Great Corn Dogs and Fried Chicken Basket - Edit
It was amazing to have a vegan Corn Dog, the taste, smell and structure of this dish was just great. The Fried Chicken Basket was also fantastic, two big "chickens" with a awesome taste and a perfect matching gravy. Both dishes came with fries and we had enough on our plate for a quick dinner.

Great vegan pub grub, beers and music - Edit
All vegan all the time is the saying on the menu. The folks who operate this Edmonton institution give a damn and have fun doing it. Sit down and grab a sea change lager and a sinfully delicious bar favourite. Catch great rock music or dance the night away. This is my favourite bar in Edmonton.

Excellent! All the greasy pub food you'll ever want. - Edit
I ate here twice during my visit of the Edmonton Fringe. I kind of love the irreverence of not renaming anything that is traditionally made with animal products. I also didn't think I'd ever hear the sentence: "What would you recommend for a non-vegan." at a bar.
Read moreThe chicken and waffles were absolutely amazing. The chicken was more meatball like than fried chicken but it was very tasty nonetheless. The Buffalo chicken wings could've been a little crisper and less greasy but I still enjoyed them. The BBQ burger was a bit of a flop, the patty was way to soggy. I tried the greek wrap without cheese the next day and this was definitely a great choice if you are looking for something less greasy but still delicious. Loved the Mexi-fries. A non-vegan friend ordered the mac-and-cheese but without the hot-sauce and he was quite delighted as he hadn't enjoyed proper mac-and-cheese since becoming lactose intolerant.
Cons: Benches are a bit of a ripped clothing hazard

Typical Greasy Bar Food - Edit
MY last meal in Edmonton and it was good, but not great. Typical greasy bar food, and hot overpowered flavor. Not too spicy that I did not like it. But everything had some hot sauce or simple spices that overpowered the rest.

Good Vegan Pub Fair - Edit
On a visit to Edmonton, a friend took me to The Buckingham. We ordered the wings as an appetizer, I ordered the BBQ burger (with poutine fries) and my friend ordered the donair. The wings were so-so but we both enjoyed our entrees and the poutine was pretty good!

Can’t believe there is a vegan bar - Edit
Was so happy and surprised there is a vegan bar/pub in town. Service and food was good. We went on ‘wing’ night and it was such a good deal! Tables where very sticky but it is more of a bar so that’s kinda expected but not fun. Music was very very loud even though we went early just for eats.
Read morePros: All vegan, Affordable , Yummy
Cons: Too loud, Too sticky

BEST VEGAN BAR! - Edit
The Buck is our go-to place for laid back hangs. Amazing staff, vvings, great fries, and the Crunchwrap is to DIE for! I love that I live near this place.
Read moreJust a note that this bar is fully vegan, don’t know why HappyCow characterizes it as vegetarian?
Pros: Lots of food. LOTS!, Good price point, Hip!
Cons: A little dirty but that adds to the atmosphere.

Vegan pub food for the win! - Edit
Food is always tasty! Love that they’ve decided to do a lot of standard pub style dishes but veganize them. Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is so chill. Almost always order too much food so I can take some home to my teenagers because they love it too.

Awesome unhealthy vegan food - Edit
When you are in the mood to sit in the sunshine, eat too much grease and gluten, and drink too much booze, The Buck should be your destination. I haven’t been there since the menu revamp and I am happy to report that the jalapeño poppers didn’t disappoint. The poutine was salty (in a good way) the wraps were wrappy and the corn dogs were corny. Ahhhh one of the places that makes Edmonton summers great.

10/10 vegan comfort food - Edit
The food here is fabulous. First vegan mac and cheese that actually tastes good. The vegan chicken wings are so tasty and flavorful. Poutine and mexi fries are also a must try. I swear everytime I try a new item on the all vegan menu it becomes my new favorite! If you are looking for a good vegan meal, good music, a comfortable atmoshphere and friendly and efficient staff, then this is the place to be.

All vegan all the time - Edit
The Buck is an awesome place for a beer and wings, all vegan! They have anything you’ve ever wanted to indulge in at an omnivore pub without any of the cruelty.
Read moreI’ve tried nearly everything on their menu and have never been disappointed. I recommend the jumbo with cheese (donair) with garlic fries, the salt n pepper wings, burrito, chick’n dinner with gravy and slaw, and their vegan Caesar cocktail.
Pros: All vegan, Afforable, Great pub atmosphere

Unexpected Deliciousness - Edit
I won't lie I was a skeptic when I arrived with the long wait times and all but once the food comes out and you take the first bite all your judgments dissipate. The food is so good and filling definitely a must try.

All Vegan All the Time - Edit
Funky pub atmosphere, looks like a great place to party. Food was excellent, I had a hard time deciding because everything sounded so good. We had the buffalo wings, fish tacos, fried avocado tacos, chicken and waffles and the garlic fries...it was all very good. The server was great, she took our order promptly and the food came out hot in a timely manner. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Good Beer, Good food, Good music! - Edit
Cool place with a wide selection of beers and vegan pub food. They have food discounts on Friday. The place is spacious, music is cool, you can play flipper, the patio is awesome. The only thing I didn't like is names of meals. I guess they have a reason for that, but I can't understand why would anyone call vegan dish "fried chicken", or "pulled pork"? Other than that, everything is excellent.

Amazing! - Edit
We were strolling along Whyte and started to get hungry. Thank goodness for the Happy Cow app, otherwise we never would have gone in here just from walking by, because there's no sign outside that would let anyone know about the amazing food. They also have a really nice patio outside. I ordered the beer-battered fish burger, which was delicious, and my husband had the pulled pork...I took a bite and it was also a winner. The garlic fries are amazing. I upgraded to the chilli-cheese fries which were good, although I would have liked a more fries to less chilli ratio.

Vegan Pub Food and Beer! - Edit
The Buckingham is pub and serves all vegan food, which is awesome. The menu is fairly large with a good variety. I ordered the vegan fish and chips, served with peas and coleslaw. I really enjoyed it, as I have never tried a vegan version of this dish. I would like to try the mozzarella sticks at some point.
Read moreI was not overly impressed with the beer selection, but when I asked the bartender for a beer with a lot of hops, he did present me with an IPA that I enjoyed. I appreciated the recommendation.
The place is not fancy, but decent in size with some outdoor seating. There was a live performance going on the evening I was there, and there was a $10 cover which I was not expecting. So, you may want to check to see if there are any special events before going out.
Pros: Vegan pub food!, Beer!

Definitely worth visiting - Edit
The pub itself is fine - though hardly a fine dining experience. It's a pub, and kind of an "old school" wooden, hasn't been renovated in years kind of thing.
Read moreBut the food is yummy, if a bit on the pricey side for what you get. We ordered the wings and they were very good. The hummus plate - though overpriced - was very good too. We would definitely go back.
