text: Three friends and I were looking for a restaurant on State Street for dinner before a show at the Overture Center One friend said he was really craving a burger so when we came upon the Buck Badger we decided to give it a try We figured if they were able to afford to be so close to the Capitol they had to be pretty decent Unfortunately this was not the casennWe were seated right away and were served drinks pretty quickly which seemed promising although the specialty Jack Daniels cocktails two of us ordered came in disappointingly small glasses But then after we ordered our food we waited And waited and waited It was at least a half an hour before our food arrived so even though we had initially given ourselves well over an hour to eat before our show started we felt rushed once we finally got our foodnnThe food itself was okay but nothing that wowed us I chose not to spend the extra for a side because I thought the coleslaw that came with my sandwich would be good enough who seriously wants to spend for a side order of fries but the coleslaw was absolutely tasteless The menu describes it as sweet mustard cole slaw but it was basically wet cabbage My chicken sandwich while nice and hot was also pretty bland The sweet potato chip breading did not have as much flavor as I would anticipated and they really skimped on the chipotle mayo My friends enjoyed their burgers but did not seem overly impressed and the long wait certainly did not helpnnIf I would had a chance to read reviews before we went there I do not think we would have gone in the first place knowing that we had a show to get to and others have experienced the same very long wait we did Also other reviewers mentioned that they received complimentary chocolate chip cookies We did not get any so either they no longer do this or they were forgotten since we had to flag down our waitress just to pay the bill so we could get to our show on time Either way this was a disappointing dining experience and with so many other restaurants on State Street I would not bother with a second visit to the Buck Badger
