Bugaboo Creek has that whole outdoorsy Canadian vibe, and its walls are decorated like a mountain hunting lodge (though some of the animals, and a Christmas tree, actually talk...) The atmosphere is easygoing yet not too informal. There can be quite a wait at busy times of the week. We like the whole grain bread, and the food overall is... More

We went with a group for a business lunch and the service was attentive, swift and knowledgeable… The food was not bad, and they have interesting combo options… Nobody complained about the quality or size of the food. (My ribs were very, very tender) Decoration is a little bit saturated & kind of weird with those hanging small animals and... More

We are in town on business and are exclusively eating at restaurants not available near home. That said we came into Bugaboo Creek optimistic expecting at least a parallel meal to other chain steakhouses (ie. Outback Steakhouse). The wait was equal and that was about it. We waited a while for our drink orders to be taken and our salad... More

The place hangs dead animal heads and skins on the walls. It promotes itself as the Great Outdoors and ends up killing America's wildlife for tacky decorations. The food was over cooked, and tough. The salad was almost slimey, and the service poor and lack luster. Save your money and go somewhere else. You'll be better off.

We ate hear on Saturday night, and as with past meals here we were not disappointed. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated inside with a rustic Western theme, with lot of talking animal heads on the walls and antelope-antler chandeliers hanging from above. Ouw aitress was very nice and attentive, and brought me one of most tasty virgin Blood Marys I'd... More

tried their filet steak and at $18.99 was very good value and tasted good. A very wide range of reasonable priced wines - tried a few..made for an enjoyable meal. Would certainly go back. Not sure about the talking moose - good for kids maybe but perhaps switch it off in the later evening - its absurd. The beers were... More

I and a co-worker stopped in here for dinner. We ordered baby back ribs but received spare fatty pork ribs instead. When we brought this to the Managers attention he apologized and said they were experimenting with different ribs and adjusted the charge for them. Please if you have Baby Back ribs on the menu, serve them and make sure... More

I have never been disappointed here. The servers are always on and no request is too ridiculous. These folks come through every time. The Prime Rib is done wonderfully and they will improv on the sides for you. Good enough to a "once a month" stop.
