Bunny’s Buckets & Bubbles

Never got a chance to order. Had been hoping to visit this place since I heard it had gluten-free fried chicken. It was listed as one of the Preakness stops so I was really excited for the experience. Found 2hr accessible street parking right out front around noon. No greeter or host at the door. (Maybe that's their style). Looked around for a bit and since the bar was empty decided to just sit and order there. Grabbed my own menu to look over the options. Cute names. Typical Bmore prices. Nothing was labeled gluten-free except the fried chicken. I pretty much had to flag down the person behind the bar like I was marchaling in a 747 to ask a question. He answered dismissively and walked to the back of the restaurant. I just got up and left. There are way too many great places with great service to enjoy in Baltimore. I was very disappointed. If you value the experience as much as your meal, don't eat here.

I haven't had fried chicken in years! The gluten free fried chicken was amazing. Honestly couldn't even tell it was gluten free. It was very crispy. I didn't get the greens though. Had the Ramona Flowers mocktail which was really tasty as well. Weather was nice so I sat in their cute outside area. If you're sensitive to gluten the fries have. cross contamination. The biscuits aren't gluten free, but they can swap it out with a GF English muffin.

tl; dr I had high hopes for this fried chicken place, but ended up disappointed by the food, including a raw biscuit. 1. The food: The chicken was crispy and juicy with an herb seasoning, although the seasoning only made it onto part of my chicken, The hot honey miso sauce tasted like mayonnaise, with none of the umami of miso and no heat. (We are not sure if we were given a different sauce than we had ordered.) The gochuchang BBQ sauce was better, but very sweet, tasting like molasses. Gochuchang itself has sugar, so the combination was sweet on sweet. Where this meal really fell flat was the sides. My biscuit was raw in the middle--potentially a health risk, given that raw flour can have salmonella. My spouse's biscuit was underbaked. Coleslaw was flavorless and tasted like raw cabbage. Collard greens were cooked but minimally flavored and could have benefited from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (or really any other flavor; they mostly tasted like salt). 2. The service: Speedy and attentive. 3. The atmosphere: The bathroom is wallpapered with playboy magazine printouts of topless women. I think it was meant to be cutesy (restaurant is named "Bunny's"), but it came off as objectifying. Not kid-friendly. 4. The value: There are multiple fees. For example, white meat chicken comes with a surcharge. Credit cards also elicit a 2% fee. And of course, any extra sauce will cost several dollars for a small cup. Especially given the poor quality of the food, it was expensive at $30/person (for an entree and non-alcoholic drink, before tax, tip, and credit card fees) 5. For those with dietary restrictions: The chicken is dredged in rice flour, meaning that it would be gluten-free for anyone requiring that. They have non-alcoholic bubbly, although it is very sweet and tastes more like sparkling apple juice than like champagne. There are few if any options for vegetarians, since even the sides and salads mostly contain meat.
