Venados Cantina (aka Buck's West)

This place is great!!! They have amazing wait staff, best bartenders, and hand dipped ice cream plus an arcade for the kiddos!!! The food was delicious, fresh and even the kiddos loved it!

I want to say THANK YOU for the over and above fabulous service I received from the amazing staff at Venados! I had a last minute event, and called at 7pm the night before to see if they could help me. The staff and GM were so awesome to work with. Helped me put together a menu to serve for 20 people! They took care of everything, and even delivered to my event the next morning. The food was delicious, and everyone left happy and full! Thank you again Nick and your amazing staff! We are patrons for life!

Kyndull and raygen were amazing bartenders/ servers and the food was great!! I definitely recommend to anyone visiting or living in Jamaica beach!!! P.s. owner need to put a step stool behind the bar for the shorter one!

Buck's West / Venados Cantina is the first building you come to when you enter Jamaica Beach. It's the first and last stop you'll need! They have it all. Read on ..

For reference, my family has had a home on this island for 53+ years! So I know a good thing when I see it, so I have to tell you all about it.

Great Food
I ordered the Tacos al Carbon, and I have food allergies, so it was nice that my requests were met and exceeded every expectation for dinner that night. I can't tell you how relieved I was to get the perfect tacos served to me, the way I like them. Thank you!

Great Staff
Sure I could list all their names, but actually I don't think I've met them all. Everyone I met was awesome and knew their stuff, and made sure I was taken care of. I think if you have a nice place like theirs it's awesome when you have a great staff too. Good job y'all!

Great Community
Jamaica Beach is a large community of homeowners that share their smiles and laughs at the local eateries and shops. Once you get there you'll know what I'm talking about.

Great View
This place is huge. Tons of seating. You can sit outside on the patio overlooking the ocean, or sit inside at the bar and watch the Astros play baseball as you watch the waves crash on the beach. This place has about 1.6 million TV screens, so you can see the action from anywhere you sit. Very thoughtful!

Great Bar
Ask for it and they probably have it. Full bar. That's nice. They have a really cool high-tech bar tap system that has party lights! You have to see this! I like that the bar stays open till 2:00 a.m. so whether you like to party earlier or late they are open!

Great Karaoke
Like it or not but this place has a great karaoke system. With the click of a button all the big screens turn into karaoke screens. The sound system is incredible, and you can see it hanging from the ceiling, like you're at a real venue for live performances. It sounds amazing and it's awesome that you can walk around anywhere in the bar and see a screen and sing with the wireless mic. There's some really great talent in this bar. You have to come and check it out! Put your name on the list!

Great Game Room
Kids? Or are you an adult child that still likes to play video games? Well they've got you covered. I saw some kids back there playing and look like fun to me. Again it's nice at this place has thought of everything and made it family-friendly as well. Good job!

Great Parking
Hey almost forgot to tell you! Tons of parking, and they even have golf cart only parking in the back. Take a look at the picture with the sunset. Those are golf cart parking spaces. Pretty cool.

To summarize,
This is the first and last stop you'll need in Jamaica Beach.

Great food, great staff, great view, great bar, awesome karaoke. Open till 2am. Boom.
