Bugaboo Creek Steak House

See Gone, But Not Forgotten.

Bugaboo Creek Steak House (AKA Bugaboo Creek) was a chain steakhouse located on Jefferson Road. The interior was decorated to look like a Canadian hunting lodge. The decor includeed animatronic trees and animals that sing songs or move around. The menu was mainly beef, with some seafood (salmon, trout and shrimp). The full bar had a few domestic and import beers on tap, as well as a short wine list. The kid's menu was extensive, and there were usually a fair number of families with small children dining there.

Former location of Coco's Carousel. Closed in 2015. Bar Louie took over the space for their second area location, but it did not last long. Becoming Splash Car Wash in 2023.

2008-07-06 13:54:55   I've been searching for a replacement to my once favorite Roadhouse Grill that closed recently, and this was one potential contender. The atmosphere is fun and really unique—it's like a trip into the Adirondacks. I had a trio meal, with BBQ chicken, BBQ Ribs, and steak. The highlight was most definitely the steak. The ribs were all right—but I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce. The chicken was not memorable at all, though when salted enough, was acceptable. The steak was the shining gem. Although I've only been once, the trick might be to make sure you order a steak or nothing at all.

The service was good, and the prices were slightly on the high side—but there was plenty of food to show for it.

Definitely worth a try. —LincolnComet

I've come here twice since I moved to Rochester and the service is inconsistent, but I would assume that most customers will receive average customer service. —JenFromDC
