Love this place. Great brisket sandwich. Can't wait for the backyard on the river in better weather. Hidden gem

You will enjoy every bite!! Bucks has amazing BBQ and the sides are out of this world - make sure you get the Brussels and the coleslaw and say hi to Buck!!

Food is delicious!!! Make sure you stop and try if you're in the area. Best food we've had during our trip.

Buck is the man!! Make sure you go here if your within 100 miles.. get the coleslaw but don't ask for the recipe its a secret.

Been here twice now and never again! Since you couldn't place an order over the phone you had to go there to place an order. The two times I went to the Ludlow location there were 1-2 ppl working and they were busy. With that came the long wait for your food. We wanted to try it a second time just in case we just had an "off" experience the fist time around but sadly that wasnt the case. Each time we tried a little of everything. Ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. Ribs were fatty and just not good. Pulled pork was ok but on the dry side. The brisket, which was tender, however, we only recived pieces of meat as if we got the "left overs" from the cuts of meat. For the amount of money that was spent each time my family was very disappointed and we will never be back again. I was surprised to learn they have 2-3 locations. Worst BBQ I've ever had.

Pretty much the best all around BBQ I have ever tried! They really let their quality meats do the talking. First time trying barbecue style from South Africa and it was truly excellent. The owner and his daughter are genuinely nice people and were constantly checking on us to make sure our experience was going great. I will be back soon

Fantastic BBQ, great smoky flavor. Best brisket and Mac and cheese around! Thanks Buck! Love that South African friendliness! Thank you for welcoming us!

We were just driving around, saw the smoker going on in the front of the restaurant & decided to stop in. Were we absolutely blown away. The brisket melted in your mouth, the ribs fell off the bone! ABSOLUTELY amazing. Buck came up to us personally & introduced himself, I love supporting the smaller restaurants, love supporting my fellow Americans. Being on the river also created a nice view. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends & family.

This placed is closed and no longer exists. Thanks to the internet, its closing is not advertised. Thanks for our wasted trip to this nonexistent restaurant.Went to the front door and nothing was posted about new address. Either way, you lost a future customer. Another reason northern Kentucky sucks!

I love going to Bucks! My absolute Fav is the loaded pulled pork fries they're absolutely amazing. The BBQ sandwhich is killer along with the brisket and all the other goodies they offer! They brung in pool tables and dart boards for some fun as well. I would recommend going there.

Buck's is great. The food was out immediately, very cheap prices for the amazing quality. The grilled brussel sprouts are a must. I will definitely be back. Plus, Buck himself greeted us and was very polite and welcoming.

Buck’s BBQ is one of my favorite stops along the River. If you love barbecue, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. Their Filet Steak special is amazing!
