A place to grab a drink and lunch on the patio looking over the river. Service was good and inside is like a typical sports bar. Food we had was fine but not exceptional. It was a convenient stop near the Cincinnati Zoo and walking distance to New Riff Distillery. read more

Food was delicious, staff was friendly, 2nd time here and everything was consistent with the food and service. Beautiful water views . Lovely decor. Looks like a mountain lodge read more

Nice view! And the food was pretty good. However, almost every staff member we encountered (except for one sweet host) was very short with us, verging on hostile. Our server was confused when I ordered my beer because he had no idea it was on the menu, then the beer my family member ordered was not actually being served there anymore. Our server got weirdly defensive about it and didn't offer any recommendations. Then when we were ordering, our server got really intense with us, basically snapping at my sweet mom in response to clarifying questions about the menu. Honestly, the best part was how our server barely came back to check on us, since he was pretty unpleasant. I got the sense that someone higher up is creating a toxic work environment, because everyone working was in a horrific mood. read more

Rocio was our server and she did great:) Our food was delicious and we had a great view. We will definitely be back!!

I really enjoyed my dinner at Buckhead Mountain Grill. My server was very knowledgeable about the menu and willingly shared her favorites, including why she liked those so much. She gave me time to make decisions and was available but also didn't "hover" over me. I sat on the deck, enjoying a warm summer Monday evening and watching traffic on the Ohio River. The warm rolls with cinnamon butter were an amazing start to my meal. I had a grilled chicken salad with the house made bleu cheese dressing, and it was excellent. The portion was generous; I brought half of it home for another meal. Buckhead is certainly an option for future visits to the Cincinnati/Newport/Bellevue area. read more

Service and food were great, the view out to the river was amazing. Will definitely try to visit again.

I have a lot of good things to say about this restaurant but first let me start by saying how amazing our server was. I didn't catch his name but he's a grandpa with 7 grandkids. He so friendly but also really great at serving his customers. The outdoor dining is fantastic and has a lot of tables plus inside was roomy as well. The bathrooms were clean. Our food was delicious, especially the French fries- yum! We live about 3 hours north and we're only passing through but next time we do we will certainly stop here because it was a great experience. read more

Had lunch at the bar on Sunday 7/7/24. Great experience because Bar Tender Lisa L was exceptionably personable and provided prompt service. She made the visit a very nice time. read more

Freezing in there! Ask waitress if AC could be turned down, she said she would ask the manager. It felt like it got colder, we were so happy to go outside in the 98° weather. I got the cod sandwich, which was a very small piece of cod battered lightly. read more

Staying at a nearby hotel and after traveling we wanted dinner close by. With plenty of selections we chose this place since the menu had a little bit of everything. it looks like a lodge and had a great views of the river/city. We started with the cheese boulders that came highly recommended by our server, they were more than just fried mozzarella/provolone, better flavor. I had the island mule and my husband had to do an old fashioned, so good he ordered a second. He tried the pot roast and I had the bourbon glazed pork loin with rice& loaded potato soup. My husband's salad and bread came, no soup. Then our meals came and my soup cup is on the plate with the meal. Would have preferred it prior. Then I cut into the pork which by the way the glaze sauce was amazing but the meat was on the rare/raw side. I sent it back and she said they were making a brand new one, welll it came out bew and a lot smaller and missing my rice. All in all not sure worth going again if we ever came back to the area. read more

Sunset dinner on the Ohio River ! Requested a rail side table on the deck overlooking Cincinnati, multiple bridges and the Ohio river - seated immediately. Half off appetizers from 4 to 7 PM. Fried green tomatoes and cheese boulders were excellent and came right away. Entrées were the chicken pot pie and Durango wrap. Basket of warm rolls and cinnamon butter. Also, came right away. More than enough food, allowing for leftovers to take home. Our server, Makayla, was pleasant and attentive. Well, worth the short drive from Cincinnati. read more

The sun was finally out and shining and we took the opportunity to check out Newport! So happy we did! Buckheads has a wonderful patio area with outdoor dining and a riverfront view! We even saw a few boats go by! The food was excellent! We tried the buckhead burger and a honey chipotle chicken sandwich both were cooked to perfection! Honestly 5 stars and their rolls are served with cinnamon butter! so good! We'll be back! read more

The meal made me very very ill. I ordered a Kentucky Hot brown ( Kentucky speciality food) and they substituted cayenne for pepper. The waitress was honest that that had a few people sick. You are in the food service and you have a cook that makes people sick. You are a disgrace to ALL food industries. Go if you want to thrown up in car and have diarrhea all the way home. Thanks for the memories. I am calling health department and credit card company. read more

Buckhead Grill offers what I would call "upgraded bar food" . The usual burgers and such are acceptable but nothing special. $5 for a small draft and $14.50 for a fish sandwich (with fries). Not outrageous but not a bargain, either. Good service and the outside deck offers a great view of Cincinnati. Free parking in their lot. read more

Wanda H 12/10/2024 I have visited the restaurant a few times in the past few months. Unfortunately, today, my friend and I were having a late lunch and were told by another patron while leaving, "Be careful because there are mice and rats running around." We thought he was joking until I saw a mouse run across the floor. We told the server, and he confirmed that they have mice. He suggested that we move to a different restaurant section. Later, the manager came over to our table and apologized but thanked us for not making a scene. We left traumatized and will not dine there again. read more

Got here for a late dinner, 8pm, nobody at door to greet me, but I waited. 2 minutes go by and the greeter shows up with a soda and apologizes for my wait. Place is fairly empty, I ask for a table or booth with a view of the tv, so I could watch some Monday Night Football. They have a lot of TV's here, so that was not a problem. I get waited on pretty quick. I came here for the fried chicken. Had it before and it was excellent. So the order was pretty easy. Some hot rolls were brought while I waited. I think about 6 inches of my waistline are made up of hot rolls! My meal arrived in mo time and looked delicious. The chicken leg was perfect. Crunchy and tasty exterior. Next up the breast. First bite ok! Second bite a little chewy and cold. The third bite and I'm thinking something is wrong. I turn to my trusty phone and turn on the flashlight and look at the chicken. Oh to my dismay, raw chicken. I figure ok, big piece didn't get cooked all the way. I eat the thigh and wing and there is no problem. The baked potato and the baked apples were good. The waiter came and asked how everything was, I told him about the raw chicken and he looked at me like a deer in headlights. I know what he is thinking, I'm just looking for a free meal. Sorry Bob (not his name or maybe it was), not the case. After about a minute of him looking at me, he asks if I want to see the manager. Normally, I would like to tell the manager that something wasn't cooked, but a waiter shouldn't ask, apologize and then go tell the manager, don't stare at me and ask as if you think I'm making something up. So yea, this time was 2 stars.....last two times it was 4 stars. Maybe it's the difference between lunch and a late dinner? End of night and the server had a bad night? We all have bad nights, but having eaten raw chicken, I'm worried I'm going to have a really bad night! (Lol, a little humor there). So before you make your final decision based upon my review, this was my fourth or fifth time here, but my first bad experience. I know the last two times were great, me and my kids love the place. So one out of five isn't bad. And had it not been for the staring contest with the server, maybe it would have been 3 stars. I've served myself uncooked chicken at home, it happens, just don't stare at me and try to make me feel like the uncooked chicken is my fault. This place is usually pretty good, I plan on going back, I'd suggest you try it too. Fried chicken tastes great when it's all cooked. So don't let this review scare you away. read more

Our party of 5 dined Tuesday evening at 6:30. At first we were told it would be a 15 minute wait but we were seated almost immediately. We ordered a round of drinks and were served promptly by an enthusiastic young man. The food was very good, not 5 Star but very good. Our Server Liz was super friendly and efficient and attentive. One issue came up with my brother's order of fish & chips. The cod fillets were the smallest and skinniest cod fillets I've ever seen. Liz immediately rectified the situation with a free order of white fish cooked to perfection. Again, the service was 5 Star and greatly appreciated. read more

The atmosphere is very cool. And out server was actually really good. The problem is the price point and quality of the food. The rolls were the highlight of the meal lol and the mashed potatoes were good. But wife's steak was over cooked and pretty dry and my food was ok but not great. The Cesar salad was not good at all. First time I ever sent a salad back ever lol. read more

I've been to this place several times for brunch and I love it here! The main reason I love it is the view of the city! I love eating with a beautiful view. My favorite time to go here is during the summer when I can sit outside and enjoy the lovely view. The brunch is a Buffett. The cheesy potatoes are my life. I love the waffle bar as well because it can be made however you want. $2 mimosas with brunch as well. read more

This place was awesome! I highly recommend the Arapahoe chicken. Great views of the river and our server, Austin, was very friendly and helpful. read more

I have been to Buckhead with my husband on countless occasions and we've always had good service here. They're always very accommodating -- especially when my dad was alive and he would come with us in his wheelchair. They were always able to get us a Handicapped accessible table for my dad and the waitstaff made over my dad, (which trust me -- he enjoyed the extra attention). The food here is always good and we even ate here for Thanksgiving 2019 and enjoyed the buffet that was offered. I ate here yesterday (on New Year's Day) and my husband and I really enjoyed our food. I got the steak fajitas and my husband got a pork chop steak. We both really enjoyed our food. All of our food came out piping hot and fresh. read more

Disappointing visit to Buckhead,generally very solid and taking my girlfriend for her first visit , she asked our waiter for his suggestions for favorite and his recommendation of chicken pot pie for her was very good,nicely done. On the other hand his other recommendations on the Arapahoe Chicken fell well short, served on appetizer plate ,with small ,flattened chicken breast ,that was dry and tough. The size of meat was even more disappointing when table next received their order(southwest chicken breast) ,with nice plump chicken ,covered with fresh topping ,hard to imagine came out of same kitchen.To make it worse the steamed broccoli side was cold, and hard, obviously not steamed. The waiter handled the problem quickly though, and replacement was done correctly,but it came while I was about finished with Chicken and wild rice(which that was another poor presentation). 3 star is really generous and only because how good my girlfriend's dish ,compared to how poor mine was.

The steak I had was very tough, over cooked and over priced. They did comp my meal which was good.

Always good food and beautiful scenery, staff is always friendly. Come early on weekends to avoid a wait.

Customer service is terrible. My friend ordered a Caesar salad with blackened salmon. The upcharge for the salmon instead of the chicken is $2. The server made a mistake and ordered the spinach salad instead of the Caesar. When the food was brought to the table, my friend told her it was not what she ordered. The server did offer to remake the salad but since my food was already at the table, my friend declined. When the bill came, the upcharge for the salmon on the spinach was $10. We talked to the manager about the problem and she refused to refund the difference in the salmon upcharge. This was truly the restaurant's fault and they should have made it right. The manager has no customer service skills. We will never go back. Was it worth $8 to lose two customers who eat there often? read more

All the stars are for Makayla! She's the most awesome server we've had on this trip! Salmon once re-cooked was lovely; teriyaki chicken was very nice. So a mid review for the food and a warning about the sodium levels! The star of the day was service! Thanks Makayla! read more

Had a birthday celebration dinner with a group of 12. Before everyone had arrived our hostess Emi had already taken and delivered drink orders and made sure as each person joining us received theirs. She had asked us about appetizers and served them quickly and hot. Emi gave us a few minutes and returned to take our orders. She topped off all the drinks after she put the orders in for preparation. The food took a little longer than usual, again all orders were served at the same time. Everyone's order was cooked as ordered and delicious. Emi came by several times to top off drinks and to make sure we didn't need anything else for our meals. Dishes were cleared quickly when each of us finished eating. We didn't order dessert as we brought a birthday cake with us. Emi asked if we needed plates and utensils and quickly returned with them. She asked if anyone needed another drink and topped off our waters again. Of course we offered her a piece of cake which she was very appreciative. Emi gave everyone their checks and completed the transactions right at our table. When we were leaving she thanked us and wished the birthday boy a happy birthday again. Emi was fantastic. The food was delicious presented well. Thank you Emi for taking care of us, you ROCK! read more

Manager on duty June 21, 2025 at 2pm was extremely unsatisfactory. Not busy we came in for mid afternoon lunch/dinner. Server explained she was training a new server. No problem. While my husband order chili he hates beans but the server said there were not a lot. I convinced my hubs to order and he could pick out beans. There was at least a 1/4 cup of beans he pulled out. I ordered a side salad with my pork loin which was not delivered with the chili. Here comes dinner, still no salad. When the server came by to check on us I informed her that I never received salad. Since I already had my hot food I no longer required or wanted the salad and they could deduct off bill. Server explains that she could bring a different side but it was included in the price. I said just take $5 off. She refused. I ask for a manager. Manager comes over. Go thru everything again. Manager says well an add on side salad is only $3 so I said then take off $3. She refuses. So I just said then the tip will reflect. I dismissed her. Server brings bill and points out $3 was deducted. I was like your manger refused. Server says they discussed and agreed to deduct. Why did I have to threaten a tip to get a mere $3 taken off bill for something I didn't receive. Why didn't the manager come over and say she took it off. This manager is not good for your business or employees. On a $51 bill I left $20 tip. For me it was not about the money. It was about the handling of the situation. This manager needs to be written up and have a review and training on how to effectively handle unhappy customer. Food was fair/good server was pulling double duty by serving and training. Manager didn't care about the fact that I didn't receive my salad. Nor could she think out that taking $3 off a $34 dollar meal would make it right with the customer. I should never had to have threaten a tip to get something I didn't receive taken off the bill. When the server actually saw that I left her $20 tip she came back and thanked me. read more

We will be back for the nachos. But everything else we tried was meh to bleh. Ceaser salad - flavorless could have been a bag salad Lobster Mac and cheese - worst I have ever had Denali Burger - half as good as a BigBoys. Had so much of the special sauce I had to wipe off a bunch with the wilted single piece of lettuce on it. Fries were good. Did not try the steaks and they did not give us a reason to. read more
