    My in laws brought us to Bucks Tavern to show off one of their favorite spots in the area. They usually sit at the bar, but it was a busy Saturday night and with four of us, there just wasn't room. We ended up waiting about 20-30 minutes for a table and hung out in the little entrance room where they had a few seats. We realized most people were hanging out in their cars and that was probably a better and warmer idea. Our server was friendly and grabbed waters and our other drink orders right away. We ended up ordering their version of mozzarella sticks (half moon shaped pieces) and stuffed mushrooms (deep fried and stuffed) for appetizers and both were great. I loved the house made sauces that paired with them. I ended up ordering the Italian Beef sandwich with extra giardiniera and a side caesar. The beef was really flavorful, but the sandwich started falling apart when I tried to eat it so I ended up going knife and fork with it. I think next time I'd order it with cheese like another Yelper did and maybe some Italian dressing so pour over. The giardiniera was delicious! My husband got the chicken fingers and french fries (they don't come as one meal) and ranch and the portions are very generous. He didn't end up finishing everything, but really enjoyed it. My FIL got the pot roast sandwich with a side chopped salad and my MIL just got the chopped salad. THey love this spot and especially the chopped salad. The server made sure our waters were full and checked on us frequently. The whole space feels like someone's basement with the decor and the food definitely has a more personal touch. The portions on everything were great and the pricing seemed about right for the area and what you receive. Would come back again!

    Bucks was recommended to me by some friends who work there in the kitchen, they hyped up the burger, you know I hada try it. I sat at the bar, bartender was cool, not a crazy craft draft list tho so I went with the bells ipa (rating on untapped) Only 2 burgers on the menu, plus the burger of the month, so I went with the bucks burger. Only comes with 2 toppings, i added pickle and onion. Came out relatively quick after looking around and enjoying the atmosphere with my drink. The burger was pretty good. Fries crispy, and the chili hit the spot. I prefer smash patty style more but one patty can be done right, example bucks. I wasn't blown away by the food, but the hunting/ homey atmosphere and excitement of the new burger of the month would bring me back.

    Meatloaf sandwich and fries

    My husband and I wanted to try a restaurant that was new to us. We decided on Bucks Tavern because it was nearby and has a good rating on Yelp. We were seated right away and a server presented us with a menu and took our drink orders. The menu is small but everything sounded good. We ordered a soft pretzel as an appetizer and it was 3 soft pretzel sticks. It was very tasty. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and my husband got a meatloaf with fries. We both really enjoyed our meals. The fries were excellent. The decor of the restaurant was very nice and welcoming.

    Demolished happy hour nonsense. Beautiful!

    I started hitting this place pretty regularly once I found out they got some shipments of some…read moreBourbons I like. However, tonight I went up there and bought a bottle of bourbon and the man behind the counter had charged two airplane bottles of Jack Daniels to my total before I even rang out - must've done it while I was browsing since there was nothing near the scanner when I rang out. I caught it once I swiped my card & alerted him to it. He told me that since I had already swiped my card it was too late to cancel the transaction. I canceled it at the keypad & made him take it off. The fact that I caught him red handed & he was STILL going to make me pay for it!? GFOH!! Just an FYI - pay attention to what they ring you out!!

    Lou's is not a large liquor store and doesn't have an extensive variety or amount of anything, but…read moreit's A-OK in my book since they do make sure to have all the bases covered - beers, vodkas, gins, wines, whiskey, mixers, etc. There's a little bit of everything and the prices are fair. The interior and exterior are obviously dated/aged but everything was tidy and it was very easy to find what we were looking for. There's really nothing to complain about except for maybe the area but even then it's just aged and not really up to the standard that the rest of Mason is - but I can't imagine it'll be like that for too much longer. If you are in the area and need something common they'll likely have it and are a viable option, but if you want something uncommon/rare then you'll need to go elsewhere.

    Please come to this restaurant if you are in the Cincinnati area!…read more First, I wish to state that I am not from Ohio and that this is my first time eating at Two Cities, but this restaurant might be my favorite pizza shop going forward. Second, I only had two of the items on the menu but so many of the other options on the menu looked amazing as well. This Two Cities was built inside the old city hall of Mason, with Mason being a cozy little town in of itself. The restaurant smells amazing upon entering, course it would because they cook their food fresh. It's even got a little ramp that leads down to the main seating area for mobility impaired persons. My first minor issue with this Two Cities was that the booth I was sitting at was slightly raised by a literal step, which nearly made me trip while exiting the booth because I hardly noticed getting into the booth due to my height (6'3 at the time of writing review). There are other booths though that are not raised, so an opinion is to be based of where you are seated. My waitress was really kind and offered a helpful opinion when I was deciding on which pizza to get after being seated by a host. The waitress also allowed me to put in my order all at once (drink, appetizer, and entree). The appetizer (garlic parmesan fries) arrived fast and were undoubtedly scrumptious; the fries were a near perfect mix of crunchy and soft with the shredded parmesan and minced garlic adding extra flavor. Their ranch is also superb. I got the 13" Rhythm Road Pizza (which I shared with someone. I could not eat half of a deep dish pizza alone) and it was something else. Most importantly, it had MASHED POTATO on it instead of a traditional pizza sauce and notably, chipotle aioli drizzled on top (there are more toppings, of course, but they're more normal toppings). Unfortunately, the pizza slices were unevenly sliced, leading to inconsistent slice size and the toppings slide off the pizza easily when scooped up with the provided pizza spatula, all minot grievances of course. The only true complaint I had with this Two Cities was that my waitress did not actively seek out to refill my glass when it was empty. I will say that my drink was not close to the edge for her to see, but it was within view from any view of the table. There were a relatively high number of customers in the restaurant for the time I was there (about an hour before closing), so I don't hold it against her for not noticing. The cups were average size, so I wasn't exactly dying of thirst while dining. The music inside was of good taste and was at a very respectable volume. The other patrons were also well mannered and I had no need to raise my voice to speak to my dining buddy. The final thing I wish to add to this review is how nice the bathroom was. They were very clean, had two urinals (short and tall), one wheelchair accessible stall, nice smelling soap, a simple water control handle, a foot doorhandle, and MOUTHWASH. This is only public building I have ever been in that has offered complementary mouthwash, let alone a bathroom. This could be an Ohio or Midwest exclusive thing, but I enjoyed using the mouthwash nonetheless.

    Not the best pizza but they have two unique styles (New York or Chicago) depending on your tastes…read more We went on a Friday evening and it was pretty crowded and the noise level was high. Be prepared to drop $25 - $30 for a pizza for 2 or 3. Good beer and wine list. Tight parking at busiest times. No reservations but they do a call ahead so call ahead for the fastest service.
