The service is really good. Seated promptly, waters come out promptly, minor order modifications handled easily. We have really enjoyed the variety of food. My husband loves the salads and the bowls and pizzas are also good. Probably the favorite entree we have had is the fish and chips. We find the drinks particularly reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. We really like the blueberry one. The space is sunny and open. We have been with our kids and see lots of friendly groups dining there. Free parking in the garage is another plus.

I forget our servers name, but the manager also came by to check on us and even got my food boxed. We got a burger and the chicken katsu and of course the famous biscuits to start. The biscuits were very good but also a bit buttery greasy for our taste. One was enough (we split it). I did take the rest home and add some eggs to it for breakfast which was good! The burger was pretty good. Nice and salty. Not dripping with grease. Soft bun! The fries were decent but not my preferred style. I like fresh cut and these were kind of a shoestring fry. The chicken was decent but a pretty small portion that left my fiancé hungry. He said the side with it was just ok. We got cocktails that I can't recall but they were pretty good. We would go back and try some other things. Probably on a less busy day earlier in the week.

This place has tons of parking which is free. The pricing for mini golf was really good better than anywhere else - unlimited and two different 18-hole courses (I will say the courses itself could use an upgrade - new paint or adding some objects to the course to make the established holes a bit more challenging. We paid 9 dollars per person. The driving range was also pretty cheap for buckets of balls - it would be a fun afternoon to bring the dads for driving range, the kids for mini golf and the moms can eat food and hang or enjoy the range as well. The food looked good, but we did not partake - the drinks were decently well priced - a can of beer 3.50 - a sway was 6 bucks. They have free concerts every now and then at their art installation, which is pretty cool, I also think it's cool how they do 5 buck Mondays. The staff was nice enough, my only complaint is the grass was a little overgrown, so we got ate up with chiggers and skeeters.

She made us feel completely comfortable and truly made an already wonderful meal even better. Exceptional service from beginning to end! The restaurant itself is adorable, modern, beautifully decorated, and has a lovely patio. But the service and food completely stole the show. We ordered several appetizers, including the bruschetta, fried green tomatoes, corn and ricotta dip, and pimento croquettes. I'm VERY picky, and I genuinely wouldn't change a single thing. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and cooked exactly right. The bruschetta was so good that we ordered a second round! The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp with a delicious sauce, and the pimento croquettes were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and paired perfectly with the sauce and pickles. The corn and ricotta dip was delicious as well. Nothing was too salty, under-seasoned, overcooked, or missing anything. The flavors were spot-on across the board. For dessert, we had the peach butter cake with everything on the side. The cake was delicious on its own and even better with the ice cream. It's rare to try so many dishes and not want to change a single thing, but that was the case here. The food was top-notch, and Olivia truly made the experience. We will definitely be back and will absolutely recommend this place to others. Amazing food, amazing service, and an overall experience that went above and beyond.

Think eclipse-level rare. This Saturday was no exception... except somehow we all had a lunch window. So naturally, like any responsible American family, we turned it into a food mission for BaldWhiteGuyReviews After consulting the sacred scroll of Yelp, I presented the following contenders to the Bald Group Chat Council: Broadway Barrel House - Lebanon, Ohio Cozy's Cafe & Pub - Liberty Township, Ohio Third Eye Brewing Company - Sharonville, Ohio Luigi's Ristorante Italiano - Mason, Ohio Silver Spring House Restaurant - Cincinnati, Ohio All strong contenders. But as with any family decision, chaos ensued. We landed on Third Eye Brewing... until we discovered they open at noon. Noon?! What is this, brunch for the elite?! Don't have time for that! So... runner-up takes the crown: Silver Spring House Restaurant We plugged it into Waze and cruised through Symmes Township... where every house whispered, "you can't afford me" We rolled in just after 11am. Big parking lot, filling up fast. Bright blue building screaming "vacation mode activated." Palm trees (probably fake, but there was a heated family debate ), surfboards, and even Mr. Red welcoming us like we just got traded to the Reds. Inside? Instant Florida Keys vibe. Never been... but I felt like I should be holding a fruity drink and ignoring responsibilities #RetirementGoals Decor included walls covered in 8x10 photos of what I assume are patrons. My question: how do I get MY picture up there? I too would like to silently judge people eating mozzarella sticks for eternity #TakeMyPicture Now let's talk seating...High-top tables everywhere. Perfect if you enjoy climbing furniture like it's an Olympic sport. #NoThanks Low tables? YES PLEASE. My knees and dignity thank you.

I don't want to make eye contact every 3 minutes like I'm begging for survival hydration. Just leave the pitcher and let me live my life #GameChanger #StrongWork FOOD TIME Everyone (and by everyone, I definitely don't mean me ) was starving. We started with Roadhouse Skins $14.50 Loaded potato wedges with cheese, bacon, ranch... the holy trinity. ‍ Verdict: Good... not life-changing. Those thick wedges? Felt like I was eating a baked potato that hit the gym too hard. Needed Jasper Kitchen - steak fries energy.Cheese blend? Solid.Ranch drizzle? Tease. GIVE ME A SIDE CUP. Don't play with my emotions. #ProTip Mrs. Bald * Caesar Salad ($7.50) -- fresh, filling, approved * Buffalo Boneless Wings ($16.50) -- which is wild because... boneless wings are just expensive chicken nuggets with a college degree Huge portion. Crispy, saucy, excellent spice. Came with blue cheese... which tastes like it was aged in a gym sock #RanchPleaseCelery included so you can pretend you're making healthy choices. The Princess * Cheese Sticks ($13.50) Cooked perfectly. Crispy outside, gooey inside. Marinara? Chunky, flavorful, borderline drinkable My Son * BCJ Sandwich ($17.50) Chicken, bacon, cheese, fries... the holy sandwich alliance.He'd been here before (traitor) and confirmed it still hits. Left full and happy. Mission accomplished. The BaldWhiteGuy ‍ (Food Explorer Extraordinaire)I wanted to try everything. Family shocked. I don't know why. This is who I am. Went with:"Guac on the Wild Side" Sandwich ($17.50) Cajun chicken (spicy enough to wake up your ancestors), pepper jack, guac... you had me at guacamole. Now...Chicken breast was thin. Like...

BALDWHITEGUYREVIEWS: BUCKS TAVERN 3299 West State Route…read more22/3, Loveland, OH www.buckstavern.com https://www.facebook.com/BaldWhiteGuyReviews/ WE FOUND A TAVERN IN THE WOODS... IN A STRIP MALL. And honestly, I'm not mad about it. I'm always on the hunt for somewhere local, somewhere new, and somewhere that gives me an excuse to eat entirely too much food. The Cute Dimpled One somehow found Bucks Tavern on the World Wide Web. Apparently the internet isn't completely useless. We needed somewhere to grab some fuel before heading off for a Nippert at Night experience. Now here's the problem... The game didn't start until around 7:30. My bedtime is 8:30. So basically, this was going to be an extreme endurance event. THE ATMOSPHERE Bucks Tavern is tucked into a strip mall in Loveland. Parking wasn't a problem for us, although I'm guessing things could get a little more interesting during the busy times. From the outside? Meh. Then you walk inside... WAIT A MINUTE. The outside says strip mall. The inside says "somebody's uncle owns a cabin in the woods and has been collecting deer heads since 1974." Warm colors, plenty of seating, a fireplace with a deer head hanging above it, high tops, low tops, a fully stocked bar and TVs everywhere. And speaking of high tops... Who decided these tables were a good idea? You sit down and suddenly you're back in elementary school sitting at the Big Kids Table, except now your legs are dangling and you're wondering if you're going to need a step stool to get back down. I really liked the decor. It was comfortable, welcoming and had that neighborhood tavern feel. And there were plenty of people inside who clearly weren't first timers. The staff seemed to know several of the customers. That's a good sign. It had a little bit of a Cheers vibe. You know the kind of place where somebody walks in and three people yell, "HEY BOB!" That's what you want in a local tavern. Mrs. Patty L. was our server and she was fantastic. She kept my water full, which is basically the gold standard for me. #Score THE FOOD Mrs. Patti L stopped by and got us started with the Mozzaluna Breaded Cheese. Basically breaded mozzarella triangles with marinara. The cheese was creamy. The marinara was good. Plenty of food. But... $13? I'm going to need the mozzarella to start telling me its life story for that price. It wasn't bad at all. I just didn't think it was a $13 appetizer. The Mrs. ordered the 5 Mini Burgers. Her review? She likes the mini burgers. Same price range as a regular burger, but she likes having five little burgers staring back at her. And naturally, she didn't eat them all. Because apparently we ordered enough food to feed a small township. I started looking through the menu trying to find something different. Bucks has a pretty traditional tavern menu with burgers, sandwiches, Reubens, club sandwiches, brats, tenderloin, chicken, fish, salads, soups and desserts. But then I saw it... THE MEATLOAF SANDWICH. Ladies and gentlemen... WE HAVE A WINNER. MEATLOAF SANDWICH A "Signature Sandwich" they say. Homemade meatloaf, lightly grilled, on a telera bun with pork barbecue, fried onion straws and barbecue sauce. And crinkle-cut fries. When it hit the table my first thought was: "Holy crap. That's a lot of sandwich." My second thought was: "Well, I guess we're doing this." I am a BIG fan of meatloaf. My grandmother and mother both made great meatloaf, and despite years of trying, I have never managed to duplicate either one. So whenever I see meatloaf on a menu, I'm probably ordering it. This one did NOT disappoint. The bun was delicious. The meatloaf was excellent. Then you get the pork barbecue and barbecue sauce kicking in, and suddenly your taste buds are having a little meeting. It was messy. Not "grab a napkin" messy. I'm talking cut-the-sandwich-in-half, deploy-the-napkins, accept-your-fate messy. I have a big mouth. No comment necessary. It was a challenge. The crinkle-cut fries were also cooked perfectly. Crispy without being burnt. And yes... I ate the whole thing. I was absolutely stuffed. Which brings me to something I need to address with myself... I NEED TO STOP ORDERING AN APPETIZER. Every single time. I walk into a restaurant hungry and suddenly I'm like: "Yeah, we should probably get an appetizer." Then the food arrives and I'm sitting there thinking: "Who authorized this?" #SaveTheAppetizer THE GOOD STUFF Friendly service Clean restrooms Comfortable atmosphere Full-service bar Plenty of seating Lots of TVs for sports Food portions that don't leave you wondering where the rest went Local neighborhood feel Staff that actually seemed to know their regulars Bucks even advertises eight HD televisions and Sunday Ticket, so if you're looking for somewhere to watch a game, they clearly came prepared. They've also been around since 2009, s

I was about to order off the menu when the barmaid said they had 2 specials that day. I ordered the special of fetticini Alfredo with chicken. It was not very good -- some of the feticini wasn't fully cooked, the Alfredo sauce was a blob on one side of the plate, it was over garliced, and the chicken was in small cubes. Seemed like the special was intended to get rid of leftovers. To add insult to injury, the "special" cost more than virtualy anything else on the regular menu. I may go again, but I'll order off the regular menu, and definitely beware of the specials.

It was adifferent story for lunch -- I would avoid eating lunch here. They have a small bar area that they claim is full service, but with a very limited selection of beers. They supposedly had Yeungling beer on tap (my favorite) and I ordered a Tall glass of it. The beer tap ran dry, but they didn't have a spare keg of Yeungling to replace it with, so they simply put a paper cup over the handle and told me I was SOL. I was in there 4 days later and they still hadn't fixed the Yeungling. As far as lunch goes, I had a fish sandwich the first time and a BLT the next. Both were OK and edible, but nothing exceptional. It's basically a locals hangout breakfast place that offers lunch and dinner (on weekends) as a sideline. In summary, go for breakfast, but forget about lunch or dinner.
