I got the Big Slaw Chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and six regular wings. The sandwich was big and thick, messy in a good way. Messy is in their slogan, so that's okay.

The six chicken wings I ordered were a very nice size, not the tiny sparrow wings He usually get from BW3. The wings were Good and flavorful, albeit just a tiny bit salty.

Not complaining and definitely an added bonus to come back. Lots of pictures showed the mozz sticks (and says homemade) but honestly, tasted like frozen sticks and the marinara tasted burnt. Again, I think of Arthur's in Hyde park when I think of homemade mozz sticks and these weren't those. But.... Let's get to main items. The $3/rib were legit. Little Smokey with the charred grill taste. Little salty, little peppery. Perfect. Bonus, their bbq sauce on the side is awesome. Definitely would come back just for the ribs and draft beer. Next, the wings. They are HUGE. Like one single is equal to 3-4 BW wings. Again...a little Smokey but solid charcoal grill taste. U can smell the charcoal grill from the wings. Bonus is the sauces. Everything comes in a 6pack of squeeze bottles. So choose your own adventure! Oh. They have a REAL dart board, pool table, golden tee and TVs covering every inch of wall save place outside area to sit. #hiddengem. Cannot wait to go back!!!

I've eaten my way through every smokehouse in Cincinnati, so when I say Midwest Best BBQ is the real deal, believe me. My arteries are practically Yelp-certified. The team of servers and cooks seems like they recruited an entire football team of young men from the University of Cincinnati; service so fast you'd think they were running a two-minute drill, attentive enough to make your mom jealous, and coordinated like they're protecting the quarterback only this time, the quarterback is your pulled-pork sandwich. Their wings, rubs, and sauces? Every single flavor profile was so good I nearly proposed to the coleslaw. And don't get me started on the G-Funk wings. They're delightful, though naming wings after a rap genre means you half expect Dr. Dre to hand you wet wipes. And let's talk about the smoking schedule. They've got a night smoker and a day smoker, which sounds less like a BBQ setup and more like a buddy-cop movie: "Day Smoker plays by the rules, Night Smoker breaks 'em, but together they deliver justice... in the form of brisket." Mark, one of the owners, literally smokes meat during a half-day shift with the love and passion of a Michelin-star chef who moonlights as Cupid. This guy makes ribs like he's serenading them. If Hallmark made a "Brisket Romance" channel, Mark would star in every single movie. I bought several pounds of meat to take home. Not "a pound." Several. Because nothing says "self-control" like hiding a bag of smoked chicken behind your kale in the fridge. Exclamation point. Period. Now, location... ...here's the kicker. They're hidden off the road over a hundred yards. That's right, it's the Area 51 of BBQ. You basically need Google Maps, a Sherpa, and divine intervention to find them. Yet, somehow, when you do, it feels like stumbling upon the Ark of the Covenant... ...only tastier, and fewer Nazis melting. Inside? Casual. TVs locked on Bengals or Reds games, so you can watch disappointment while you eat happiness. Patio? Shaded. Perfect for when you want to sweat from the hot sauce, not the sun. The sides? Top echelon. Beans, slaw, cornbread, each one a little sidekick to the main meat superhero. And for the low-carb crowd, this place is a protein paradise. Keto bros rejoice: you can bench-press your brisket guilt-free. Bottom line: Midwest Best BBQ doesn't just feed you, it baptizes you in smoke, sauce, and joy. And if you're not leaving with meat sweats, did you even go?

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.

Our recent visit to Rusty Bucket in Mason, OH, was a complete disaster. The only reason this…read morerestaurant received 2-stars is because our server did her best to salvage the experience. We dined at the Liberty Township Rusty Bucket for years, and were saddened when it closed. But, hey, it was Wednesday Indiana Tenderloin night, so we drove to Mason. We were greeted as we entered, and were quickly shown to a nice table after being given a choice of seating preferences. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and took our drink and food order. Our beverages soon arrived, and then the night went quickly into Epic Failure mode. We both ordered the Indiana Tenderloin sandwich. They looked delicious when it arrived, but they were so over salted that they were inedible. We flagged down our server and explained the problem. She looked down at our meals and commented that she could see the salt crystals in the breading, then inquired if we would like them replaced or another item. We said we would prefer tenderloin sandwiches if they were prepared correctly. She returned a few minutes later, explaining she was informed that someone new had prepared the flour and new sandwiches would be made with the same flour mixture. Here's a clue, "chef." I rather doubt that with the extensive menu and reasonable prices that each sandwich is hand breaded instead of coming prepared and ready to cook from your purveyor. And even if they are, you throw out the offending dredge instead of continuing to use it. HUGE kitchen failure. Our server assured us that our inedible meals would be comped, and again inquired if we would like something else instead. We chose hamburgers, which did not appear to have been given priority in the kitchen based on the time it took to receive them. They came out hot and delicious. As we enjoyed our replacement meals, our server checked back to ensure these were prepared correctly. She again informed us that "she" - an apparent reference to an unseen manager - had comped the tenderloin sandwiches. Throughout the fiasco, and continuing on through our entire stay, no manager appeared to check on us. Here's a clue to the manager. We never ate a meal at the Liberty Township Rusty Bucket without receiving a visit from the manager. They always stopped by to check on the food and service, and usually engaged in brief conversation asking our opinions or telling us what was coming soon. It's your responsibility to smooth over problems. Hiding when things go badly and expecting the server to do your job is irresponsible. EPIC MANAGEMENT FAILURE. The final insult of the night came when it was to pay our bill. She failed to present us with an itemized bill, simply stating that she would get "the machine" and bring it to the table. When she brought the machine so I could tap payment, it only displayed a total with preselected tip included. I never had a clue what we were charged until I asked for the receipt. It was then that I discovered we were charged for more expensive sandwiches to replace the inedible food we had been served. Nothing was comped. No apologies from anyone except our server. I know there are places closer to use that sell delicious tenderloin sandwiches.
