I was very impressed with how family friendly they were! It was one of the rare places my daughter actually cleaned her plate. The boneless wings were much better than traditional, and their hotter sauces had way more flavor than the original. As someone pretty indifferent about bleu cheese, I tried theirs because it was "life changing" and it was okay -- not too strong. Both the ranch & bleu cheese were extremely thicccccc. read more

greeted at the door with a smile on a sunday evening around 730pm, requested patio seating as it was beautiful outside and the patio had ample seating, was able to get seated within 10 minutes and drink after another 5. the server did get my sampler out rather quickly but everything i chose seemed like a frozen gfs quality, the breading on all of my picks was bland and not flavorful, the mac and cheese bites were decent at best and those were the best of the 3 picks. the wings were pretty decent as i ordered 10, 5 carolina gold and 5 jerk, they were crispy and juicy and had plenty of sauce, served in a bowl which I always appreciate! the dining area was clean and service was friendly. overall it was a good dinner read more

I always make it a point to come here when visiting home- it's my favorite family friendly wing shop in the community! They need more staff for how busy they are, but I think every business is struggling with that right now. Great prices for what you get, friendly people and always good food! read more

Omg.Talking about going here for years. Paige our server was the best. The wings were so good. The dry rub Kevin's was excellent. The onion rings were very good. My husband has a burger with Cajun fries was excellent. Drinks very hood. read more

I'd been hearing for years how great their wings were and a friend and I decide to try them out. Place was packed so expecting pretty good wings....not. Caribbean sauce was inedible. Fries were decent. Potato skins were like actual potatoes, not skins. The shrimp was decent too. Wings seemed to be boiled and medium was barely hot at all. Ranch and blue cheese were not good. I really expected more and will not be turning. Plus we sat for over 10 minutes until someone waited on us and never checked in, just brought the check. Hooters is much better than this place read more

I didn't try very exciting food during my visit here but I can safely say it's worth visiting for the vibe if you like the "hole in the wall" type atmosphere, in the best way possible. This seems like the perfect place to watch a Bengals game (during a good season). I tried the Cesar salad on my visit and it was good. The parking lot was crowded but there were still spaces and we didn't have to wait for a table. Great local place to check out. read more

If you're looking for a large slice of heaven, order the medium garlic wings (or any of a zillion other sauces!) and an order of Cajun curly fries. There are no better wings than Knuk N Futz! read more

After hearing about this place for a while and actually learning that a guy who sings in a local band is also the owner here, we decided to finally stop in for dinner. We had the pretzel bites and cheese and boneless wings with saratoga chips. The sauces are fantastic. We had the Caribbean Jerk and plain old garlik. Their blue cheese sauce is fantastic as well. Great service & reasonably priced! read more

Their wings are 10/10. Ifs a fun atmosphere for a dinner out on the weekend. Our favorite wing place.

We were randomly in the area for a baseball game and unfamiliar with food options in the area. I like to find local non chain options and was very glad we stumbled upon Knuk-N-Futz. First, my children had fun with the name and felt like they were getting away with words they should not say. Second, the service was very accommodating and quick. We surprised them with a party of 15 and they were more than accommodating to get us in as fast as they could. Third, the food was amazing. The wings were some of the best in the Cincinnati area. Knut Eggz (jalapeño poppers) were some of the best I've ever had. My Buffalo chicken samezz was awesome as well. Fourth, the value for what you get is amazing. I finally felt like I wasn't being ripped off at a restaurant. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area. read more

Food was good. Had the 10 piece schwings with the Cajun Parmesan sauce and my wife had the schwing salad with chicken parts on it. All was great. Service was good. Inside is ok. Would have given 5 stars but the AC inside needs help. I know it's summer and we were sweating inside. Probably would have bought a few more beers but couldn't take the indoor temperature anymore. Comfortable inside = more beers bought. read more

They have some great wings, fries are good, this place is really a hometown gem. If you have any doubts try to find a paring spot.

Best place for wings in NKY/Cincy hands down. Great size, cooked well with a great selection of sauces and the homemade bleu cheese is amazing. Paired with some chips and it's a good meal and a better price. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is quirky. It might be a little out of the way but definitely worth the trip. read more

I've been here twice. I barely ate the first time and don't really remember it too well, this time, I ate quite a bit. Fully honest, I did not like this food at all. I ordered: Mott Sticks Mac N cheese Bites Small Boneless wings Water The water tasted very chemically, so either their source wasn't rinsed right after cleaning or the cups, but that was pretty frustrating. The wings, I got "Kevin's heaven" and it was just genuinely a bunch of spices mixed together and it was all over the place, and was really dry. So I tried dipping in ranch and their ranch was disgusting like cheese taste. The Mac n cheese bites was literally fried Kraft Mac n cheese and that was nasty. The sauce for my friend's jalapeño poppers was terrible, the mott sticks were actually pretty good but that's because it's the same Mott sticks so many other places use it's just decent basic and standard. Genuinely a terrible FOOD experience, however my waiter was absolutely amazing. Running around refilling drinks didn't forgetting anything at all, amazing service and waiter but my actual food experience just was not good. They claim (on the wall) they have the best wings in the country, this is just not the case. read more

*EDIT* what's going on Knuks?? I've eaten knuks for three years and tonight was my worst experience. Carry out was backed almost out the door, I was cut in line because such a large crowd was inside waiting for a table so it was unclear where the line for carry out was, I was then SKIPPED by an employee checking carry out orders (I was leaning on the carry out table so no real excuse there) , then once I got home my Knuk n futz sandwhich was missing the sauce, cheese and bacon?? Come on guys. HIGHLY disappointed and won't order takeout on a game night again. Best wing spot in NKY! Wings are crispy, sauces are great. Servers are always super nice, and carry out workers are awesome (shout out to Tim!) Jalapeños are delicious with their sweet sauce, burgers are great! I've heard the ribs are to die for but I've never gotten the chance to get them as they sell out super fast it seems! The rubbed and jack fry's are my favorite I just wish they kept the sauces on the side so they didn't get so soggy on the way home OR put them in a vented container! read more

Great food and friendly service. We enjoyed the wings after hearing from our friends how great they were. They did not disappoint!

Our waitress was great but the female bartender who served us was super rude and the food was average. Probably won't go back.

The winner here was the blue cheese. The traditional wings which were Buffalo style had sat in the kitchen before I got them. They were dried out and frankly no better than a few other bars I've been to on the area. The curly fries were broken so they needed a fork to be eaten as there were very few that actually looked like a pigs tail. I wouldn't come here again if I was going for the wings. It's out of my way and nothing special. Bar service was good read more

Maybe the best traditional wings in the area (garlic Parmesan).. Service was good & plenty of game day amenities.

After a long time of hearing how good they were I decided to give them a shot. Ordered wings and fries. Cajun fries were as one would expect, No complaints these are an easy add on I would always recommend. The wings on the other hand. First things first zero crisp. They might as well have been boiled. That probably means they're cooking too many at once and the temperature drops when they put them in. Good problem they're busy, bad means the quality suffers. Smaller batches with time for the fryers to stay piping hot will fix this. Secondly, the sauce just didn't get into these wings. There was so much under them but just nothing that got into the skin to make them memorable. It was my first time so I went medium. I could have probably gone into anything above and barely felt the heat these were so bland, the BBQ was better but just nothing memorable. The Blue cheese would have been better if they poured it from a bottle. No acid, no tang from the blue. Just a sour creamy mishmash that Kraft has done better. Even if it's house made, that doesn't mean it's good. Im so let down after all the hype I had heard. The ambiance is perfect to be a place that should be a hidden gem but it just didn't deliver for me I got carryout so I can't exactly bury them in a lower rating because in person it might swing upwards a little being more fresh so I'm willing to try again. But there are better wings in NKY that deserve more attention than here. Service was awesome and they took care of me quickly and had plenty of parking. Inside looked fun and had that local feel you want when eating somewhere that's not a chain, I'm going back at some point because of everything that wasn't a chicken wing since it just has the vibe of being more than one bad meal. read more

We generally do carry out from here. Wings, burgers are very good and I love the fried pickles. Fries are usually a bit soggy by the time we get home but the air fryer takes care of that. The only reason they aren't getting five stars is their phone system. It can routinely take 30 or 40 attempts to get through - please modernize! I know weekend nights are busy but you are literally the only establishment where I've ever had this problem. read more

Great food! We ordered jalapeño bites and the dipping sauce added just the right amount of zing! Wings and Cajun curly fries were also great. Loved the homemade bleu cheese dressing as well. Missing a star because the bartender wasn't the friendliest... eye rolling & mumbling under her breath made an impact on our experience unfortunately. read more

Jun 11th 25. Out of 5. Blue Moon draft tall: 5 (hevenly!!!) Pretzel bites: 2 (Visually plesant. Though kinda soggy to a fault. Wet. The separated spicey cheese sauce. Imagine hot cheese sauce, butter, with minced garlic?*) Ceasar salad: 2 (fresh lettuce, yet toppings were boring) Black and bleu burger: 3 (An average dissected hamburger. Bleu cheese tasted better on its own.) Kajun fries: 4.5 (Soft yet crisp, good taste of potato, different, and nice portions. So addictive.) Kajun Ranch Boom (sauce for wings) 1.5 (Not a fan. I find it too thick and the spice overpowers any other flavors.) I like what they have done with the outside seating since my last visit. Will stop buy again on an nice summer day to try more things. read more

Great service and by far the best wings in NKY! The Kellz Hell dry rub is killer -- amazing flavor and unmatched heat! My wife loved the Kevinz Heaven, which I believe is the mild version with similar spices. I crave these wings constantly! read more

Absolutely delicious. The portions are huge and so affordable. We will definitely be back. Such a cool little place inside as well. Lovely server! read more

Only have been doing take out from here because I live so close! A pure guilty pleasure... the Cajun Boom Ranch Wings (boneless or bone-in) are the best Flavor of any wing in the Tri-state area... i say that as an avid chicken wing eater (and ranch lover). If you don't like ranch the Lemon Pepper is Yummy as well. Last thing, the Bleu cheese is a MUST! read more

There are tiers to dining. While emphasis is often put on fine dining, the essential function of the local tavern is overlooked in its importance to the American experience as a whole. The food at Knuk-n-Futz is exceptional in the staff's ability to present what could be considered merely bar food as something transcendent of that concept, without losing the identity of what you're eating. It is bar food. But it is bar food that is so much better than the normal fare. There is thought and intention in the selections, and again, I'm not pretending this is fine dining food prepared by a "chef," but this is food in its wheelhouse EXECUTED FLAWLESSLY, every time. There is clearly a standard that is held. I have tried literally every food item on the menu and I can't say I was ever disappointed, beyond the fact that I knew what I was ordering was not my favorite anyway. I just wanted to get a clear idea of how good everything outside their wings is, and honestly, across the board I enjoyed it all. Nothing on the menu was ever anything but it's own kind of delicious. That said, the wings are what set Knuk-n-Futz apart from other establishments. Always crispy and delicious, every sauce seems to be expertly crafted. I would absolutely put them up against any in the greater Cincinnati region. Some of the sauces, particularly the Kajun Garlic Parmesan and the Solar Flare, should be bottled and sold. Pure perfection. Knuk-n-Futz is pulsating with locals on any given night and for many seems to be, in its own way, a centerpiece of the community. There is a "Cheersian" aspect to the place. Somewhere when you walk in the door, if you've been there just a few times, everybody knows your name and the drink of your choice is in front of you within minutes of your arrival, even if you didn't ask for it. The service is exactly what the demographic demands, the anticipation of their needs, the correct assumption of their next question. While sitting in the dining room may result in simply great service, service in the bar area, when Elisha is working especially, is always entertainingly excellent. It is exactly what the diners want, including those who wait on the outskirts of the room waiting for a table on any given night. But it is especially important for those who consider this place their local watering hole, their oasis in the middle of the modern American working class desert. If I'm not mistaken, this establishment has nearly burned to the ground multiple times. Many others would have perished under these circumstances, but not Knuk 'n' Futz. The incredible food, service, communal nature, and utter necessity of this place in Taylor Mill will keep it alive for years and years to come. read more

Best blue cheese dip for the garlic parm wings.... Yum... amazing wings. Service is quick

Perhaps I've become jaded by a nationally named "Buffalo" wing place...so expectations were average...but DANG! The service, the food and the experience have opened my eyes as to how a wing joint/hole in the wall/bar should be. Service The server was at our table within 30 seconds of our sitting down. She brought the drinks right back and I had ordered some pretzels & beer cheese dip. She was gone maybe 3 minutes and the appetizer arrived and she took our order. She was pleasant and helped navigate the menu. My salad showed up in minutes. And our meal? Arrived in less than 5 minutes. The speed was incredible! From seated to finished eating it was less than 25 min...like what?! That's unheard of! And everyone helped everyone...for Refills, bussing the tables and more. Food/flavor Amazing! We loved being able choose the heat along w the flavor. The beer cheese was great. While the salad was average, it's a perfect side. Now the chicken...we both had boneless-but the chicken was so tender and flavorful..again..hello! Atmosphere We love dive bars...but this was clean with a bunch of knickknacks around the room making it feel chill. I just wish we didn't live so far away, as this would be a frequent occurrence. Kudos to the management and the staff for their hard work to ensure a great experience. read more

The services was some of the best I have had, the vibe of the pace was great. Now 4 of us got buffalo wings and the were just not that great. The sauce wasn't good and I was disappointed but that could be from the hype. Now my son got bbq wings and loved them said they were great. Definitely worth another try sometime. read more

Great chicken wings, appetizers, and ribs! It's been a while since my last visit here due to not having a pleasant last experience with some dried out wings, however, tonight was much improved! The wings were juicy and cooked just right. We just ordered a bunch of appetizers this go round because we weren't really hungry; it all hit the spot. I recommend the fries pickles, which are giant few fried pickle spears instead of the typical chip style. You can't go wrong with the wings and they have a large selection of sauces. The only reason for the 4* instead of 5* is the place was not really clean, outdated tables/chairs, I'm not a fan of all the tacky items hanging on the wall collecting dust over my food, and there is no windows in the place so it's like eating in a cave. Maybe eating on the new patio next time will fix almost this!? Regardless, it's still a 4* for the food and the services. Shout out to Amber for providing an excellent meal experience! Look forward to coming back and sampling all the sauces for the wings. read more

Used to be my favorite wing spot. Hadn't been in a while so decided to stop in last week. Wings were terrible soggy and the sauce just didn't taste right. Service was extremely slow. And it was very loud. Kinda reminded me of a dive bar. I'll give it another try in a month or so and if nothing changed I doubt I'll ever go back. read more

I'll admit I was wary about this place based on my brothers description that "it looks like a gas station on the outside" and from the drive there but once I walked in I was pleasantly surprised! This place is giving off the vibes of one of those cheesy beach dives that you have to hit up every year on vacation since the food always rocks and the locals are there. We had the fried pickles (spears are the best fried pickle varietal), potato wedges (much better than the bdubby bison ones), and bone in wings with the mango z tango and the BBQ Stripe Garlik. Not typically a bone in wing girl but these were just the right amount of crispy, well cooked, and both sauces were bomb. Good line up of cheap beers, local and not so that anyone can find one they'd like to drink. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Great wings. Great atmosphere. Great service. One of my favorite wings spots in Cincinnati.

"Best Wings in NKY" board at the restaurant really was right! The wings size are incredible and the cost is flat and priced great - in a world where you don't see a price or Market Rate it's refreshing to have high quality wings at a great price. The sauce varieties are great and the waitress was glad to let me try a hotter sauce. I recommend getting the tall size beer, as the mug has a handle, but all the classes are very chilled. It feels like a sports bar but the family is all welcome. Menu design is cool and fun! There is outdoor seating as well. I really recommend the wings to anyone in the NKY/Cincinnati area! Will definitely get Wingz here more read more

My friends and I went there this afternoon and this was not the first time for any of us. I have never encountered such a rude server. While the restaurant was not crowded at all, she tried to rush us to order. Several in the party have dietary restrictions so it took a minute to work through the menu. When the food arrived, it looked fine but that's where it ended. I order a schwingz wrap and after two bites, I encountered some very chewy chicken. I stopped eating - it was not good. The spiral fries had an old oil smell and tasted like nothing. My plate was in front of me untouched and not once did the server ask if anything was wrong. It was until she went to clear the table she asked if I needed a box and I told her it was not good - chewy chicken. Her reply was sorry bout that but there was no offer to remake it or get something else. Very disappointing. I will say due to her rudeness and lack of interest she received no tip. I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Wings are great and you can't go wrong with the Cajun fries. We like to get the Schwing sampler for some variety.
