The menu was nice and diverse, something for everyone. Two of use got the Thursday special, meatloaf and the other two, fried chicken. The meatloaf was spot on good. I ordered mashed potatoes/gravy, and cabbage/green as sides. The potatoes were good but the gravy could have been seasoned a bit more, but still good. The cabbage and greens were very tasty with a good smokiness from bacon. A little bit of acidity would have put this over the top, and again, still very good. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice coating, not greasy at all. The staff were great and the restaurant itself was simple but nice and clean. Prices were fair. I highly recommend stopping at this humble little restaurant for some good home cooking.

First let me say my best friend and I just found this place on 100% luck. We went for a dive and…read morewas getting hungry and sadly every place we found was either closed or across the river in Kentucky. We literally stopped at a pizza place just around the corner but it looked like either take out or limited seating. I googled yep I didn't use yelp sorry but everything I had found so far was closed. Well this was around the corner and right on the river. We pulled up and I thought it was closed as well, but I did see it was opened. We walked in and was shocked at it being very small town feel, well duh did you look at Ripley it is a small town. We sat down and ordered and I was super shocked at how good the food was and the service was good. Just before with left the waitress mentioned how good their burgers are and that they are hand made Pattie's. I can't wait to come back and try a burger and this is almost 2 hours from my house, but in my option so worth it. Fresh homemade bread, appetizers were house made as well as the dessert. So good and I will be back. The drive and the view was also worth it. Fun drive and great view.

We even had some birds hang out with us which was delightful! We started out with wings which I think were cooked very well. Very moist , nice ratio of meat on the bones not dry at all. We like the Honey bee stink flavor the best- quite a unique but delicious flavor and not very spicy at all. I had the Cheech which had a very lovely tomato jam and was very juicy- yum! My daughter got the Steakhouse and said that she really liked the flavors. My son got the club but unfortunately wasn't satisfied with the meat and cheese ratio - he thought it was laid on too thick. So he stuck with his BBQ wings which he had no complaints about! Our server brought us a tray of desserts to choose from which was a great idea since they all looked so good. I settled on the Raspberry Cheesecake cake which I truly enjoyed as my sweet treat. And my daughter opted for the traditional cheesecake which also tasted great! A very nice spot which I would recommend!

I recently got to try Buck's through a catered lunch at work, and I was pleasantly surprised…read more The food was delivered hot and made the meeting room smell delicious. I got a tray with a pulled pork sandwich, cowboy beans, and coleslaw. The pork was very flavorful with just enough smoke for my tastes, and it went well with the barbecue sauce it came with. I was also impressed with the cowboy beans. Typically, I do not care for beans cooked with beef, but these had a good balance between the two. It also had different varieties of beans that I appreciated. It was savory and filled me up. Lastly, the coleslaw was also good but nothing to write home about. My lunch left me satisfied without being stuffed, which is often an issue I have with barbecue. The only complaint I could see with this meal is portion sizes. While it was a comfortable serving size for myself, I could see others finding the amount of meat given too little for their money and stomachs. Even with the sides, I considered this meal to be lighter than most barbecue I have had. After this experience, I cannot wait for a chance to have a meal at the actual restaurant.

My mother's ribs were delish. She raved about the slaw and the greens. We intend to support this excellent mom and pop establishment.

One person was working alone when my husband I got in. After about 7-10 minutes she's working on our order and another order at the same time (the family got there AFTER us, fumbling around. More customers came. Then the other 3 workers came in and when they started to pitch in, no one knew what they were doing. The original girl rested our order receipt inside the wrap which took 2 people forever to wrap (when it was time to wrap the wrap, she finally moved the receipt). I ordered a Hot Honey Chicken wrap and there was no hot honey whatsoever. I was so hungry and we we were running late so, I just ate it . The wraps were barely wrapped, fries were cold when we got them.... it took 20 minutes for us to get our order and the other family that got in after us got their food before us.

Today I found a place "where diets come to die a delicious death." It's called Country Crust Bakery…read morein Bainbridge, Ohio, and what a find it was! We were out exploring the area when we stumbled across this charming little bakery run by a group of Amish girls. The moment you walk through the door, your senses go into overdrive. The smell of freshly baked pies, cookies, breads, and pastries fills the air, and I swear I started drooling before I even reached the display case. As I quickly learned, "walking in here with self-control is like bringing a snowball to Florida." It simply doesn't exist! Mine certainly didn't. I ended up leaving with two peach fry pies, a loaf of cheddar jalapeño bread, and a glazed donut. My wife chose one of their giant fresh-baked pretzels with cream cheese. It was served warm and was absolutely delicious. Then I dug into the glazed donut, and wow--light, fluffy, and it practically melted in my mouth. This was our first visit, but there's no doubt we'll be back. In fact, I can easily see us becoming regulars. A quick heads-up: they accept cash or checks, but no credit cards, so plan accordingly. Country Crust also has a cute little café area where they serve pizzas and sandwiches. From what I saw, those sandwiches were absolutely ginormous. I didn't order one this time, but trust me, the brisket on a pretzel bun and the Reuben both have my name written all over them for a future visit. If you're anywhere near Bainbridge and have a sweet tooth--or just appreciate great homemade baked goods--do yourself a favor and make the drive. Your taste buds will thank you, even if your diet won't. "Worth every calorie and every mile driven."
