Decent selection of beers on tap, including a house ale. Order your food and drinks at the bar and they bring it to your table. We shared the nachos, which were good. Excellent prices and a fun place to go. Will definitely be back. read more

A small version of the small SW Iowa burger chain on the main square in Red Oak. I've eaten here twice since moving into a neighboring town a couple of months ago. Prices are pretty good for gourmet burgers. Bith times, I ordered the Grunt Snort Wheeze (awesome name) with fries, and both times I got it to go. I believe a good burger consists of 3 things: a good patty, soft tasty bread that does not fall apart, and well done toppings. Patty: Well cooked, well spiced, no gristle, in proportion with the burger (right size), and tastes great. Bun: Soft but doesn't fall apart with this messy burger. Toppings: Toppings were plentiful and good quality. For this burger, the egg and BBQ were good outside of the burger, much less on it. Fried jalapeños are nice and crispy. I really like the burgers here. My favorite burger in the area remains Crescent Moon's burgers, but that restaurant is a 50 min drive from Red Oak. Bulk Snort is a very worthy place to stop. read more

Tried Buck Snort while visiting Iowa. and was wowed by how good the food was. We were a group of 7 and everyone loved their meal. Hope to visit again before we leave. Pork cutlet sandwich was super good as were the steak sandwiches and hamburgers. read more

Great food and service! When we visited it was order and pay at the bar. Seat yourself, self serve fountain drinks, and they bring the food etc. to your table. We'll be return customers when we are in the Red Oak area, but the swamp donkey is going to be hard to beat. read more

The Buck Snort - White tail nachos - American Near Me - Red Oak, Iowa

Great service. The food was delicious and love the entre' names. Will definitely come back.

It wasn't bad but not worth the 30$. It took them damn near 30 minutes to bring out 2 patty melts, and they were greasy and cheap. Would've expected it to cost the same for the turkey melt as it would for one with beef but the beef was cheaper. Honestly not hating but wouldn't recommend it due to the price and slow service. read more

Corn nuggets very salty. Taco salad looked like it was run over by a 18 wheeler but good. San Francisco melt was inedible. I thought a hoagie bun would help... no. Side salad was good. No vinaigrette here and no soup. read more

A fun nice lil small town restaurant. Good food. Worth trying. Would recommend the pork tenderloin.

First time here and we were craving tenderloins. You walk in and order at the counter. The "waitress" was less than helpful when we mentioned it was our first time here... kinda prompting her to give a suggestion... nope. We ordered tenderloins, side of fries or tots and app of fried pickels. Everything was over salted. Tenderloin came with no toppings (lettuce, onion, pickle) nothing. Just the loin and bun. read more

Walked into this place around 5 on a sat afternoon. Food list is hung on the wall with custom sandwich names for most of the food and prices. Which is fun but hard to decipher as a first timer. We told the young lady at the register that it was our first time. She said "O?" And looked at us blankly waiting for us to order. Confused we asked for menus so we could actually pick something. Feeing pressured with other patrons coming in behind us we both ordered tenderloins and a side of pickle chips. When we received our food it was lava level temp (which is better than cold!). Food would have been above average but it was so salty we could barely eat it. I'm not sure if it was a frying grease issue or an oversight. It was pretty bad, and I like salty fries. Pickle chips tenderloins, fries. All overly salted. I hope to stop in another time and try some BBQ. read more

Good food, friendly service! One of the few places in Red Oak to get a great burger! Very clean .

Great menu and friendly service. Food was great. I have been to both of their locations. Worth the trip

This place has so many options to choose from. I'll need to come back several times just to make sure everything else is as good as my first choice. read more

Cool atmosphere on the square. Great food, that was quick and delicious. Courteous waitstaff. Will be back when in town! read more

Great stop! Food and service are both fantastic! I had the pork rib tips...yummy. My husband had the grunt, snort, wheeze...spicy! Cold beer and good food. Stop by when you're near. read more

Comfortable atmosphere and decor. Right on the square of a cute little town. I came for a burger but ordered the pulled pork sandwich. Obviously freshly pulled and moist. A little too salty but still good. The fries were nice and hot. Luckily the only bbq sauce they had was sweet, which I like. They offer beer, soda and iced tea. Prices are reasonable. I will have to come back to try a burger. read more

Really good food and good portions. Nice environment and the prices are very reasonable. It's worth the trip to down town. read more

We love eating here! My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich, but they were out of that when we went this last time, so I got the grilled chicken wrap which was just as good! Of course their fries are some of the best in town! The restaurant was clean, but the music was a little too loud (and I'm sorry, but not everyone likes country music). This time, it seemed to take a bit longer to get our food than normal, but I just chalked it up to coming in before "normal" time (there was only two other people in there at 6). Overall a great place to get a quick, delicious bite. read more

Somebody needs to start reviewing this place. I'm not sure southwest Iowa is really into Yelp yet. This is a solid place to get sandwiches, soups, BBQ, pizza and a beer or wine to go with it. We had pork tenderloins and they offer it breaded/fried,or grilled. Nice touch. Everything was good, nice atmosphere, and this town sorely needs this type of place. Nice people working there too, but of course that's typical in Iowa. Go there, support it. read more

Stopped here on a business trip and enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich so much we came back another time during the same trip for the rib tips and they were great too. Great food and decor. read more

I love this store and I know it like the back of my hand as I worked there for years while in high school and college. I am extremely passionate about this restaurant but ever since my favorite cook left my food has come out either wrong or just doesn't taste the same. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the current cooks and nobody will ever be better than Danny. What a major loss to the restaurant. read more

I've been to the Buck Snort a few times now. Every time was good but this last time I went there on Saturday August 25th, I was somewhat disappointed. First of all, there was only 1 kind of bbq sauce. Then they didn't have any coleslaw but failed to say anything until my meal was served with potato salad. I had the pulled pork and some of it was stringy, tough and very salty. They ran out of Pepsi. I'm sure we will go back but not for awhile now. read more
