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

The portions are now TINY, the food is bland and doesn't resemble anything we've had in the past! We got thrown into a corner with no view of the TV but the kitchen staff/manager would come out directly next to our table to yell at the games. Servers wanna rush you to order so they can sit at the front. They also sit behind the drinking rack and listen to your convo. Used to be a great place but for 2 adults, no drinks, no apps and no dessert $52 before tip is stupid! See the pics? The broccoli had so much water, I think it was microwaved frozen. Dunno what the dry corn and beans mess was, except inedible. The "honey balsamic" tasted like brown potato gravy with added vinegar. I literally could not cut the hush puppies with my pocket knife.

Both the wings and fries were so salty and over-seasoned that it was hard to eat. Nonetheless I was unable to eat what I ordered. Service was fair. Restaurant did not offer napkins but had a roll of paper towels on the main counter for use takeout or dine in use. If you plan on dining in space is limited about 10-12 guests. I'd caution anyone choosing to eat here to stress when ordering to lay off the salt and seasoning. Not sure I'd try again.

Now, we always get the Buffalo chicken dip. Sometimes, that's all we get because, well...it's the best around. The seasoning on the chips is just too notch. The kids cheeseburger is a decent size and comes with a solid portion of fries. Almost too much, my 12 year old couldn't finish it. Now on to my mushroom n' swiss. This is my favorite burger option at any burger spot. This one left little to be desired. Absolutely no sear was had on this thing. It also had zero flavor. I had to add a TON of salt. Now I will say this my LAST bite I must have had a full peppercorn in it because I sure got a solid bite of flavor then. I didn't realize when ordering that the burger came pretty much plain. I wasn't offered tomato, onion or lettuce and I would have really liked to have had a big slice of onion on it. Also wasn't offered mayo but our server did grab me a pack. This place is a staple in the community here. I'll be back, I've had better from this spot and was disappointed this round but I know they will redeem themselves next time.

So, seeing the building completely renovated and brought back to life was honestly amazing! We came during a fairly busy time of day, and the place was packed. Even so, we only waited about 15 minutes to be seated, which I thought was pretty great for a busy restaurant. I also really liked that they kept the industrial aesthetic throughout the space, it gave the restaurant a lot of character and made the renovation feel intentional. I also noticed that each of the tables had information about their social cornhole league, which I thought was a super fun touch! As for the food it was pretty standard in my opinion. I think if you order the pizza definitely split it as it is quite big, but the fried pickles were delicious! Overall I probably would come again.

If you are in Maineville/Kings Mills area -- or just like in breweries in interesting locations, check it out! We were seated after a short wait by the brewmaster, who also helped us select our beer. Amber ale for me and an IPA for husband. Our server was friendly and prompt, and the food came out quickly. It was pretty busy, being trivia night, but the staff seemed to have a handle on things! We ordered the Brussels and potato appetizer and it was great. It was large and honestly could almost have been dinner for us -- certainly could easily be shared by 4! We cleared the plate on our own though. I had the salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. Very good, though I was so full from the appetizer so I just ate the salmon from the sandwich, and maybe 1/4 of the fries. Hubs got the burger with an egg on top either regular fries. He was happy with his choice. The brewery itself is very cool -- old brick factory, large wall-to-wall windows, super tall ceilings. We sat at a high top in the bar area which is quite large, though there is dining area. I think the bar area is more interesting looking though. The factory building (now loft apartments), the smoke stack, and the tower, all red brick, are striking looking. It's great the preserved this WWI / WWII era place. Lots of parking but was pretty full on Trivia night!
