The ribs are to die for. You have to try them at least once. They have a lot of interesting sports memorabilia . Where else can you go for ribs & see the piece of Holyfield's ear that Tyson bit off?
Fine dining with a beautiful view of the river . Go with the original ribs with Saratoga chips and mac n cheese . Duck is a house favorite here as well .
Amazing!! The ribs truly take the cake ! The chicken is also a popular choice and the shrimp with the plum sauce and Asian mustard is delicious! Can't go wrong here
Huge portions ! I got ribs with mac and cheese as a side. I was stuffed with goodness! The ribs just fell right off the bone.
besides having the best ribs you will ever have in your lifetime, this spot has awesome views of the water. Make sure to sit outside (upstairs). At night, its an amazing sight
Fantastic views of the river from indoor or outdoor seating , located right along a multiuse trail . I preferred the smoked ribs on the menu.
When the hostess ask you if your party is all there, say yes. Then you go into 30 minute wait even with reservation . If you say no, then when party is there they then put you on the wait list.
A vegetarian plate is available. It's not on the menu , but it's pretty good. It's pasta and veggies w/ maranara sauce. (sometimes vegetarians have to come here for work or family events )
Great ribs , great sauce, and a great beer selection ! What more do you need!
BBQ bliss. Not only is the food exceptional but so is the view as you sit right on the bank of the Ohio River . Get the onion fries with BBQ sauce .
Great view of the river and the ribs are the best! Great for entertaining client and large groups!
Really nice restaurant with a beautiful view on the river . Great choice of meat!
Good views of the river and decent food. Ribs and chicken combo hit the spot.
I ordered the ribs and was not disappointed. The Mac and cheese was great!
Great BBQ food with a wonderful view of the river !
Call ahead to get a table out on the patio area . Enjoying the view with your meal is nice.
Awesome bbq ribs and sauce. Always the best.
The combination Ribs and Chicken ,the view watching boats and barges.
Ribs are amazing, most notably their bbq sauce
Easy to get seated at the bar upstairs, but service is below-average. Really have to be pro-active and aggressive to get your waiter/waitress' attention. Limited menu, but plenty of sandwich options.
Be sure to sign up for their email so that you know when they offer all you can eat ribs for only $22!
If you do not order the ribs , please show this to the person sitting across from you so he/she can smack you in the face. So good!
Must visit when it's all you can eat ribs and saratoga chips !
Best Ribs i have evet had!
Can't go wrong with ribs & saratoga chips ! mmmm
Ribs , great. Favorite though is the plum sauce with the shrimp . Childhood favorite that holds up.
Awful... Got the ribs and chicken combo with Mac n cheese . Chicken was dry and the noodles in the Mac n cheese were over cooked it was like eating mush. Great view good sauce bad food and way over $d
The slow cooked brisket was good
Tragic service but the ribs are sooooo good, I can forgive.
One of the staples of Cinci.
The best ribs in the Midwest.
Disastrously overrated - but good for the view I guess. Always fun with friends but you'll find better food elsewhere (try City BBQ , for instance).
It's not on the menu , but try a side of coleslaw . A hint of horseradish makes it just a tad spicy . Delicious!
Must order ribs !!!
Make a reservation , come early and get into the Bob Hope room...amazing!
Ask for Travis for your server !
Chicken was great
Ribs are awesome .
Pat is by far the best Bartender ! Which is saying a lot because they are all fantastic!
Mel Fischer salad is awesome but the ribs are always a winner!
Great ribs
Big Teds platter...............now thats the deal!!!!!
Order the ribs
Ribs and nothing but ribs .
Best Mac & Cheese ever!
Definitely do the ribs ! Dry rub then doused before serve. Good stuff!
A Cincinnati landmark - everyone has to go here at least once.
Best Ribs in the world!!!
The fries are amazing. GET THEM!
U will never have better ribs .
Pulled pork with slaw and sides of mac & cheese with jalapeño grits! - Sayer Crompton
Burnt bellies were amazing. The brisket was also very good. Good choice of sauce but the meat doesn’t need any help - Tonya Stanley
Amazing open air ball park, close to the river so the view is pretty great too - Kevin Vincent
Bayerischer Schweinsbraten (pork roast) was delicious. The Windbeutel (Bavarian Cream Puff) was dreamy good, so save a little room for dessert! - Melissa
