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?

Erik Rowley

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 .

Rashad Cain

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.

Tristan

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

Michael Tchou

Fantastic views of the river from indoor or outdoor seating , located right along a multiuse trail . I preferred the smoked ribs on the menu.

Michael Green

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.

Amy Hamilton

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 )

Andrew Hall

Great ribs , great sauce, and a great beer selection ! What more do you need!

Ghostly International

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 .

Awesome bbq ribs and sauce. Always the best.

The combination Ribs and Chicken ,the view watching boats and barges.

Mich

Ribs are amazing, most notably their bbq sauce

Brad Stephens

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.

James McCauley

Be sure to sign up for their email so that you know when they offer all you can eat ribs for only $22!

Tristan

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!

Ann Derner Mackay

Ribs , great. Favorite though is the plum sauce with the shrimp . Childhood favorite that holds up.

Steve Thompson

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

Jason Sanders

The slow cooked brisket was good

Ben S

Tragic service but the ribs are sooooo good, I can forgive.

Emilio C

One of the staples of Cinci.

John Keating

The best ribs in the Midwest.

Josh Whelchel

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).

Chris Thompson

It's not on the menu , but try a side of coleslaw . A hint of horseradish makes it just a tad spicy . Delicious!

Mich
