Janet SchneiderJuly 6, 2015The 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 RowleyOctober 1, 2016Fine 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 CainFebruary 12, 2015Amazing!! 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
💎TAugust 19, 2014Huge portions! I got ribs with mac and cheese as a side. I was stuffed with goodness! The ribs just fell right off the bone.
TristanAugust 17, 2011besides 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 TchouJune 7, 2018Fantastic views of the river from indoor or outdoor seating, located right along a multiuse trail. I preferred the smoked ribs on the menu.
jiresellOctober 10, 2015Great view of the river and the ribs are the best! Great for entertaining client and large groups!- Great ribs, great sauce, and a great beer selection! What more do you need!
Michael GreenMay 22, 2016When 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.
Ghostly InternationalJuly 1, 2011BBQ 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.
Amy HamiltonNovember 28, 2010A 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)
Chris PolloneAugust 8, 2015Good views of the river and decent food. Ribs and chicken combo hit the spot.- Melania SpagnoliAugust 10, 2014Really nice restaurant with a beautiful view on the river. Great choice of meat!
Call ahead to get a table out on the patio area. Enjoying the view with your meal is nice.
Brad StephensSeptember 2, 2011Easy 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.
Darlene VerkampSeptember 19, 2014The combination Ribs and Chicken,the view watching boats and barges.
James McCauleyAugust 17, 2011Be sure to sign up for their email so that you know when they offer all you can eat ribs for only $22!
Steve ThompsonMay 27, 2016Awful... 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
- TristanAugust 20, 2010If 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!
Josh WhelchelSeptember 14, 2011Disastrously overrated - but good for the view I guess. Always fun with friends but you'll find better food elsewhere (try City BBQ, for instance).
Julie NiesenJuly 3, 2010Ribs, great. Favorite though is the plum sauce with the shrimp. Childhood favorite that holds up.
Pat is by far the best Bartender! Which is saying a lot because they are all fantastic!
Charles TabangcoraAugust 3, 2010Definitely do the ribs! Dry rub then doused before serve. Good stuff!
Chris ThompsonJune 18, 2010It's not on the menu, but try a side of coleslaw. A hint of horseradish makes it just a tad spicy. Delicious!
