    We had reservations but the place was still over half empty and we had to wait because they did not have enough servers to cover the half empty restaurant! We were pressed for time (that is why we had a reservation!) So we finally asked if we could eat in the bar which got us seated but the bar tenders were too busy to wait on us

    Buckhead could use a deep cleaning. We were seated in a spot where we had to go up and down stairs to get to the buffet. The railings by the stairs looked dirty and were sticky. The buffet food was good, however, I saw a server adding desserts from a Gordon Food Service bucket, so they weren't made in the restaurant. The booth seats were wet when we were seated, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention to wipe it down, and when we did, it was wiped with a presumably used wet rag that didn't dry the seat. Our server was very nice and attentive.

    Austin was an exceptional server! The portion sizes were more than sufficient. Most of what we ordered was great. The Ribs even with extra sauce was missing the mark for us. Would dine at Buckheads if back in the area.

    That was the weirdest (and bad) filet I’ve ever had. It looked more like a ground chuck steak. We ordered it medium and it came to us very well done. We asked for a new one and they took the potato with it. Then brought me a new plate about 15 minutes later. This steak was cooked properly but was still a weird filet. They told me they took the meal off the bill but they only meant the first wrongly cooked one (I didn’t even expect a discount, just a medium filet, like I ordered). So there was a charge for the sent back meal ($36.95) and then a discount of $34.95, then a new charge of $36.95 for the properly cooked steak. They said they gave they us an extra side for free, but, no… they took the first, untouched, baked potato, with the bad steak. and brought a fresh one with the properly cooked steak. So, over all, we were charged $2 for the mistake. Also, the steak was bad even when cooked properly. We also got the ribeye steak which was horrible as well. Our table also ordered the appetizer sampler, which was good. Maybe they shouldn’t serve steak? Definitely don’t order it.

    Ordered 2 burgers and both were just ok. Our server didn’t seem to be having the best day either.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time! The food was excellent and the portions were very generous. Our server was awesome. She checked in on us several times and was so professional and helpful. The view was really cool. We are definitely going back. Maybe next time try sitting outside and watch the boats go by. Highly recommend Buckheads!

    Buckhead Mountain Grill offers a good selection of excellent food at reasonable prices. Getting to sit by a window or outside with a Cincinnati skyline view is the best! Do not miss the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes and the creole sauce with it are outstanding! Our party's entrees were the salmon, chicken strips, whitefish, and chicken breast topped with cheese, bacon, and mushrooms and all were very good. We loved the sides, especially the sweet potatoes and the blue cheese coleslaw. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a night not to cook, Buckhead is an excellent choice!

    The parking is onsite and free. The restaurant is riverfront with rustic but nice ambiance. Noise level was okay but the restaurant wasn’t overly booked. The server wasn’t all that attentive and the was just okay. I got southwestern baked chicken and wife got roast beef on mashed potatoes. Mine was okay, she didn’t like hers.
