Location, location, location! This large handsome restaurant has serves up good food and service, but the view across the Ohio river of Louisville's gorgeous downtown skyline is priceless!

Just the saltiest chips I have ever tasted. The food is just mediocre. The service is fine but there was nobody in the place at 7:30pm on a Tuesday.
It is hard to see the tv's as they must be on auto-brightness control. All were very dim. -

Lets start with the good:
View
Service
Food
Rolls
Location
And the bad:
My stomach isn't very large
I want a BHMG in Saint Louis.
Hmm I guess that says it all.
Well maybe not, so I have never eaten here before but after searching Yelp for a good place to eat while on Vaca we stumbled on this place across the river from Louisville.
It is in a great area and was easy to find.
It was an awesome day so we sat on the patio with a few others. The tables were nicely shaded and our waiter was awesome.
We got the boneless wings in teriyaki sauce, they were fabulous.
I ordered the Original patty melt and my wife got the bacon double Burger. Both of us got the chips.
My patty melt was great, and I wish I had room for two cause I would have eaten them both.
My wife loved her burger and ate the whole thing also.
I think we took the left over chips back to the hotel and ate them later for a snack.
I was really impressed with the food and service at this place. -

My husband and I had a great meal here. Beautiful location, ate on the deck at sunset looking over the river.
Food was delish. Fried green tomatoes were amazing. I had the grilled whitefish, fabulous. My husband had a steak which he enjoyed but wasn't life-changing.
Our waiter was hilarious, basically think Andy from Parks and Rec. We had to wait for a table even though tables were empty, I guess they had 2 wedding receptions at the same time and they were trying to let the kitchen catch up.
A highlight of our trip. -

Was traveling in the area and found this place from the Yelp reviews. Wow I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The bread and cinnamon apple butter was really tasty and the starter salad was also very good. I ordered the ribs which were good, but a little colder than I would of liked.
Overall the food was pretty good and very reasonable. I would agree with the other yelpers that it's like a fancier version of Chilli's but with a great view and much better food. -

This is the third good restaurant I experienced during my recent work trip to the Jeffersonville, IN area. This restaurant isn't anything over the top or "special" - they serve good food and have good service. I would classify them as a higher-end version of Applebee's or Chili's.
The best part of the meal was the bread. It was soft, fresh, and beyond tasty. It was accompanied with a cinnamon apple butter that made the bread irresistible. Our bread was replenished multiple times by our waiter and I wish I had stolen more of it and the butter to take back to my hotel room for later.
My entree was a sirloin steak (cooked with the amazing cinnamon apple butter) with a side salad and green beans. I asked for my sirloin to be cooked medium and it came out perfectly - it was a good piece of meat. Side salad with fat-free ranch dressing was served cold with the dressing on the side - I was very impressed with the salad. The green beans were green beans - enough said. I highly recommend this sirloin steak entree due to the cinnamon apple butter coating (your palate will be satisfied).
The service was good and the price was right. Our food was served to us in a timely manner, drinks were refilled promptly, and there were no check issues (4 of us, 4 separated checks by request). I couldn't ask for anything more.
I gave this restaurant 5-stars because it does everything it is suppose to do without any glaring issues. It's not high-end, but it did everything I expected without costing me an arm and a leg. Frequent this establishment if you want a pleasant dinner out with friends and/or family that does not disappoint with it's standard American fare and causal ambiance.Listed in: NPC Food

The only reason this review gets a 3.5 star is purely for the view. Seriously, the food - it's alright. But the scenic riverfront view looking back at the downtown Louisville - that's pretty awesome. Esp if you get a booth seat like we did or out in the deck.
The scene reminds me of a combination of family restaurant mixed with sports bar. There are flat screen TVs in all corners of the restaurant - any games you can be thinking of, you can be sure to find it on one of these TVs. At one point, I actually switch seats w/ my BF just so I won't be distracted by the game. Friendly hostess sat us right away and we were greeted by our waitress. Typical southern menu with many fried items - I opt for the Chicken Fried Chicken and the BF got Mushroom Jack Chicken. After we order, we got our fresh-baked bread - which was quite delish. Warm and soft, perfect start to my meal.
Each entree comes with 2 sides to choose from - my Chicken Fried Chicken was heavily coated in batter for my taste - but it was juicy and tender esp with the pepper gravy. I chose green beans and mac & cheese - both were non-memorable. The BF's Mushroom Jack Chicken was to his liking - tons of sautéed portabella &button mushrooms top w/ melted Monterey Jack cheese. He enjoyed his green beans and baked apples.
We ended the night with their peach cobbler w/ vanilla ice cream - this was the epic fail moment. I've never had such a disappointing cobbler...it was overly sweet and the peaches tasted like they were from a can. So sad...I almost wanted to ask for a refund for this. If it weren't for this dessert - I would have given it a 4star.
So to sum: go for the view, mediocre food and absolutely DO NOT get their desserts. :P Save your money and go to Graeter's Ice Cream instead...if you want some REAL dessert. That's all folks! -

Not really anything to complain about... and not really anything to compliment. Nothing was great, and a few things were bad (lima beans, chicken tenders). The cinnamon bread was good. Overall this place has nothing going for it other than the view, which is about as good of a view as you can get in the Louisville area. The service was nice and friendly, can't complain there - if only they were serving something worth paying money for.

Buckhead Mtn Grill was a great Yelp suggestion. After a long business day I wanted to have a casual dinner, couple of cold beers and chill out watching sports and let's see Buckhead has:
TVs everywhere, all on sports
A ginormous beer selection, draft and bottle
Attentive Service
Great food
I sat at the bar and ordered a Steak and Blue salad and it was fine... Good portion steak cooked medium as ordered. Bartenders were pretty busy but very helpful regarding menu questions and beer selection. Fellow diners surrounding me had no issues and their food looked pretty darn appetizing as well. Their menu is pretty broad everything from fried tomatoes, steak, chicken, and fish.... The beer selection is amazing and I will definitely take a pint tour next time I'm in town.....
If you are in the area or staying at one of the hotels by the river I would definitely recommend the Buckhead Mtn Grill. -

The view is really the only reason to come here.
I should know better than to order seafood inland. My pasta with salmon was edible, but nothing to rave about. -

GO FOR THE VIEW!!!
Was passing through town on a roadtrip and came across this place.. What a gem! We chose this place for the view - hands down beautiful! You are literally seated right on the river bank overlooking the bridges.
It was probably around 95 degrees at lunchtime when we stopped. There was nobody sitting outside on the deck, but we really wanted to. Nobody gave us dirty looks or rolled their eyes or anything at our request to be seated outside (which I half expected).
We got a friendly waiter who was very attentive, even though by our sitting outside we were forcing him to work in the heat. He was friendly (not fake), attentive, and gave good suggestions when we asked. He kept our water glasses full to keep us cool in the heat.
My son and I split the chicken fingers - which were probably the best chicken fingers I've ever had! They were delicious. They gave us a suped-up baked potato which was seasoned to perfection. And we had the baked apples - all I can say is - OMG!! Yummmm yumm yum!
Oh yes, and how could I forget the rolls?! They give you these amazing warm rolls when you are seated, with this cinnamon butter and it is to die for!
Prices were reasonable for what you get.
Overall - I LOVED this place and if it wasn't so far away I'd be here all the time. Definitley a must go! -

3 stars for the view and the draft beer selection. Dogfish Head, Rogue, lots of local stuff like BBC and NABC, and the typical stuff like Bud Light.
Service was slow and rude. When I asked for a drink menu the waitress snapped, "You need to get out your ID now cause you look about 15!" Yeah I look young for my age but I hadn't even ordered the beer yet! Food tasted ok but definitely not worth the price. All the restaurants in that area probably stay in business(and jack up the prices) because of the nearby hotels. -

I LOVED this place. The food was awesome, the view is amazing and the service is great!
I had the bourbon butter steak and some sort of micro-brewed beer and I was beyond full. The rolls rock my socks off!
I wish I could eat here at least one or twice a week. -

The view is definitely what sells this place. And the cinnamon butter served with the hot rolls, which are themselves fantastic. I've eaten here many time and cannot say that I was really ever impressed with the food. We ordered chips and queso for an appetizer, and the queso was very thin and not really great. My stepfather made a complaint about it, and it was nice that they gave us the order for free. My buffalo chicken salad was not bad, but I didn't really care for the non-nutricious lettuce and load of cheese.
This is one of those places where it tends to be someone else's choice, not usually my own. That view though is why I really go back time and time again. -

How has no one mentioned the fried green tomatoes? Traditionalists might scoff at the panko breadcrumbs, but they are a remarkable improvement over your basic cornmeal. I've been known to drive to Southern Indiana just for the tomatoes.
Admittedly, most of the menu is 3-star caliber fare. Not that it isn't good, it just isn't anything particularly special.
But seriously, try the fried green tomatoes. They are 5-star worthy. As is the view and the beer list. So we'll average that out to 4 stars. -
Review from Mark D.
Buckhead Mountain Gill has a Passport beer tour where you can try different beers. If you complete a tour you will receive gift or tribute. I am working on the Draft Tour. The gift is a hooded sweatshirt. Last week I tried a local brew. This was the Kentucky Ale. My first though was why the glass is so small. After tasting the beer I realized why. Kentucky Ale is aged in bourbon barrels. I really liked this beer. The Buckhead Mountain Gill is very cool!! They have large monitors scattered around the bar which was showing the hockey. The food seems to be very good. I tried the wrap and it was very good. However with more than 80 beers on the menu I will be back. Buckhead Mountain Gill also has excellent views of downtown Louisville.

This is a very nice place...obviously by the name it is a meat and potatoes type restaurant not seafood...for gods sake this is Kentucky not Boston.
The chicken pot pie and outside bar are to die for at this place...and if anyone desires to attend the 'Thunder over Louisville' (kickoff for the Kentucky derby) this is the best place to view the second largest fireworks display in the USA. The airshow is also quite good.
Within a short walk there are two other restaurants Italian and a seafood place that are equally nice, if anyone reading this can tell me the names please reply. (and I don't mean Hooters guys) although they have a nice one right by. -

it's disappointing when you say, 'hey, I'll go ahead and have a steak, it's been months!' but the steak is sub par. great beer selection, service, and the fried green tomatoes saved the day but the parking situation needs attention.

Nice view, average service, average food. The menu is typical Bennigan's/Applebee's fare. It's a good place if you want to sit at the bar with a beer and some nachos, but just average for an actual meal. Good butter rolls, though!

Half-price appetizers and cheap beers combined with a snowy vista of the Ohio River and the Louisville skyline makes for a very "Happy Hour".I only wish I had my camera.My friend Bridget and her BF Donny were excellent compliments to my huge tater skins and Coors Light. I only wish I had a West Coast Korean to go with them.Gotta make do with what ya got.Good time and got invited back.

One Chicagoan and two New Yorkers arrived after a long business trip. We are still raving about the "out of this world" Fried Green Tomatoes! Super delicious, you must get them - the very best! We had the beer flights, very cool idea, and a perfect way to taste 5 beers for only $4.99. A most lovely setting on the river, casual and fun on the deck. Good selection for dinner. Very pretty at night to see Louisville across the river. Wish I lived closer. Loved it!

The food was great, the view is amazing[you are looking across the river at Downtown Louisville], and the service was excellent. I sat down and could not decide what to eat there were so many things that looked good. (FYI- I had the chik fajitas) I will definately be back!
