5 reviews for Buck's Naked BBQ
Best dang BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon line.
My review is based on one recent visit for dinner with my brother.
We had a very tough day, as I was in town for the death of a close family member. We were in the mood for some good beer and great food at a place that would help take our minds off the day's events. So, my brother said with an evil grin, I'm taking you to Buck's Naked BBQ.
It was a Friday night about 8:30 PM and the place was hopping. We were greeted by a smiling friendly hostess and were seated almost right away. This place is big, so even on a Friday night, you got a good chance at a table without too long of a wait.
Our waitress came by, greeted us with a cheerful smile, handed us menus, explained the specials and took our beer order. (We ordered pints of the native brew of course). She came back in about 5 minutes with the welcomed frosty pints. We were still undecided as the menu was robust with all sorts of appetizers and mouth watering BBQ entrees featuring chicken, pork, beef, turkey, fish and shrimp all cooked in ways that is almost sinful. Plus the aroma of BBQ wood smoke gently hovered in the air creating a sense of wonder and anticipation.
We didn't order appetizers, as we were focused on beer drinking and wanted to save room for the main event. I ordered a combo plate of pulled chicken and a half rack of (dry rub) baby back ribs and Tom ordered the BBQ half chicken. You get to pick 2 sides and the main dishes also comes with fresh baked cornbread. I did the greens and mashed for my sides.
Sometime well into our second beer, out came our full plates of heaping fresh hot BBQ. I felt like a new groom, viewing his bride to be for the first time in her new wedding gown. Both my brother and I smiled and I said "wow" and he said "oh yeah". Are you getting the picture yet?
To finally get to the point, my ribs were perfect, tender and tasty and the pulled chicken was the best I ever had. The greens were tasty and not overcooked and complemented the meat and mashed potatoes nicely. Tom's chicken looked delicious, and after several head nods with his eyes closed, I knew he found Nirvana.
Oh yeah... the cornbread! Fresh baked and warm with just the right texture, not too gritty and full of that wonderful buttery corn flavor.
They also have about 6 kinds of hot sauces and vinegars in little bottles on each of the tables. This allows you to anoint the meat to your preference if your so inclined. Me personally, I'm mucho caliente all the way.
This used to be a little hole-in-the-wall a few years back, with long lines standing outside. Business was good, so the owner built this restaurant to accommodate the growing demand. The atmosphere is rustic but very comfortable. They even have a small kid's play area for families waiting to be seated!
If you are a true BBQ lover, I mean you know and appreciate the difference between smoked meats and grilled, you owe yourself a visit to Buck's Naked BBQ. It's the real deal people.

The best southern bbq in the northern states, but their waitress are rude.
Their portions are huge, price is cheap, food is great, wait is long for dinner, waitress are rude, and their mixed drinks are not that great.
One of the first spots I hit when moving to the area, I had the 1/2 doz. Buffalo wings, which were better than 99% of the wings you can get anywhere, they actually smoked the chicken (not like, in a pipe, but you know..). The half rack of ribs were cooked to perfection and with a variety of dipping sauces you'd be hard pressed to find better fare. Family atmosphere upstairs, with a small play area for kiddies and a "nightclub" downstairs featuring frequent live music and an open mic on Thursday night, I brought my Trombone last week and had a blast playing with an acoustic guitar player. Staff was very friendly and the place is clean, which is something I care about. Plenty of parking and easy to get to as it's right off 295. Go, have some ribs, enjoy yourself.
Went to this place this weekend and the food was great. I just wished I could have picked my sandwich up wihtout the meat falling all over.
They had 4 types of BBQ sauce to choose from. I had a pulled pork with bacon and lettus and tomato, with potato salad and a small salad.
The waitress was great and they were quick.
The decor was cool as well.
Buck's Naked BBQ is a great place to eat! The food is good for the most part but one thing I wish they would have is hush-puppies!! If you have to ask what that is , move on! Anyway the price is right and the food will stay with you for hours!! Enjoy!!
