Bucky’s Bar-B-Q

I went to Bucky’s and had a great experience. The cashier was very nice to me, and the food was great. I would definitely recommend the ribs, and all the food was very fresh.

Definitely good bbq and mac and cheese is very good. But i found a piece of hair in my food and well i can honestly say i will not go back anymore. But overall good food and great prices.

Great BBQ! I smoke my own pork shoulders, ribs, chickens, and anything else and when I’m not smoking my own BBQ for family get togethers I eat here at buckys. This location has great employees. It’s always the same man and woman working and they are always so nice and welcoming. We work in the area and they are used to seeing us at least once a week.

Best BBQ in Greenville! Very fast, affordable, and friendly! I love Bucky’s! This restaurant makes me feel like I’m literally at a backyard barbeque, haha. To be honest, I would eat here everyday if I could. It’s so delicious and it’s great old-​fashioned bbq.

I wish I hadn’t have gotten there 5 minutes before they closed because they were out of a lot of what I wanted to try. I got the pork plate with mac & cheese and green beans. I thought the meat had good flavor but the texture was a little mushy for my liking (disclaimer: I am not from South Carolina so this might be the norm for the region). The mac & cheese was very good. The green beans were just green beans. I wanted to try the sweet potato crunch, but the guy in front of me got the last of it. I liked the mustard-​based sauce better than the red one, but neither one were spicy enough for my palate. I’d go back for a second visit if I’m ever in the area again.

It’s looks like a dive from the outside, but inside it’s super clean. The barbeque is really good, legit off the smoker pulled pork and ribs. Every plate comes with two sides and a drink. My only complaints– a crumbly bun and the serve yourself drink station. There was a scoop for the ice that each patron touched with their hand, then dropped back into the ice. Invest in an ice machine that dispenses and get five stars, Bucky!

Me and my lady really enjoyed our lunch. We both had the pulled pork plate and our sides were sweet potato crunch, tater salad, cole slaw, mac n cheese… they also let us sample the ribs. Everything we had was excellent and I only wish they had one of their restaurants closer to us in Myrtle Beach. 4 thumbs up and 5 stars all the way around!!!

Great bar b q ! Nothing fancy, just good value and taste. Try the lighter plate — a full meal. Good for take out — ready, quick service.

Great BBQ! Mac and cheese is the best side! Want a dessert try the sweet potato crunch! Nice people, friendly atmosphere!

Great BBQ and fantastic mac & cheese (I got a double order) for lunch. Inexpensive, but it’s a no-​frills situation. I’m a fan…

Not exactly sure why everyone thinks so highly I this place. I went today for lunch during work and to be honest, I wasn’t really impressed. First, the store itself was kid of dinghy and dimly lit. Not really any decorations or anything like that. Secondly, the BBQ is nothing to write home about. It was kind of bland and lukewarm. There were a couple of flies flying around the food preparation are, which really bothered me. For those reasons. I am giving this place a 3 stars.

Not so sure why everyone likes this place so much. Don’t get me wrong — The bbq isn’t horrible, it just isn’t remarkable. Everything is just ok.
The prices are ok, the chicken is ok, the brisket is ok… Blah.

This food was AMAZING!!! I have never considered myself a BBQ person… mostly, because I have never found any BBQ that I thought was good. When I think of BBQ, I think of «down home». Nice juicy meats and side dishes like what you find at Grandma’s.
Bucky’s is a wonderful find. We went a couple of days ago, and it was all that the Unilocalers said it was. The ribs were great. the chopped pork was flavorful (just a tad dry)… and the sides were wonderful. We pretty much stuck to the Mac and Cheese and the Sweet Potato Crunch. Both were as great as all the Unilocalers have told you.
Mutts just isn’t worth what you pay… and you couldn’t pay me enough to return to a Sonny’s.
Bucky’s is worth the drive… any day.
(Except on Sunday… cause they’re closed :) good for you Bucky’s)

Absolutely delicious. I got the light plate (smaller portion of pork, same calories) and it was just enough. Mustard sauce was wonderful. Sides were hot and delicious and the tea was sweet. I took a group of visiting Yankees who had never had real Southern style barbecue and everyone loved it. This is definitely my go to barbecue place.

Fast & Friendly service. Food was excellent! Highly recommend it, but be sure you go hungry. Great prices for a lot of food. Can’t wait to go back.

Good for a quick and tasty lunch. Nothing special in the décor, but it fits the bill.

I’d give Buckys 5-​stars if they’d add a little more side items to the menu… but the smoke-​filled pork is the best anywhere — loaded with the bark, the pink halo, and the meat. 22-​hours of boston butt perfection.
It needs no sauce to make up for missing flavor or cooked out dryness, but the homebrew sauces are worth a few dips.

It took me a little while to make sure that I was going to be pleased with my Bucky’s experience. The location is a little awkward, the dining area has a blast-​from-​the-​past feel, and the guys at the counter maintain unnervingly polite conversation as they chop away with big meat cleavers. At first, I kind of felt like I was walking into a trap… a BBQ disaster… but I was wrong!
A pulled pork sandwich with two sides and a sweet tea will only cost you SEVEN BUCKS! These plates are affordable, enormous, and delicious.
I was more than pleased with the pork – moist, tender, awesome. I opted for the mustard sauce. That stuff is good. The mac and cheese is not overly creamy or overly cheesy – and I love the extra black pepper! The sweet baked beans are tasty – nothing tremendously special. The sweet potato crunch is everything dreams are made of.
Bucky’s is the kind of place that will serve you more food than you think you can eat – and more food than you think SHOULD eat – but you will eat it all anyway because it is soooo gooood.

If you look through my profile, you’ll see I eat BBQ all over the country.
I had the BBQ sandwich here. Short review? Best I’ve ever had.
Damn near the perfect sandwich.
If I’m ever in Greenville again, I’ll most definitely come back.

Yum.
I don’t give many 5-​star ratings, but if I lived in the Upstate then this would be on of my favorite/​regular lunch destinations.
Nestled in with the Lake Forest Shopping Center, it’s easy to miss if you’re not already familiar with its location. And from the outside it has that ‘greasy spoon’ diner feel to it (which should have been an indicator), but one step inside and all my senses were telling me I just walked into Grandma’s house. Oh, boy!
The operation here was simple, which was nice. There was one feller at the counter taking orders, and another feller next to him chopping pork and dishing out sides as fast as the orders were coming in. They could’ve probably used a dose of personality each, but they were efficient so I’m not complaining.
I got the pork plate, which came with a slice of bread, 2 sides and a drink for $ 7. My one complaint here was that they didn’t have hushpuppies (and 1 slice of bread wasn’t enough). What kind of BBQ joint doesn’t make hushpuppies? But I digress… For my sides I went with the mac ‘n cheese and sweet potato crunch (with sweet tea). I also got a small cup of their hot sauce when I heard a coworker ask for some.
The pork itself was tender and had great flavor. I had a couple of huge chunks of skin that had a beautiful crust on it. Once I added that special sauce, the entrée was taken over the top. At first lick it’s a bit sweet, but then it comes back around and wraps your tongue in the Figure-​Four (Wooooo!). The mac ‘n cheese was really creamy and some of the best I remember in recent years. I think I figured out this may be due, in part, to the extra black pepper dotting the golden deliciousness. And then there was the sweet potato crunch. Some of my coworkers thought it was too sweet, but I thought it was spot-​on. The mash was creamy with a few chunks/​cubes of sweet potato mixed in, and then the candied pecan topping was charred and a blessing from the good Lord. The tea, which is just as important as every other component of the meal at a BBQ joint, was well received.
I should have just gotten a whole plate to take home, but I did purchase extra tubs of the macaroni & SPC (the «crunch» got soft after sitting all day, but it was still great) to take home with me.
