Wow, the food at this little restaurant is fantastic. Best ribs, brisket and pulled pork i've had in a long time. The owner and help are very friendly and helpful. I've passed this place a million times and never thought to stop in, a friend tried it and told me how great it was and I'm happy I did.
Have driven past this places a dozen plus times and always wanted to stop. Stopped today. And boy I wish I had stopped sooner. Got their Memorial Day Special. A full slab of ribs and also the half chicken special. The ribs and chicken are amazing. The sauce is a perfect balance of tangy and sweet with a little heat. Cornbread was was sweet and soft. Mac and cheese was really good. Also got the greens, a little sweet for my liking. Just a personal preference, like them a little more tangy. Customer service was on point. Giving recommendations for future visit. Have already recommended them to a couple of people.
Smokey, mouth watering, prompt and attentive...they check all the boxes! During lunch time this restaurant was pretty busy. They were cranking out food quickly. I got my order to go, and realized that when i got home, i was given the wrong order. Great......I'm freaking starving and am now 20 minutes away. I'm overly cranky when i'm hungry and the last thing i wanted to do was call, wait on hold, explain my situation, and complain about my order. Regardless, I called. This is where Bronco's is AWESOME!!! I did not even have to explain. I said "hi, my name is Sam" and the girl that answered the phone cut me off, apologized profusely and sincerely and offered 3 or 4 solutions to fix my problem. I was mind blown! They really cared about my order and me as a customer. I ended up eating the food i was given, and even though it wasn't my order, it was amazing! I really had a great experience here and cannot wait to go back.
Ribs were great - fall off the bone. Mac and cheese was delicious and very well seasoned. Beans were great. Brisket was amazing with gorgeous bark- I'll be craving it. Loved the sauce. The cornbread was light and not too sweet. So happy we found this place! We will be back.
1st visit! I ride past all the time and finally decided to check them out!! Nice western decor and music playing greet you as you enter!! It was lunchtime ,but service was swift. I needed a moment to take in what was offered. Everything was reasonably priced!! I ordered a half slab of ribs, potato salad , baked beans, and corn bread. As was mentioned in another review, the potato salad and beans were pretty standard. The cornbread was sweet and moist! Delicious! Then there's the real star!! The ribs were meaty and flavorful!! The rub and sauce were perfect. I usually ask for extra sauce,but the meat was so tender and well seasoned I didn't have to! I will definitely be returning for more!
Ummmmm, best BBQ in the state! Huge portions for the price, delicious sauce, and adequate dining area. The decor is super cool, really captures the essence of Ohio. The owner/chef takes pride in serving great food, checked in to make sure everything was good with us too. Highly recommend!
This new spot just opened up on Ridge Road recently, and I nearly did a u-turn to go back and grab some grub! Calmer heads prevailed and I returned a few days later, ready to attack some 'que! Due to COVID-19, they have changed up a few things inside, and I decided to get my platter to-go...will save in-person dining for another visit (and there will be more visits). I love the opportunity to try lots of menu items, so their platters are a big hit! The bronco platter I ordered was a great way to sample multiple meats...ribs, brisket and pulled pork in this case. The ribs were smoked and required some "chew" to get them off the bone...just the way it should be! Both the brisket and pork were presented in more of a chopped / pulled style, a bit surprising for brisket both both of these meats were tasty and moist. Their included sauce was slightly smokey and tangy, a solid combination. For sides, their mac-n-cheese was ohhhh so gooey, the potato salad was chunky style and creamy and the included cornbread was moist and sweet. For dessert, I tried the banana pudding which had nilla wafer chunks and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Perfect ending to the meal. Can't wait to give these folks another go...please give them a try and help spread the word on this new business, wishing them the best of luck!!!
