Ive been in love with Buckys for the last 6 years when we moved to Greenville! My friends and family will vouch for that. Every 4th of July for the past 6 years Ive dragged dozens of friends, coworkes and family members out to the amazing feast that Buckys puts on. Ive loved everything from the hog to the band and all the sides in between. This year, however, the event left a very sour taste in my mouth. The parking lot was full, crammed and neglectfully unmanned which made it very difficult to navigate in and out. As a result I got a hefty scratch on the side of my Ford F-150 which cost me $1,600 in body work. I approached Buckys on friendly terms and asked them to do the right thing and help me pay for half of the damage they caused by neglecting the parking situation and allowing drivers to block the exit ways, but unfortunately the owener, Wayne Preston is too greedy to do the right thing. He pays lips service to gratitude for freedom and independence but will not put his money where his mouth is. My husband has been serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan for 6 years and Ive been going to Buckys in his honor every July 4th as thats his favorite BBQ place in Greenville. I will no longer go back or bring any friends or have anything to do with Buckys. They may serve good food but they have greedy hearts. SO SAD!

Out of towner trying it out . Buckys was good BBQ. I had the Ribs n Pulled pork plate. It came with a drink and white bread .The pulled pork was not to smokey, and went well with the house BBQ sauce. It wasnt dry but not moist either . The ribs were, I think brined first. Im not a huge fan, but it does keep them moist but alters the texture. Im not into that texture. It also left them a bit salty, and without a true hardwood smoke taste and texture. I preferred Henrys. The sides Mac and cheese and slaw were very good and fresh , not old soggy Mac n cheese. The amount of food, and value was exceptional. The service was not so friendly, I had to ask for bread, and figure out a drink came w my meal instead of being told . I liked Buckys sides and pulled pork over Henrys. Overall Buckys is a great deal and food you wont be disappointed with.

Went on a Saturday night to the Roper Mtn location. We had never been there before but we tried it based on reviews. I dont know where these people eat bbq but this was not 5 star bbq. The pork was barely warm enough to consider it room temperature. When i boxed it up to bring it home you could press it together because the fat had congealed. The sweet baked beans were too sweet. They tasted like maple syrup or something. The potato salad was also warm. Didnt eat it because I didnt know how long it had been sitting out like that. Very disappointed. I guess some people consider the grumpy staff cute but they could at least acknowledge your presence. Not one word from anyone! Oh well.

Simply put, Buckys has the best pulled-pork barbecue in the Upstate. They start with slow-cooked Boston butts, and do a good job of removing the meat with a minimum of fat, gristle, or veins. Generous portions of the smokey-tasting meat are complemented by a set menu of freshly made sides including cucumber salad, sweet potato crunch, and a solid, Southern-style mac & cheese. The mustard-based sauce is scratch-made and compares favorably to the best Midlands BBQ joints. As good as Buckys is, however, it would not be my first choice for ribs. With that caveat, theres no other place Id rather have bbq locally; its not even close.

Absolutely wonderful, some of the best bbq Ive ever eaten. My wife and I had the bbq sample platter, pull pork,ribs and chicken. Everything just melted in our mouths, the bbq sauces were are wonderful too. The staff was very pleasant and on our way out we spoke with the owner who was very nice and answerd every question we had. Looking forward to him opening a restaurant in Boiling springs on day. We shall return !!

Thank heavens for tongs. The man running the counter was rubbing his nose w his hands and then grabbed bread for my sandwich without washing his hands or putting on gloves. Yuck. Did I mention he ran the register, handled money and the pen you signed your bill with not to mention he was unfriendly and my food was cold? Good idea to leave the back door open when its 50 degrees out. Wont be back.

The wife and I were out and about when we saw Buckys and decided to give it a try. A small no frills spot with outstanding service and food. I had the sandwich platter and my wife had the chicken platter and they are very generous with the portions. Both of our platters were amazing so there were no leftovers. If you are in the area worth a stop for some delicious BBQ and friendly service.

I think Buckys has some of the best barbecue you can find in the upstate, however many of the sides are quite institutional. All of the locations are no-frills, Pay for your food at the counter and pick it up there, take care of yourself from there. All of the locations are kept clean. The owning family also does much in the local community and around the world in charitable work.

Best bbq in Greenville!!!! Nice proportions and great prices. Employees very friendly and welcoming..Got the rib dinner and they were cooked to perfection. Definitely "fall off the bone." Pork was perfect also. Not at all the dry texture you find at other places!! Recommend Buckys BBQ to anybody looking for that good southern style flavor..Will surely be going back for more!!

I always enjoy the food there...the only problem I have with this location is that the food doesnt be warm much and today..the tall heavy set guy wit the eyes wasnt as welcoming..but to be honest he always seems like he is in a bad mood!!

Great dining experience! Customer service is lacking but they are just trying to get the crowd through the line! When they run out, there is no more since the food is coked offsite. Love the seasoning salt mix! Great on the beans!!

Chicken, pork, rib platter plates were good but not overly impressive. Ha had good sweet tea and Dr Pepper and they had tennis on the TV when we walked in. Sweet Potato crunch side dish was definitely a winner

Great BBQ! If you go, you really should try their sweet potato crunch. Even if you dont like sweet potatoes, like me, this is almost like a dessert. Even better, they give a Bob Jones student discount.

Great food. The half chicken plate with two sides and tea is under $8. The sauce is mustard based, but one has tomato too. The sweet potato casserole is fab.

Outstanding smoked meats, especially the ribs. Sides were okay and two were included in the price for a plate and also included a drink. No soda available

Good food and cheap. Got a pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and Cajun beans. Will definitely go back to try their other BBQ.
