What Folks Are Saying
Google Review
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Dwayne Martin shares that it was a trip not wasted:
Some of the best BBQ ANYWHERE….pulled pork was fresh and delicious. I also loved my green beans and slaw. Drove down from Hendersonville, NC to eat here and it was definitely worth the trip.
The ribs were delicious as well…You definitely get your moneys worth. The portions are generous. I love the no frills (but cozy) atmosphere. We will be back soon!
PS….their mustard and sweet BBQ sauces are amazing.
Yelp Review
Over on Yelp, Ashley T sends everyone Bucky’s way:
I recommend Bucky’s to everyone looking for a bbq place! It’s top tier in both the ribs and pulled pork department.
The ribs are incredible. Great flavor, wonderful texture, absolutely worth the price. The pulled pork is excellent! It’s so tender and flavorful. Everything pulled pork should be! It’s great on a sandwich or by itself. Their sides are delicious also!

This barbeque is, by any standard, a barbeque that one will drive out of their way to get.
The ribs, on the other hand, are even better than that; they are some of the best in the state.
Going Whole Hog is one of the best books on barbecue I own (and I own over two dozen featuring recipes from North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, and many other southern states). By design, this book concentrates on barbecue originating in South Carolina almost exclusively; the notable exception being John Lewis’ much appreciated Texas invasion of… Read more “One of the Best Books on Barbecue I Own!!”
