One of my friends recommended I try this place because I had been looking for a good BBQ spot in SD…read morewhich is hard to find btw. And I am a self proclaimed BBQ connoisseur. So I came here on a Sunday. Let me start by saying I loved the vibe and the customer service was superb. The cashier was really nice and people were constantly checking on us while we sat and ate. I'm from LA and this place was giving backyard BBQ with unc and auntie and them. lol. There is a cigar lounge type vibe to the very back serving up cocktails and playing sports on the big screen if that's your vibe. They also had some RnB playing as well. Now for the food. They are not stingy with the portions at all. I ordered rib tips, a hot link, and brisket with cornbread, potato salad and Mac n cheese. The rib tips were not as tender as I would've like them to be, however the flavor was good and their bbq sauce was phenomenal. The brisket was SUPER tender but could use more flavor. The Mac n cheese was too salty for me and my friend that came with me. However, the person who recommended the spot said the Mac n cheese was fire so maybe it was an off day which happens. The potato salad though (which they only have Fri-Sun) was out of this world and so was the cornbread. Oh AND they have kool-aid ! I did not get any but I'm sure it was fire. Side note: when I warmed it up the next day the meat did have even more flavor !

They also have some fun drinks like a hard lemonade, and a dole whip mimosa. The bartenders are nice too. Ambiance: 4.5 We tried the pulled pork, the brisket, and the tri tip. I was only impressed by the brisket, which was nice and moist. They have lots of sauce options too, and I really liked most of them. The Mac n cheese was pretty good, the potato salad was great, and I really liked the crunch of the green beans Food: 4ish

We ordered delivery and got the Best of Buck Platter, kids corn dogs, cornbread, and apple cobbler…read more The food itself was yummy and clearly has a lot of potential -- flavorful, well-prepared, and the kind of BBQ that would probably shine even more fresh and hot. Unfortunately, the DoorDash experience was rough. We were contacted about a substitution (peach cobbler wasn't available), but the call came through as spam on our phone. After that, there was no immediate notification when the food was dropped off, so it sat outside longer than it should have and arrived cold. This feels like a case of great food undermined by third-party delivery issues. Because the food was genuinely good, we plan to retry Buckboard's in person, where it can be enjoyed the way it's meant to be. I'd recommend dining in or picking up directly rather than delivery.

Ribs had a nice char from the grill which imparted a smoky flavor. Beef ribs were high quality with lots of meat on the bone. Beef was tender and juicy. Sauce gave a mix of sweet and tangy flavor. Very good tasting dish. Staff was nice and efficient.

I just got home and ate. It was so terrible I had to post NOW…read more I am a born and raised local who loved this place when they opened. I am back in town and decided to treat the family to dinner. I picked up a full rack or pork ribs, half a chicken, beans, Mac and cheese and onion rings. The child of the family was "starving" so I made their plate first. I served them chicken and mac. I licked off the fork and was hit with the most disgusting taste. It totally threw me off. It tasted like burnt dirty charcoal mixed into a tasteless goo. When I tell you it wanted to immediately spit it out I am not exaggerating. I waited to see what the kid would say as they were taking their first bite. They chewed a couple of times and looked at me with a "I'm going to throw up face" I grabbed a napkin and put it at their mouth for them to spit out. They yelled asking how I could give them something so awful. And I don't blame them. It truly was freaking disgusting. Onto the rest of the meal. To my dismay it all was terrible. Their bbq sauce tasted sour/tangy and not in a good way. It tasted old sour. The meat fell off the bone but the flavor of their sauce is so different than it used to be. And again, this was not intentional "tangy". It was not good. I went for the onion ring in hopes that it is a safe bet and I was again proven wrong. It was SO greasy and again with an old used greasy flavor. You know the flavor. There is a difference between greasy because it's fried and old grease greasy. Regular greasy you can blot off and the taste is fine. You taste the batter and onion and all is good. OLD GREASY- it doesn't matter how much you blot- ALL YOU TASTE IS OLD OIL. And that is exactly how those onion rings were. I did not bother with the beans. None of us finished our meal. I spent over $60 for trash. I would have rather fed my kid McD's. This place once was an establishment that seemed like someone's little dream to have a small town restaurant. It had great flavor! You can definitely tell this place is a thing of the past and standards are no longer important to the owners. Highly disappointed and still freakin hungry.

We ordered the beefy ribs and baby back ribs, both were good but I was wowed by the beefy ribs. I was seriously full by just one, so I got to enjoy the rest at home. $35 for this is a pretty good deal. Literally fall off the bone, so much meat, smokey, just perfect. Sides complemented the meats well. I've also tried the cornbread here from the family meal and it is amazing, so much corn flavor and super moist.

Angel is the man and treated us so well and was so kind to our group's birthday girl. I had the original Balboa burger and it was a nice change from all the smash burgers trends. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. The meat was seasoned well and the sauce was a great compliment. Apparently they make the buns in house as well, and they were so light and held the held the burger well together. A bunch of the group got the garlic fries and I opted for the salt and pepper fries. The garlic fries did pack a punch, but because of all the garlic they did tend to be a little bit soggy. I am glad I went with the salt and pepper so flavorful yet stayed crunchy and delicious. We are one of the last groups, but it was a nice space and can host large groups well. I will be returning so my wife can experience this.
