"I would give 5 stars if I didn't have to wait at least 5mins or more just to be told to wait again. Other than the unnecessary wait I love eating at Buddy's. For me they have the very best baked beans!!!"

- Michell I.

"Food, price, employee's, and cleanliness are all 5 stars at this restaurant. The amount of food you get for the cost has us coming back for more time and time again. Beats other fast food chains by far. The dining room is very inviting, and the sitting booths are very roomy. Everything is well maintained and clean. Staff are always happy to see you with a welcoming smile. Added bonus is how fresh the sweet tea is as well. Definitely recommend "

"My brisket was solid. Hush puppies were decent. Beans were very good. Slaw was ok. Wife had the smokey dog she liked it a lot. The pulled pork sammich my son had was avg at best. Fries had absolutely no flavor at all. Shakes were very good. So mostly good!"

- Jay E.

"One of the best BBQ joints around. The food is always top tier and the service matches. They give you so much food for a good price as well."

- Jacob P.

"Party of 4. We ordered the meal deal for 5. I have big eaters for us it served 4. Our sides were potato salad, coleslaw and beans. 1 extra drink and 1 order of corn. (pulled pork) $47.00. It was good, but being a chef I can't give it 5 stars. The best thing was the corn and hushpuppies. The pork was good. slaw good but potato salad and beans was most certainly from a tub. All that being said I would most likely go back. My family thought it was good and it felt more like a treat than take out. I also love these little fast food gems. I will be back."
