Customer Reviews
We arrived around 11:30am before the larger lunch crowd. Greeted nicely and welcomed by an open Bible, verses, and a sign in book for travelers. Loved that atmosphere. Service was good. The two things I wanted the most they were out of and that's why I gave food 4 stars. The food we did receive was excellent. Pulled pork and thick bologna sandwiches, fried pickles all very good. Love they have all the sauces on the table. Seating was comfortable and not cramped. It was packed by the time we left and the servers were all smiles and never flustered. We will definitely visit here again when in the area.
Man what a great BBQ joint. I got the Meat Sweat's plate. They were out of chicken so I got the sausage to replace it and man it stole the show and that is saying something! The brisket was delicious, moist and had a great smoky flavor. The pulled pork was excellent. The ribs were mighty fine! The slaw was pretty dang good. Their onion rings were not homemade but were some of the best non-homemade that I have had. I asked for my fries to be extra crispy and they were really the only disappointment on the plate as they were not crispy nor seasoned. I also got a piece of key lime pie and it was so good. I highly recommend Buddy's!
Awesome place!! Food was excellent, the service was second to none!! Crystal is the absolute boom!! On top of everything to make our experience perfect!! It was well worth the 1.5 hr drive. We will definitely be back.
1st time coming here. Can’t believe how much food is in the plate!! Had to take a to go box home. We will return and I say go check it out
Crystal and Kristie were great servers. The fried gizzards were the best, but they were too salty. The ribs were very good, but they were too salty. The slaw was very good. The hush puppies were good. The baked beans tasted more like pork and beans. The hush puppies were good. This was the first time I've ever eaten anything at a restaurant and thought it was too salty. People accuse me of over salting my food. Hopefully someone accidentally made a mistake and oversalted the ribs and gizzards . We traveled over 50 miles to visit y'all and we will be back, but please check the salt. 8-16-2025 3:00 pm
