Customer Reviews
**Review of Buddy's Bar-B-Q, Kingston, Tennessee** I recently had a disappointing experience at Buddy's Bar-B-Q in Kingston, Tennessee. From the moment I walked in, I had high hopes for a great meal, but what I encountered was far from it. The brisket I was served looked as if it had been sitting out for over a week. The color was unappetizing, a ghastly green hue that immediately raised my concerns about its freshness. In addition to the unsettling appearance, the taste was equally terrible. I took one bite and was immediately put off, as it had a foul flavor that made it impossible for me to continue eating. I’ve had plenty of brisket in my time, and this was among the worst. Feeling uneasy about the quality of the food, I decided it was best to leave the plate untouched. It’s dishear
So yes we got there 15 minutes before closing time. And yes we got it for dine in. Only because I do not allow eating in my taxi. So when I ordered a combo and the cashier intensely just rings up the sandwich because they don't want to cook french fries, that is really not cool. This was intensely done, because when I asked where the French fries were. The cashier said. We're fixing to close so the cook probably over looked that. And I was given a Hugh plate full of 1/2 cooked fries. I get it, I am a business owner, I like going home at closing time also. But I make sure my customers are completely satisfied before I go.
13 Dec roughly 5pm. I just ordered a Brisket sandwich. The service was smile filled and fun. The wait wasn't long at all. I'd just grabbed my drink cup, turned around and heard my number. Wow! The brisket was a perfect 172 degrees. A very appetizing brownish black and grey with a hint of seasoning. The meat was juicy and very tasty. I'm very very happy with this order and will definitely be back for more! Buddy's is my buddy!
The quality of the food is indicative of the price. I originally got the rib dinner but ended up having to send it back. The ribs were cooked to the booing that what little meat they had was dry and the bones were made brittle. I was inadvertently biting off chunks of rib bone trying to eat them. The pulled pork sandwich that I ended up subbing out for the ribs was okay. A little dry but that is to be expected of fast food bbq. My wife had the brisket sandwhich and she said it was good. All in all its fir considering the price I would just advise against the ribs.
Good food and very clean, good prices
