This is one of my top 10 places, I have ever been. When I walked in I felt a very calming atmosphere and overall friendliness. It is a small space, with five tables and a bar that seats at least six. The service was friendly and genuine. She had a great smile and was super attentive. The pricing is crazy good and the serving can feed two people, if not take home for leftovers. I had the tuna melt on sourdough with American cheese. What I really liked is that the tuna salad was just tuna and mayonnaise. You can add tomato or onion or lettuce, if you choose, but I generally like a plain tuna melt. You can always add a side for a little bit extra. But I chose to have a small bag of chips and a pickle.

Bud's is my home away from home when traveling out this way for work. The prices are great and the lunch time deli sandwiches are awesome. In fact they're so good that I call in an order to pick up for dinner when I get out of work. Very friendly atmosphere. You can't go wrong

Super all gal owned & operated Dive bar! Cheerful experienced staff, excellent lunch/supper food, all freshly prepared. Homemade scratch soups, kielbasa sandwiches, sloppy Joe's, great cold choices and sides. The beers are ice cold and the mixed drinks very ample. You should check it out. Very clean, easy parking.

A really modest place but in reality one of those local gems one loves to find Go for lunch (11 to 2), excellent at very good prices. Sandwiches are great and there are specials including soup made there. People there are friendly and you can eat there or take out. There is a bar with dining area.
