My first time at a Buddies Bar B Que and Just got my order home. I found dry chewy brisket sliced like roast beef, and soggy fries WTF??? I cook better Bar B Que than this place. Seriously, how do all these lame places stay open?

Overrated expensive for the small amount of food you get. Tastes like every other barbecue place in America.

The food was delicious, I LOVE the fries! The wings were very tender and crispy just as I like them. The smoked flavor comes through just perfectly. My first time in the area. Decided to stop in for lunch. Good choice. Service needs work- attitude, just didn't feel welcomed though I dined in anyway.

We had the BEST experience at this buddy’s! And my wife and I have been eating at buddy’s for years! But this particular location went above and beyond and I couldn’t be more thankful! We sat down to eat and were asked multiple times if we had everything we needed, if we wanted any extra hush puppies, etc. and then to top it off a gentleman cleaning saw us and our 3 children eating and came over and asked if it was ok for him to bring our kids ice cream with fudge on it! I was blown away at not only the generosity, but the respect he had for us as parents to ask permission first. This is our new “home” buddy’s, thank you all for making our day!

Got the feed 10 and was told they no longer substitute corn for a side when you can sub.on any meal so what's the difference...and had a big peice of skin in the pork where it was ground up prob counted as weight also..but other then those two things it was great...

The food is excellent but it is the worst attention I have had in this country, they are too racist, rude and poorly educated, I have gone to this branch twice and I took care of myself as if it were garbage, unfortunately but the food is excellent at least...

I went to Buddy's on Kingston pk.Next door to Burger King,We went thru drive thru.I ordered wings dry rub, Cole slaw and baked beans I had to pay extra for them but never got them,this is the second time this has happened My sister got chicken that was horrible ,say what you want ,but it was raw inside ,she ask for a bake potato ,she couldn't get one if she paid extra ,The service was good ,but the food was bad What has happened to Buddy's ? This is the third time for bad food and paying extra for food you don't get ,I will never go back.
