Stopped here during a road trip with my son in 2022. Wanted my son to experience having an old fashioned style burger. Bud Williams delivered! When you walk in, it definitely had the feel of stepping into an old soda shop from the 50's. From the fixed stools at the counter, to the old solid booths and tables. The aesthetics were exactly what I was lookin for! The burgers, fries and shakes were excellent and so fresh! However, I wasn't very pleased about the a la carte menu. They did have a written special for a burger, fries and coke but we wanted shakes and our waiter was clear about no substitutions. So, we had to order a la carte. Walked out spending only about $20 plus a tip but we didn't really leave physically satisfied. We both could've eaten more. So, the prices were just fine but the portions could've been bigger. When you order a double cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake, you expect to get a big burger, a basket of fries and a shake that fills the malt tin. The burgers were quite small. Even my double was gone in 4 bites. Was about the same size as a McD's double cheese. The fries came in a tiny basket. Maybe 20-25 fries tops. Also, about the size of a small order for McD's. The shakes weren't much bigger. Was hoping to get more for my buck but it's not the 1950's! Needless to say, we had to eat again in the next town but we were very satisfied with quality and taste of the food! If you visit here and you're hungry, order everything large and order 2 doubles! Please patronize this business!

Greasy burgers are amazing. French toast left something to be desired.

Amazing little place. I love how they know their customers and food is always amazing. Also, you can't beat the prices. My son loved sitting at the little bar part and watching how food was made.Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids.

Bud Willman's is a gem! Mounds of butter next to the flat top, no squeeze bottles of partially hydrogenated nonsense in sight. Containers of shredded and sliced potatoes for real hash browns and home fries. Breakfast perfection.

Wow! What a great experience, went specifically for burgers and they did not disappoint. Out of the 3 ordered, the best was the classic cheeseburger and I would order that everyday. It was well worth the drive and I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in the area. Great diner experience!
