“ Everything was phenomenal. Food was priced right. (Actually alittle cheaper than most sit downs) atmosphere in the restaurant was quiet and laid back at around 12 on a Sunday. Wait staff was on par with out 10 person crowd. Yall are lucky to get a picture of my food. I was hongry. Like really hongry. I ordered the jerk chicken bowl. Had jasmine rice, chicken, Asparagus, pineapple salsa, and jerk sauce. It was absolutely delicious. My son ordered the glazed salmon. I made sure it wasn't poison and tasted it. All clear, no poison. My other mini ordered some Mac and cheese and steak. I made sure that wasn't poison too. All good. The friends we were with ordered an assortment of plated including loaded Mac and cheese, and a giant amount of loaded bbq nachos. I'm pretty sure this could have fed 4-6 adults, or 12 mini adults. Make sure to grab a used food container to smuggle your leftovers. A service. A food A establishment. Thanks for listening! ”
“ Met my friend for lunch on a Friday. Not too busy and we sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and kept our drinks full! I ordered the Buds Backyard burger with the beer battered onion rings. Food came out hot and pretty quick. The onion rings were the best I've had in a long time! I could only finish 1/2 the burger and took the rest home. It was so very good!! 2nd: Ate dinner on a Tuesday night. Took an hour to get our food. 3rd: went out with co-workers with a group of 10. Server was great and apps were really good! ”
“ Our first time here and it was amazing! Our server Megan was incredible! She answered all our questions and suggested menu items/options for us. Very knowledgeable and just a ray of sunshine! We started off with the Onion stack rings, diet coke, & Mr. Pibb. Probably some of the best onion rings we've ever had. I have specific dietary restrictions and Megan offered to order me a half of the ceasar salad with blackened salmon/add tomatoes. (Pictured; sorry, I had to take a bite or two lol) It was delicious and so fresh! My husband ordered the full rack of ribs with mashed potatoes and collard greens. I tasted a rib and they're sooo succulent, juicy, and fall off the bone! (Note: If you're looking for smoked ribs, these are just the roasted without the smoke.) He loved his potatoes and his greens were excellent . The menu is huge for a bar and they also have family friendly seating! I noticed about 3 or 4 people who ordered the Bbq sundae which is packed with mashed potatoes, pulled pork, chicken, baked beans, mac and cheese, and bbq sauce. Which I am is probably heavenly! Megan said that the portions here are pretty large and was she right! I couldn't even eat all my salad (I can't eat that much anyway and I got a half order of the salad.) We came for lunch and left with dinner for later! Excellent food, environment, and if you're there during the day, ask for Megan! They have drink specials and live music at night. We definitely want to plan a night out here. 5 star all around. We'll definitely be back! Great job, Bud's! ”
“ Visited here for dinner with my dad. I ordered their jerk chicken bowl substituted with grilled salmon and order a malibu pineapple drink . It very very good and the service/bartenders were very nice! ”
“ Love this place. Day time or night. Drink specials are good. Had 1.75 domestics today early in the day while we played pool. They have bands there at night. Lots of space. The staff is friendly. Just a good all around place. ”
“ Amazing service, food, and atmosphere. Everytime we come in drinks are ALWAYS ice cold, service is fast (thanks to the amazing staff), and the food is delicious! We're made to feel like family and I would recommend this place 10/10 times! ”
“ we went there for the first time on monday june 23... we loved the atmosphere... food was great... friendly people... our server Alicia was phenomenal... she was on top of everything... and we always had everything we wanted and needed... she brings top notch customer service ”
“ We went there for the first time on a Thursday night. It is very clean with a very relaxing atmosphere. The employees are very nice, and our waitress was awesome. She was constantly checking on our group , and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with drinks and they had very reasonably priced specials. Then came the food, and all I can say is WOW! The portions were large and it was absolutely delicious! I forgot to add, although it's technically a bar, it is very family friendly. My 4 year old granddaughter loved it. They also had live country music, and the performer that night (2-20-25) sounded great and was very talented. Our overall experience was fantastic, and can't wait to return. Bucket of 5 beers, appetizer, 3 large meals with one soft drink. 62. ”
