    I could not believe how disappointing this was The steaks were not done correctly and our waitress disappeared several times The cost was way to much when I cam all the way from new Orleans to dine here. Over cooked meat and poor service Won't be returning

    As expected Buddy’s did not disappoint!!! I had an item from their “creations” menu. Crab cake, filet minion, fried green tomato, butterfly shrimp wrapped in bacon and drizzled with a spinach sauce.. it was a stack. Also a side of crab Mac & cheese! Absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. I’ve been to Buddy’s a few times and they have always gone above my expectations!! Highly recommended!!!

    Salad was overpriced when compared to other restaurants. It was a small dinner salad and one you would normally get with a entree. They were out of two popular whiskey used for old fashions. Old fashions were higher priced in our opinion then other restaurants. This use to be one of favorite restaurants prior to the renovation.

    Unfortunately, the steak lacked much flavor. My daughters ribeye was pancake thin. This just wasn't a $225 meal.
