Buddy’s Burgers has always been one of our go-to spots. You can really taste the difference in the freshness of everything, especially the meat. The burgers are always cooked just right, juicy, and full of flavor, and the fries are consistently hot, crispy, and fresh.
My personal favorite is the turkey burger paired with the sweet potato fries. It’s something I find myself ordering almost every time, and it never disappoints.
Another big reason we keep coming back is how accommodating they are. My wife is gluten-free and dairy-free, and this is one of the few places where she can always find great options and feel good afterwards. It’s a huge plus knowing there are plenty of choices that fit her needs without sacrificing flavor.
What really sets Buddy’s apart, though, is the people. The manager, Nick, is incredibly pleasant and always accommodating, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. You feel taken care of from the moment you walk in.
Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. Highly recommend.

Excellent dining experience. Spectacular salad, excellent hot dogs for only 1.50 on Tuesdays!!! Fries and hot dogs reminded me of going to the Phillies game.
This place reminds me of Fuddruckers!! Me and my wife will be visiting more often. Thanks so much for the great experience and we will see you again very soon!
Can’t wait to try the chorizo fries and the burgers!
Much love,

Good stop. Grabbed a burger fries and a dog. Burger was on point, dog was excellent, got chill and cheese on it and fries we’re not bad. Overall good food and service was good. Parking can be a bit tough depending on what time you visit.

Only reason I did 4 stars is because they changed the drink options to one size(smaller cup). Their milkshakes are smaller too. Could have been years ago, but that’s how long it’s been since I’ve been there. Love the burgers and the buns. Used to get more bag fries in the large, but still good.

My family loved this place until we realized they fry everything in beef tallow. Since my wife and daughter are vegetarian, we’re always looking for a place that has tasty burgers and fries but offers vegetarian options. Burgers are top notch. Buddy’s has a really good impossible burger but they don’t offer any vegetarian friendly fries or sides. Such a shame since we used to bring our kids here for milkshakes and burgers maybe 2-3 times a month. Maybe if they change their fries we’ll come back.

Counter service, but they bring the food to your table. No need to over order because the portions are fantastic, especially for the price. The grilled cheese was very cheesey, and the Philly Special burger was stacked! Everything tasted good and fresh. A lot of unique pairings to try.

Outstanding place. The fries were fresh cut and not at all uniform like McDonald’s. They were served hot and crispy. The burger was great. The chocolate shake very drinkable, not so thick, just rich delicious and dare I say, perfect. Any one of these three, the burger, the fries, the shake All would’ve been worthy of coming here just for that.

I recently tried this burger joint, and I must say, their burgers and fries were decent, hitting the spot for a classic combo. However, what truly stood out were the milkshakes – rich, creamy, and simply delightful. The real surprise, though, was their special spicy fried cheese curds; they added a unique and satisfying kick to the overall experience. If you’re a fan of flavorful shakes and adventurous sides, this place is a must-try.

I had the French Onion Buddy Burger, and it really tasted like a French onion soup. It was great.
A great pair with sweet potato fries and a coke. The only thing I would want is the sweet potato fries to ve a bit more softer/mushy inside.
Great staff, and they serve you the good once you order at the register and take your seat.

Giving 5 stars because of the value and quantity of food. In todays day and age that is rare to find.
Food itself was solid – burger and fries both a 4/5 in taste.
We came on a Wednesday and it was $4 for a large fries and MAN IS IT LARGE. For 2 classic burgers and 2 large fries we ended up around $22 which is amazing for the amount and quality you get.
5 stars would visit again.
