I ordered a hot fudge cake and my cup is only half full. This is supposed to be a regular size. And yes I do stir it up before I eat it.

The food has always been decent. The”mint” shake i got was not very minty at all, but it’s not Baskin Robbins, so I don’t really think it’s fair to complain. The BBQ is good and their coke is delicious.

Great jalapeno hush puppies.
The toughest ribs I’ve ever had.Ha to fight to get them off the bone. 1st time I’ve walked out of a BBQ place without eating my food
Would have loved to try the Mac and cheese but not for $3 extra.

I actually was in a nearby shopping center and smelled a delicious aroma that l traced like a bloodhound to buddy’s barbecue. I had never eaten here before but definitely will be a repeat customer. From the friendly service to the delicious food, I am sold! And l had the daily special which consisted of a pork plate and two sides with a drink included all for less than ten dollars. I spend more than ten dollars at McDonald’s and this barbecue is WAY BETTER!

Went thru the drive through at lunch rush. Employee was very rude. It was 26.xx for two meals. We ask for bbq and blue cheese dressing for the wings and also got charged 1.34 for them. We got wings and pulled pork with fries and two drinks. Once we got our food, the fries weren’t cooked all the way, the pulled pork tasted cold and like cardboard and wings were ice cold and gummy. It was the worse food ever. I love Buddy’s and this place wasn’t what Buddy’s use to be! Horrible employees and food!

My #1 Bar-B-Q place in Athens. Always receive great service and good BBQ flavors. Great tasting bar-b-q which is priced right in a nice atmosphere. Plenty of free parking all around. Wheelchair friendly at the front door with a slight upward ramp from the parking lot.

I visit Buddy’s Bar-B-Q weekly for the best pulled pork, BBQ chicken, and brisket in Athens, Tennessee. I vary my visits between drive-thru and dine-in. The drive-thru line usually moves quickly. Dining in is always a pleasure as well. There’s always ample seating, the tables and chairs are clean, and the staff keep the restaurant clean. Prices are reasonable, and the food is fantastic. I have never left here feeling like I didn’t get enough to eat.

Don’t be deceived–Buddy’s may look like a fast food chain, but their food doesn’t reflect it! I ordered a half-chicken meal with potato salad and coleslaw, and pulled pork dinner with green beans and baked beans. Both meals came with hushpuppies! Oh it was quality and delicious!! Coleslaw was fresh, crunchy, and not too sweet or savory. Super kind front of the house and a clean dining area.

We eat here every few months or so because there’s a lot of food and it’s filling. It’s usually delicious, but when we went a couple of weeks ago in the evening and brought our food home, well, it must have been under a heat lamp for an eternity. My boyfriend got the worst of it, having ordered Hawgback Fries. The fries were so hard from sitting for so long that he almost broke a tooth! This man will eat most anything, but that was simply inedible. I had the same thing but the baked potato version with pulled chicken, and the meat was hard…almost like a plastic consistency.
That was it for us. We will not be returning to Buddy’s.
