Delicious food, fast,friendly service. This was our first time here. In town for a race. Appreciate the kind person behind the counter who brought over extra hush puppies! Really blessed my man with her thoughtfulness. Highly recommend.

The food was great! Green beans and slaw were awesome with the brisket! Joyce waited on us after we had our food providing more hush puppies (which were fabulous)! Sauces were great too!She was very kind, offering to fill our drinks and clear our table. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Decided to stop by this location a couple days ago and to be honest, wasn’t really surprised. Buddy’s BBQ is ALWAYS exceptional, nothing less.
The food was amazing and the service was excellent. To a lot of people, Buddy’s would be looked at as a “fast food” establishment. Joyce came outside to check on my group while we were eating, brought hot hush puppies back to our table and even offered to refill our drinks. What kind of fast food place does that?
Joyce was absolutely incredible. Personally speaking, it’s refreshing to see the right person for the job and I believe Buddy’s does an incredible job of putting the right people at the right place to give the customer the best experience possible.

We eat here every week! The staff is precious and so helpful! We love ordering from Melissa, she answers all of our questions and then Joyce spoils us rotten at our table checking on us and bringing hush puppies. We high recommend this restaurant.

Everything we’ve tried has been excellent! Especially love the Brunswick stew. If you eat inside, they walk around offering extra hush puppies! Everyone is so nice too!

East Ridge store. The BBQ is delicious. Just enough smoke flavor , but not over whelming. The sides are great , the green beans are delicious, potato salad is great. Bake beans are great. Did not have the coleslaw so I can’t say anything about it. The portions are huge. We got the feed five pork and it was enough to feed 10. The service is wonderful. The girls are very efficient and a great sense of humor.
