This company makes the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had in my life!!! It’s my favorite fast food place, I wish I found it sooner! Definitely order the finger dinner on your first visit. The corn fritters are extremely addicting, and the chicken pairs perfectly with the bird sauce. Fries go pretty well with buds sauce but I tend to also dip them in bird sauce too. Service is always great, all employees are very nice and they prepare my food pretty fast.

When it comes to “fast food” restaurants, Buds has the best chicken and seafood in the world. Chicken tenders are delicious. Fry’s are crispy and fresh. I’ve never seen corn fritters anywhere else. But they are a tasty treat. I lived in so fl most of my life. I moved away about 10 years ago. Stopping to enjoy Buds chicken on my recent trip to visit family was a MOST. The food is so good, my brother who hasn’t visited so fl since our father passed in 1997, still talks about how good the food here is. We highly recommend everyone try Buds. My only regret is they don’t have a location near where I live now.

Super pleased and impressed with the conduct of the young lady running the drive through today. She was so patient and helpful in assisting me with my order. Her hospitable demeanor is certainly note worthy in my book and greatly appreciated! Sorry I didn’t get her name but thank you for your kindness! In addition, the food tasted so fresh and was cooked to perfection as well! Gratitude for the entire hard working staff at this location!

I ordered shrimp and chicken dinner and shrimp quickie. I chose 2 sides , tartar sauce and jello. There was no jello in my delivery. I love the shrimp but it’s so frustrating that they deliver orders that’s missing something. This is the second time it happened to me.

The Lake Worth location is by far the best! My family and I come in every Tuesday night after my son’s soccer practice, and Bella and her team always greet us with such kindness and great energy. Our food is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious—never a disappointment. This location truly hits the mark every single time! Thank you guys!

Normally I don’t post reviews, but I think for the issues that I experienced, I need to leave one. I ordered the shrimp and fish dinner platter on 11/5/25 and after eating that meal I felt fine. It tasted pretty good(for fast food). But later that day I became very ill. This was the only thing I had eaten this day. I was throwing up for hours and there was an immense pain in my stomach all day and night. I was sweating from the pain. I would NOT recommend eating here!!! I think their food was bad and I ate it!! It is 11/6/25 and I’m feeling better but still nauseous. Definitely check where ur eating before going here!!!

I have been dining at Buds since the mid 70s and I’ve never had a real complaint before (nobody’s perfect). Last night’s dinner was terrible. We waited well over an hour (usually takes a half hour or less) for delivery and when it got here, it was ice cold and soggy; so soggy that the bottom of my dinner box was soaked with a hole in it. We peeled the coating off the fish and ate that. We skipped the fries and the corn fritters because they were tough and rubbery. A most unfortunate meal, to say the least. I hope this doesn’t become a habit. Buds is my husband’s favorite takeout.
EDIT: in reply to the owner, I don’t know how to message you. Dinner was purchased with my husbands CC at 4:48pm. Order #39912722947407872

Service with a smile. Fried food is not greasy which means they are keeping the fryer at the correct temperature. I appreciate that the food was not salty. I tried the fried codfish, Fried shrimp, French fries, hush puppies, and Cole slaw which I could have easily shared. I’m not a fan of fried food but this was really good stuff. I was asked if I wanted cocktail sauce or tartar sauce and I opted for both. The portions are large. Give it a try. There is a drive through and the are ada compliant.
