We tried the ultimate burger and Wow! It is delicious. Best hush puppies ever! They have their own homemade BBQ sauce and it is... so good also! Give it a try. Read more
Buddy's new place is really neat, and the crew really nice. But, it was around 4 pm, just before regular dinner service would... have started, and I unfortunately got a half rack of the driest, overcooked ribs I've ever had the displeasure of eating. Threwmost of it out. Yes, the meat practically fell of the bone, but that was the end of the quality, there was also a lot of pinkin the rib meat. For the price I paid, anyone would expect better quality. What was good, the chicken my husband got, so werethe bbq sauces, mac - n - cheese, slaw, hush puppies, potato and macaroni salads, and the baked beans. My friend got a largesalad and she said although good, wasn't worth the price she paid. This is only the third time I've gotten food from Buddy's,although it may have been a bad day just today, it may be the last time I eat their food. Or at least the ribsanyway. P.S. The other two times we went to Buddy's, I would have given them 10 stars for each day but the scale here onlygoes to five. They also have live music on certain nights ! Not sure how new that is but sounds like a good time to gothere! Take care and be safe!?? Read more
Buddy's from my understanding is a newer restaurant in the area. Naturally since I LOVE BBQ, I had to try it out. They serve... meat plates and family platters. They have brisket, pulled pork and chicken, chicken wings, half chickens plus all the good"fixins". Upon entering the building you're greeted by friendly faces and a modern rustic environment. It's a great lookingplace and I would love to have a room in my house as nice. The service was great and the prices were very fair compared to otherBBQ places. This is obviously very popular place in the area because you have to go at odd eating times to get a seat. Thebrisket is moist, the pulled pork is high quality but the hush puppies stuck out as unique for me. It looks like they make thehush puppies like they would make funnel cake. I normally don't like hush puppies but these were the best I've ever had! I wouldgo there just for them let alone their BBQ. If you ever find yourself in this small town in Virginia, you have to try it out! Read more

Great restaurant with yummy BBQ! The nachos were mostly broken pieces of chips, but it was delicious! The service was wonderful.... The hush puppies are like funnel cake! Read more
Traveled back down to the area for family business and once again I made the stop to this wonderful BBQ restaurant. The new... location just down the street from the old one is a complete overhaul and upgrade. It was packed almost immediately after theyopened at 11am. The food once again stole the show with fantastic flavors and tender meats. I had the brisket tray with buddy'sbanging beans and coleslaw along with the Jamaican Jerk wings. The small portion is just enough to fill you up but if you dig itthe platter is the way to go. Now there is outside dining and live music so if you want the best BBQ, this is the place to go.

Very nice place. Smell of the BBQ smoker when you enter. You get plenty of food for a good price. Everything was cooked good.... Baked Beans are amazing, sweet with after tone of chili pepper. Ribs had nice, smoky flavor, not sticky, no sweet BBQ sauce. Brisket was cooked well, nice flavor. Hand squeezed Hush Puppies had a really good flavor as did the Onion Rings. My personaltaste for NC Pulled Pork is a vinegar sauce, so the following is based on my personal taste. Pulled pork was disappointing, verybland and no flavoring despite claiming to be North Carolina BBQ, no hint of vinegar. Table side NC BBQ Sauce had more of aMoonshine taste, no vinegar flavor. Coleslaw was dry, just a cabbage flavor, no creaminess at all. Overall, good value andgood food Read more
