    Overall had a very nice dining experience. The Nashville chicken hot buttered buns, wedge salad and eggplant fries were delicious. One member of our party thought the Nashville chicken dinner was too spicy but loved the cheese curds and the funfetti cake! The service was decent too. Will definite go back!

    Our 2nd visit and it was phenomenal! Be sure to order the cheese curds they are “to die for “!! We also had the kimchi fried rice, which was outstanding! For entrees, two of us had the ribs with the sour cherry sauce…..OMG! Another in our party had the salmon, another “star”. If you are in the theater district, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bud and Marilyn’s! You will not be disappointed. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    I had dinner here years ago and it was ok. Nothing special, just ok. On this visit I ordered a short rib stroganoff that ended up being so tough and so over salted I had to send it back. While the server was nice enough to offer another alternative, I decided that it just wasn’t worth it and ate the horrible biscuits I ordered that were as dry as a desert and flavorless. I highly recommend you try one of the other very good restaurants in center city. This place is a hard pass. Also, only three restrooms and one out of service. Good luck!
