As expected Buddy’s did not disappoint!!! I had an item from their “creations” menu. Crab cake, filet minion, fried green tomato, butterfly shrimp wrapped in bacon and drizzled with a spinach sauce.. it was a stack. Also a side of crab Mac & cheese! Absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. I’ve been to Buddy’s a few times and they have always gone above my expectations!! Highly recommended!!!

Salad was overpriced when compared to other restaurants. It was a small dinner salad and one you would normally get with a entree. They were out of two popular whiskey used for old fashions. Old fashions were higher priced in our opinion then other restaurants. This use to be one of favorite restaurants prior to the renovation.

Unfortunately, the steak lacked much flavor. My daughters ribeye was pancake thin. This just wasn't a $225 meal.

The service was poor. It was a Monday night and we were alone except for one other table. After sitting for an hour we did not have our steaks! I did email the owner hoping for a response but didn’t hear from him. We have going to Buddies for years . It was my husband’s birthday so it was very disappointing

We were there to celebrate our friends birthday. The waitress name was either Jade or Jada. She was "the best" She interacted with us and fit right in with our craziness. My husband said she could sell ice to an Eskimo. Lol. Three of the four of us got the recommended specials. Everything was delicious. It was a Monday night, so it wasn't crowded. The food is a little pricey, but for a special occasion. It is definitely a treat.
