The Food was DELICIOUS! I got the rib plate w/ a side of baked beans and potato salad. Hush puppies automatically come with the meal. However, I didn’t like the potato salad (too much mayo) but everything else I enjoyed. The establishment is clean, the service was great. Within minutes of me ordering, my food was fresh, hot, and READY. This was the best meal I had on my trip and I’m grateful for that, I will be back.

Choosing 3 stars was a bit reaching, the hush puppies were the best part. The pork sandwich was iffy at best and I feel like they used liquid smoke. Daughter had chicken was like EWWW. GrandBubba said he’d only go back for the fries. Stay away from the chili as it will require a trip to potty in a few short hours, unless of course you need this to happen.

Nice patio dog could join us on. Clean store and friendly workers. But the food was subpar – corn waterlogged, no flavor meat and cold fries.

I ordered the #2 combo (pulled chicken sandwich) in the drive thru on 8/14/23 at 3:50pm, girl working at the window was very nice but unfortunately the food was pretty terrible. Fries might have been good if they had been fresh but mine were cold. Pulled chicken sandwich was mediocre at best, chicken was pretty dry and it was very bland and tasteless. Lemonade tasted what I imagine lemon scented bathroom cleaner would taste like. Not impressed at all, sadly.

The food is fresh and delicious. Haven’t had a bad thing here yet don’t think I ever will… The service is absolutely wonderful… And the best thing on the menu is the pickles. I don’t know what they do to them but OMG they are so good.

I had ordered the chicken barbecue sandwich which I felt it definitely did not have enough meat on it for as big a bun it was. But the taste was great. And also only came with one side which I had order hush puppies. They weren’t all that great I should have gotten the fries instead. Would recommend no they are good

This is one of my favorite BBQ restaurants in the whole country. Their pulled pork, brisket, sides and hot fudge cakes are great. I always make a special trip to Buddy’s when I’m in Tennessee.

This is the only reason I would go to the Pinnacle with all the traffic and high prices. The bbq pork platyer is my fave and the hush puppies are great. They probably have the best tea around!!!! Its always been a great experience here.

Great fast food bbq. The smoked wings are awesome. Wide variety of sides. The Pinnacle location in Bristol TN is great.

I am sorry for the bad review. I am not basing it just on the food. The food was ok. I got the trio. All three meats and beans were cold with no warmth whatsoever. I took my plate to the counter and the manager said they would nook it. He then proceeded to touch the food on my plate without gloves on. The other employees apologize for the food not being hot. The manager was rude and with a bad demeanor. Not once did he apologize. I hate to say that I shall pretty much not eat at buddy’s again due to the bad experience. I hope my negative experience is not the norm.
