Always good, whether it’s a sandwich, plate, or even salad. And the fresh fried skins are amazing.

The food was cooked but not seasoned I order one slab of ribs, part was great and parts were too tough to chew. The back beans taxes like they came out of a can and were just heated up with no added seasons. They did put some pork sheds of meat however since the year was not seasoned then it did not make a difference. I also had coleslaw which was ok. The banana pudding could need work. I do want to say the staff was friendly and pleasant. I just wish the food I ordered was great as the compliments that others stated.

Buddy’s is the best BBQ in Shelby County. It needed to be said. I have a theory I haven’t given a name yet, but it’s a true one. If you want good Mexican, go where the Mexicans eat. Italian, same thing. If you want good barbeque, go to the place that has zero pretense, comes from a little smoking shack on the side of the highway, and has been open for 40 years.

This first time I ate here I had a pork bbq sandwich. This time I had the four piece chicken finger meal with fries.

I hadn’t been to Buddy’s since my 10yr old was born. I ate there almost everyday when I was pregnant with her. It was great then and still is. Their burgers are among the best I’ve had. The owner and the young lady who cooks are very friendly. Oh let’s not forget the cake. Must have!! Will def be back to see if those ribs are still as good as they were.

If you want quantity in a burger then this is the place, but quality is lacking. It’s basically meat slapped on a grill with no seasoning and thrown on a bun. Nothing special

I went there today with my son. I used to live in Simmsville Road, now a part of Chelsea many years ago and would frequently pick up food from Buddy. Today, when driving down Hwy 31, I told my son the best BBQ stop used to be near here. When I saw it was still open we went in. Buddy was there and the food was as good as I remembered. My son ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich and I ordered a BBQ beef plate with potato salad and slaw. Everything was delicious. My son especially enjoyed the sauce. We will definitely be back soon.
