All-u-can-eat Saturdays… was great! Tender, fall-off-the-bone good ribs. Sides are delicious & good-sized portions. They bring a basket to the table & ask if u want refills. Workers are wonderfully friendly, polite, patient & helpful. Don’t miss this $18 experience on a Saturday mid-afternoon. Surprisingly – not crowed. They even have great desserts & ice cream

Fantastic and DELICIOUS southern style restaurant and may I say the service was outstanding. The lady working the front walked around and cleaned table and after that brought FRESH hush puppies for all the diners and they were soooo yummy. This was a great first experience and I will be back! I highly recommend. Thank you so much for having this place! Keep it up!

Leather ribs with 1 Oz of meat , wife said her potato tasted like it was sitting all day, dry chicken chewy brisket. Potato salad was the most redeeming dish. Ask for sauce on the side until you’ve tried some.

Went to Buddy’s BBQ on Camp Jordan Parkway in East Ridge, Tennessee this evening. The food was hot and tasty, the service was great, and the location was extremely clean. 5 star night!

The BBQ was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh and it came out quickly. The people working were friendly and very helpful! The dining room was super clean and so were the restrooms.

PJ is driving this place into the ground. They never have the right cleaning materials and the machines are never cleaned properly throughout the day and i would not be surprised if some serious food poisonings have been a result of this. Not to mention the rude disrespective i am better than you tone you receive when being given orders. A real shame because it is a good product you have some great people working there and it could be amazing. Be careful who you hire for your “area manager” in future.

Was pleasantly surprised by the food. Walking in it looked like a run of the mill chain restaurant. Their food was good, but the BBQ sauce was to sweet for my taste. The half chicken was cooked good and wasn’t dry. Being from Houston, TX we’re picky on our QUE.
