Food was over priced for quality and amount. We went for lunch and service was just okay. The menu on line was not the menu at the restaurant. My wife and I was disappointed.

Always consistently good. Friendly and efficient service. Fairly priced. There’s no doubt we will be back. I can’t remember the appetizers but one was with bow tie pasta and an Italian cheese sauce? It was delicious! We also got some type of spring roll which was also delicious. Steak was wonderful according to my wife (the Queen something or other? I had the burger for the first time and it was impressive.

Nice experience and perfectly prepared steaks. Sat in the bar area and the one bar tender, who was also our waiter, was efficient though seemed stressed and stretched to his limit. He did get some help later in our visit…

When we entered in the person was very nice. Our waitress Sara was amazing. She helped us pick our appetizer and when that came out and food she always checked on us. The food was absolutely delicious. The only problem was behind these curtains you can hear people talking and that is fine but the cursing is not okay.

Excellent food and atmosphere! We were seated at a table that wobbled pretty bad but the hostess fixed it. We also did not see our waitress for about 15 minutes after we were seated. I have never had that experience at Buddies before so I was a little disappointed.

Celebrating 55 yrs of wedded bliss. As usual ordered Tomahawk. Cooked well. But we took home half. The half we took home was about a 6 oz of solid fat. Not happy !

Everything was great but do not book a reservation with them through open table as they do not utilize if. You have to call for a reservation. We booked a reservation through open table and when we arrived they didn’t have our reservation and when we said it was through open table we were told, “oh, we don’t really use that; you have to call.” We were able to get a table.

Our server was great. My steak was $13.00 MORE then what it says on the website. And my steak was not as good as it use to be. They do not offer you any bread or crackers. You can not even buy any bread, except for their $12.00 Oyster Loaf. They do not serve Baked Potatoes anymore. They do have Mashed Potatoes with the peeling in them. Yuck. The food was ok. We will not be back for a while.

Steaks were highly seasoned and overcooked. Waiter asked us to cut into our steaks and walked away before getting an answer. Got our bottle of wine more than halfway done with the meal. It was my father’s 80th birthday. I wrote it on the reservation. They said it did nothing about it. Will never visit again.

Buddies consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. The food quality is premium, the service is professional, and the ambience is charming. Every aspect of our visit seemed to fuel conversation, and we were there for three hours without even realizing it. We will certainly return very soon.

Very nice atmosphere, the server was very polite & professional. Would have preferred to have the oz. size listed on the filets as the Queen was quite small, very good, cooked to perfection but if we had known the size amount I probably would have gone with the King. The only complaint was the creme brulee, the sugar was flamed torched as needed but underneath the creme was cold & appeared to be instant? Will definitely return.
