    Inattentive, horrible service. Server hardly checked in on table, had to look for server to ask for drink refills. Took over an hour to get and eat breakfast.

    50's dinner! Buddies has generous portions with the fun of a 50's dinner. Elvis must be near. Probably best for families and teenagers. I had breakfast and lunch. Good experiences both times.

    Buddy's is a 50s-themed dinner and we were actually surprised that it wasn't busier. The food was good and all fresh ingredients and the desserts and milkshakes looked unbelievable. We were there for brunch so indulging in a huge cinnamon roll seemed to be the most appropriate for the morning. The staff didn't seem to even know or understand how OpenTable works though so hopefully they will get that part sorted out soon. But we would definitely go back the next time that we're in Pacific Beach.

    Hamburgers were dry, couldn't finish. Next time I'll order differently.

    My family and I visited Buddy's Diner for Easter lunch and the whole experience was fantastic! Food was great, milkshakes were amazing and our service was on point. I was very happy and will definitely take our family and friends back again and again!

    Service and food quality seriously lacking. Nice ambiance but not worth a 15 minute wait for watered down coffee.
