Gave this place a second chance and the food was terrible. Soggy sandwich, fries way over salted and my kids nuggets were over cooked. The lady who took the order was very nice, but the food wasn't good at all.

I hardly ever leave a review for a business unless the quality/taste well exceeds my expectations. I am from CT and currently on a business trip located a mile down the road from Buddy’s. The atmosphere is fantastic unlike anything you would see in CT. Top tier service from the friendliest counter person in charge of taking your order. My first night I had to try the double buddy burger, waffle fries along with the highly reviewed fried mushrooms. I went to take a small bite from each and was truly amazed with the quality of the food! I couldn’t resist so I decided to go back again the following day to try a Philly cheese steak with waffle fries…. Again, consistency is key when finding a new place to eat. Not sure when I will be back in this area again but you already know I’ll be trying something new!

My sister recommended Buddy’s Burgers so we went. We were told the wait was 30 minutes and we said that was fine. It ended up being around 50-55 minutes but they were slammed both for dine in and carry-out. The girls working were working their butts off. One was running food to tables, the other was working the register for a long line of customers, and I saw BOTH running orders out to cars on top of that. When we got our food, it was hot and freshly made. The kids even had to wait for theirs to cool down. My order was made exactly how I asked. Tasted great. While we were finishing up, there was a man that angrily and rudely complained about his food and how long he had to wait. It was unnecessary since it was obvious the staff was doing everything they could. The girls working handled that situation very well too. They were level headed with the man even though they were probably half his age or younger. After that they remained polite with the rest of the customers even though the man clearly had upset them, and they kept working hard. I was more impressed with them than with the food, which like I said, was great. The cook(s), I’m positive were also working their butts off because as I mentioned, when we got our food it was hot and accurate. Next time we’re in the mood for a burgers, we’re stopping by again.

Walked into the restaurant and was told I had to wait a minimum of 25 minutes just to place an order for takeout. Not how you run a restaurant, you apologize take the order and ask them to come back to pick it up

We LOVE Buddys!! Best burgers around! They also have gluten free burger buns as an option and they are AMAZING! The shakes and homemade fries along w the sweet potato fries are all to DIE FOR! Lisa is so nice and is always super sweet. All around great place for atmosphere and food Great decorations and little corner hangout especially in the summer with their outdoor picnic tables

I used to come here occasionally when I worked nearby, but it's been years. I stopped in again today for old times' sake, and I'm really happy I did. The burger was one of the best I've had in a long time, and the toppings and portions are generous. The homemade fries are incredible. The lady working the register was so friendly and welcoming, too. All around excellent.
