Celebrating birthday and wanted to do something local. Just haven't been impressed with ‘the steak house' restaurant. Haven't been to buddies in a few years. Very concern after reading so many negative reviews. So glad I did not let that influence me. My filet was the most tender that I can recall from any restaurant! It looked small for a 8 oz but the tenderness was way more than expected. Husband had the ‘stack', he said it was good but next time would get filet. He said mine was better! I read comments on value and for this type grade of restaurant, of course, it's not cheap. No quality restaurant is! It's a higher end restaurant so of course it's not McDonald's price!!! It is compatible to any high end restaurant. It is expensive going out anywhere but for the price haven't had a better filet & a garlic sauce. Friday night and all the servers were also higher end. Get what you pay for.

Went here last night!!!!!!This food wasn't worth $128.00. Let's begin with the fees, supplemental fee?, food tax, another tax and charge for using you credit card. Ridiculous, moving on to the $18.00 for a small alcoholic beverage that was watered down. Horrible. The food arrives for $9.00 you got 4 little asparagus stocks unseasoned and plain nasty. The carbonara chicken which was basically tomato paste, angel hair noddles and two flat, hard cooked chicken breast that were not seasoned. The steak was ok and the Mac and cheese unseasoned and all the food was cold. Avoid this place at all cost. I should have taken that money and used it for gas to get to Saltgrass. HORRIBLE

Best steak around!! A bit disappointed with my experience when I was told it would cost $4 for a 2oz cup of A-1 steak sauce.

I could not believe how disappointing this was The steaks were not done correctly and our waitress disappeared several times The cost was way to much when I cam all the way from new Orleans to dine here. Over cooked meat and poor service Won't be returning

The food, staff, and cozy environment at Buddies are all excellent. It's a real treat to dine at this wonderful little restaurant. I always leave with a smile on my face.

Buddy's is always amazing. Mikes food is always a 10/10. Whoever is grilling them steaks deserves a raise
Brenda
As expected Buddy's did not disappoint!!! I had an item from their “creations” menu. Crab cake, filet minion, fried green tomato, butterfly shrimp wrapped in bacon and drizzled with a spinach sauce.. it was a stack. Also a side of crab Mac & cheese! Absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. I've been to Buddy's a few times and they have always gone above my expectations!! Highly recommended!!!
The food was amazing. The atmosphere was cozy. We enjoyed this place will go again.

First things first the menu on line does not match the prices of the menu when your seated. I paid 44 dollars more for 2 steaks second service was horrible had food spilled on my brother by the waitress we had to ask for bread also . Then the drinks came out wrong twice. On top of all that I ordered a medium well steak got a rare steak so I had to send it back then it came out over cooked very unprofessional this place sucks my advice go to stabs in Baton Rouge

Excellent steaks. My ribeye was one of the best I've ever had -- tender, good seasonings, and not much fat. The only issue was that that the restaurant didn't have my Open Table reservation. I showed my phone to the receptionist to showed the email and text message I got from Open Table confirming the reservation. She said that they have a lot of problems getting the Open Table reservations. It wasn't a big problem for us as we just had to wait 5 or 10 minutes. But it seems like this is something that should be investigated and fixed.
