Order extra jumbo and they were empty. Waiter gave me the bill and I wasn’t finished (and I still tipped). Didn’t feel welcome. Won’t come back.

Service could be better. We've been lots of times and every server forgets something. But they are all nice and apologetic. Foods is great. Chill place except Sunday brunch. That's busy.

The single best rib place in the entire USA… GUARANTEED. I’ve had Ribs all over the country (ribs is my favorite food) but Buddys is hands down the single best rib spot I’ve ever had. It’s beat out California, Missouri, Texas, Florida, and more! They’re sweet, tender, and fall off the bone! I always come here on my birthday since it’s my favorite rib spot in all of the DMV. 10/10 would recommend!

Edit: Forgot to add the other pics of ribs I’ve had over the years lol. Delectable

1st time here. Parking was a challenge there is a parking garage but it was full and very hard to navigate that I was lucky on my way out of it.I found a parking spot. I got a boil which I really did like because they cut the potatoes instead of putting them in there home , so the season went completely through the potatoes. My guess had the special , which was quite a bit of food.

This was one of the best seafood experiences we had in Maryland. And we went to many places.

The staff was very polite, atmosphere was lovely and they were quick to add high chair for our toddler.

We had brunch buffet and boy it was an exquisite spread. The crabs were good but could have been better. However the location might matter, plus for us, the gold standard is Ocean City crabs which is very difficult to beat. So not the restaurant's fault!

Chicken pasta was really amazing and our baby enjoyed the French toast like never before. We are happy that she could enjoy the whole meal without being fussy.

The pilaf and seafood gravy was amazing as well. If anyone is familiar, it tasted very similar to Malaysian gravy that you may find in Kuala Lumpur or Langkawi. We were thrilled to get that taste off the coast of Maryland.
Convergent evolution perhaps.

The deserts maintained the high standards established by the main food. The best was the walnut cake. Do try it. It's not too sweet which makes it the best flavor. There are also live counters for waffle and seafood pasta that one might savor.

Overall full house rating for the full house service.

Went for the crab special on Tuesday all you could eat Maryland blues with all the fixings. Moderately priced but well worth it! Food was delicious and waitstaff were very attentive. Sat at a window overlooking the water quiet atmosphere. Did have a flight of stairs to go up so be aware not very handicapped accessible. I highly recommend.

It is RARE that I post reviews 4 a restaurant. But Buddy’s deserve it. This was our 3rd time going but this visit was perfect. Atmosphere, warm welcome, seated immediately, server Rob was the BEST! And the food was Delicious. So much food! No small portions here. My husband & I went with 2 of our grandsons. We had our drinks, 2 appetizers, 1 appetizer and a feast for 2 (the Marylander). We could’ve had 2 more adults with us and everyone would’ve been full. Well done!!! I wish I could post the video clips.

We went to Friday Happy Hour, and ordered the crab leg/blue crab special.

Atmosphere is great. The music wasn't too loud and wasn't too contemporary. The service was also very good!

The food was good. The crabs and legs were steamed perfectly (you know when they're not).

This is the second time we've gone here and I'll go again. It's a nice, laid-back place to eat!

My husband and I ordered the all u can eat blue crab, but the crab was small and not fresh, and the waiter was rude. I regretted the time and money I spent finding the place, and I regretted paying $69 per person for the food. I will never visit this place again. I regret going there and spending money.

Always a great spot to crab some seafood or bbq, the crab here is amazing, our server Robert kept a close eye on us during Saturday dinner rush, couldn’t have been happier with his service! Your restaurant is lucky to have him!
