Vintage decor a bit kitch, but nice welcome, helpful staff, a simple card and food that holds to the stomach, the place seems to attract many walkers and also cyclists along the Potomac, positive experience.

I do not often gush over dining experiences, but gush I must. Viva Buddy Lous!

Delicious food as always. Service ways great. I had the shrimp Greek salad and my husband had the short ribs. Large portions, cute atmosphere and good selection of beer and hard cider on tap.

Cute place off of the rail trail. Unfortunately my chicken sandwich was tougher than a rubber sole. Food was meh but would work in a pinch! Also appreciate the copious outdoor space, major a plus for that!

Buddy Lou's was recommended to me by some riding buddies, and was worth a stop! Really friendly, quirky place. The upstairs was closed the day I visited, but the outdoor downstairs was open with food truck offerings. The place is very popular with bicyclists riding the nearby trails, and offers plenty of parking and dogs are welcome. Food from the food truck was simple but tasty. The eponymous bottled lemonade was perfectly delicious and refreshing on a warm autumn day. Definitely worth a stop in Hancock, MD!

Charming and unique casual food and ice cream. Great food and service.

I ordered the salmon and was disappointed—it was a small, thin piece from the tail side with very little meat, and the sides were also tiny. For a $24 meal, I expected much more, especially in a small-town setting.

The food was great, as well as the outdoor atmosphere. They were busy... we waited longer than usual. Our group of 14 kept the waiter running. A little disappointed that the classic Reuben was no longer on the menu (need to update the online menu). I added an updated photo of the menu. The 8 ounce burger and fries were excellent!

Thank you.

We’ve been here twice recently for brunch and were pleasantly surprised both times!! The Bloody Mary is a perfect execution of a classic Bloody Mary, the meatball appetizer is so hearty and cheesy I could eat just that and leave satisfied. Service was delightful both times, shout out to Lori who was quite kind and lovely. Today I got the breakfast skillet, but the Benedict and sausage gravy have both been on point in the past. From food, to service, to venue you can’t go wrong if you’re patient and there for the vibes. Bonus points for the cool playlist.

***Guys take your ladies here for a date!!!***

The term hidden gem doesn't seem to do justice to the truly magnificent establishment. Buddylou's offers to those weary explorers willing to traverse westward into marylands Appalachian ridge. From top to bottom Buddylou's offers cycles for rent along the Potomac, a basement ice cream parlor, first floor dining and drinks 🥂 and attic antiques.

We started with cycling the cost is by the hour and they have 2 and 4 seat rentals. The trail is beautiful and well populated with other cyclist, and a few walkers(not the kind that bite).

We had wings as a started and they far surpassed expectations, easilly rivaling major wing chains. For my main course I ordered ribs my personal favorite food, and these did not disappoint falling just short of fall off the bone perfection. Light pressure was enough to pull a part these beauties. A solid 9.5/10. The mac and cheese is sinfully delicious served in a cast iron pan to give that slight crunch along the sides, I find myself salivating simply recanting the tantalizing texture of these saucey noods. The few bites I stole from my girls burger were as delightful as the rest of the meal. For dessert I had a white Russian milkshake. I don't think I was truly mentally prepared for alcoholic dessert because I found myself enjoying my girls Sunday much more, but to each there own. The decore of the establishment is rustic. Vibing with the for sale antiques on the top floor, scattered through out are pieces of nostalgia from at least the last century. I highly recommend this to everyone. Especially guys in search of a romantic outting for their partner.
