Been a while since last visit. New place, Sat at the bar, bartenders were real friendly, quickly served after I sat down. Hard to decide. Place smelled like a BBQ joint... mouth was watering and really hungry. Finally decided on ribeye. Cooked jist right, rather large not too fatty, and monster size sweet potato with honey butter. Both were excellent. Tried all 3 BBQ sauce, MN is a little sweet, buddy's was tangy not too hot, ghost made me scared... turned out very good. Slightly hot for MN but not overpower the meat flavor. All in all, very good!! Large meal. But a bit expensive, but I will definitely be back to try some of the other goodies they have!

We placed an order for 1:00 pm. Then we waited for over an hour, they kept telling us “any minute now” and the food never came. Then, they told us they don’t have enough food for our order that was placed the day before, and they couldn’t make our order. They did not offer anything as a consolation. No free meal, no free drinks, no discount on the next time, nothing. We even had to go ask the manager for a refund on our order. Don’t place a takeout order here. They won’t make it because they don’t plan ahead.

Great food, but they need to manage their orders better on busy days. Over an hour delay to pickup food

The service and vibe were very welcoming. I tried the burnt ends to start, very tasty. The beef ribs were huge and pilled high. The jambalaya and jalapeno cheddar sausage were great. Everyone in the place was happy to be there.

Not the best BBQ I've ever had. Way overpriced for what you get. They don't know how to make a Cubano! Very loud place! I can't recommend. Go to Hanover, much better!

This is a great little find in the country. Stopped quick passing through and grabbed a salad, chili and Mac and cheese. It was good food and I saw others with the blt and brisket and pan to go back to try more. They were setting up for love music on their outdoor stage and the atmosphere of what appears to be an old gas station is really cute. More upscale inside. Give this gem a try!

We recently had Buddy Boy cater for us for the second time, this one being a Grad party and the first time was my husband's 50th birthday. Each time their food has been a huge success, with all our guests absolutely loving it! But, even more than the food I want to rave about Buddy Boy's customer service. We had a miscommunication (my fault) and they were so quick to make things right, even sending out people to our party to bring additional food. The whole process of planning the catering is made so easy by Jennifer and the Alaina (sp?) made the pick up process so easy. In a world where customer service is quickly becoming an after thought, Buddy Boy puts it at the forefront, making us loyal customers!

Very nice staff, nice dining room, and an outdoor area for live music. Food is very good, fast service, a very good value for what you get in a meal.

Fantastic family owned and operated business. Our friends and family come from all over Minnesota to enjoy!
Went to buddy boys bbq today and I was shocked on the food you get. I had the brisket sandwich and it was amazing. the smoke ring was perfect 1/4 inch all the way around. the atmosphere there is very nice and peaceful. I want to go back when it gets warmer out to experience the outside dining. the staff was amazing as well, they always came with a smile to see how things were going and they let you enjoy your food with out hounding you. This was overall a very great experience. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. thank you to the buddy boy staff for a great experience.

This place has some delicious food. Had my eye on it for a while, and my wife and I finally drove out with some family to celebrate an early birthday! It did not disappoint. The brisket was flavorful, the mac n cheese tasted fresh, the "baked beans" (really more like a tasty pork chili) were epic, and the cornbread was literal butter (lol). I highly recommend Buddy Boy BBQ!

I was disappointed in the burnt ends, too much spongy fat and not enough meat.
