Kids corndogs burnt to the point where I’m not sure how they felt comfortable serving them. Also got a tossed salad that had a total worth of 3 small bites worth in the bowl. Truly remarkable of the let down for my first time there. Won’t be back

Best apple pie I’ve ever had! You can’t beat this place if you want great service with a smile served with a side of small town gossip.

I've been soul sick just wondering what's happened to good old fashioned human decency, and stumbled upon Bud's, a real honest to goodness diner for lunch. I got the burger basket for $7.50, and ngl wept tears of gratitude

I was doing road construction in the area and I wanted a good burger after work. I happened to come across this place and stopped by. Thinking I was just getting a burger. Well, let me tell you. Without a doubt this place took me back in time and actually made me a bit emotional. This place reminded me of the most amazing cook in my life, my Grandmother!! We lost grandma about 15years ago. I haven't tasted food like this in years! The coleslaw and the burger was Great!!!😋 But, the Apple Crumble Pie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and tasted just like Grandma's 👵 I will never come back to Defiance, ohio again without stopping by Buds!! Thank you Buds, for the great food,great service and most of all for taking me back to the good ole days!!!!! God bless you Buds

What a diamond in the rough spot! This is absolutely a hidden Gem and must try place.
From your welcome in at the door, service, and great meal with a slice of the most Delicious pie you can't go wrong eating here.
We've been going to Defiance for years and can't believe we hadnt found or been told about it till today.
Until next time Buds Diner we'll be back. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I always get a Big Bud Burger, Ballreich’s potato chips, a shake and a slice of the best pie every time I travel to Defiance!

Excellent diner food, served hot and fast at reasonable prices. We were driving through town and stopped here for lunch. Spouse’s hamburger basket (with fries) was excellent and my BLT was great (pictured). Hand made chocolate shake was delicious.

Tried their pie for the first time after hearing rave reviews for years. I had the rhubarb custard. Very good!

It was ok . People always said to try so I did. In my opinion it's a little pricey for a diner type restaurant.
