Buddy's Bar-B-Q Athens, known as the Tennessee version of Sonny's barbecue, offers a drive-through option with a variety of fast food options. The meat is comparable to deli meat in texture. A favorite menu item is a large potato filled with barbecue, cheese, and sour cream for under $10. The buffet includes hot and crispy fish, good chicken, and tasty greens at a reasonable price. The restaurant has improved in many ways, with a friendly staff that is very nice and user-friendly. Customers often visit weekly for the best pulled pork, BBQ chicken, and brisket in Athens, Tennessee. The drive-thru line usually moves quickly, and dining in remains enjoyable with ample, clean seating and attentive staff. The restaurant is very accessible, making it easy in and out of the door. Vegetarian options and accommodations for dietary restrictions are good, and kids are well taken care of, with staff making sure children are happy with their food. The new team does a great job serving great food at very reasonable prices, and the atmosphere is much improved now that previous negative influences have moved on. Popular dishes include pulled chicken dinners with baked beans and corn on the cob, considered a great meal. The hot fudge sundae cake is also a favorite, especially for those wanting a sweet treat before leaving. The drive-thru remains fast, and staff members greet customers with smiles, creating a welcoming environment. Despite the restroom needing some improvement, Buddy's Bar-B-Q Athens continues to provide satisfying and flavorful meals.
