I visit Buddy's Bar-B-Q weekly for the best pulled pork, BBQ chicken, and brisket in Athens, Tennessee. I vary my visits between drive-thru and dine-in. The drive-thru line usually moves quickly. Dining in is always a pleasure as well. There's always ample seating, the tables and chairs are clean, and the staff keep the restaurant clean. Prices are reasonable, and the food is fantastic. I have never left here feeling like I didn't get enough to eat.

The food was overcooked and I could tell the staff didn't care so I didn't bother to complain

Not worth 40$ . Chicken was dry and hard as a brick. Burnt. Didn't get a fill plate. The service was horrible . People had attitudes . Slammed our plate down and shoved them at us. Don't think we'll be back.

I don’t understand how a restaurant like yours does have a maintenance department or doesn’t care what your restaurants look like! For over a month the door next to the handicap parking has been broken. Anyone parking there has to walk around the front and up the drive thur lane to get in the building. The emergency t sign is broken and just hanging open. That is just a little of what is wrong with that location.

Skimpiest serving of brisket I’ve ever been served. The corn was flavorless and it was way overpriced
First and last time we will be eating here. Single mom, decided to treat my daughters and I to a new food place. Dine in. For a kids meal and adult meal it came out to $25. Okay np. We got our food and my infant, daughter and I all disliked the food. Ok, let's put bbq sauce on it, nope we didn't like their sauce either. We aren't the type to throw away food. We eat what we ordered but it took a while to get the kids and I to finish food we didn't like. Mind you the place was a ghost town at dinner time. They had drive through customers but we were alone seated inside. The staff was nice and prompt and we had no issues with them. If we hadn't disliked the food the evening wouldn't have been horrible. Went to the restroom to change my 10mo olds diaper and no changing table. At this point I'm just sad. My oldest asked why we went into the bathroom and immediately turned around and I said because they have no changing table. And a worker heard us while we were passing and she apologized despite it not being her fault and she was nice but I just felt defeated and simply replied it's ok we just won't ever be returning here. And we picked up our stuff from our booth and left so I could change the diaper in the car. It's just one of those little things days I guess because the sadness that we paid to eat out as a treat only to dislike the food and to have a bathroom that wasn't baby friendly sucked. Also I had to scrub down the baby high chair when we came in because both of the ones available had old food caked on them. Which I was going to overlook despite them being a ghost town inside I understand that gets overlooked on the cleaning list for multiple different restaurants... But our experience was a bad one so that's my two cents, at bare minimum add a changing table in bathroom and clean the highchairs. I understand not everyone likes the same types of food, obviously some people like that place if they had multiple drive through customers but personally my family didn't like it. We like BBQ, just not from here.
