“The staff was great, the food was above anything around and better than the sister shops in Knoxville, Athens, Chattanooga, Maryville, and Lenoir City. This restaurant obviously takes a lot of pride in the quality, taste and freshness of the food. While the other Buddys are great, this location in Cleveland, TN is exceptional. It is still the best BBQ in TN. If you haven’t tried it, you are seriously missing out.“

“My order was Logan's wood grilled Chicken Parmesan Peppercorn sauce, on a bed of wild rice, with 2 sides. Chicken was fully cooked, very tender, minus a star because the rice was mostly hard crunchy and had few pieces that were fully cooked and soft. Kids steak tips were welldone perfectly and still tender. The kids cheeseburger was cooked welldone and still tender. Kids fries cooked perfectly. All food tasted freshly made, cooked as ordered, kids plates were not too hot for them to handle. Restaurant/restroom was clean. Service was excellent even though they were busy after the Christmas parade. Downfall - educate employees - young able-bodied employee should NOT be in the ONE handicap restroom on the phone. Grandmother with 3 & 4 year olds needed that stall; we patiently waited.

“My waitress was Bryleigh and she was absolutely the best thanks from the guy that was sitting alone.“

“Dave’s Spiced BBQ has the absolute best ribs I have ever eaten!! Everything we have ordered from there is delicious and the portions are very generous. We drive 40 minutes to pick up their food! Excellent value!“
