Can’t beat the Tuesday special! And the employees are always so polite and helpful!
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.

This location has some very rude employees. I waited a long time to give this place a try because of people I know having bad experiences and I didn't even make it to ordering because the person on the phone had an attitude.

Never know when they are going to open or close… don’t go by their restaurant hours online they close super early all the time . 8-8-25 Saturday door says 9pm but 8:20 pm doors locked up this happens 3 to 4 days a week.

My first time in Cleveland Tennessee and at Buddy's. Food was fresh, hot and exactly as I ordered. Service was friendly and helpful in making our choices. We used the drive thru and it was still quick.
The cashier was friendly and brought fresh hush puppies right to the table! Your cook was also very nice when he handed off the food to me.

Everything here was amazing! I haven’t had an appetite lately and I was looking for a place with extra flavor and this had everything to offer. The #1 was a home-run for me.

We eat here at least 5 days a week sometimes 2 times a day. What can we say other than an exceptional experience. Food is the best and beyond any fast food joint selling unhealthy alternatives. We love the smoked chicken and always bring home leftovers. Don’t know how you can eat this healthy for such an inexpensive price. It’s just icing on the cake that everyone has a smile on their face and are super helpful and friendly. It’s kinda our happy place. Nice to find a manager that takes personal pride in his product. From the heart we thank you all.
