Based on our last visit, I am rating this Buddy's down in Whittle Springs A 3 star. We stopped to get drive-thru food yesterday on the way to our daughter's house. The lady that took her order in the Drive-Thru was super short with us. When we got our food home it was put in the bag sideways so everything was completely mixed up and leaking. It was ridiculous, they weren't even busy.
So far, the best BBQ I've sampled in Knoxville. It's not award winning IMHO but decent enough for a return trip. Pork bbq had good flavor and sauce was halfway between an NC vinegar style and KC style. Beans were passable but clearly their own small take on Van Camps Baked Beans recipe (I should know as it's the recipe I use at home). Hushpuppies were dang respectable though!
I never have a complaint about this location. The food is always hot and fresh. It’s always so clean. The tables are all neat and the paper towels folded. The sauce topped up. Cindy is very helpful and will get you anything you need!
