I drove down to West Texas from Durango, CO for a family Thanksgiving and had to stop by Buddy's on my way down. I always schedule my trip down so I can pass through Andrews when Buddy's is open! I have to get the Steak Fingers. This time I ordered extra, froze them and took them back to Durango!!! I can't get enough of them. Sell them and ship them like Omaha steaks!!!
I waited 2 years to try these steak fingers. I will be honest and tell you it was well worth the wait also the chicken fried steak was huge. Loved the gravy and a must try is the cherry limeade
I think this place used to be amazing, but they now don't serve a lot of their original menu. No chilli dogs, club sandwiches or homemade fries. Basically burgers, frozen fries and chicken strips and steak fingers. Their steak fingers are homemade and were definitely delicious. But I was disappointed in the rest of the menu or lack there of. Was hoping for a nostalgic trip to a good ol drive in, but didn't get it. I will still go back for the steak fingers if I am in town and feel like them though.

Food was excellent. No dine in. Best steakfingers in Texas in a little hole in the wall café
Their prices and menu has changed since the pictures on here… steak fingers are $10 small and $15 large. Hamburgers are $7-$10 with fries separate charge. A double meat double cheese and a single meat with cheese and two fries was $30. There’s no inside seating anymore.

I also got that recipe from granny she had wrote it down in a little black book so that I would find it one day and I did after going through my parents things after they passed away.and it read to deedee hear is your recipe hopefully it gets to you before fading out. I just laughed and cried cause I thought well I won't get the recipe now cause she went to heaven cooking steak fingers baskets in heaven.but she didn't forget me .love you granny and all that's there.love ?
I ordered 10 steak finger basket for a total of $165.08. I picked the order up at 11:30 AM. Later that day the ticket was altered to add a $20 tip without consent. I called back the following day to get the problem rectified. I was told that the boss would. Ot be in until Tuesday. I called @ 11AM on Tuesday and asked to speak to the manager. I spoke with the same lady as on Friday and she told me the manager was not available. I expressed that I wanted to get the problem resolved. She argued with me for about 5 minutes and finally transferred me to the MAIN manager. She looked into the order and found that one of their employees added the $20 to the ticket. I asked due to the circumstances I wanted my entire order refunded. Manager refused and argued. I will never order food from the place again.

Excellent food, fresh, hot, and quick. Would have been a 5 but the dining room was closed & server seemed confused. Overall great, highly recommend stopping there for the steak fingers. There are a lot in the order, one would feed two people easily.
