If I was going to complain about anything it would be the fact that it's called a bar and grill. Which made us assume that it was a super casual dress. However when we got in there it was more like a fine dining restaurant with candles etc. It was very nice and I enjoyed it. But a couple of my friends were a little uncomfortable because they felt underdressed

We enjoyed our date night out, but the bill was painful. We got the seafood bread and it literally had 2 crawfish tails on it. The New York strip was very chewy and not tender. For the price of the food, our expectations were much higher. On the menu they do not list the sizes of the steaks either. The strawberry lemon drop was awesome! The brisket bombs were so good. The crab cakes were a little too fishy for my liking. Overall, we had a nice date night, but we will try something else in the future.

Always consistently good. Friendly and efficient service. Fairly priced. There’s no doubt we will be back. I can’t remember the appetizers but one was with bow tie pasta and an Italian cheese sauce? It was delicious! We also got some type of spring roll which was also delicious. Steak was wonderful according to my wife (the Queen something or other? I had the burger for the first time and it was impressive.

Nice experience and perfectly prepared steaks. Sat in the bar area and the one bar tender, who was also our waiter, was efficient though seemed stressed and stretched to his limit. He did get some help later in our visit…

When we entered in the person was very nice. Our waitress Sara was amazing. She helped us pick our appetizer and when that came out and food she always checked on us. The food was absolutely delicious. The only problem was behind these curtains you can hear people talking and that is fine but the cursing is not okay.

Excellent food and atmosphere! We were seated at a table that wobbled pretty bad but the hostess fixed it. We also did not see our waitress for about 15 minutes after we were seated. I have never had that experience at Buddies before so I was a little disappointed.

Everything was great but do not book a reservation with them through open table as they do not utilize if. You have to call for a reservation. We booked a reservation through open table and when we arrived they didn’t have our reservation and when we said it was through open table we were told, “oh, we don’t really use that; you have to call.” We were able to get a table.

Our server was great. My steak was $13.00 MORE then what it says on the website. And my steak was not as good as it use to be. They do not offer you any bread or crackers. You can not even buy any bread, except for their $12.00 Oyster Loaf. They do not serve Baked Potatoes anymore. They do have Mashed Potatoes with the peeling in them. Yuck. The food was ok. We will not be back for a while.

Steaks were highly seasoned and overcooked. Waiter asked us to cut into our steaks and walked away before getting an answer. Got our bottle of wine more than halfway done with the meal. It was my father’s 80th birthday. I wrote it on the reservation. They said it did nothing about it. Will never visit again.
