The ribs were fantastic. I forgot to take a "before"photo so I took an "after" photo so you would know that I liked every bit of those ribs. Service was friendly and the place was casual and easy going. This is a plane to return to. read more

We hadn't had buddy's in years. Honestly we forgot about it. We went last night and got the two meat platter and it was phenomenal. Everything was delicious and the environment was great. Staff were so kind. We will be back! I was shocked more people weren't there. read more

I happened to be in the Huntington area, and eager to explore. While on foot, rummaging through all the back to school and Saturday evening tourism, an aroma of quintessential smokehouse flavor guided my nose straight to Buddy's All American BBQ. Now, I had my expectations of what my food should taste like, but was 20x more satisfied. The food was excellent, the craft beer was good and the SERVICE; yeah that alone is bringing me back next week. Mayce, Dymond and Vik (I probably butchered the spelling), were so attentive, nice and welcoming. Honestly, I wasn't sure who I was supposed to tip, because they all were extremely amazing. Like, my long, irritating day literally got turned around because of a good meal, good beer and the constant smiles/interaction and customer service! Honestly, the food could've sucked, and I would've still been satisfied from meeting kind hearted, beautifully genuine people. Butttttt, the food is FIREEEE, so go! Keep it up ladies; y'all need raises! read more

Food was ok. Ribs didn't just have bark it had burnt couldn't eat bark on the ribs. Not sure if I would come back. Service was excellent.

Went today with my sons and was disappointed. We were at least told the pulled chicken was dry and not good. Got brisket instead and it was dry and just not good, $70 check for 3 people. If your gonna have high prices you need to be ready for people and not serve half assed BBQ read more

It Bodie the wing was good. I like it because it taste good. The service was good. The manager Lauryn and Bobby are nice people and it's good atmosphere. read more

Best ribs and Best potato salad EVER!! You get alot of food for the price also. Never disappointed eating here!!! I always say the ribs are like candy. read more

My favorite restaurant!' The food is always delicious!! They are all friendly, and smiling. I usually pick up my Order at the take out window. They are extremely accommodating to any extra requests. They have a large menu with a little of everything for everyone!! They are a huge draw in Huntington. Kudos.. you are my favorite restaurant anywhere. read more

I love this place! The food, while admittedly not the healthiest in town, is consistent. I love to have the Southwest salad with lean brisket and the in-house made dill dressing. We have found the wait staff eager to please and the owners interested in feedback, often visiting tables to see how customers feel about their experience. Further, this is a wonderful restaurant for catering. They bring EVERYTHING so that the host/hostess of the event needs only to be concerned with decorating and activities for the party. It's luxurious to know that everything is taken care of with food that diners will enjoy! read more

This review is for your Milton location!!!! The service was wonderful. The girl who took our order was brand new so she couldn't answer most of my questions about the menu so that was a little confusing. But she was very nice and I appreciated the customer service. The restaurant is clean and they had ample seating. The reason I can not recommend this place is the food. The worst part, the ribs. They were so dry, I didn't know if I was eating ribs or jerky. I considered dipping them in water like ole Clark Griswold had to do with his turkey!! I'm not exaggerating one bit.... It really was that bad. The mac & cheese was flavorless. The coleslaw was sweet but had a yellow tent and too much dressing for my liking. The smoked sausage might have had a good flavor but all I could taste was char because they were so burnt. The house bbq sauce is not good. Like not at all. Ok, the pulled pork and chicken were actually good. The hush puppies are good but could use a house dipping sauce. And the star of the show.... Sweet potato fries. They're waffle fries and they sprinkle them with brown sugar. They were crispy & delicious. But that isn't enough to make me go back. Disappointed read more

This place was rough... The portions were small and expensive. They were not good. They charged an extra $4 if you order brisket. Which is nuts. The lemonade was awful. I'll be honest, this is possibly the worst bbq place I've been. Which is sad because I had high hopes. Unfortunately a $25 lunch for crap is not what I was expecting. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

This was our go to BBQ in Huntington. But, they've lost our business. They replaced their beer taps and stopped using the freezer that gave them really cold mugs. They kept the price of their large mugs but did away with the large mugs so a small beer costs what the large used to. And the last time they were switching taps and we couldn't even get our preferred brand. They changed suppliers on their fried pork rinds. The new ones were very tough. Their in house made pimento cheese was too spicy for my wife the last time. When we mentioned it, we were told they couldn't control the heat of the jalapeños they got. Perhaps true, but, if you know that's an issue and are making it from scratch, why not just try one and adjust the amounts for consistency? We left without ordering/getting anything and probably won't return. We'd been going there once or twice a month.. read more

This is a great restaurant and very well managed. I have known the owners for a very long time and they have always done the best for the community in service and food. I had an event there a couple months ago and they made it a wonderful afternoon for me and my guest, we will be back and we'll spread the word. read more

The hostess Zoey was the best! She was super knowledgeable about the menu! She was also very kind and greeted us with a BIG SMILE. We saw her bussing lots of table and you could see how hard she was working. You definitely don't see that often. Wow! Because of her we will definitely be coming back. read more

Buddy's is a large BBQ establishment high on manly decor and beer. The seven TV screens keep you up to date with any breaking news in the sporting world and the service is cordial and food is messy. It has good A/C and a covered outdoor seating area if you want to dine al fresco with your man friends. At the recommendation of the waitress, I got a regular pulled chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw and a sweet tea. The menu is pretty big, but really is just iterations of the same stuff in different forms. Unfortch for me, all the veggies are boiled, so alas, there would be no greens for the day. The sweet tea is huge and very sweet. The coleslaw was good and the pulled chicken okay, improved by the spicy BBQ sauce on the table. The meal was savory, but everything was very soft and squishy. The bun was soft, the chicken was squishy, the coleslaw was shredded very finely. The only items with texture were the tasty butter pickles. I really didn't need to chew my meal at all, which was rather disconcerting. At least the food is cheap? read more

Buddy's All American Bar-B-Que - Pulled Chicken Sandwich, as recommended by the waitress - Barbeque Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

Took a motorcycle ride and stopped. Was glad they had outdoor seating. All safe practices were Followed. Only thing is the food. Husband ordered the nachos and maybe 2 Oz of pork on it but the melted Cheese was way to much and not good tasting either. Was disappointed. Also ordered nine in wings. When they came they were deep fried not smoked and when I ask was told they only do that on Wednesdays and I said the menu said they had smoked ones. So how was I to know. This should be on the menu . Service Was Not very friendly at all. Probably won't Be back. read more

This is a very laid back place, Sweet Tea in mason jars, paper towels on the table!! I have had several things there but my favorites are..in order of course!!! Poblano cheddar soup, Deep fried banana peppers, Potato soup, pulled pork sandwich with a little coleslaw & a bit of barbecue sauce and pickles, and ....The Cuban sandwich has its own uniqueness!!! Waitresses are all great and managers are always walking around making sure your having a great visit!! Definitely one of my top picks!!! read more

Finding barbecue in West Virginia on a Sunday evening ain't easy! After passing by three places somewhat close to I-64, Buddy's was a last-ditch effort to sample barbecue in every state between Pennsylvania and Texas, and they did not disappoint! The pulled chicken and pork platter was damn good. Pork was fatty, juicy and packed with flavor. The sauce was a sweet and slightly spicy Carolina style. Hush puppies were a bit dry, but the BBQ beans were quite good. Definitely worth the detour off the interstate! read more

Buddy's All American Bar-B-Que - Pulled pork and chicken platter - Barbeque Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

I ordered the half pound bbq chicken sandwich and potato wedges. Wife ordered the pork bbq sandwich and Brunswick stew. The sandwich I ordered is the best sandwich I've had in a year before pandemic started. I'll def be ordering this again. Wife's food was really good too. The Brunswick stew is more like a western North Carolina Brunswick stew and not one that has veggies in it. read more

Excellent BBQ. From Kansas City and New York and as a first time visitor to Huntington for a concert it was a a fun experience. The owner was very gracious. Richard & Patty read more

Service was a little slow. The bbq chicken and pork were both really good. The baked beans were excellent. The slaw reminds me of KFC. Overall it's worth the stop. If you happen to be in Huntington you should give it a try. read more

Buddy's All American Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

I love this place but right now just not like going inside to eat. I'm sure it will be soon.

Solid BBQ. I had the ribs and the onion rings. The ribs were pretty good, I could have used some extra sauce however. The onion rings were better than average but not outstanding. They tasted like they were made fresh but my pet peeve is that onion was a little mushy. Hush puppies were good. Pulled pork was excellent, and potato salad was too. read more

They towed my sister's car her first day of college. Also, the lack of empathy displayed over this situation was absolutely appalling. I used to enjoy this establishment; however, after this situation I, along with my family, will no longer be giving Buddy's our business. Also, during the towing process, my little sister's car received body damage, and Buddy's told me I had to go through HPD to see their video footage. Along with all of this, the spot my little sister accidentally occupied, was not even necessary. Buddy's only had around half a dozen patrons inside at the time. This is my first negative review I've ever given a company. I am far from pleased with the management and policies of this company. read more

They messed my order up and didn't fulfil what they promised. I ordered a half a chicken meal and they only gave me a quarter when I got home I was very disappointed. I called them up and told Brandon I told the lady 3 times "half a chicken", he said he would comp me the half a chicken due to the inconvenience. When I get to the store I talk to the heavy set manager and told her Brandon said he would comp the chicken and they did not comp it. When I got the bill they only knocked off $5.00. This again is misleading so I told here again "I'm not supposed to be charged for the chicken". She said sorry that's what notes he put in. I been eating here since they opened and that's not how you treat regular customers. Won't be back since they won't honor what they said nor care about loyal customer. Thumbs down. read more

Just did the drive through as the lobby is closed. And the wings are fantastic. That with a side salad was the perfect meal.

I used to be a regular at this joint, but moved away for a few years. It still tastes divine! That having been said, my recent lunch was insanely overpriced...almost $20 for a bowl of Mac& cheese with brisket and a drink. The brisket is great, but there was a $3-4 upcharge for it! It should not be that much especially given that it is a smallish dish. I recommend watching for the charges to add up! read more

Everything here was delicious, but I was a bit disappointed with the pulled pork. However, the smoked chicken and sausage were awesome, and I was surprised with the hush puppies. So delicious! read more

Usually one of my favorite places to eat in Huntington. Not anymore. Walked in tonite about 7:30 place was not busy at all. Hadn't had a bite of food since 11 am today. My family and I were greeted and seated. We sat and we sat and we sat.. after 15 minutes of sitting and not so much as a "hello", we got up and left. Two other tables were seated after us and served while we sat and watched. I gave it a one star only because I can't give it none. My money is being spent right down the street at Fat Patty's. I'm done with Buddy's this is the second time this has happened. Poor service. read more

How did I find this place? I had the strange craving for some meat on my way from Slade, KY to Fayetteville, WV. After days in the small (nonexistent) town of Slade, I wanted some good old American BBQ, and Buddy's delivered, actually google map delivered when I searched in the 300-mile range. I had my share of BBQ, and maybe Buddy's can't compare to some of the places I been to, but it is my go to place if I ever make the same trip. The wings are very good, especially with the southwest dry-rub. They have a spicy scale. I tried their hottest sauce: The Bomb, it was hot, but compare to some hot wings I had, it will just break a little sweat from your forehead. They are big, and for $10, you can get a order of 10 wings. I ate 6 and was stuffed. My friend got the combo plate with ribs and brisket. The brisket is fatty (yummmmm), but they could use a bit more seasoning. Ribs are just as good as you can find at a decent BBQ place. Pull pork sandwich is only $6.50. Yummmy! Now on to the sides: Hush puppies: a little dry, but hey, I never like them. Potato salads: very good. Green beans: they used the really big ones, mushy, but since I like collard greens, I liked it. Beer, I was very happy to find out they have Bluemoon on tap, served with a chilled beer mug. Hooooorayyyyyy! Service is good, our waitress was on top of her sh!t. Then I suffered severe food coma for the rest of my trip. read more

Food was good for the most part. I had pulled pork, which was really good and tender. My wife had brisket - a little on the dry side. Side portions weren't necessarily generous though. We joked that John Taffer of Spike TV "Bar Rescue" would go nuts though. Tables weren't clean; our waitress - though nice - seemed a bit clueless as to drinks and the menu; the waitstaff spent more time hanging out at the bar, yammering with a drunk customer (apparently a friend or regular) who kept getting loud and swearing. One waitress kept digging her Daisy Dukes out of her crotch. It's almost like Buddy's couldn't decide if it was a BBQ joint, a sports bar, or The Legion. Draught beer selection was slim. If you're not a Bud or Bud Light fan, your choices are extremely limited. It's an okay place. Doubt we'll be back though. read more

We got a to go order last week and this week The wings were excellent . I had mild boneless buffalo and my husband had bone in teriyaki. The best part the orders were correct with the requested extra sauces we wanted and minus the ones we did boy sent . We picked up our own order . read more

Between good and great bbq depends on the days. The homemade chips with ranch dressing maybe a heart attack on a plate but it is good! The portions are good and will fill you up. Gotta try the sweeeeeeet tea! Served in old school mason jars. I've heard good thinks about the brunswick stew and beef brisket (haven't had them myself but people I trust order them each time). I've had the ribs several times and I haven't been blown away by them but the pulled pork and hushpuppies...get'er done! The location is right down the street from campus and has a home town feel. read more

I was really excited for my first experience at Buddy's. Even more excited when I saw Yelp! had a coupon for checking in. Then it all went bad. They don't honor the coupon and the food was ok at best. Brisket had a good flavor but a lot of fat. Pulled pork wasn't anything to brag about and the hush puppies were over cooked. And the sign said killer wings but they didn't have much flavor. I really wanted to like Buddy's. read more

Decent food, but know they are not the friendliest. We have eaten there fairly regularly over the years, and our car was towed literally within minutes of parking recently. We went across the street to take care of something before eating and car was gone. The tow company said they watch the parking lot, because obviously they aren't too busy with customers, and if you don't immediately go in, they tow. Common courtesy would suggest that if they have time to eagle eye the lot, they would have a second to ask our intentions. Even after speaking to management, they sincerely did not care that we were planning on eating there and had been customers for years. Such a great way to welcome long time, or any, customers to your establishment. There were plenty of open parking spots, so that was not the issue. They just lost a lot more than our tow fee. We're done. read more

Went to Buddy's for lunch while visiting Marshall Univ for work. Decent BBQ - lots of smoke flavor and good sauce although their "hot" sauce was barely that. Was surprised to see brisket featrued prominately on the menu this far north - usually don't see good brisket except in Texas! My co-worker had the nachos as an entree- a huge plate smothered in pulled pork and cheese. I didn't try any but they sure did look good. read more

I visited Buddy's twice, both times shortly before moving from Huntington earlier this month. I wish I had gone there sooner. The pulled pork sandwich is delicious and the mashed potatoes are remarkably tasty. The service was great for both meals I had there, with attentive waitresses and spot-on accuracy with the orders. My one complaint is from my first visit where trying to use the $5 off coupon with the LoyalTree Rewards app on my phone seemed to baffle the staff. I finally got the discount (and in turn tacked it onto the tip) but both my waitress and her manager seemed confused by it. This wouldn't have surprised me save for the fact that a promo for it is at the top of the front page of their website. "Download the loyaltree app for $5 off your next visit!" But, that issue aside, Buddy's a great place for a meal with a relaxed atmosphere. The sweet tea was very good, ditto for the Yuengling draft beer, and I would suggest you would have a tough time going wrong with the beverages available there. read more

Okay - STOP HERE!! OMG my husband and I are on a 2 week motorcycle trip through WV - this place was a MUST stop per the reviews!!
