I frequent this location a lot. They always have good, consistent food and the restaurant is pretty clean. The staff seem to know their roles in the store. There is always someone wiping down the tables or taking out the trash. Good customer service as well. A couple of the workers usually know what I order and they start my order as soon as I walk up. The lady in charge has been there many years and she keeps the place running smoothly. This is my favorite Buds Chicken restaurant in the area. read more

Yuck. I hate the taste of their fish. So fishy. The restaurant inside seemed dirty or at least hadn't been wiped down with disinfectant for weeks. The patrons inside liked the menu but I didn't see anything that interested me enough to go back and try another entree. read more

4/5, great service, great environment and super fast. Authentic food with good service.

the chicken, the hush puppies, potato salad & crinkle fries. This restaurant is the reason I will never be a vegetarian. When in town I must go. Small locally owned business. You must try it. read more

This is a long standing local business that is always a treat to visit. The staff is always friendly, the food is always great, and it's classic. Fried everything, how can you go wrong? My favorite is the fried fish sandwich. The fish is always perfectly fried and tasty. The sandwich always looks overstuffed and like it will fall apart. It can be a mess and that is why it's awesome. Finger food like fried chicken and fried fish sandwiches should be a mess! Sides are good too. And as always, no pics from me because I'm impatient and get to "chow down" asap. read more

Im Not sure the employees here understand common manners. Hello, thank you, please, all simple things that can change the attitude of the conversation. Also I'm not sure how this place isn't shut down it's got to be the dirtiest place I've ever walked into. The grime seeping from the walls and sinking into everything makes it a slip and slide in door. If you're going to try the food go through drive through so that you minimize any interaction with the establishment and have no insight as to the conditions of the kitchen. read more

I have lived in SOFLO for more than 30 years. I have seen Buds for I don't remember how long. The issue is it was not on my radar screen as it has been Bojangles (no longer here) Popeyes or KFC. Well I decided I wanted shrimp. No not the all bread popcorn but shrimp so I decided to give it a shot. Well surprise they were actually very good. The fries not so much, even the hush puppies were good. I would go back if I had a hankering for shrimp. read more

This is one of my favorite place to eat management very kind staff hard-working food is amazing and they truly appreciate your patience which means the world to me!!!! read more

Tartar sauce has changed its terrible. Has Buds been sold ? Been going for over 40 years.

Not the most impressive service or location to grab food, but the taste and freshness of the food might be worth overlooking the lack of joy in the staff and bare dining space. With very few choices for a quick fried chicken that's not over cooked, this is a good spot to try. read more

Bud's Chicken is the best, this location has always been great with polite staff. One of my favs

Customer service is absolutely atrocious Purchased food ask for receipt was completely ignored and never given the receipt. When received food finally asked if our sauce was in the box and was snidely told if it's on the receipt then it should be in there well we didn't get a receipt and it wasn't in there read more

This place used to be good with down to earth wholesome owners. Now I guess they are just cutting corners and budgets just like all the other CROOKED food chains in south Florida. Management offered a free lunch coupon... LOL so I can get another chicken nugget kids meal 0 STARS read more

Bud's Chicken and Seafood - 10$ lunch bunch RIP OFF FALSE ADVERTISEMENT - Seafood Near Me - North Palm Beach, Florida

This place has some of the best comfort food in South Florida. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and make a trip! My wife likes the fried fish, and I'm partial to the fried chicken myself. Usually the quickie version of each meal is enough for us to eat. The dinners have a lot of food! We often get extra helpings of the tartar and honey mustard sauces. Although not the fanciest fare, Bud's has a permanent place in my heart for comfort food. Always delicious! read more

Decided to go here after reading an online article praising their food. The author of the article must have been paid to write it. This was one of the worst restaurants I have her had the displeasure of eating at. For two people it cost $30. I had chicken finger dinner and Hubbie had chicken and shrimp. Both meals were disgusting! My husband loves fried chicken so if he doesn't eat it then you know for sure something is wrong. The chicken from both meals was barely warm and it was so very dry and bland. The mashed potatoes were instant and actually the better of the items we had (not saying much). The macaroni salad was just pasta in mayonnaise with raw green peppers. The Mac and cheese looked and tasted as if it had been sitting around for several weeks. The corn fritters were cold and tasteless with whole pieces of corn in them. The sweet tea tasted as if it was rancid. One bite of each item and it all went into the garbage. They have very limited condiments and keep them all behind the counter so you have to ask for them and they were not happy when we asked. They do not carry butter which seems weird as they sell mashed potatoes. It took 20 minutes to get this nasty food ( no one ahead of us)? The employees were just standing around gossiping the majority of the time we were there. Wouldn't be surprised if this place closed down soon due to the poor quality of food and service. Don't dare ask for napkins either they will tell you they don't have them even though you can see the box right there behind the counter. Would not feed this slop to an animal let alone a human. They could not have paid me enough money to eat this food let alone to write an article saying it was good. read more

Okay, so, my brother from another mother introduced me to Bud's, and holy sh!t was he every right about the best fried chicken from a fast food joint in Florida. Sits right next door to Col. Sander's joint on Northlake. These guys are killing it. The chicken or fish will put a smile or your face and light up your tastebuds. Go! Just Go! read more

It's lunch time today I'm in Northlake and had a taste for some French fries. Did I mention they have the best tarter sauce. Happen to see Mrs. Emily and Jr. Picked up couple of boxes of chicken for the week. The staff still as pleasant as always. Great job to Lisa and her crew. read more

Great Fish & Shrimp for fast food-as good or better than most nice sit down restaurants I've been to, will definitely go back for more

Ok I get it. It's a pandemic. But the food doesn't have to look nor taste like it. I have senior neighbors I go and get food for. Today was no different and it's Memorial Day. I ordered a 2 pc dinner white. They don't have wings. Fine. Substitute for a leg. After getting the food, I wasn't able to check it right away due to the heavy rain. Once I reached my destination to check before I give it out, let's just say my neighbor already has dentures and to have her attempt to bite into this hard fried dried up chicken is beyond torture. If you're going to leave a bunch of minors on the schedule at least properly train them in customer service. Ty for reaching out I've emailed you the information read more

Love Bud's Chicken and Seafood! This was our family dinner every Friday night after my dad would get off of work. I would look forward to it as a little kid. Now, 40 years later, every time I visit S. FL, this is my first stop to kill that craving of what I think is the best fried chicken ever. I've tried other chicken restaurants and have only found 2 places that are a distant second. I would love to see this family owned restaurant expand to others parts of FL and into GA, it would definitely be a hit... no doubt. If you haven't tried it, give it a try, and get the "corn balls" (is what I called them as a kid) and awesome potato salad... don't forget the Chicken! read more

I absolutely love the food and I have never had a problem with the quality or the taste or anything I just wish that fast food was still FAST. there have been so many times that I have stopped here over the last two years and I have had to sit in the drive-through for over 25 minutes for a single meal on my way to do what i need to do. unfortunately very inconvenient because I do love the food more than any other fast food place I've ever been to but is it really worth it to sit in a line for half an hour ? i give the food a 10/10 and the service a 4/10 however still deserves 4 stars for always keeping up with their quality. read more

First time visit and.......I must say it was pretty darn tasty. I like that they had a drive thru and there was a little but of a wait, it moved pretty quickly. I opted for the shrimp/fish combo which came with 4 hand battered shrimp, 2 fish fillets, 2 corn fritters, fries, and Cole slaw all for $9. The shrimp were delicious! They were a nice size not popcorn or heavily battered. The corn fritters were awesomeness, the fish fillets were just ok. Just a heads up everything on the menu is fried. Lol. Definitely a place to splurge on calories. A lot of bang for your buck. I say check them out if you are on the fence. read more

So this place is old, needs to have a serious make over, is super slowI, and boy do I mean slow! Bud's chicken is a place we've been going as long as it's been there. Their chicken is is moist, but needs more or better seasoning! We've only tried the shrimp here once and it was so rubbery we should've used it as a bouncy ball not as a food item. The fries are never salted and we stopped buying them after the last time they were cold, soggy, and tasteless. They use no name brand except for soda which is a huge turn off for me. The quality of their products is all very generic and tasteless except for their tarter sauce which is good. We come here for the fritters, which are normally very delicious, and they really are the best around. They have real corn inside of them, and they are great pipping hot. We ordered a few dozen for football Sundays and our family love them! Most of the staff seem blah I don't know how else to explain it. They aren't overly friendly, they are doing their job and that is that. Lastly they are incredibly SLOW (like a sloth that's asleep... kind of slow) We spent almost 15 minutes in line to get a dozen fritters today and we only had two cars ahead of us! So they definitely need to work on their time in the drive through. Although their sleepy slothness isn't exclusive to their drive through their inside times are just as long. Anytime we've ever gone in to get food it's been the same thing we've had 15 minute wait every time. I would definitely say Publix has better chicken, but you really can't be there fritters. Maybe once this place gets a external and internal overhaul they will be better read more

I always enjoy Buds when I come. Staff is always friendly and customer service is always great! Food is always fresh and tasty! I love that they have a diverse menu, chicken or seafood, you can't miss! Fritters and fries have to have tartar sauce!!! read more

This Buds is the WORSE! I was there in the pouring rain gave my order in the drive through and they took their time to answer. To add insult to injury my order was wrong! I told the young lady and without opening her mouth she took my bag and corrected it, she handed me back my bag and as I drove off it was still wrong. The staff is young, unprofessional, and I'll never go there again. My food seemed to be cooked in old grease as well so I threw it out. This place is HORRIBLE! read more

Haven't had fried chicken in forever and thought I would finally give Bud's a shot since I pass bye it all the time. Should have passed bye one more time and save myself from what I just ate. Ugh. Got the chicken tender dinner since three is just not going to cut it for a lunch. Positives is that for $10.50, it wasn't that bad of a price and for people with smaller appetites the lunch specials are priced well and the hush puppies were pretty good. Negatives: Pretty much everything else. There is no quality here. Generic everything. Generic mayo? Red Gold Ketchup?, hot sauce? Makes me wonder about the rest of the food I just ate. Rather pay another $0.50-$1 more to have better quality. Ton of food but zero flavor in the breading,Coke slaw was pretty much chopped cabbage and carrots, no salt or pepper on the fries, I asked for a Coke and was given Pepsi(didn't tell me it was Pepsi products). Disappointed. I really wanted to like Bud's. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I ordered a fish and shrimp combination dinner. One of the two fish filets was way over cooked, making it dry and barely edible. The second filet was better. The shrimp were ok. I enjoyed the fritters. The cocktail sauce was mostly frozen, degrading the experience. The interior of the restaurant could use a major remodel. read more

So I've noticed the food quality has been a lot better lately and the service a lot friendlier. Minus a star for never putting napkins or plasticware in the bag or even offering it,,for that matter. But they are improving again. read more
