    Orange Roughy w/ side Broccoli
    Dana S.

    First time trying Bud's Place. My parents took me recently discovered it and are now fans, so they were excited to take me here. My first impression on walking in was that the place was so cozy! Warm wooden interior, lots of pictures and (for lack of a better word) knick-knacks on the walls, stained-glass hanging lamps, and festive holiday decoration. We arrived shortly after 6 on a Thursday and were seated right away, but it kept getting busier after we arrived and I think there was a group or two waiting when we left. But our waitress was very nice and didn't rush us at all! Food was excellent! The salad and bread was a good start - the house Italian dressing was very vinegary which I like, and although the bread didn't look like anything special, it was fresh and warm and soft inside, and delicious soaked with that dressing. I had the Orange Roughy for my entree. The fish was flaky and the crab meat stuffing was tender and rich, and with the sauce, every bite seemed to melt in my mouth. So good! Everyone's entree came out freshly cooked and piping hot. Finally, I finished with the Homemade Cheesecake with strawberry sauce, which was also mind-blowingly good. The texture was uniquely both fluffy and creamy. The crust was angel food cake which was really cool! With the strawberries it reminded me of strawberry shortcake. Also it was a huge slice, you could definitely split it two ways and still get a good serving. I had to get some help from my parents to finish mine even though I was tempted to just keep going. The prices here are really good value for the large portions and quality of what you get. The food could have been from an upscale place and we all left very full. Note that if you're not a meat-eater, it's definitely possible to get a good meal here, but you'll just have to be careful. Their signature pasta sauce is made with pork (which is explained in their story on the front of the menu but not inside with the item descriptions), and the salad contains pepperoni(?) slices by default (which the menu does not tell you) - so choose something without the red sauce, and I'd recommend letting your server know you want to avoid meat. When I asked my waitress about meat in the sauce, she went to the kitchen to check, but I didn't ask about the salad because I didn't know, so my salad did come out with meat, which was okay because my dad wanted it, but I wish there was a note in the menu. That tiny touch would raise my rating to 5 stars!

    Inedible the next morning... the dog wouldn't even eat it!

    Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. Too thin, not enough sauce or cheese, and the sausage topping was like a fine dust. It was flavorless at best. Oh and "we don't take credit cards "... Hate those words in todays world. So the $20 pizza now has an additional 1.50 for the ATM.. I remember now why I stopped going to Bud's 20 years ago.

    First time trying veal Parm and it was delicious! Their house made spaghetti was some of the best I've ever had. Excellent service as well. Also had a Shirley Temple which reminded me of my childhood.

    Buds Place take out tonight!

    Buds Place is wonderful wonderful wonderful! My favorite dish is the pork chop Melanase. Very generous portions of delicious grilled pork with mushrooms. The Italian dressing for salads is homemade and super delicious. My husband enjoys the homemade bread and the chicken Parm again huge portions and very delicious! The wait staff is always nice!

    Absolutely amazing! How have I lived in the Binghamton area for 41 years and not been to Bud's Place before? I had the marinated chicken with rice pilaf and it was outstanding. Nicely marinated and cooked to perfect! My guest had pizza and it was an old school delicious yummy pizza or. Nice warm bread served with dinner along with a fresh salad. Prices are good, portions are huge, and quality is outstanding!

    Want a cool place to hang? This is a place you must try. Atmosphere is great, both inside and…read moreoutside. The beers, ciders and wines are fantastic . Im a stout girlie, but it is the wrong season for that. But... I made out fine with a tart cider. Since they brew their beer themselves- makes perfect sense to focus on ipas and lagers right now. The food is amazing. Hubby and I got a cheesesteak and the Don Don, honey chicken sandwich. We've gotten them before. By far, in our opinion, the best stuff on the menu. But everything is freaking good. Friends, we were with, had a pizza, and other sandwiches. Everybody raved about what they got. Menu is big enough for a great variety. Seriously FOMO is real. You are missing out if you haven't gone. If the weather is cooperating throw a captain chair in your car and experience the kinda late spring in Bingo. So happy this place is here and that the owner is a cool dude.

We had the smoked sausage which was delicious and the roast pork, which was fabulous and the beers were amazing. I highly recommend Presence 2. A neighboring bar mate gave us a taste of the pizza, which was also great. Great service great beer great food & awesome vibes. Stop by
