It is a shared lot with several businesses and a hotel. But there are spots designated for just Buddy's Burgers, since the hotel is right there.

They were seasoned well and had great flavor. I love all the options for already crafted burger options. There are many choices to choose from Their burgers come with two patties, but you can get one patty burgers if you dons want all that. The serving size was plentiful. The toppings for the burgers were fresh, and the cheese was a nice thick slice. I also ordered the chicken fingers. Those chicken fingers were amazing. There was good flavor and the had some outer crispy which I like. The menu has options and it is not just burgers. Seating was enough for a few customers.

The dinning room is dirty, unairconditioned, and they only had 6 chairs and a few tables in the entire dinning room (I assume because their too lazy to clean)! The owner is apparently too lazy to make unsweet iced tea, even though it's on the menu and a single cup more than pays for the whole vat. THREE TIMES when placing my order I specifically said UNSWEET iced tea...even when she repeated back to me the order and said "and an iced tea" I said "yes, unsweet please." I get my order, its sweet tea, and the cashier says that location doesn't make unsweet. Utterly ridiculous! You could have just made a batch for me right there since it only takes two minutes to pump out 24oz worth, and again, my single order pays for the whole vat (unsweet tea is by far the cheapest highest margin menu item). Unsweet tea is prominently displayed on the menu! This location also has plexiglass partitions that makes it very hard for the cashiers to hear, and also obstruct the menu. Icing on the cake is they forgot my biscuit :(

Had a weird and bad experience during the BBQ hours (we've also been here for breakfast/brunch)…read more Getting our orders taken was very slow and then it took a full hour to get our meals with only 3 tables being served. The fried pickle spears were not good; I was overcharged ($5 more than what shows in the snack section of the menu); and it was not served as an appetizer in spite of specifying that "we'd like to start with..." The hot chicken sandwich was fine but nothing special. And the brisket burrito couldn't be eaten with my hands like a normal burrito because a slice of cheese was melted on the outside and BBQ sauce was squirted on the outside. P.S. We were never offered any sauces, which is odd for BBQ. (We did come in toward the end of the shift, so I've tried to be fair with a 3.)

I prefer seeded roll but I still enjoyed the cheesesteak. Strange how they asked me which cheese i wanted but not the bread. The chicken cutlet sub was delish. However the cutlet was chopped up. A cutlet to be chopped up on a sliced completely open sub roll. What a disaster with nothing to bind it together! First time for that and what a mess it was ! Probably would've been good chopped in a wrap or on a salad. It was my first time. Now I know. Next time i'd get seeded roll for cheesesteak and ask to not chop up the cutlet. Delicious food.

Many restaurants place great emphasis and effort on the grand opening to garner good reviews and then drop their quality of service and food over time. This wasn't the case at First Watch. My wife and I visited First Watch a year ago on the day after Thanksgiving and were delighted by the quality of food and service, specifically the thoughtfulness and attention to detail from the staff so much so that we had to return one year later. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our hostess who lead us to our table where our family was already seated. Our server promptly arrived to offer beverages, take our orders, and answer questions. As we waited, the manager greeted us at our table and asked if there was anything we needed while our orders were being prepared. The restaurant was well lit with natural lighting and spacious as we remembered it a year ago. The menus were clear and offered a good selection of entrees, sides and daily specials. I ordered the Farmhouse Hasher with eggs over easy. My wife ordered one of the specials -- the double crunch breakfast tacos. Both were brought to us promptly. My wife loved the tacos and said she hadn't had such great tacos like that in quite a while. The farmhouse hasher was as I remembered it - the potatoes were cooked and seasoned perfectly; the bacon nice and crispy; and eggs over easy delicious. This will be our annual day-after-Thanksgiving morning tradition from now on!
