The best wings around ! Friendly service and a fun atmosphere . Would definitely recommend

Ordered food for pick up tonight, had the bison bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings. The burger was great! Perfectly cooked and lots of bacon on top!!! Both the fries and onion rings were great! Look forward to returning and trying other items on the menu. read more

So much fun!!!! My first time in Buford. Thanks for the warm welcome. Trivia night is great

It was good but not great. I had fish and chips. My companion had Fourth of July burger and tater tots. Tater tots came room temperature (and he paid extra for them). Fries were not much warmer. Burger was tasty. Would order again. Fish was not good. Over cooked and heavily breaded. Would not order again. Good atmosphere. Lots of TVs around the restaurant so it would be great on a football Sunday, etc. Also did not have Coke products, only Pepsi which is an automatic ding in my opinion. Luckily the iced tea (requested half and half sweet/unsweetened) was tasty. Service was kind of slow but staff was friendly. Would give a try again But would not be my first choice in the area. Had planned to go somewhere else that wound up being closed on Mondays. read more

Great attention to detail. I ordered a drink from the bar and it was a nice pour. I gave specific instructions and she did exactly what I asked. Titos on rocks with very little rocks. Taylor, the bartender definitely knows how to treat the customer. I met some patrons at the bar that were sitting next to me and they were quite friendly and nice as well. The bartender needed some assistance in the back with replacing a keg, and the gentleman actually got up and went to help her. It was kind of shocking to see a patron do that, but the wife said that they have been coming here for 3+ years and spend at least 2-3 times a week eating / drinking here (and him (the husband), even more days). The food that we ordered was a special. buy 10 wings, get 10 wings free. My buddy arrived and we ordered 10 Teriyaki wings (wet), and 10 Cajun wings (dry), as well as a side order of fried Okra. The fried okra came out first and was a decent order. The wings came out shortly afterwards, and though we were in a rush, they were pretty quick to get us our food (ended up being close to 15 minutes from seating (at the bar) to getting the food and bill paid. We weren't able to enjoy the atmosphere that much due to having a prior engagement., however was told that they have a trivia night on Thursdays. I will say, if you are going for Trivia (starts at 6), get there early, as the parking lot gets pretty packed by then. Next time I'm there, I will aim to try one of their burgers, as they are supposedly known for their delicious burgers. read more

See all

We've eaten here before and really liked it. But because of our experience tonight, I doubt we'll be back. Food was good, service was very disappointing. It was trivia night so we were asked to move to a different table because they said the one we sat at was reserved. Well there was no sign there. Then our server ended up sitting down next to the people that came to sit at the table we used to occupy. She spent more time chatting it up there than assisting us and others. My water cup was empty for awhile so I asked another server that picked up one of our dishes for some water. He said sure but never brought it. A few minutes later our server came by and said "ready for your check" and was real short with us. She dropped it on our table then went to sit at the table with the people at the reserved table. She never came back so we took the check to the hostess stand to pay. What a bizarre, rude experience. I guess you have to be friends of someone at this restaurant to be treated civilly. I guess that's why it's called "Friends". read more

Came on Trivia night and had a blast! friendly service and staff!

Here for a staff dinner. Great food and wonderful staff! I ordered the 4th of July Burger.

This place is amazing! Elyssa was the best! She was super attentive and welcoming! Highly recommend coming here!

Best vibes in town! Friendly staff, good food and cold drinks! Thanks for the hospitality, Melissa!

After looking over menus of the restaurants in the area, Friends drew me in with their pickle chips & zesty sauce which were so fresh and delicious they left me saying, "that's hot!" Like the LA girl enjoying my southern favorite cuisine that I am. Paris Hilton herself would approve of this place and give it the five star rating it deserves. Elyssa's service was impeccable and I will be back any time I'm in town! Veggie friends, the Beyond burger hits the spot! Trust! read more

We love the boneless honey bbq wings!!! We have ordered them a dozen times and they never disappoint!!!! We have had great service too!

The Food , service, ambiance is great and fun trivia games . Good place to go with friends

Came in for dinner with some friends, really cool atmosphere and the food and drinks were really awesome! The service was exceptional! Our server Carrie was really nice and attentive. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I've been a regular for several years. Misty the new general manager is great! Great food and service! I recommend wing night! Best wings ever!! read more

Atmosphere and food is top notch! Our server was great too! Definitely recommend the pretzel as an appetizer! Steak wedgie and wings are a good choice also! read more

Friends Buford Grill - Not only is this the biggest pretzel I've ever had... but by far the best tasting too!!! - Burgers Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Ate here last night and got super sick a couple hours later. Had the shrimp and grits. Won't return.

My husband and I loved our meals and beers here the other night. We happened upon this place after plans to go to another restaurant fell through. It was a happy accident. My husband loved his wings, and my bison burger was great. We can't stop thinking about the pretzel appetizer though. So delicious! Love the bumper stickers on the tables, too. I like patronizing like minded places. read more

This place is NOT worth your hard earned money. The waitress ( service) was fantastic. The food is freezer food from Kroger. These people need to visit Charleston or NYC. I left a 4O% tip and still. WS treated like barn staff. Not go! read more

What an unbelievable lunch at Friends Buford Grill, French dip with sautéed mushrooms and onions fresh off the grill. Katie and Bruce will took excellent care of this first time guest. read more

First time going here ! The service was very good . Quick service and friendly . The food was also very good and there were no complaints from any of us . The food was at the right temperature and great presentation . It's definitely a place I would go back. Thanks read more

Tots and fries were good. Wings were incredibly dry. Service was slow. I can tell if service is good if my drink stays full. It didn't, and Our waitress rarely stopped by to ask for more. The stickers on the table were good. But after tonight, never again. read more

My wings are never crispy even though I say "extra extra crispy" every single time, it's ridiculous to be honest. They used to make them perfect every time, truly a shame, used to be one of my favorite spots. read more

About a month ago my husband and I found ourselves at the Friends location In Dawsonville. We had an excellent visit and decided to see if lightning could strike twice, so we stopped into the Buford location. Let's just say we were quite pleased with the results. Our food was not only delicious, but plentiful. (I personally LOVE their French fries!) Our waitress, Moana, was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Now I just need a location to open a little closer to McDonough. read more

Stick to the menu! I made the mistake of ordering a double cheeseburger with provolone. My wife ordered a hamburger with no cheese. I received a single with yellow cheese and my wife received a burger with cheese. Waitress was apologetic and said she should have "listened harder." Cook came out and apologized and said a double wasn't on menu. Through it all I'll go back and drop another $75 for the six of us because I like the food; especially the burgers. I know this business is tough but for what these restaurants pay on rent I'd be bringing my "A" game everyday. I'd hate to see another business close in Buford because of poor management. read more

Friends had told me about this place being good in other locations so when it opened in Buford recently, I was looking forward to trying it out. Definitely won't be going back to this location. I was surprised to see that the sides are not included in the dishes, not that I could see anyway. So you order your sandwich and if you want fries or another size, you order that separately. Usually burgers or sandwiches come with a side, but it didn't appear to be that way, certainly not with the quesadillas or tacos. I went with the black and blue quesadilla which is steak and blue cheese. The tortilla was very soggy and falling apart on the bottom, I'm not even sure they put it in a pan at all. Seemed the tortilla was just soft and raw, not crisp as it should be for a quesadilla. The steak was in square chunks, not slices so it didn't make for a very uniform, full quesadilla. Felt like I was eating a half a quesadilla and the other half empty tortilla. Odd choice to use square chunks of steak. I'm a huge crumbled blue cheese / gorgonzola fan but whatever brand of blue cheese they use here, not very good. Had an odd taste to it. Went with the $3.95 Sweet Potatoes fries on the side. Undercooked and not overly tasty. Definitely not worth the price. Finally I went with two new clients and we were seated directly under a speaker which was playing music too loud to be able to talk comfortably. I understand, sports bar, music, etc... but it was lunch time, no game on, weekday. The waitress apologized multiple times and said the manager said absolutely no to turning down the music. In fact the best part of the entire meal was the waitress. She was very pleasant and tried her best to make us happy. But there is much better food in this area, I know they just opened but it was a very underwhelming experience, nowhere near worth the $45 for 3 people. I can't recommend this location at all. read more

The food is typical, nothing great or outstanding The service was extremely poor. The girl tried very hard but seemed to "misplace" or food ...twice ! The manager seemed more concerned with setting up for a larger party than handling our service issue. He offered the "free dessert" option to apologize but too little too late read more

Walked in at 7:30 and the floor was covered in food and tables not cleaned. Food was gross. I'll never be back.

We've lived near here for almost three years and recently started coming here more. I have to say, I'm sad we didn't come here more. It's got great food, fun laid back atmosphere, and good prices. Love the monte cristo! And the brownie dessert is amazing! So glad they're only 10 minutes from my house. read more

I have been eating at this location 2 or 3 times a week for the last couple of months and the food has always been great until now. I was there last night for dinner and then ate lunch there today and both times my sandwich was soggy and put together horribly and today in addition to my soggy sandwich my tater tots were stale. Not sure if there is a new chef or what's changed but I probably will not go back. read more

We were traveling to GA for a soccer tournament and needed a restaurant that could accommodate a soccer team plus parents. Friends American Grill were happy to host us and the entire experience was great! Lots of great choices on the menu, plenty of good seating and amazing wait staff. Service was exceptional and the food came out really quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for people looking for a great place for groups to eat. read more

Small grill and bar. Had lunch with a friend here. We both got buffalo tenders and they were pretty good. Not the best I have ever had but a good lunch. Good place to hang out with the friends. Parking was easy and Buford is a nice area. Server was hospitable. I'll go back when a football game is on. read more

Friends never disappoints... The staff is great,food is yummy, it is always clean and tidy. Anytime my family visits from sc I make sure we go to friends. Plus they have bogo wigs on Thursday. You have to go to get some of the best food in town! read more

I love the fact that I can choose anything on the menu and eat for free on my birthday. What I don't love is the frozen brussels sprouts that have been candied. You can totally tell they have been are frozen because they are soggy. Also, my steak had a lot of gristle. read more

Great food - especially BOGO Wed nights for wings! Awesome atmosphere and servers as well. Definitely worth the money!

One of the best steaks I've ever put in my mouth. Delicious Smokey flavor. Perfectly grilled and a great of cut of meat. I usually have to trim the fat. Not this time. Definitely coming back for the steak again. Didn't even need the steak sauce I asked for. read more

My family and I have been to this location on multiple occasions and they have never disappointed. We are always quick to be seated and our waitress is always friendly and attentive. My husband and I have tried the burgers which are as good as any in the area, but the wings cannot be beat! We have been to "Wings Wednesday" a couple of times and it is usually busy but our wings come out fast and are so good! This location is also kid friendly which adds to the family atmosphere. There are TV's surrounding the dining area so you don't miss a game! True definition of a sports bar in the Buford area. The staff is what makes this location stand out! We will definitely continue coming to this spot! read more

Overpriced. Service needs some training. Over cooked food. Was disappointed but what do u expect when it doesn't look like there are any adults running the place. read more

I ordered chicken from here Togo. There were tendons and the flavor was very bland. I will not buy from here. Crappy bar food. 3 stars since the Chicken is all I tried. Unfair for 1 star. read more

Came here on Wednesday to try the buy 10 get 10 wings free special. The place is definitely kid/family friendly. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the queso as an appetizer. I would not recommend it because it's not much thicker than the water I was drinking. We got 20 wings, half house flavor and half garlic parm. The garlic parm was pretty bad, lacked any real flavor of garlic or parmesan. The house flavor is pretty awesome though. We'll be back and will try the other appetizers and wing flavors and I may update my review then. From a price point, $18 (before tip) for 20 wings and cheese dip. That's still a win in my book. read more
