I give it 5 Stars, not because it's a 5 Star high dollar dining experience; but because it's a 5 Star experience for what it is: Old school North Carolina piedmont local food and dining experience. The staff is very friendly. You will be well taken care of, Carolina style. The breakfast never disappoints! I've had lunch there once out of the 4 times I have visited when in town, and my lunch was good also. I got a 4 vegetable plate. Don't believe the negative reviews. Those people just need to stick to cookie cutter chain restaurants, where every thing is the same. Maybe YOU won't love this place, but it's always packed out... which tells you a whole lot of people DO love it! Just understand what it is: a slice of North Carolina small town life, that has been feeding local families for a good long while now.

I haven't been there now in probably 4 years and decided to go the other week with my family to have breakfast I had a liver mush scrambled eggs a biscuit and breakfast rice.

I will never waste my money there again!!!

I've visited this restaurant multiple times and the food is pretty good. I've tried the Philly…read morecheesesteak, chicken wings, sweet potato fries, and homemade fries. However, my recent customer service experience completely changed my opinion of this place. About 2-3 weeks ago, I ordered wings and they forgot to include my blue cheese dressing. I only ate a couple wings because I'm someone who likes dipping sauce with my food. So unfortunately, the rest of the wings went to waste. Today, I returned and politely explained the situation to the staff. I simply asked if they could provide an extra blue cheese this time due to the previous mistake. The cashier went to get the manager, Taylor, who informed me that I would need to have a "credit" on my account in order to receive the blue cheese dressing. She explained that I should have called the same day the mistake happened. I was honestly shocked by the response. As a returning customer who tips every visit, I expected a much better level of customer service and professionalism. I even asked if my tip could be refunded due to the poor service experience, and that request was DENIED as well. What's disappointing is this entire situation could have been resolved easily with a simple cup of blue cheese dressing. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily difficult. The food may be good, but great restaurants also provide quality customer service and value loyal customers. Sadly, this experience left a bad impression on me. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good customer service alongside their food.

We heard about this place from a woman at Harris Teeter and knew it was a no frills joint…read morebeforehand. But she raved about the food and pricing so we decided to check it out for lunch one day. I'm all for a dive spot so none of that bothers me in the slightest. My only issue was that the food wasn't seasoned AT ALL. I ordered the fried fish sandwich and fries, super simple. Not a lick of salt, pepper, onion powder, nothing. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I ate about half and was all set. My boyfriend ordered the bacon burger and loved it. I took a bite and it was delicious. I don't know what happened with my meal but hey. The place was packed though. I don't think I'd eat here again. Besides the bland food the inside was pretty in need of some upgrades. The ceiling above our table was falling apart and dark brown, not very appetizing. The staff was there but with no smiles or happy tidings. Just an odd experience for us. We ate quickly and left.

I am more of a lunch person, but my two friends were able to order breakfast before the cut off at 11:00. Their daily breakfast special for $7.99 is a great deal. Our waitress, Amber, was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Since it was my first visit, I followed her suggestions and chose the chicken tenders with okra and mac and cheese. Having the bread option of hush puppies was a nice surprise. I would return to Buddy's just to have the hush puppies again. Their homemade ranch was delicious with the lightly breaded chicken tenders and the okra was so good. Okra is not something I order often, but I really enjoyed it. The decor is very interesting. I can appreciate all of the old time touches and the variety of taxidermy animals. I am sure my 7 year old would be fascinated. Overall, a fantastic first experience. Will definitely return.

It was kind of out of the way for us, but who can resist a new barbecue joint?…read more Parking is a little tricky but we found a good spot and were quickly seated. I went with the pork platter and my daughter got the pork nachos. It was just the right amount of food. There are four sauces to choose from. I liked the St Louis sauce best. The hush puppies are huuuge. I ordered red slaw but what I got wasn't red. It was still really good. The baked beans had a nice smoky flavor, but not sweet like you usually find at restaurants. All in all the food and service were really good. I recommend it whole heartedly.

We were looking for lunch in Kannapolis when we drove past this place and my husband pointed it…read moreout. We had just missed the lunch rush so we thought it was perfect timing. We were immediately greeted by two lovely, very personable ladies who told us to sit anywhere we wanted. It looked small when you first walked in until you realize if you go around the corner there's a huge back room. The place was very clean and the smell of the barbecue smoke was absolutely intoxicating. If I wasn't hungry before, I sure was when I walked in that door. Everything on the menu looked good and it was hard to make a decision. Our waitress brought over a sample of red slaw when she heard that we had never heard of it before. It's, I guess, tomato based? It had a very interesting taste. Our food came out soon after we ordered. I had ordered the smoked chicken, and was given the choice of sauce on or off. I'm glad I ordered it off because I was not a fan of the sauce (too sweet). Please give my photo a little grace, smoked chicken is not the most prettiest food in the world, but that chicken was so tender and moist, it literally was falling off the bone. Absolutely one of the best smoked chicken I have ever had. It did not need any sauce at all. (There was sauce at the table, vinegar and two others, but I wasn't a fan of those either.) My husband's ribs were sauced, and very sticky, but that rib meat was falling off the bone too. So tender and moist, it was delicious. For the sides, fried okra is always a hit and they did not disappoint. Hubby ended up ordering the white slaw and it was good. I had the macaroni and cheese and it was better than a lot of other barbecue places. A surprise hit were the hush puppies. In our area of NC, hush puppies are crescent shaped, but these were the traditional round, fat, crunchy, and tasty ones that we adore. Also included on a plate are really savory, cold dill pickles that help cut all that lovely savory fat from the barbecue foods. We ate half of our food, and boxed up the rest to bring home. And then our lovely waitress talked us into dessert. They had refrigerated desserts, cookies, all sorts of really nice looking goodies. My husband had the banana pudding, which he loved. I had something called "Cherry Yum Yum"that was like a cherry cheesecake trifle dessert - absolutely decadent. Yes, after a couple bites we put the lid on and brought those home too. According to their sign, they just opened this year. I highly recommend this place for a good atmosphere and good food. I wish them success.
