It was time for Bestfriend and I to go eat and he said he wanted to eat American. As I wanted to try somewhere new, I hopped on Yelp and performed a search and came across Three Buddies. Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat. Chicken Sandwich: Meaty Perfectly Fried Well Seasoned Fresh Fixins Buttered Bun Crispy Outside - Moist Inside 10/10 Onion Rings: The BOMB Crunchy Tender Onion Well Seasoned Great Homemade Ranch Dip Well Seasoned Huge 10/10 Three Buddies was truly an amazing experience. This is my new hidden gem for date night. I will definitely be back again very soon. This place is low key and fitting for a good meal and relaxed environment. The price point of the food at Three Buddies is perfect as the portions are filling and the food is high quality. Good food. Good service. Good prices. It's an all around great place. read more

This place has the most random menu items but it somehow works. I really dislike massive menu's and when restaurants don't know what they specialize in but this place is different. It's 2 pages but the items are eclectic. I've had wings, tacos, cheese steak, fried chicken sandwich, and tikka sandwich here. They were all good. None of it was amazing, but they were all solid. The tacos were American tacos with lots of lettuce and cheese. As far as sides go, I've had tater tots, hush puppies, onion rings, chole chickpea soup, and naan. Same thing, everything is solid but nothing really stood out. The service is good and the ambiance is pretty casual. Would I come here again? Sure. I like the food here. read more

I was working late and needed to grab some food for the home stretch. This place was close by so I decided to order a burger and fries through the Yelp App. I decided on the Mexican burger and placed the order to be picked up by 4::30. I got there around 4pm to see if I could go ahead and pick up the food ahead of schedule and the nice guy told me he would go ahead and put the order in. The wait was about 15 minutes and then I was back at work. It's located close to Chamblee Tucker/Buford Hwy next door to a massage parlor. The restaurant has its own parking lot and it was clean and nicely decorated. They have a nice array of menu items from burgers to tacos to pasta. They also have ice cream! Mexican burger was not what I expected at all! It came with avocado and slices of green bell peppers with Mexican seasoning...dats it! The description in the online menu doesn't say it comes with avocado or peppers and although the burger was ok, it's not something that I would recommend or get again. The fries were crispy and seasoned well. Definitely recommend! Looking forward to trying their other burgers and menu items. read more

Really thick and delicious burgers! Ordered takeout via Grubhub for pick up and it took a bit longer than expected. Didn't realize how busy they'd be on a Friday lunch but makes sense - everything is made fresh and to order. Got the signature with bacon & grilled onions as well as a double burger. Both were great & meaty. Loved the grilled onions. Didn't realize the signature was 3 patties so my husband was super full and couldn't finish! Portions are huge. I enjoyed my seasoned fries while some were a bit soggy & he liked his onion rings. The batter on the rings fell apart/cracked really easily though so it was hard to hold. Would def return and just expect to wait. This is going to be our regular burger spot! read more

I don't know the exact reason I bookmarked this place, but it was on here so there must be a reason. And so I suggested it when the group wanted a spot to eat. And we always ended up at Asian spots so I thought why not here. The menu seemed diverse: not only having pizza, burgers, and wings but there's also sandwiches, platters, and fried rice. I am a classic girl at moments so I went with the fried chicken sandwich but with the Hawaiian twist. That sandwich was piled so high and super messy to eat. That pineapple slice made the sandwich more moist and sticky. It was a thick chicken piece so it's hearty and filling. The hubs went for the tikka sandwich which appears to be the most unique. Since it's the paneer version, it was crumbly and dry. Though it was good, the sandwich can be inhaled pretty quickly. As the side, he went with the chole with naan, and it was interesting. It appears to be a chickpea soup. But I guess it is chickpeas cooked in a spice. Lol. It was an interesting pick if you're wanting something different. The daily special is worth a visit too. On one of the Fridays, our friend went for the crab cake special. He said it was pretty good and only $9.95 or something really close to that for x2 patties. And the cool part is that I didn't know this place was halal. There's also a bunch of hot sauces at the front counter of varying spice levels you can grab and bring to your table. read more

Came here late on a Saturday after a bad experience with another local wing place. I was surprised by how many people came in so late at night, but the wings are tasty and well priced so I can see why. The cashier was friendly and kept me updated as my food took quite a while. The chicken was perfectly crispy with plenty of delicious hot sauce. The tater tots were also perfectly crispy. Will def be back! read more

Three Buddies - Hot wings and Tator Tots - Tacos Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

I ordered from Three Buddies and had a decent experience. I initially thought the price was high, but later realized the burger came with three patties--so that was my oversight. That said, the patties were thick and didn't resemble a smash burger, which is how they were described on the menu. The bacon was another miss for me--it was thick, tough, and had a jerky-like texture that didn't pair well with the burger. When I went in to pick up my order, I noticed the food inspection score was 83, with a citation for improper handwashing. That was disappointing and definitely something I'd like to see improved. Overall, the food was tasty enough, and I'd consider going back. They have a wide variety of menu items--from burgers to nachos to wings--that I'd be interested in trying. I'lol definitely be back once they improve their food safety standards. read more

Three Buddies - Hamburger, onion rings - Tacos Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Everything was eaten, and this restaurant entered the clean plate club. I came up to Doraville area, but instead of craving ethnic cuisines, I just wanted a burger. I looked-up good burger joints in the area on Eater, and I found this gem. I got the triple stack, loaded with everything- mushroom, egg, bacon, and grilled onions. The burger was full of juice, and they used a good standard potato bun (I think). The burger came standard with American cheese, pickles tomatoes lettuce. I usually don't like lettuce or pickles in my burger, but together with the sauce they used- everything came together perfectly. Despite looking slightly unhealthy, I felt normal after the burger. Everything paired with it made it go down nicely without feeling too greased-up. Will definitely be back to try more! Definitely one of my new favorite burger joints. read more

Three Buddies - Tacos Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Short version: a burger roughly as good as you can find at Five Guys at a fraction of the price, but I wouldn't bother with the combo. Probably better for delivery or take out than dine in. A good place for a burger - good ingredients, well cooked and flavorful. The fries are just okay - reasonably crisp, minor seasoning. I wasn't wild about the cheesesteak, though again it was clearly made with good ingredients. Canned soda. The location is a bit worn down, and there were times when we couldn't get service because the register was empty. I expected to see a mural about who the three buddies were, but didn't. The only interior decor besides a "Three Buddies" sign was a television that was kept off. The food was brought out to our table. We were the only people there after a couple of canoodling teenagers left. I got the impression that they bought their supplies from a Halal market next door. read more

Three Buddies is a fast-casual Halal restaurant known for its burgers, but it also serves fried food (fish, chicken sandwiches, wings, rice), tacos, and cheesesteaks. It is located in Chamblee near the intersection of Chamblee-Tucker Road and Buford Highway (next to Food Terminal). It is accessible by @marta_transit via the 5 and 47 buses. My husband and I ordered the single-patty burger daily special, which comes with a side (fries) and beverage, coleslaw. chicken Philly, and tater tots. The burger was standard fare for a fast-casual restaurant. It was a smash burger with cheese, lettuce, pickles (2), tomato, and hamburger sauce (ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish). It was more lettuce than necessary, and I prefer the bun to be more toasted in a fast-casual eatery. The fries were average as well (I personally like a more consistent seasoning). The coleslaw was pretty good, although it was overdressed with mayonnaise. The chicken Philly featured thinly-sliced chicken (similar to the traditional Philly cheesesteak as opposed to small strips), bell peppers, and cheese. It did have a bit of a kick. My husband did not love the meat preparation or the spice level. I actually preferred the Philly to the burger. The tater tots were well seasoned and had a good crisp. Overall, I would stop by if we were in the area and in the mood for fast-casual American fare. I am curious to try their chicken wings and the III Buddies Signature Burger. read more

Really good burger, amazing fries and fried pickles. Nice helpful staff. Will return!

I went to the restaurant to pick up food for a friend and myself. I wanted to order chicken but I only eat verified hand cut Zabihah Halal chicken. For some it doesn't matter but for me it does. Generally when I ask owners they will tell me outright if their chicken is hand cut and will show me a certificate of verification or will be honest and tell it's machine cut. The owner danced around answering the question saying everything is halal. This made me uncomfortable. I asked specifically about the chicken being hand cut, he then said it was. When I asked to see the certificate, he said he had one but they were not allowed to show it to me. This again made me even more uneasy as I know of establishments that proudly display certificates verifying that their chicken is hand cut and a will produce proof of the same. I again asked politely to see proof that the chicken was not machine cut. I mentioned that I was Muslim and eating machine cut chickens was not an option for me and that it was important to me. He mentioned he too was Muslim and was from India. The owner started getting upset raising his voice at me and accused me of harassing him. I told him I could see what was happening and that I would warn others about this. He started using profanity and that was my signal to leave the establishment. Transparency and honest are always the best policy. An establishment nearby was asked the same question. They were honest and transparent and mentioned that their chicken was not hand cut. So I ordered beef, goat and fish dishes from the menu. I am giving one star because there is no option not to give any. read more

R and I came here for lunch this past Saturday, after seeing good reviews for this relatively new business. For potential customers, Three Buddies serves Halal food. Three Buddies has its own parking lot and it's decently sized for a small business, and I was easily able to get an open parking space. The restaurant looked small from the outside, but there was a decent amount of tables and seating inside. We walked in and the only employee we saw the entire time we were there walked out from the back kitchen area and warmly welcomed us with a smile. This employee was courteous and attentive, and is one of the business "Buddies." The menu has some variety to it, and the food is simple: wings, burgers, fried rice, chicken sandwiches, Philly sandwiches, and Buddies Specialties. Prices are reasonable too. At the order counter, R and I each ordered Double Patty Burger combos, which come with fries and a canned drink. The burgers have tomato, pickles, cheese and lettuce on them. There aren't any beverage dispensers here, so no drink refills. We sat down at a table near the window. It didn't take long for our food to be served, hot burgers and hot fries, at our table. The flavor of the burgers reminded me of the kind cooked on a seasoned aluminum grill, which is a good memory for me. The burgers were cooked well done, which is not my preference, and they weren't juicy like I was expecting. I did like the flavors. The buns were heated on the grill, also, and our hands got very oily from holding the buns. The fries had a light dusting of seasoned salt, so it was good that they weren't salty. I'll come back in the future, since I want to try their wings. read more

I came here in the evening on a weekday. I was the only customer there so I guess it's pretty slow during the weekdays. The employee was very nice and quick. The food was great! I got a single patty burger with the combo to go. Normally when I go to a burger place they don't have just regular burgers. It's hard to find a place that has just regular burgers with none of the extra stuff like extra meats and toppings and sauces but this place has what I was looking for. They have other items like wings and tacos as well. This place is really clean and has so much seating. I will definitely come back. read more

Highly recommend. read more

So I decided to go ahead and give it a shot because it was rated fairly high and I do love the taste of a good burger. It's not a big shop, has plenty of tables, no outside seating but plenty of indoor seating. There's only one register so if there are a lot of ppl, you may have to wait. The service was pretty good, they greeted me as soon as I came through the door and were friendly. The space was clean, which is also a plus. They're signage on the screens and then there's paper men needs to look at as well. Honestly all of it looks good though, that's really the end of it, all of it looked really good. Honestly, I was not super impressed with the food though. I got a bacon cheeseburger burger and fries and I tried the wings as well. Lemon pepper wet of course. The wings didnt seem like they had a lot of lemon pepper on them, and they even looked like they were too lightly seasoned. If you go to a place like JR Crickets or the Local, you can see the seasonings all up and through those wings. These didnt have the look or taste like they seasoned them enough. The fries were good, zero complaints. The burger was juicy, so I will give it credit for that. But the taste wasn't super impactful. It was not as flavorful as I would have liked. And the way the burger was stacked, the toppings got all soggy at the bottom of the bun (because it was so juicy I guess). The lettuce was done by the time I got it home. I would give them another try but I am not rushing though. The price was good, really good. So it's worth at least trying out because maybe it was an off day for them. It was not bad, but there were things that could have been done to be better, in my opinion. It's worth another go, but I was not floored with my first experience, given how many high reviews there are. read more

Their food is craveable. Amazing burgers. I recommend getting the burger with sweet bacon. Everything is well seasoned, even the fries. The service is always friendly. read more

The service was great and there also seems to be outdoor seating around back. We got a single patty burger with sautéed mushrooms and a spicy chicken sandwich combo. Burger was flavorful but the patty is thinner than other places so would recommend at least a double patty. The chicken was also a thinner cut than other chicken sandwich places. I'd prob prefer the burger over their chicken sandwich. Fries were standard. They were crunchy and had some old bay seasoning on them. read more

The burgers are a good size and cooked PERFECTLY. The onion rings and fries are solid but the Burger really stands out quality beef and bun cooked to perfection (not dry but not undercooked either).

The service was excellent and helpful. The food was very good and perfect for my dinner plans.

I wish we'd have gotten the burger. Instead, I opted for the fried rice. It took them longer to make than it did for someone ordering a burger 10min after our order. Plus, the fried rice wasn't even good. I had to tell myself it was fuel for my body and nothing more. On top of that, the silverware was plastic. We didn't have the best service, and for it not to be busy, I'd think it would've been more attentive. read more

This spot was good for sure! There were about 12 or more of us. Some of us pre ordered. The food was amazing .They could've added more sauce to the wings. The burger on the other hand was a 10/10 The only problem I Can pick out was the fact that there was only 1 Girl in the front. I can tell she was a little overwhelmed in the beginning, but she was super nice and sweet. The bathrooms were super clean. Ambiance? Spacious , enough room for big parties. Clean. Wooden like tables and booths available. read more

This place is amazing. I've been here many times and it's always a delight. The food is always fresh and seasoned perfectly. Their burgers are incredible.

Definitely the place to go for burgers in Buford highway. read more

Okay my family got burgers and honestly we ordered 10 mins ahead and we still waited a good 5mins at the restaurant the buns were store bought and the smallest burger for the price and many burger places comes with fries this was just a burger costing about like $6-8 with no fries? That's honestly a whole meal. And the fact there was no effort towards the burgers and we also got a Philly cheese steak no onions no pepper just meat. We decided to give it a try because it's halal and wanted to support or local halal business but it was a joke read more

Great burger, nice char, been there a couple times and been consistently good. Great seasoning on fries as well.

Three Buddies isn't the typical type of restaurant you'd think to find on BuHi but it is a good one. My husband is obsessed with finding really good burger places so we decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly juicy, not overly greasy and had just the right amount of toppings. Also the bun was toasted which gave it that extra little oomph. We also ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and a chicken Philly. Both also had that toasted bread crunch. So good. The chicken sandwich had some really good flavor. A good little kick but not over the top spicy. I loved the slaw and the pickles they put in sandwich too. As for the chicken Philly, I thought it was delicious. I actually prefer it over this other chicken Philly I had that specializes in Phillies (*cough, Big Dave's, cough*). Lastly, I'm not sure what they season their fries and tots in but man it's yummy. It makes it stand out from the standard fries. Three Buddies gets 5 stars from me! I forgot to mention the service was spectacular. Super nice staff and the chef, I assume one of the buddies, came out and chatted with everyone. They got themselves a couple of repeat customers. We'll definitely be going back, again and again. read more

What a great new halal fast food place! It's hard to come by a halal spot with a spacious seating area, great customer service, and good American burgers. Three Buddies definitely has all three on point! I got the III Buddies Signature Burger meal and it was delicious! The cheese was melted, the onions sautéed perfectly, and they did not skimp out on the meat in those patties! I ended up having to take out a patty, so em definitely up doing a double instead of a triple patty. The turkey bacon was also a nice touch. I would definitely come here again.

Customer Service: Upon entering the establishment I was greeted with a visual greeting and no verbal greeting was provided. I am really big on customer service, accordingly to the establishment, and this almost made me walk out. Customer service is a really big deal and businesses DO NOT either think it isn't important or have a lack of interest in understanding how this can have a huge affect on profits, success, and making their mark per se. Product: Wings, Burgers, and FF. Get the wings! You will want these. Get the Burger, you can't go wrong if you are new. I believe in always telling the restaurant how you want your food so you have the right to send it back if it isn't right. Also, make sure you know what you are talking about regarding how you'd like your burger..FYI for rookie burger eaters. Well Done is not Rare. They pay attention to what you say here. I think my wings were previously flash fried and then dropped again upon ordering them due to the quick time frame the order took. If you work from home don't go here and order food for lunch because you will FALL asleep! Beware! Location: You will miss it if you're not paying attention but overall it stands alone in its own parking lot and it even has a rear patio I think most customers may miss. This would be a great place if they rented the area out for parties**Hint Hint** Parking: Average parking lot and little bit right of the parking lot is packed. Night times are very busy here typically. Seating: If you don't like being seated right next to someone, you may want to go right when they open or before 4PM. If you don't mind, dive in. Plenty of seating in my opinion it's just a little tight as the building is a bit older. read more

My biggest issue with this place is where it's located. Right off the main road if you weren't looking for it you would think it was closed or abandoned. Outside of that the service was excellent, and the food was pretty good. I ordered a double patty burger with fries. When you dine in they bring you actual plates to eat off of which was nice. It was a smash style burger so the meat was crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger. read more

A small, unassuming place that provides great burgers and wings at a reasonable price!

The burger was straight up fully raw. The cow was still mooing ain't no way. First time coming by this place. Ordered a single patty combo & with wings as well for takeout. Wings were mid. (No flavor) Get home excited to try this burger out & I took a bite and saw pink. I'm like okay, maybe not the whole burger is pink- BUT NO I TOOK ANOTHER BITE AND IT WAS MORE PINK. The fact I took two big bites and now I'm feeling sick to my stomach is disgusting. I understand mistakes happen-- but for the burger to be THIS PINK and uncooked is beyond me. I decided to break up the burger as you can see and it's straight up raw cow bruh. If you eat from here, PLEASE check the meat. This was disgusting and I'm never going there again. I'm about to throw up just looking at the pictures. read more
