Great food, great prices. The catfish filets were light and crispy on the outside and delicious. Unlimited white beans, slaw, and hush puppies were all really good. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star review was the fact that the restaurant was cold, so the plates were cold and our food got cold pretty quickly. read more

Not a bad place to eat at all if you're wanting some good fish. If you're on the adventurous side they also have fried frog legs and fried gator tail. (both are an experience to say the least) They have these really good white beans that are complimentary. Our server, I think her name was Chaisty, she's a little forgetful when you ask her for stuff but she's really nice and friendly! read more

The chef knows how to fry foods right. All the fried foods are great, well surprisingly except the french fries. We like all the unlimited sides too but not too crazy about the banana pudding. We have had better ones but it could also be because we are stuffed already. If you like fried foods, give them a try. We will for sure go again if we are in the area. read more

It's not easy to find a southern catfish restaurant anymore, so I had to try this place. They bring out sides when you sit down and keep them coming if needed. The drinks are served in mason jars. How can you not a place where you drink out of mason jars? I had the catfish and chicken and it was delicious. My server was very friendly and attentive. It wasn't he best I've had but it was very good. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Great food great service Come here frequently because my husband enjoys it very much and so do I. It's a nice quiet place with cute decor very family oriented amongst the staff. It's nice to have places like this still around! read more

Amazing..... Amazing. Such a down home type of atmosphere and wonderful food. I ordered the All you can eat Catfish and It was very good. The fixins... (sweet onion, pickles, beans, coleslaw, hush puppies and fries) were unexpected. The fixins are included but all of it was delicious. Now let's talk about the big juicy pieces of catfish. Fresh, deep fried and golden brown. Thank you Uncle Bud for opening this place for locals and tourists to enjoy. read more

I had not eaten southern food in quite some time. This food was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was pleasant and the food servers were very hospitable. Everything we ate from the fixin's to the catfish and fried chicken was mouth watering. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you have not already! read more

I died and went to fried catfish heaven . No but seriously this is some of the best catfish that I've had in quite some time. The best part about it is that it's all you can eat and they bring it out hot and fresh each time. They go out of their way to make sure you don't leave hungry and if you do, it's your fault as they say. The sweet tea tasted like you were sitting on your grandmas porch relaxin on a hot southern summer day. The sides were phenomenal from the coleslaw with a crunchy and slight pepper bite, to the hot fresh fries. Service was excellent and seating was a breeze. The only thing that if I had to say was a slight drawback, was the fish was a little salty. However, I'm a person who doesn't use a lot of salt in my foods so it really could possibly be just me. Other than that, uncle buds Catfish in Nashville is a must if you're in the area. I will be back again very soon. read more

Friendly service, great comfort food. Visiting from out of town, and we were very glad to find this spot.

We were looking for a good spot to eat before heading to the airport and Uncle Bud's did not disappoint. My daughter wasn't sure if she would like the fried catfish so they gave her an entire filet to sample. After she tried it and loved it and ordered it they brought the entree and let her keep the sample for free. Great customer service and amazing food. read more

WOW what can I say honestly!!! If you go to Nashville this is a must do and come hungry!! Freshly made all day long. Better wash your hands before ordering cause after ordering your food is there within mins. And you won't want to miss it. read more

Great service, great food. Portions were very large - almost too much food. A wonderful place to spend lunch on a weekend.

Luv tha atmosphere the staff was great and made sure the food was just as great I'm for sure headin back especially for tha fish platter as I call it read more

I tell you, this place is ridiculous. Ridiculously delicious that is !!!! My wife and I took a short trip to Uncle Buds after a co-worker of mine told us about it. Flashback to Friday. My co-worker hands me a menu to check out and told me how great this place is. Now, being a native Louisianian who has tasted some of the best seafood in the world, I can be a little skeptical of some seafood restaurants. Looking through the menu I notice only 2 words: "GATOR TAIL". That's is all took for me to say to my wife "we are going to check this place out". Ever since having left Louisiana for Nashville, it seems to be nearly impossible to find gator meat anywhere, for obvious reasons I am sure. We live in Tennessee. Ok, back to the present. We go to the restaurant about 3pm or 4pm and it is hopping with all kinds of people. We were told it would be about a 30 minute wait. No problem. It's Sunday and people are out enjoying their weekend Side note: favorite patron was a guy who showed up in black t-shirt, multi-colored swim trunks, slip on sandals (no socks). Best part? Business on the front, party on the rear. Yep, a 1990's Billy Ray Cyrus mullet. Awesome !!! Anyways, we get seated and are immediately greeted by our server who brings the fixins'. Bowl or white beans, cole slaw, and some of the best hush puppies I've ever had. Big and fluffy and full of flavor. My wife and I decided to order the fried gator tail & catfish platter. It comes with fried gator and 2 nice filets of catfish. We decided that we would pass on the frogs legs and opt in for more gator. This was by far the BEST fried gator I have ever had....ANYWHERE !!! Moist, tender, and just delicious. The catfish was fried to perfection and full of flavor. I can honestly say I taste why they are known for their catfish. It also came with potatoes wedges which were just as good as everything else on the plate. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. As if I haven't already? You will just need to decide for yourself. I will tell you this though: It is worth every penny and however long it takes you to get there. There is not one bad thing I could say about this place. Everything is just really great about Uncle Buds Catfish. I will definitely be returning many times in the future. Word of advice: If you get the gator, you have to ask for the "spicy mayo" (I think it's called). Goes together like....well, Uncle Bud & catfish !! Anyway, that's all I'm saying !!! read more

Uncle Bud's - Fried gator & catfish platter - Seafood Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went to Nashville for anniversary trip. Found this place on yelp plus it was 5 minutes from the hotel. We love the all u can eat fixings. Which reminded me of what my family in Alabama and Mississippi cook for Sunday dinner. My husband had the all you can eat catfish. He usually does not eat fish. But said that was the best fish he had. I had the all u can chicken tenders. Which were also good. Thank u for making our anniversary dinner memorable. Anytime we come back to Nashville. We will be eating at Uncle Buds. read more

If you are traveling to Nashville you have to make Uncle Buds Catfish Chicken and Such a place you have to try. Ask for Donette she will make you feel at home. Best hushpuppies and Catfish I have eaten. Chicken Tenders will be your kids favorite of all time. The fixens are amazing too! Martin's BBq was over rated, have had better bbq in Cali. Hattie Bs good but you will enjoy the fried chicken At Uncle Buds more. Get the Banana pudding you won't be disappointed. read more

It's good. Give it a try! The fries chicken livers and chicken w/ fixins are good options but don't forget to try the catfish!!

Uncle Buds is one of my favorite spots to eat. The food is great! We moved here 6 months ago and have been there so many times I can't count them. read more

Awful service, would not recommend. When we got here it took 35 minutes to get a table and when I walked inside there were 5 empty table. Once we finally got a table it took 10 minutes to get our drinks and another 30 to get our food. The food was ok but it was very small for something that cost so much. Definitely would not go there again. read more

If you like southern fried fish and chicken along with Deep South "fixin's", then Uncle Bud's is your stop for lunch or dinner. Great service along with tastey fried food and mason jars filled drinks welcome you to a dinner that will satisfy. Does this sound good to you, then make a stop by and enjoy a great experience. I recommend this place as a great visit! read more

Yes yes yes yes yes! I love the atmosphere of this place! The food is delish! The quality service makes the food faaaaaaar more appetizing than other places! Food comes out quick and hot! I paid for my food to get take out. This is the first time here. I had my wallet out and my military ID was showing. I didn't ask for any type of discount I feel bad when I do.... but the manager (I think) saw it and said he'd give me a discount because of it! He has situational awareness & I love it! That's how a leader should take his role! On top of all of that he said my last name correctly! "Nguyen" if your wondering. I'll definitely be coming here again! read more

We had Tabatha as a server omg she was the greatest server we had the shrimp and catfish both where amazing. If people dont come to visit they are missing out on great good and let me tell you those hush puppies are like and airy so good read more

This was some of the best food we have had in a while my husband had Frog Leg and I had Fried Shrimp. The food was hot and fresh. The hush puppies are wonderful. Lane, our server was amazing and he is from Toledo where we are from. Small world come to Nashville and meet a "neighbor" will definitely go back when we come back in December. Wish you could open in the Midwest. Great experience. read more

Uncle Bud's was the second dinner stop during my recent trip to Nashville! Again, we were hoping to find some good southern food close to our hotel. We got to the restaurant around 7 and I was surprised at the fact that they closed at 8! I was also surprised that we had to wait a few minutes for a table, considering how far from urban Nashville we were, but it was likely due to the fact that Tuesdays have an AYCE catfish special. You have two choices when ordering at Uncle Buds: AYCE dinners (protein and sides) or ordering a regular plate that comes with AYCE sides. I decided to try the catfish and the fried chicken plate. The portions here are HUGE. My meal came with 2 pieces of catfish and two pieces of fried chicken, and I ended up leaving about half my food on my plate. Of the two, the catfish was definitely better! The fillets were cooked perfectly and weren't dry or oily at all. The chicken was good but felt pretty heavy and I only ate half of one piece. The plate also came with a biscuit, which was pretty doughy and lacked seasoning, and fries, which were good but I was pretty over fried food at that point. My least favorite part of the meal were the sides. Maybe I'm not used to southern food, but circles of raw onions are not a side to me. The beans were flavorless and the coleslaw was watery. This was also my first time trying hush puppies and I was disappointed with how greasy and heavy they were. Overall, while I really enjoyed the catfish, I wouldn't come to Uncle Bud's if I were to visit Nashville again. One good component wasn't really worth feeling like everything else I ate was instantly clogging my arteries! read more

The hush puppies, slaw and white beans were very good. I almost was full from those before the catfish came out. The catfish was good, but was a little too thin and slightly overcooked. All in all, it was an good place that I would go back to if in Nashville again. read more

Very friendly and homey place. Our server, Monica, was awesome! The fixin's were excellent and they do as they say -- bring them out when you first sit down and keep ''em coming until you say 'Whoa!" We had fried shrimp and fried catfish filets. Both were excellent! Sweet tea was also great. Had no room to try their dessert but the banana pudding and peach cobbler was very tempting. Very pleased and will definitely return if we are in the area in the future. read more
