Reviews for Buddy's Bar-B-Q in Knoxville, TN
I went through the drive thru at the Magnolia location. Girl that took my order was very polite. As I pulled up to get my food... and received it. I had ask for extra sauce. I checked to see if I had gotten it before driving off. I had one cup. I got theattention of the staff and an older lady came to the window. I said I ask for extra sauce and I only got one. She said how manysandwiches did you get? I said one , 3 orders hush puppies, lg fry and a pint of beans and a pint of potato salad. Almost 30dollars worth of food. After telling her I had ask for extra , she said back to me , CALM DOWN , We will get you extra sauce. Itold her I would pay for it. And I did , 25cents a piece for not even 1/2 full little 2oz cups. For the lady to tell me to calmdown when all I said to her was that I had ordered through thru the drive thru, was rude and unprofessional. I will not bereturning and I?ve been going there for years.

I have eaten BBQ all over the United States, the pork, brisket, ribs, potato salad, beans, Coleslaw and hush puppies was better... than some of the Texas BBQ that I've had. I am and will make Buddies BBQ on my list to come back and eat. Great food and peoples Read more
Great experience overall. This is significantly above average BBQ for way below average prices. Dining room and bathrooms were... clean. The woman working the front counter could not have been friendlier, and even gave my 2 year old some animal crackerswhile we waited for our food.

Food was very delicious. Was slightly late to dine in, but the manager was gracious to allow us this time. As my Mother is 75 an... has diabetes, so the food helped a lot and all other employees had a pleasant nice professional attitude. Read more
So, this is tough. I think the BBQ was 3 by Texas standards, and the sauce brought it to a 3.5. I'd round it to 4 for the low... price, but the service was a slow. I wouldn't come here if you are in a hurry. The staff was nice and apologetic for the slowservice. As to the specifics on the food, the hushpuppies, french fries, corn and hotdogs were great. The ribs and chicken werea bit dry and low on flavor, but the pulled pork was good. I really think the baked potatoes with meat were the way to go. Hereis a picture of my plate. Read more
My wife and I were out of town today visiting family in the Knoxville area. We have Buddy's in our hometown of Chattanooga and... forgot they were also in Knoxville. We are inside and spent $30 on her and I on 2 dinners and an extra side of potatoe salad anda shake. Every bit of the food was delicious and fresh! And the cashier Mary that took our order was absolutely AMAZING! Verypolite and accurate and got our order right to the t. She brought extra bush puppies to our table while we were eating and justwent above and beyond to take care of us always with a polite attitude and disposition. We also placed a to go order for ourfamily back home and again spent $25. There weren't any complaints from any of the five people that were fed. The restaurant wasclean. The cashier was amazing and the food was delicious! I would recommend this place to everyone Read more
Well, I've had Q all around this country, and Buddy's is definitely not lacking! Just a small Q-joint, but what they do, they do... well! Not being from around here in Tennessee, the folks have been nothing but fantastic! I met Reese, and we talked aboutfishing and boats. A nice guy, at least, he was nice to me lol! The Brisket, the Ham, the Beans, the Corn, the Potato Salad, theLemon shake, was just perfect! Of course, I don't believe in being negative in my reviews, so if I miss some locations that westopped at, it's because I will not be badmouthing???? anyone's business! I'll leave the badmouthing to someone else!???? Oh,and one more thing, like I always say, clean bathrooms, clean kitchens! Dirty bathrooms, go somewhere else to eat! Theirbathrooms and eating area were spotless. Do yourself a big favor and stop on in! ????????????????? Read more
