    The pizza de jour of downtown Frankfort wasn't anything amazing, but it was satisfying. The place is named for a dog whose pictures grace the walls, and the thick crust is likely one that would be happily devoured as table scraps by an onlooking canine. The cheese was greasy, but filling, and the sauce thin but a good contrast to its sharpness. A lunch special was offered with a small salad which was crisp, and a fountain drink which included the option for unsweetened tea. It was as crowded as anything in this rather small town, and I could see why as it was exactly the quick and filling lunch I was looking for.

    Buddy's is a great spot for pizza, sandwiches, wings and beer. They have good selection of Beer and not just typical domestics. The pizza is good, crust on bottom is thin crispy. The wings were good, plenty of sauce. Also the prices are good, not over priced.

    Looking for an easy weeknight dinner while in downtown Frankfort and so glad to have found this treasure. Nice variety and selection of beers on tap and the independently owned & operated vibe that makes the place feel welcoming and inviting. Staff was so sweet and delivered everything to our table, periodically checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. What they delivered was a perfectly cooked thin crust pizza that made for a great meal. Sauce is rich and flavorful, crust has a great taste and texture. Their 16-inch pizza is plenty to feed 3-4 people. Would definitely come again.

    The absolute best cauliflower pizza in town! Crust is always perfectly cooked and the cheese is thick and delicious!

    Please go. Immediately. I loved the lady behind the counter and the food & beer were pretty good too! Plus, the walls are full of dog pictures! Woof woof!

We were in town for the bourbon trail, but I tend to rely on Yelp and Google reviews to help me find places to eat. Y'all did not let me down! The pizza was absolutely amazing, with fresh toppings, and just the perfect crust. Then on the bottom, with a little poof crust at the edges. I was greeted by Kayla, who is very friendly and easily recognized I had never been in before, lol! She walked me through how to order, and was just very kind. We tried the carnivore, because who doesn't love an all meat pizza? There's plenty of picnic tables for seating, and there's also a really pretty outdoor area where they have flowers and more tables. I will 100% return when back in the area in the fall, and I highly recommend you stop in and give them a try. We saw some people getting wings as we were finishing up, and those looked amazing too!

For this visit the experience was quite different. There website lists, "Wild caught salmon." My husband and I were super excited about ordering the Thai salads to save in our cooler for later in the day. We ordered some fruit and quiche for breakfast. We took everything to go as we were trying to make time on the road. The quiche was super greasy. The fruit was the best item as it was fresh and very delicious. When we stopped later in the day for lunch we were very disappointed to see that we were not given wild caught salmon. We know what it looks like and what it takes like. The salmon was farm raised. How do we know for sure? We have an Alaska area code. We have snatched them right out of the Kenai River. Farm raised is night and day from Wild caught salmon. If you know then ya know. There is a big price difference, and we are willing to pay for it. It's very misleading to pass off farm raised as wild. Due to this we will NOT be going out of our way to return.

The floors are bare, polished concrete which has seen 100 years or more of changes and scarring. The seating is very basic. Everything is kept up well and clean. Despite this the place was packed! We were actually surprised as the stores were all closed and there wasn't much going on in town at that time. It was a good menu for a barbecue joint. We both ordered the chicken and ribs. Before I get into the food, I just want to add that the timing was good all around. We were sat immediately. Our waitress took our order and was very attentive. And even the food came out in a timely fashion. Now on to the food. We both enjoyed the chicken and everything else that was on our plates. For me what made my night was the ribs. I'm not a person who likes a sweet sauce on their ribs. For my taste, these were the best ribs that I have had in a very, very long time. The sauce made the ribs for me. We were both well satisfied with our meals. In short, it's nothing fancy. But the food is delicious and they do what they do well. I would definitely return if I was in the area again. And yes, I would recommend giving them a try.
