Friday June 2, 2023 8pm ish I wanted a burger from somewhere new so as I was looking at restaurants near me Buddy's popped up with a picture of the steak and cheese. It looked delicious! as I further looked at the pictures, the burger look good as well . I decided on the "brunch burger" with tater tot's. This burger came with cheese, bacon and egg. Although I ordered it to go, even after the 10 minute ride home I must say it was really good. I'll definitely go back, there are a few other items I'd like to try including the steak and cheese.

This place was great! I thought it would be a dive bar with typical food. Mostly true -- but the food was so good! I was there on a Friday night, and it wasn't too crowded or loud. The staff was friendly and you can tell the customers were regulars. My burger was nice and juicy, and I loved the fries you don't see crinkle cut often!

One of my favorite places in Richmond, I don't know where to start with how great it is. The overall atmosphere is excellent. There are always people there but not so many that you need to wait for a table or it takes forever to get a drink. They are always playing great music as well. The walls are coated by TVs. This makes it really easy to pretend to make eye contact with whoever you're with but actually looking past them to the TVs on the wall. The menu is everything you could ask for from a good American style bar. Wings, burgers, spinach and artichoke dip. The Wings are the biggest wings I have ever seen in my life. They have a great beer selection too that is both extensive and affordable. They constantly have activities ranging from trivia, to live music throughout the week, making it a fun place to visit. Their happy hour is great too. I would definitely recommend Buddy's

Went in for the blackened shrimp bowl. Sat at the bar for 10 minutes. None of the 3 bar staff acknowledged me, left.

Awesome! Great day-time prices and great service. Have the wings, but plan on taking a doggy bag home.

Tried a biscuit as a side as well, homemade and delicious, and tater tots, the best!
