    On 11/7/25 , went to Bud's and had the Chicken and Shrimp dinner, with a small side of their baked beans and a large Mountain Dew drink. The service was very good. The ambiance was very pleasant. I had gotten food from here for years and the food is always good and fresh!

    Chef hair in my drink, no refund

    Ordered on ubereats, restaurant forgot piece of chicken from 3 piece. Manager didn't apologize and didn't compensate although obviousl restaurant issues. Won't order here again, food wasn't good either.

    Looks like lunch...

    There are a lot of chicken joints in my town. Even a new Cane's, though I have no idea why anyone would want to wait in line for it... But for my money, there's none better than Bud's. Harking back to the days when drive thru food was actually decent, Bud's gives you good portions, of really good food, at a pretty good price. Doesn't matter if you stay and eat inside or just drive thru, the service is always good and friendly, the food is always hot, and they've never messed up my order yet. Silly cartoon mascot? Check. Hot crinkly fries? Check. Tender, crispy, fluffy corn fritters? Check. Delicious moist meaty chicken with flaky, crispy breading? Check. Prerequisite allergen sign that lets you know you're eating what they cook whether you like or or not? Check!

    Chicken Finger Dinner. NOT BAD. The Chicken Fingers while small in size tasted pretty GOOD having a nice crunch to them when eaten. The Meal included Corn Fritters plus 2 Sides of my choice. I chose Mashed Potatoes & Potato Salad instead of the standard Fries. RECOMMEND.

    We came by here today and tried Buds Chicken and Seafood. We ordered the seafood combo's which included two sides . I had coleslaw and mashed potatoes as my sides . My husband also had seafood combo with coleslaw and fries . Combo consists of big shrimps, two corn fritters, some fried fish and scallops! All very good . Would like to say only bad is their coleslaw is bland to us . Not much flavor . Big fries and were good . We also ordered buffalo wings which were also good Would we order it again ?? Yes we would! Staff smiles and are pleasant ! I did see a staff member with a sprayer with some sort of cleaning supply and paper towels cleaning tables which shows they care about cleanliness! Bravo !!

    Family fest for $50.

    First night in town and wanted fast casual seafood. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have catfish and chicken but what we had was fine, though greasy. The filets are small but they give you a bit extra to make up for it. The corn fritters were better than I expected. Their sides are traditional beans, potatoes, cold mayo based salads, or jello. I tried a crab cake which was ok. Very fishy. They did have hot sauce, malt vinegar, and tartar sauce as options. We were stuffed and a box full home with us. The staff was nice and patient with us as we were looking at the menu. They have a drive thru option.

    We went on a Friday night, and this place was so CROWDED. Food was slightly lacking flavor, but it was good overall! Prices were very reasonable compared to similar local seafood restaurants, and they are not stingy with the portions! It's a hole-in-the-wall, so I would recommend ordering it to go.

They have a really nice outdoor seating area,complete with heaters when needed. We chose to dine inside. The vibe inside the restaurant was kind of a boho rustic feel, and I really liked it. Soft lighting and music really set the tone. We were immediately greeted by our server, Gustavo, and given our menus. We don't drink, but they had a nice selection of drinks, cocktails and spirits. We decided to start with the sweet and sour cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious! Cauliflower battered and fried and tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. For our entree we shared the 44oz Creekstone ribeye. It was served with charred broccolini and and a fried airy potato side dish that was out of this world! The steak came sliced and off the bone, so it was perfect for sharing. It was served with 3 toppings; a horseradish sauce, a balsamic glaze, and delicious mixture of sliced peppers. Our steak was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. We did not have dessert there, as we had a birthday cake at home. And I feel remiss that I didn't even look to see what they had. Overall, it was the perfect place to have a romantic, celebratory dinner! Thanks Driftwood. *Just a Note ~ I found it odd they added a 20% tip on a 2 top table, and I was glad I noticed it on the bill before we double tipped.

A few of the things I liked.. - Fruit juice used for mixers is made in-house fresh daily. The drinks are creative and made well. - The sweet and sour cauliflower, the sliders, the chicken and dumplings. - Servers are always knowledgeable and attentive - indoor and outdoor seating with fans on a warm day. Upscale vibe with dim lighting. - plenty of parking A few I didn't.. - The fish dip was just ok - the fried part of the southern fried chicken while juicy on the inside, lacked flavor - the up charge for almond vanilla milk in the espresso martini without being told up front of the added cost -the steak tartare happy hour portion is 1 bite-sized piece. Just offer the normal sized portion for a reduced happy hour price as opposed to 1/4th the portion for 1/3rd the price. Overall I would say every experience is good but not great. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try and seeing if you agree with my review.

    Better Than Ever -- and I Didn't Think That Was Possible…read more I'll be honest -- when I heard J&J Seafood Bar and Grill on Atlantic Avenue had changed hands, my heart sank a little. I was a devoted fan under the previous owners and couldn't imagine it getting better. I was so, so wrong. The new owners haven't just maintained what made this place special -- they've elevated it into something truly remarkable. The moment you walk in, you feel it. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and alive in a way that makes you want to linger. They've created a space that feels like a genuine gathering place, and that's a rare thing to find. Now, the food. I ordered the mixed seafood grill, and it was simply spectacular -- fresh, beautifully prepared, and cooked with real care. Each bite reminded me why seafood on the coast should taste like this. And just when I thought the meal couldn't get any better, the turtle cheesecake arrived for dessert. Absolutely divine. Rich, indulgent, and the perfect finish to an already perfect meal. And then there's Chelsea. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely delightful -- the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular from the moment you sit down. She perfectly embodies the spirit the new owners have created here. To my fellow South Florida neighbors -- whether you're in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, or Deerfield Beach -- do yourself a favor and get in here now while the off-season means you can actually snag a table. This gem on Atlantic Avenue is the real deal, and once word fully gets out, you're going to wish you hadn't waited. J&J, you've made a lifelong regular out of me all over again.

The husband-and-wife owners are clearly hands-on... stopping by tables, checking in with guests, and keeping a watchful eye on everything. It's obvious they care and truly want you to have a great time here. I called for a reservation and it was basically sold out... when they said they could take me at 5pm, I grabbed it. Was actually perfect as I was heading over to see the tennis tournament after dinner. On arrival, the place was empty. As expected, when we left, it was completely full. A half bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay was perfect with my lobster. The wine list isn't extensive, but it's well chosen and fairly priced. The food was excellent across the board. A special of Scallops, Crab Cake, topped with Shrimp over Vegetables was fantastic. My guest enjoyed the Clams Oreganata. I loved my Baked Stuffed Lobster (stuffed with crab), served with amazing Mashed Potatoes... and bonus points for a real hand towel after the lobster. Of course, I had to try the key lime pie... very good. Now I understand why this casual, unassuming spot is so popular... it hits on every note. I noticed a bunch of regulars dining at the bar, which looked perfect to me. The bar is walk-in only... so next time I don't have dinner plans, I'll remember I can just walk in and try for a seat. I'm sure I'll see two familiar faces... the owners, Anthony and Christine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I had the chicken parm at Banana Boat in Boynton Beach. This isn't really an Italian restaurant, but the dish was still good. Not the best I've had, but definitely enjoyable. I would have preferred a bit more sauce, and the chicken was a thick breaded cut rather than the thinner, pounded style I'm used to. Still, it was tasty. It came with linguini, which isn't my first choice, I usually prefer ziti or angel hair, but it worked. The garlic bread on the side was very good. One thing to note, no bread was brought out before the meal. We also had mild chicken wings that leaned a little hotter than expected, but they were flavorful and I didn't mind the extra heat. The churrasco steak was also tasty. Someone else in our group ordered a bowl of linguini, which was a generous portion and very filling. Another person had the grilled swordfish with Caribbean shrimp fried rice and was very happy with it. Service was just okay. Our waiter was polite, but not very attentive. We had to ask for water a few times even though he was nearby. He did check in toward the end of the meal and asked about dessert or coffee. I got the sense he might have been new, and to be fair, the place was pretty busy. This spot is consistently busy every time I've been here, so I'd recommend making a reservation or you'll likely be waiting at least an hour. Also be prepared for valet parking, as regular parking is limited and tough to find. I've been here a few times and would return again, but there are a few areas that could be better. 4 stars tonight.
