    Buds is cute inside. And not crowded at 6:45 on a Saturday!
    Gwen M.

    We'd been driving by Bud's for a couple of years and always remarked on how clean and well kept it looked from the exterior. Finally, one night after a particularly tiresome day at work we decided to stop, and I'm so glad we did! I've found a place that feels safe. It feels like home. Kat, the proprietress, is wonderful. After our first visit, she remembered us and our drink orders. We now stop at least once a week, and sometimes twice. As an older single woman, I'd have zero qualms walking in alone. The menu is extended bar food but the steaks are good and so are the generously poured drinks. I like this place. I like the regular crowd. I like Kat. And I'm glad I've found a place.

    A half chicken (which I had them toss in hot sauce) and Jo-jo potatoes with a side of bleu cheese sauce Wow!!!

    I love old taverns with character. I love unpretentious food with good service. This is my local watering hole. I don't always want to watch my language or be politically correct. It's is where I sometimes go to watch a game and be pampered by people who know me. This is my dive bar and it's pretty darned awesome. The pic here is of their (chicken and Jo-Jo's). It's a half of a full chicken that they so kindly rolled in hot sauce for me. Yes the entire half chicken. They make the best jo Jo's here by hand. They have all manner of beer and drinks .... But they keep rainier cans on ice! It just doesn't get better for me. Good dive vibes here.

    I visited Buds for the 3rd time last night. The first 2 times I ran in, got a shot and then left. Both times I was pleasantly surprised with the prize and size of my shot. Last night was no different. My boyfriend ordered a double shot (pictured below) amd as you can tell by his face, he was pleased. We ordered some grub and it was all pretty good! Exactly what I want out of bar food; hot, fried, seasoned, and quick service. Also, won $75 on a pull tab so Bud's gets 5 stars!

    It's ok, I would call it a dive but..... it's too dirty to be considered a cool dive bar. The fried food was good , service was good. Lots of local drinkers hanging about.

    And they gave my beloved, hated pull tabs!

Pizza is decent here, I'd come back again. Fries are good and chicken tenders/wings are typical bar grub. Beers are relatively low priced, I think it was about $4 for a draft coors light. The bar feels like someone's backyard garage, kind of a small space but also kinda "homey".

    I want to be clear that this is coming from a place of honesty, not hostility. My wife and I were…read moregenuinely looking forward to the experience. I ordered the $21 meat lovers omelette, and I was honestly surprised by what was served. For that price point, I expected a substantial, well executed dish. Instead, the omelette was relatively small, the sausage and ham inside were cold, and the eggs were cooked to the point that they resembled an overdone scramble more than a folded omelette. At that price, that felt difficult to justify. Additionally, there was no pricing listed on the menu for a side of bacon. Being charged $7 for 4 pieces of thin bacon without any prior indication of cost felt uncomfortable and unexpected. Transparency in pricing matters, especially at those rates. My wife ordered a scramble, and unfortunately, it was presented as an open faced mound of eggs placed on top of meat, cheese, and what were labeled as home fries. The potatoes were deep fried and did not resemble home fries in texture or preparation. Presentation aside, the overall execution did not reflect the quality we anticipated. I say all of this respectfully, but firmly: based on this experience, there is not a realistic possibility that we would return. When a restaurant displays a food rating publicly, customers naturally assume a certain standard. After our breakfast this morning, I can understand how that rating may have been earned. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit it's intended. We believe restaurants deserve the opportunity to hear honest experiences directly. Wishing you the best moving forward.

They were due to close at 11 (I believe) and we got there around 10, so it was a quick stop. Inside is cute and quaint and set up nicely to come by for a game or food with friends. We got to meet one of the owners, Chris, who was a personable and genuine guy. Always fun to be able to meet the faces behind the business! They had a solid selection of drinks to choose from and we definitely want to come back to try some of their food - I always see their signs promoting their specials. Brunch would be fun here! Before we took off, Chris also let us check out their private event space upstairs. It's homey, comfy, and would be a great spot to book out for a birthday party or even just a private gathering with friends. You're able to supply a budget to them and they'll figure out a catering game plan based off of your budget which I think is pretty cool. They also do have a small outdoor covered space that has a tv in it so that you can escape for fresh air but not miss anything if you're watching a game. Glad we finally got to check out this cute spot and we'll definitely be back.
