    Steak Bites
    Paul W.

    Let me start off by saying as a local business I want Bud's to succeed. Local businesses play a big part in bringing the community together. And I will try to choose my worse wisely, as I have seen some Yelp reviews in the past that gave some constructive feedback met with defensiveness. Again that's just my own observation. I'm just here to provide our own experience and observations. My wife and I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The first thing we noticed is how dim it is when you first enter. It took a couple seconds for our eyes to adjust but then we were good. The inside has a nice historical feel to it with photos on the wall. We ordered some steak bites as an appetizer; while my wife ordered the chicken pasta salad and I got the BBQ Bacon Burger. As we waited for our appetizer, our waitress places a couple small plated on our table. We immediately noticed that one of the plates had some sort of liquid on it (coffee maybe). We had a hard time getting the attention of our waitress, but we informed another waitress of the dirty dish. She immediately apologized and brought us two clean plates. My wife was facing the area where I believe was the kitchen area, and she observed our waitress placing some food in her mouth (not once, but twice) without washing her hands. Again this was my wife's observation, and even said the second time they made eye contact. We got our steak bites which were very juicy and tender. If anything, we would have maybe liked a little more sear to the bites. But they were still good. My wife liked her pasta salad, but couldn't finish it because there was so much pasta on the dish. My BBQ Bacon Burger and fries were pretty basic, but still good. I do think the burger patty could have been seasoned a bit tho. Unfortunately, we weren't too thrilled with our experience. Some of the waitresses there seemed like they were locked in their zone just doing their jobs. Which I can understand since lunch was busy. But I was hoping Bud's would be one of those spots that makes you feel right at home. And I'm sure it does, but I didn't feel it this time around. I've read various reviews about this place (both good and bad), but this was my experience.

    Customer service was great, portions are large and the food is always amazing! They have a bar section and casual dining area. Very family friendly, they have games on, and fun music. Check it out!

    Prime Rib

    Food: So good! That prime rib was amazing. I was full about half way through, but it was too good to stop eating. The shrimp cocktail app is fun too! Everything was cooked to perfection. Ambiance: Very nice! The bar looked fun and there were plenty of TVs to watch a game at. The restaurant side also had a nice atmosphere. Service: WOW!!!!! This is what really separated Bud's from other establishments I've visited recently. Their wait staff works in teams which means that instead of one quality individual helping you, there are multiple staff members working to help you. We had amazing service (restaurant manager I'm hoping you read this and give these women some kudos) from Itzy, Madison and Megan. What a team! They were friendly, food came quickly, great recommendations and all three were helpful. Many of our needs were met without having to ask (almost as if they anticipated what we'd need, which was impressive) and anything that we asked for was handled quickly and efficiently, along with a smile. Thank you Megan, Madison and Itzy. Thank you also to the cooks for making our meal so delicious. Due to the high quality service and delicious food (at very reasonable prices I might add), I'll definitely be making a return visit soon.

    It was less than I expected. My prime rib was mostly thick cut fat. Bread was hard and cold. For what we paid I was disappointed.

    The best omelette we have had in a long time. Great service and you can't beat $5 bloody Mary's.

    I've been around Davis long enough to see this building go through 3 different names!…read more We heard that as its current name it had great food so we decided to try it out. We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat! The side salad and tri-tip was pretty hefty too. My sandwich was DELICIOUS! I was only able to eat half so I left with half for lunch the next day. My friend was the same. I love when I can get two meals out of one!! The restaurant carries a very fun vibe. I can imagine it is so lively when it is packed! There is an area in the back that gives off a speakeasy vibe. Overall, awesome restaurant! Great food, awesome service and chill vibe.

    Full disclosure: what kept me coming back was the Portobello Mushroom Fries -- an appetizer that's…read moreno longer on the menu. RIP. That said, there's still plenty worth coming back for. The Cowboy Cuban is the next best thing I've found on the menu and worth ordering. The house dressing is excellent too. The Down the Hatch burger was decent, just didn't have quite enough flavor for my taste -- not a reason to skip the place, but I'd go Cowboy Cuban first. Love coming with the dog when weather permits.
