    Inside dining room
    J Warren R.

    Exceptionally well-made sliced brisket sandwich, served promptly with a smile. The people at the counter could not be nicer. Insisted that I sit down and they would get my drink while I waited for my meal. I think they knew I was on a long road trip and their care and concern was well appreciated. The sandwich was large, Texas size portion. Beautiful smoky aroma and tender. I was given a choice -- the point (juicy) part of course. Inside dining room was comfortable. They appeared to be doing a booming take away and drive through business. I am so glad I found the Lost Texan -- it was a great taste of home.

    Brisket Sandwich with Slaw

    It's places like this that make me LOVE travelin'! It's a tiny little place, but the food is FANTASTIC!!! I had the Chopped Brisket Sandwich (I had a toothache issue!) and it was really good! The slaw was OUTSTANDING! CanNOT remember what hubs had, but I know he enjoyed it. The service was excellent and the prices were good. So glad we made the stop here...

    Good food. Friendly staff. Ask for gravy on the side unless you like your steak swimming in it.

    Always great food!!! Love everything on their menu! Chef salad, chicken bites, brisket plate, and cobbler are a few of my favorites.

    Buddy's Drive In - Steak Fingers meal

    Did I already rate this place? Haha I've heard about it for…read moreyears and finally tried it a couple months ago. It lives up to its hype! Remember, this place has been on national TV before...extremely consistent, hot and fresh steak fingers that can't be beat! I'm glad I was in the Midland-Odessa area because we made a trip just to Andrews for Buddy's. The $20 basket can be shared. The gravy is great and so are the fries and slaw. This drive-in/drive-up was delicious. If we make it back that way, we will enjoy Buddy's again! For now, I'll remember it in my dreams ...hahaha!

    OVERALL Buddy's Drive-In is an absolute treasure in Andrews,…read moreTX. If you're in the mood for delicious, hot steak fingers, then this is your place! RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4.5 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3 PARKING The parking lines were difficult to see on 1/9/2024, but just pull in and a staff member will come out to take your order. LOCATION/AMBIANCE It looks a bit rundown on the outside, but it's mostly a drive-in. It seems like the dining room has been closed for quite a few months due to staff shortage. I hope this changes soon because this looks like an awesome diner. THE GRUB The steak fingers basket ($15.25) had the best steak fingers I have ever had. Only one strips had some tough pieces. The cream gravy comes in a somewhat small cup. My family has always been big on gravy... they don't do a simple dip -- no, no -- they do dip and scoop method. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB I'm not sure if there is a kid's menu. The menu on the wall was a bit hard to read in its entirety. My 9 & 10-year-olds ended up ordering cheeseburgers ($9 each) with an order of crinkle fries ($3.25). These didn't come with drinks. SERVICE At first I didn't realize that the dining room was closed. We waited a while for the long employee we interacted with to come out to take our order. She didn't write anything down and that always concerns me. Lol. My youngest daughter said her cheeseburger was sans cheese. The food is cooked to order, so be prepared to wait upwards of 25-30 minutes. MY FAVORITE PART... The steak fingers & cream gravy! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The fries were terrible. Also, I wish their plates or baskets came with drinks for the price they charged. TIP Call ahead for order pickups: 432-523-4890.
