The food is decent, although somewhat overpriced (for example, $18 for a chicken wrap). That's not really why we come here, though. We usually sit at the bar to watch the game and have always had a positive experience until our most recent visit. Shortly after we arrived, a woman we believe may be the owner's wife sat across from us at the bar and began loudly discussing operational issues, vendors, staff, issues with the karaoke host, and even the city of Chamblee. It felt less like a customer experience and more like we were sitting in the middle of an internal staff meeting. We tried to tune it out, but given our proximity, that was difficult. The situation became particularly uncomfortable while we were eating. She began telling a story involving roaches and repeatedly referenced them several times. Hearing an extended discussion about roaches while eating was enough to ruin our appetites, and we ended up pushing our food aside. We mentioned our concern to our server, but we did not expect her to address the issue herself since the concern was with the owner. Customers come to relax, enjoy a meal, and watch a game, not hear restaurant business issues or discussions about pests while dining. We have enjoyed this establishment in the past, but this experience left us questioning whether we'll return.

Our food arrived well-packed in a bright, colorful bag with everything separated perfectly inside. The portion sizes were just right and everything was so flavorful. I especially enjoyed my shrimp po'boy--the bread was fresh, and the shrimp were crispy with a little kick of spice that I liked. We were also very interested in trying the crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. They are incredibly rich in taste! For my sauce I ordered yum yum dipping sauce, but using both together was a bit too much for me. The order only comes with two pieces, but they are definitely big enough--I could only eat half of one because it is so rich. It's a great spot, and I will definitely be ordering again to try more menu items!

It was time for Bestfriend and I to go eat and he said he wanted to eat American. As I wanted to…read moretry somewhere new, I hopped on Yelp and performed a search and came across Three Buddies. Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat. Chicken Sandwich: Meaty Perfectly Fried Well Seasoned Fresh Fixins Buttered Bun Crispy Outside - Moist Inside 10/10 Onion Rings: The BOMB Crunchy Tender Onion Well Seasoned Great Homemade Ranch Dip Well Seasoned Huge 10/10 Three Buddies was truly an amazing experience. This is my new hidden gem for date night. I will definitely be back again very soon. This place is low key and fitting for a good meal and relaxed environment. The price point of the food at Three Buddies is perfect as the portions are filling and the food is high quality. Good food. Good service. Good prices. It's an all around great place.

The tacos were American tacos with lots of lettuce and cheese. As far as sides go, I've had tater tots, hush puppies, onion rings, chole chickpea soup, and naan.

I had the curry chicken and the vegetables for my two items. In terms of bang for your buck, there was plenty for a big eater. I had a full plate of white rice and the curry chicken went very well with it. I also was pleasantly surprised by the vegetables- the broccoli was tender without being mushy and it was tasty.

The sandwich was stuffed full of meat, and that pork was juicy and flavorful. The potato salad was so so imo. Though it was chunky and creamy, I didn't like this particular style that was too eggy and had too much mustard. The cookie was pretty tasty as it was soft and fresh. Mac bowl: Mac and cheese with brisket? Yes please. This was the perfect combo as I like both. A great compromise and blend of two scrumptious items for $15. The mac and cheese was indeed cheesy. It wasn't the best I've ever had but pretty tasty as far as southern comfort food goes. Wish there was more of it as this was ordered as an entree. Don't get me wrong, there was a good amount, but the bowl felt like it could have been fuller. The brisket was tender and delectable. And if you dunk it in some BBQ sauce, it added an additional layer of flavor that is making my mouth water now. The hubs was a fan so he went back with a friend. They also serve breakfast too if you're up that early.

Located in the food court, there's plenty of seating if you decide to sit down and enjoy your meal. I planned to take mine to go, so I didn't get too comfortable. There were some great options available on the menu, including an afternoon lunch special (that I didn't qualify for due to my visit timing but, another time!) I opted for the cup chicken and went with sweet & spicy level 2. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helped me make my dining decision when I was being indecisive. He gave me a pager and about 10 minutes later, my chicken was ready. My cup of chicken was freshly fried and hot af in more ways than one when I received it. The cup was packed to the brim of chunks of chicken, they were not shy with the portions. The sauce was perfectly sweet and spicy, truly elite flavors. But that spice? Baby, that was not a level 2!

The sauces were excellent, and the chicken was cooked very well with a great crispy texture. Both the wings and the bone-in chicken were flavorful and satisfying. The honey garlic and sweet chili sauces really stood out and added a lot to the meal. The fries were the only food item I didn't care for. They come seasoned, which isn't my preference, and like many takeout fries, they didn't hold up very well once they cooled down. Parking can be a challenge in front of the restaurant because of the heavy traffic, but there is plenty of free parking available in the back, which makes things much easier. My biggest issue was the price. For 10 wings, a half chicken, and fries, the total came to about $47. In my opinion, that's a bit expensive for what you get. They also don't offer a military discount, which was disappointing. Would I go back? Maybe. The food was good and the sauces were excellent, but the prices make it hard to justify visiting regularly.
