Well,
I've had Q all around this country, and Buddy's is definitely not lacking! Just a small Q-joint, but what they do, they do well! Not being from around here in Tennessee, the folks have been nothing but fantastic! I met Reese, and we talked about fishing and boats. A nice guy, at least, he was nice to me lol! The Brisket, the Ham, the Beans, the Corn, the Potato Salad, the Lemon shake, was just perfect! Of course, I don't believe in being negative in my reviews, so if I miss some locations that we stopped at, it's because I will not be badmouthing😡 anyone's business! I'll leave the badmouthing to someone else!👍
Oh, and one more thing, like I always say, clean bathrooms, clean kitchens! Dirty bathrooms, go somewhere else to eat! Their bathrooms and eating area were spotless.
Do yourself a big favor and stop on in! 🥰🥩🧋🍽️
My wife and I were out of town today visiting family in the Knoxville area. We have Buddy's in our hometown of Chattanooga and forgot they were also in Knoxville. We are inside and spent $30 on her and I on 2 dinners and an extra side of potatoe salad and a shake. Every bit of the food was delicious and fresh! And the cashier Mary that took our order was absolutely AMAZING! Very polite and accurate and got our order right to the t. She brought extra bush puppies to our table while we were eating and just went above and beyond to take care of us always with a polite attitude and disposition. We also placed a to go order for our family back home and again spent $25. There weren't any complaints from any of the five people that were fed. The restaurant was clean. The cashier was amazing and the food was delicious! I would recommend this place to everyone
Needed some lunch after our visit to the zoo. We ended up here because other places we tried did not have dine in available. Wasn't too excited because we assumed it wouldn't be very good BBQ since it was a chain. Ended up being very pleased with our food and the staff was very friendly. Worth a try!
Always good food at Buddy's. The staff was on top of things and very helpful with advice on what to get from the menu. We chose to go inside to get our food and I'm glad we did. It's nice to talk to friendly people who know the area... We used to live in East Knoxville and were visiting. That end of Magnolia has really changed in the past 5 years! Hardee's it's gone, several businesses have disappeared, but Buddy's is right there where it always has been! I think that says a lot about how good their good is. If you want good barbecue at a convenient location then head over to Buddy's on Magnolia... You won't be disappointed.
We love Buddy’s BBQ and visit the South Knoxville location every week! The renovations recently completed look amazing and add so much to this location! They were long overdue. Great job to the GM, Jake, and all the staff here for taking such good care of their customers!
Came in from out of town and found this place online. Food was delicious and the staff was kind. Got our food quick and we got 4 sandwiches, 2 sides, 2 hotdogs and 2 drinks for 35 dollars and thats hard to beat when the food was so good.
