The food isn't the greatest bbq ever (kind of dry) however the 2 gentleman there today were the most polite we have ever encountered there. Thank you!

This is one of my favorite BBQ restaurants in the whole country. Their pulled pork, brisket, sides and hot fudge cakes are great. I always make a special trip to Buddy’s when I’m in Tennessee.

The Food was DELICIOUS! I got the rib plate w/ a side of baked beans and potato salad. Hush puppies automatically come with the meal. However, I didn’t like the potato salad (too much mayo) but everything else I enjoyed. The establishment is clean, the service was great. Within minutes of me ordering, my food was fresh, hot, and READY. This was the best meal I had on my trip and I’m grateful for that, I will be back.

This is the only reason I would go to the Pinnacle with all the traffic and high prices. The bbq pork platyer is my fave and the hush puppies are great. They probably have the best tea around!!!! Its always been a great experience here.

I had ordered the chicken barbecue sandwich which I felt it definitely did not have enough meat on it for as big a bun it was. But the taste was great. And also only came with one side which I had order hush puppies. They weren't all that great I should have gotten the fries instead. Would recommend no they are good

The food is fresh and delicious. Haven’t had a bad thing here yet don’t think I ever will… The service is absolutely wonderful… And the best thing on the menu is the pickles. I don’t know what they do to them but OMG they are so good.

Went through the drive thru & picked up a brisket dinner & a 4-piece smoked wings. Cashier was very friendly. The smoked wings were delicious - well cooked & juicy inside. I chose the dry rub which had good flavor. The beef brisket was sliced extremely thin & already had BBQ sauce on it. The BBQ sauce was tasty & the brisket itself was pretty good. I would have preferred it sliced thicker although that may have made it tough. The hush puppies were golden, crispy & well seasoned. For sides, I selected the potato salad - which was phenomenal - & the BBQ beans. The serving size on the sides was a little too small & I am fairly sure the beans were merely dumped out of a can into my to-go container - too soft a texture & completely devoid of flavor. I've had way worse BBQ in the tri-cities & I've also had much better. I'm not unhappy that I tried Buddy's, but I doubt I'll be back.
