"Buddy's is a relatively new restaurant in the area, and as a BBQ lover, I knew I had to give it a try. They offer individual meat plates as well as family platters featuring brisket, pulled pork, chicken wings, and half chickens, accompanied by all the delicious sides. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by friendly staff in a modern yet rustic setting that's so charming I’d love to have a space like it in my own home. The service was excellent, and the prices were quite reasonable compared to other BBQ joints. It’s clear that this place is a local favorite, as you'll need to visit during off-peak hours to snag a table. The brisket was juicy, the pulled pork was top-notch, but the hush puppies were truly unique. They seemed to be preparing them in a style reminiscent of funnel cakes. Normally, I'm not a fan of hush puppies, but these were the best I’ve ever tasted! I would return just for them, not to mention the BBQ. If you ever find yourself in this small town in Virginia, you must check it out!"

Great restaurant with delicious grill! The nachos were mostly broken chips, but it was delicious! The service was wonderful. The Hush puppies are like funnel cakes!

We tried the ultimate burger, and it was incredible! The best hush puppies I've ever had! They also have their own homemade BBQ sauce, which is delicious as well. Definitely give it a try!

Place was packed. Took a long time to get our food, but when it did, pulled pork, brisket, fries, slaw and hush puppies were all very good. Potato salad was so-so, but the banana pudding was outstanding.

I have to begin by praising the beans—they were absolutely delicious! The hush puppies were both sweet and flavorful. Overall, the food was fantastic. I also appreciated the unique touches in the bathroom. Additionally, the staff was warm and welcoming. View menu

Working in Rocky Mount Va today came across this gem! Will definitely be back when I’m in the area! Great atmosphere, service, hush puppies didn’t even need butter! I got the spiced up beans which are Wow!! that pulled bbq! Check out the smoke ring on that brisket! Wish I would have more time to meet the pit master!

Traveled back down to the area for family business and once again I made the stop to this wonderful BBQ restaurant. The new location just down the street from the old one is a complete overhaul and upgrade. It was packed almost immediately after they opened at 11am. The food once again stole the show with fantastic flavors and tender meats. I had the brisket tray with buddy's banging beans and coleslaw along with the Jamaican Jerk wings. The small portion is just enough to fill you up but if you dig it the platter is the way to go. Now there is outside dining and live music so if you want the best BBQ, this is the place to go.

"My family and I've been customers there for a while now. The first time there they forgot something on my mom's order. He gave her the missing items they next time she came back. So we thought no problem. We always spend $60+. I always get the #2 family meal for my children that's what they always eat. Last month, I called in and pickup in drive thru. Got home, realized they forgot 2 items from that order. On top of that my food I ordered was cold. I couldn't warm it up because it had sour cream, lettuce, guac and pico on it. I called the manager which is really a nice guy. Complained of the issue. I was told he'd give me 2 large bag of chips and throw in some queso. That was a month ago. Tonight was treat night Mexican of course. I went in instead of drive thru. I mentioned it to the manager about items missing with my last order and he didn't remember saying that and he knows my name. Which I'd think you were suppose notate things like that. However, sadly to say, tonight they lost 7 customers. I order family meal, and three other menu items. I spent $80 tonight only for my daughter to find hair in the burritos under the cheese. I called the manager again expressing my concern and he made it seem like the hair was mine b/c he didn't know how it could've gotten there. He said his cooks wore hats and face mask. I'm a very honest woman I have no need to get over on anyone. Me and my daughter's hair are braided. Ask yourself, a place you always go, food you've craved and spent that kind of money, why would you put straight black hair in it. My children lost their appetite. How would that benefit a hungry household. Oh and the rice had some type of plastic looking thing in it. The pics are attached also. Very upset, hate for them to loose our business but my husband and I motto is 3 strikes, you're out."

"Once seated, we hoped the food wouldn't take as long as it did last time, especially after waiting so long for our reserved table. However, after ordering drinks and food, we waited over an hour and a half for our meals. At that point, it was already 8:30 PM, and we asked if there was any bread available since we hadn't expected to still be without dinner. The waitress informed us they had cornbread for $0.75 each, which felt quite ridiculous after everything else. To make matters worse, the waitress came back to inform us that one of the meals we ordered was unavailable after we had already waited so long. It was baffling that this wasn’t addressed beforehand! Another concerning sign was that everyone around us was still waiting for their food as well, with some visibly frustrated customers even getting up to leave. Our meals finally arrived around 8:50 PM. I had ordered a salad with chicken, and the waitress mentioned it was still being prepared—despite it being just a salad. Twelve minutes later, after the rest of our party had already started eating, my salad finally arrived. What shocked me most was the complete lack of apologies or concern regarding our poor experience. Simple gestures like apologies, good customer service, or even offering bread or appetizers could have made a big difference, but that didn’t happen here. I strongly advise against dining here unless you enjoy poor treatment and waiting over two hours for mediocre food. I did hear from some at the table that the mac and cheese was good, but judging by the other reviews, it seems this was just another typical night for them—where the customer is always wrong!"
