Buddy's Bbq - Rocky Mount

Buddy's new place is really neat, and the crew really nice. But, it was around 4 pm, just before regular dinner service would have started, and I unfortunately got a half rack of the driest, overcooked ribs I've ever had the displeasure of eating. Threwmost of it out. Yes, the meat practically fell of the bone, but that was the end of the quality, there was also a lot of pinkin the rib meat. For the price I paid, anyone would expect better quality. What was good, the chicken my husband got, so werethe bbq sauces, mac n cheese, slaw, hush puppies, potato and macaroni salads, and the baked beans. My friend got a largesalad and she said although good, wasn't worth the price she paid. This is only the third time I've gotten food from Buddy's,although it may have been a bad day just today, it may be the last time I eat their food. Or at least the ribsanyway. P.S. The other two times we went to Buddy's, I would have given them 10 stars for each day but the scale here onlygoes to five. They also have live music on certain nights ! Not sure how new that is but sounds like a good time to gothere! Take care and be safe!??

Buddy's from my understanding is a newer restaurant in the area. Naturally since I LOVE BBQ, I had to try it out. They serve meat plates and family platters. They have brisket, pulled pork and chicken, chicken wings, half chickens plus all the good fixins . Upon entering the building you're greeted by friendly faces and a modern rustic environment. It's a great lookingplace and I would love to have a room in my house as nice. The service was great and the prices were very fair compared to otherBBQ places. This is obviously very popular place in the area because you have to go at odd eating times to get a seat. Thebrisket is moist, the pulled pork is high quality but the hush puppies stuck out as unique for me. It looks like they make thehush puppies like they would make funnel cake. I normally don't like hush puppies but these were the best I've ever had! I wouldgo there just for them let alone their BBQ. If you ever find yourself in this small town in Virginia, you have to try it out!

For the first time I ate at kumpels bbq in rky mt, but it won't be my last. the eating was delicious portions were huge, price was very reasonable. I don't know if I've ever been a chicken sandwich as big as they were. I would recommend this place

We stopped into Buddy's for lunch on Sunday on our way home from SC. They were fairly busy but tables were available. We found the BBQ to be good and enjoyed the sides as well. Service was efficient and price are reasonable. We'll go back

Hands down The best food and service and atmosphere around.
