A bajillion years ago when we moved to Alabaster, back before there was the shopping center, a state championship football team, and just about any chain restaurant you can name--including the big boy barbecue joints, there was Buddy's Bar-B-Que. It sits back from the road, so you might miss it were it not for the wafting smells of smoked ribs et al. billowing forth from the little smoke stack. There's only a small table or two outside, unprotected from the elements, so best just take your plates, and pounds, and pudding and enjoy them at home, if you can wait that long to dig in. I've gotten Buddy's burgers several times, and they're very good. But so is the pork plate--chopped or sliced, e...
This first time I ate here I had a pork bbq sandwich. This time I had the four piece chicken finger meal with fries. Warning the portions may be smaller than you are used to. However the food is good. Not only did I have the chicken fingers. I also had dessert. Get the Chocolate Peanut butter Fig cake! The fig icing/jam is soooo good! Also, the chicken sauce is really good! I used every bit of it. It had a Vinaigrette taste to it. Even though I thought the portion was small. It was the perfect amount for me. It filled me up. Someone else it might not be enough for. I can?t wait to go back here. Oh and Buddy is the cutest sweetest thing ever! FYI: There really isn?t any seating. Maybe one tab...
I hadn't been to Buddy's since I was 10 years old. When I was pregnant, I ate there almost every day. It was fantastic then, and it still is! Their burgers are some of the best I've ever had. The owner and the young woman who cooks are extremely friendly. And I can't forget to mention the cake—it's a must-try! I plan to return to see if the ribs are just as good as I remember.
This BBQ joint is all food top pick that either the Juicy homemade hamburgers or the Ribs that taste as if they were just pulled from your backyard grill. The BBQ sauce is also a series of sweet and tangie, but so perfect in its own way. If you read this...

Pork and chicken sandwiches very good, with the pork just barely edging it out as the better option. Also enjoyed the onion rings, baked beans, and potato salad! Definitely will be back to enjoy everything again soon.
Great food and staff! This is my favorite bbq and highly recommend it. Chocolate cake and hamburgers are addicting. Best fried okra around. If you haven't tried Buddys BBQ, you are missing out.
This restaurant is a disappointment. I paid $11 for a large BBQ sandwich that wasn't very good. The owner also miscommunicated the menu prices. Thank you for correcting them! Attention!
Not sure what the .99 service fee is in addition to the almost 18 on a large bbq sandwich and the order of the onion rings. Onion rings are really good, but the price is really high.

I've been enjoying Buddy's BBQ for years! I tried their chili today, and it was the best I've ever had! Definitely a 5-star experience!
The fried okra at this location is ridiculous! It?s so good! Everything is cooked to perfection. The locals know what?s up!
