Buddy's Crabs & Ribs

I ordered the $17 rib basket with potato salad.
When the wonderful server brought mine out I was worried I ordered the wrong thing because there were so many ribs.
The server chuckled and said yes it’s the rib basket, they just give a lot! Those ribs were fall off the bone and incredibly delicious! The potato salad was wonderful too.
My spouse got the blue crabs and they were delicious too.
We ordered the fried pickles and I got a side of hush puppies for an appetizer.
Everything was delicious.
We will definitely be going back.
I don’t understand the low reviews on here because our experience was incredible.
I wish I remembered the server’s name because he was so great!

The restaurant greeted us with a vibrant atmosphere.
The crab platter we ordered was visually appealing, artfully arranged with a variety of seafood that caught my eye.
It didn’t take long for the first disappointment the potatoes nestled underneath the crabs were disappointingly soggy.
A fresh, crispy side could have accompanied the seafood better, elevating the overall experience. The corn, on the other hand, was decent and added a nice touch.
Our waitress was friendly and took time to explain how to properly crack and enjoy crab.
She didn’t check on us frequently, which would have been appreciated considering the wait we encountered for our butter.
After a long period of anticipation, I resorted to retrieving the butter myself.
I must point out that the seating arrangements at Buddy's Crab could be challenging for those with claustrophobia.
The tables are positioned so closely together that it felt quite cramped, making it an uncomfortable dining experience.
If you're sensitive to tight spaces, this might not be the ideal restaurant for you.
While a bustling vibe can be fun, I believe there should be balance especially if the restaurant isn't operating at full capacity.
Spacing the tables apart would greatly enhance the comfort of the patrons and create a more enjoyable atmosphere.
My visit to Buddy's Crab yielded a mixed review.
The food was decent but didn’t leave a lasting impression.
For those considering a visit, it might be wise to check how packed the restaurant is before committing to an evening of crab and fun with folks.

I have eaten @ Buddy's 4 many yrs.
Happy 2 know that the quality of the food, service & reasonable prices for more than adequate portions haven't changed over time.
I brought my childhood girlfriend 4 a l8 lunch.
She'd never been & said she'd definitely b a return customer!
