Finding barbecue in West Virginia on a Sunday evening ain't easy!
After passing by three places somewhat close to I-64, Buddy's was a last-ditch effort to sample barbecue in every state between Pennsylvania and Texas, and they did not disappoint!
The pulled chicken and pork platter was damn good. Pork was fatty, juicy and packed with flavor. The sauce was a sweet and slightly spicy Carolina style. Hush puppies were a bit dry, but the BBQ beans were quite good.
Definitely worth the detour off the interstate! -

Got a gift card to this restaurant -- we wouldn't have gone otherwise, and we would have missed out. The food was excellent, done to perfection, and the service was good. Wish we would have discovered it sooner; we would have gone more often.

How did I find this place?
I had the strange craving for some meat on my way from Slade, KY to Fayetteville, WV. After days in the small (nonexistent) town of Slade, I wanted some good old American BBQ, and Buddy's delivered, actually google map delivered when I searched in the 300-mile range.
I had my share of BBQ, and maybe Buddy's can't compare to some of the places I been to, but it is my go to place if I ever make the same trip.
The wings are very good, especially with the southwest dry-rub. They have a spicy scale. I tried their hottest sauce: The Bomb, it was hot, but compare to some hot wings I had, it will just break a little sweat from your forehead. They are big, and for $10, you can get a order of 10 wings. I ate 6 and was stuffed.
My friend got the combo plate with ribs and brisket. The brisket is fatty (yummmmm), but they could use a bit more seasoning. Ribs are just as good as you can find at a decent BBQ place.
Pull pork sandwich is only $6.50. Yummmy!
Now on to the sides:
Hush puppies: a little dry, but hey, I never like them.
Potato salads: very good.
Green beans: they used the really big ones, mushy, but since I like collard greens, I liked it.
Beer, I was very happy to find out they have Bluemoon on tap, served with a chilled beer mug. Hooooorayyyyyy!
Service is good, our waitress was on top of her sh!t.
Then I suffered severe food coma for the rest of my trip. -

Went to Buddy's for lunch while visiting Marshall Univ for work. Decent BBQ - lots of smoke flavor and good sauce although their "hot" sauce was barely that. Was surprised to see brisket featrued prominately on the menu this far north - usually don't see good brisket except in Texas!
My co-worker had the nachos as an entree- a huge plate smothered in pulled pork and cheese. I didn't try any but they sure did look good. -

I almost always have a good experience at Buddy's. The wings are probably the best to be found in or near Huntington (the only real competitor might be Giovanni's, but I haven't had theirs in years now). Normally I order the half barbecued chicken, which is solid, and their brisket nachos are also good.
The reason I said 'almost' in the first line of the review is that the food can really kind of blow on bike night, when they're slammed (I don't remember which night of the week this is). My food came out really quickly once when I went then, but was nearly lukewarm and dry as hell. Anyway, that's been the only bad thing to ever happen to me at Buddy's, and things can go wrong absolutely anywhere from time to time. -

Between good and great bbq depends on the days. The homemade chips with ranch dressing maybe a heart attack on a plate but it is good! The portions are good and will fill you up.
Gotta try the sweeeeeeet tea! Served in old school mason jars. I've heard good thinks about the brunswick stew and beef brisket (haven't had them myself but people I trust order them each time).
I've had the ribs several times and I haven't been blown away by them but the pulled pork and hushpuppies...get'er done!
The location is right down the street from campus and has a home town feel. -

When people come in to visit from out of town, I usually have to take them there. With my dad in town, we had to. The BBQ is probably the second-best in the Huntington area, but for what it lacks there, it makes up for in atmosphere and feel--not being a chain. So if you want BBQ that's 95% of the way there and some solid local feel this is a good place to get some food.
What does it lack? There's only one type of sauce available on the table, the quality varies from pretty good to REALLY good depending on the day, and sometimes the portions seem a little stingy.
They've also started doing half-priced appetizers from 4pm-close. That was an awesome surprise--and their nachos with brisket make a FINE (almost meal sized) appetizer. -

Really good BBQ, decent prices but terrible sides. Overall not too bad. Enjoyed the ribs and the atmosphere.

Went here for lunch. The help was friendly, and prices were reasonable. The Bar-B-Que, was excellent, and the sides (Potato salad) was tops. A great place for lunch when you have a hankering for bar-b-que and good old southern food.

This is the best bar b que place in the city, especially if you want something other than the overwhelming taste of smoke in your food. Good variety, appropriate atmosphere, and close to campus. Also has a nice patio if you want to eat outside.
