    For the last year I've been hearing about the infamous Bud's Restaurant from a coworker.  My coworker has lived in Nashua his entire life and has been telling me that Bud's has a great breakfast.  Today I finally experienced it for myself.
        I went to Bud's with my girlfriend and another couple.  We pulled up to the restaurant (10AM) and had no problem getting a parking spot just outside the entrance.  Unlike most breakfast joints in the area, we were able to walk into Bud's and immediately sit at an open table, there was no wait at all.  Our waitress was great too, she came right over and started us off with coffee and juice and came back promptly when we were ready to order.   The menu was a traditional breakfast menu, nothing fancy.  I ended up getting "The Big Boy Breakfast".  I really don't think you could possibly beat the value.  I think it was right around $7 and it came with three eggs, maybe 4-5 strips of bacon, a ham steak, 2 sausages, toast and hash-browns.
          I'm pretty good at eating, and I even had some food left on my plate at the end of our meal.  You couldn't possibly leave this place hungry.  The eggs were cooked just as I requested, over easy.   They exploded with yummy warm yolk as soon as my fork tore into them.  The hash was processed which was a bit disappointing and the bacon wasn't the best I've ever had, but no complaints really, it was still bacon and hash!!  
        My four stars is based on the fact that there was no wait, the food was above par, the wait staff was great, the food came quick and the overall value was terrific.  Now as far as being "The Best", maybe in Nashua BUT I'm going to have to say Mary-Ann's in Londonderry is still my favorite when it comes to breakfast.  Bud's was good though and I would go there again and I would recommend for others to go there as well.

    Bud's is a place that we know will give us a good breakfast. We typically go weekday mornings, so I can't talk about weekend traffic - but my two year old loves the eggs and each I thing that I've tried has been pretty decent. After about 4 trips, we have no food complaints - as I wasn't expecting a luxury breakfast.  The parking spots are kind of narrow and I imagine tough to come across on a weekend.

    Good place for a traditional, down-home diner-style greasy spoon breakfast!

    Had the Corned Beef and Hash, with two eggs over medium, breakfast potatoes, and wheat toast, plus coffee.

    Food came out quickly, the one downer is the hash is the processed, out-of-the can stuff.

    Service was prompt!

    Can't believe how highly rated this is!?? Definitely NOT the best breakfast in the city.

    Average greasy spoon. My home fries may have had onions, but they were crunchy and undercooked. Limp, flavorless bacon. Greasy eggs. Coffee was worse than gas station coffee, tasted like the coffeemaker hadn't been cleaned in a decade.

    Enormous disappointment, considering their previous glowing reviews.

    Brought my family here this morning for breakfast.  Service was attentive and food was filling.  I noticed they made my Dad's eggs perfect-nice and runny just how he likes it.  Sister liked her omelette and they gladly substituted her toast for a bagel.  I loved the coffee.  I was thrilled to discover a third of my omelette hidden under my toast.  There was so much food, sister and I had leftovers.  This doesn't excited me as much as having another local business to patronize.  I will be brunching here in heavy rotation!

    I had to kill some time the other day, and stopped in for breakfast.  There were quite a few cars parked around it, so I figured it must be good.  It's basically your little mom and pop type operation with about 20 tables and a counter you can sit at.  The service was quick and friendly.  I had a couple of scrambled eggs with raisin toast, home fries, and bacon.  I asked if the home fries were pan fried(my favorite) and waitress said yes, or deep fried if you wish.  I said pan and then she asked I wanted onions with them.  That's a big plus and kind of rare, so I was thrilled with that development.  The food arrived fairly quickly.  The eggs were very good, as were the home fries(with onions!) and raisin toast.  The bacon was a bummer.  It had little flavor, and though the count was good(4 slices), it just didn't have that great bacon flavor one craves when ordering it.  I would try the sausage next time.  

    The place was very clean - a big plus.  They serve breakfast and lunch only, with most items between $4 - 8.00, very reasonable.  My breakfast was $5.25.  You can get a 3 egg cheese omelet with toast and home fries for $4.95.

    Overall, a nice little neighborhood eatery with good prices.  I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, but I give them the benefit of doubt and go with four.  I much prefer places like this to big chains.
