Buds In Milton

Oh boy... what can I say? Great opportunity for a great bar, but no.. this place is struggling. Foods just ok. No live music, no kareoke... not really much to offer... which is sad, because it could be awesome with the right ownership.

I visited Buds for the 3rd time last night. The first 2 times I ran in, got a shot and then left. Both times I was pleasantly surprised with the prize and size of my shot.Last night was no different. My boyfriend ordered a double shot (pictured below) amd as you can tell by his face, he was pleased.We ordered some grub and it was all pretty good! Exactly what I want out of bar food; hot, fried, seasoned, and quick service.Also, won $75 on a pull tab so Bud's gets 5 stars!

First time visit and it's the last time! We stopped by this hole in the wall after doing a search for places with pull tabs, bad idea! After seating at the bar we were greeted and gave a drink order, that was the last time the sever came back! The worst part was the owner was up front counting the money and kept his back to us the entire time, not once offering to assist the server! Like wow, for real. After getting the server attention, we asked for the bill and left our money, while walking out, she said "sorry, I know you wanted to play pull tabs" Like, wait... what? Hard pass!

We'd been driving by Bud's for a couple of years and always remarked on how clean and well kept it looked from the exterior. Finally, one night after a particularly tiresome day at work we decided to stop, and I'm so glad we did! I've found a place that feels safe. It feels like home.Kat, the proprietress, is wonderful. After our first visit, she remembered us and our drink orders.We now stop at least once a week, and sometimes twice. As an older single woman, I'd have zero qualms walking in alone.The menu is extended bar food but the steaks are good and so are the generously poured drinks.I like this place. I like the regular crowd. I like Kat. And I'm glad I've found a place.

We just moved to the area and decided to check out a local bar. Group of four of us walked in and you could almost hear pin drops. Deer in headlights look from the bar staff and some of the people in there. We sat down and waited.. occasionally making eye contact with the bartender/server who made us feel like we were an inconvenience. We ordered a pitcher of beer, a basket of wings and fries to share, and we were out of there like a bat out of hell. The most awkward bar experience we've been through. You swear it was out of a movie.Gave three stars because the wings and fries were not bad. Sounds like this place doesn't have the most welcoming vibe to new faces. But then again, it might be a local divey bar thing. Oh well.. lesson learned.

I am going to say That I did not know that Stephanie is no longer working at Buds. I will miss her. The new bartender seems to be really a good bartender.

Nice servers. Baked potato is good. Don't order the nachos or the fries: fries are gross from a frozen bag.Strong drinks.Helps when you come here a time or two.

I love old taverns with character. I love unpretentious food with good service. This is my local watering hole. I don't always want to watch my language or be politically correct. It's is where I sometimes go to watch a game and be pampered by people who know me. This is my dive bar and it's pretty darned awesome. The pic here is of their (chicken and Jo-Jo's). It's a half of a full chicken that they so kindly rolled in hot sauce for me. Yes the entire half chicken. They make the best jo Jo's here by hand. They have all manner of beer and drinks .... But they keep rainier cans on ice! It just doesn't get better for me. Good dive vibes here.

We've purchased their Chicken and Jo's for many years but this last order was NOT good. Not sure if they've changed suppliers for the chicken, but it was a big disappointment. The chicken was tough and stringy. Bud's is an institution in our community and their staff is fantastic! Hope their chicken gets better soon.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The bartender Cat is AWFUL! Rude and pushy. I asked for a shot with a sprite back and she made me an entire drink, when I tried to correct her she said " Well, I already made it." We got there at 6:50 and wanted to play pool. She said we better make it quick cause she wanted to leave soon. It was 6:50! She then proceeded to come over and badger us about making it quick. What a loser. This place has so much potential but she ruined our experience and we will never return unless she is replaced with a knowledgeable, friendly bartender.
