Buddy's bar-b-q
About
Buddy's bar-b-q has been serving East Tennessee since 1972, specializing in slow-cooked meats like pulled pork, smoky ribs, and smoked chicken prepared on-site in their signature pit. The laid-back, no-frills setting focuses on delivering classic barbecue flavors at a great value, making it a solid choice for casual team lunches or informal client gatherings.
The venue accommodates groups comfortably with hearty portions and friendly service, though the atmosphere is straightforward rather than polished. Buddy's is ideal for business events where flavorful, satisfying food and a relaxed vibe are priorities without the need for elaborate setups or formalities.
