Bud’s Chicken & Seafood

I found out about this place on google. I was visiting the area for the weekend and wanted some chicken. First thought, the place was a clean inside and the staff was nice enough. The chicken was good but I’ve had better. I’d compare it to a Popeyes or KFC. not bad

We went to Bud’s today at 1:00 for lunch. She had the seafood platter and I had the 4 piece fried chicken dinner. Plus a diet Pepsi. We have always liked Bud’s, with only a few bad experiences over the last 20 years. Well, today was the best visit we’ve ever had. All the foods were heavenly-​perfect and the staff was excellent. The dining room was clean and the atmosphere was terrific. What an excellent crew today, 9÷26÷2015 at 1:00! Top notch and easily still the best restaurant of any kind in our Lake Worth area! Thank you, Bud’s, for being there for us. Truly! :)

Have gotten food here a couple more times in the last few weeks. The main reason I am giving them another star is because they have superb toilet paper in their men’s restroom. If you are planning to use the bathroom before, during, or after your meal and can’t decide on a restaurant, then this is the clear winner (all other things being equal among choices).
Keep an eye on your receipt too — I was once charged a nickel for my meal instead of the actual amount. Just notify them if it happens so they can charge the real amount — gotta keep this sweet chicken joint in business.
Don’t like to talk to people? — the wifi passcode on locked wifi is «budsdixie».

Decent spot for fast food fried fish. I’d skip the crabcake, it was on the dry side with a weird seasoning, but other than that, this place is ok.

I LOVE Buds! I have been eating there for years and it’s the BEST chicken. The fries are great, the hush puppies are tender and the slaw is outstanding. Be sure you eat everything while it’s hot! You are in for a real treat!

If you’re in the mood for fried food this is the place to be. The portions are huge and the service is not what you would expect for a fast food style restaurant.
The girls working at Bud’s are super friendly and seem to really care about making your visit enjoyable. Usually my husband will pick up the food and bring it home but the other evening it was late for us and we just wanted to eat asap. Whenever he comes home from the drive through he always say’s how professional they are and never has to worry about our order being messed up.
Well the other evening I got to see it first hand and I was really impressed. From the restroom to dining area the place was spotless. The girls working behind the counter were continuously busy and never seemed to be just standing around. Food came out pretty fast and when I asked for a sauce that does not come with the meal one of the girls said of course and packed me one up. Most places nickle and dime you for all that but not as Bud’s.
As for the food it’s amazing. Can fried and light go in the same sentence? Well it does here. I love the batter and I have to say it’s flaky and seasoned perfectly. Crinkle cut fries are insane and the fried shrimp will leave you wanting more. I don’t even use sauce with them since the flavor is perfect without. I don’t know what to call the corn balls (they are not hush puppies) but they are life changing. They might be better with a side of syrup but I promise you they are” Fight for over who get’s the last one” good!
They do not have Bud’s in Broward so when ever my mom or friends come up they ask to get Bud’s. It’s a must try for the fried fan.

By comparison to similar establishments the fried chicken is bland but their chicken finger dinners are on point, and I can’t stay away from those thick crinkle cut fries.

Bud’s rocks. No clue who Bud is but he makes great chicken. But chicken is always third on my list to the sweet corn fritters and clams. Hot golden deep fried heaven that carry great on a long car ride.
People behind the counter to seem to love their job or at least their customers and co-​workers. They always have smiling faces that seem like you just missed a good joke. And the food is great and fast. I even love the cold slaw that’s also is made a little sweet.
Interesting rumor — they allow you to buy their chicken frozen at ½ the cost. (I haven’t confirmed) because I’m to lazy to come here for cold food. If you’re in Palm Beach you should stop into Bud’s.

Fish didn’t taste right. Took it back. Exchanged for pork sandwich. Very fatty. Nice people. Food slipping?

I’ve been going to this and other Bud’s takeouts for 45 years. This one was originally located between 9^th and 10^th on N. Dixie in Lake Worth, moved to Fordham and N. Dixie in Lake Worth in about 1971 and then moved to this location about 10 years after that. Their food and business model has changed remarkably little over the years. Clean — consistent — quality.

Bud’s deserves more love. This place is great! The chicken is Delicious, the fish is amazing and the corn fritters… omg. It’s not healthy, that’s for sure. So if you’re looking for something lite, skip it. If you’re looking for gluttonous, fried food happy time, this is the place. I’ve been going here since I was in preschool and it is still just as good. I highly recommend any of their locations.

Very Clean — Great Service — Good Food
