Buddy's Grill — Restaurant in Claremore

We live in Tulsa, but came to Claremore for the day to check out all of the antique stores. I looked at the map prior to coming up to see where we were going to eat. We chose Buddy's Grill since it's not too far from the little downtown square. We actually walked to Buddy's Grill from the square so that we would not lose our parking spot. The walk really isn't too bad. Now, on to the food at Buddy's Grill. I should mention this was a Saturday at lunchtime. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and told to sit wherever we like. We chose a booth in the corner. The place is quite spacey and clean. The waitress was quick to come over to take our drink order. Quick to bring our drinks out and then she took our order. There are so many choices on the menu. Everything sounds good so we just had to basically point and choose. My son ordered the kids cheeseburger with fries. I ordered the Garlic Toast Swiss Burger with fries, and my husband ordered the Spicy BBQ Burger with fries. We also ordered an appetizer of Chili Cheese Tater Tots. The Chili Cheese Tater tots came out pretty quickly and they gave us enough plates so we could all share. The chili was really good and the tots were still somewhat crispy. We finished those pretty quick. Then the food came out. Let's start with the fries. They are obviously fresh fries and they are seasoned amazingly. Usually you have to pay extra for seasoned fries, but not here. My son said his cheeseburger was really tasty. They let him decide what goes on it so as to not waste anything. He got just cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. He took half of it home. My Garlic Toast Swiss Burger was so good. The meat has to be fresh and not frozen. It was super juicy and so flavorful. The toast it came on was good too. My husband said his Spicy BBQ Burger was one of his top three favorite burgers so far. He ate every last bite. (Side note: We just moved to Tulsa from Las Vegas about two years ago and we have had a hard time finding good food here in Oklahoma, but we will definitely come back to Buddy's) He said the bbq sauce was really good and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Oh, and he added bacon to his. The waitress was very nice and super helpful when it came to me not being able to make up my mind deciding what I wanted to order. While paying for our meal, she also gave us three Buddy's Perk Cards where you get a free meal after 10. I think we will definitely use these. The drive from Tulsa wasn't too bad. It's not too far for good food. If you haven't tried them yet, you should Buddy's on your list. If you have made it this far, thanks...

This review is a joy for me to write. After a long bout of subpar and mediocre eateries, I found one that satisfied my picky butt. The Son and I ventured over to C'more for lunch. It was Friday, and I wanted out of the house for a bit. Buddy's is definitely off the beaten track, but that doesn't lessen the quality of the food one bit. We both had the Chicken Fried Steak, me going with mashed potatoes and gravy with onion rings, The Son opting for double sweet potato fries. Both were outstanding. The CFS was BY FAR one of the best I've had in a long, long time. It's not overly huge, so it fills you up nicely without overdoing it. Fork tender, packed with flavor, and covered in an outstanding cream gravy. And those onion rings.... holy hula hoops Batman... I'd make the trip back just for those. In fact, I can see that happening next week, probably. Service was outstanding as well, being prompt and very friendly. Definitely planning on return trips to sample both breakfast and other...

Went out to eat last night and was going to get one of their famous hamburgers which are delicious but they were having a special on their flat iron steak. Almost didn't order it because so tired of dried out and tough steak but this was the tenderest juiciest steak I have ever had in my life and I have eaten in a lot of restaurants including living in New Orleans where some of the best restaurants in the world are. I could actually cut my steak with a forkl! The flavor was perfect. Cooked to perfection! I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant. The steak was so good I just had to write a review. Also the shrimp that came with it was delicious and the price was only $13! Incredible! Anywhere else would be atleast $20 and not near as good! Not a fancy restaurant just one the best! You certainly get your money's worth...
