Bud's Bar — Restaurant in Schoolcraft Township

Well, this place is interesting!! Walking in on a Thursday evening around 5:30 and most of the patrons are probably in their 70's and 80's. A lot of them couples taking up 4 person tables and none open to spare. There is no hostess so bring a stick to melee with others when a table opens, you will not have time for it to be cleaned. The music is all early 80's new wave with occasional 80's rock. Think Frankie goes to Hollywood, A-Ha, Dexy Midnight Runners, with Van Halen's Jump. Your grandparents probably aren't a fan of this. The remodel looks pretty nice so there is that.

I sat at the bar and decided to order the food to go. The menu is really small and fills one page - barely. Do you want a burger or a burger? The food took 35 minutes to arrive. It was basically just pre-made warehouse pattys and fries. $12.50 for this? No condiments on the burger, either.

There is no web page, no phone number, no online menu, most reviews and pictures are 5 years old or more. Current reviews aren't very good. But the place is packed so hey! I'll probably return in a year or two and...

We just stopped for a drink On Saturday December 14 at 5-6 PM . I ordered a margarita so, the bartender a blonde loudly mouth girl took our order but, at the same time she was talking to a male bartender, tall black hair, very happy guy. He jumped saying I will make it.... Then she still talking and then both vanished. Hello..... Where they went... No idea! Then he showed up and told me that was no margarita mix and then he served me a drink that literally sucks 😞, then the margarita mix arrived and he made me another margarita, he asked me how is now? Well you kinda screwed because was no in a margarita glass and no salt in the glass I said (joking ). Then he fixed. The drink was ok and the young man was nice the whole time we spend at the bar. The atmosphere at the place was nice, a beautiful fireplace was on and the people seem enjoying...

We recently visited Buds, and unfortunately, the service was disappointingly slow to the point we didn’t get to eat the food. While I understand that mistakes happen, what made the experience worse was the complete lack of acknowledgment or apology from the staff. There was no communication about the mix up until after an hour of waiting, no check-ins, and certainly no effort to show any empathy.

A simple “we appreciate your patience” or an update on our order in a timely matter would have gone a long way, but instead, we were left feeling ignored. The food itself is usually decent had we had a chance to eat, but the poor service overshadowed the experience. We paid $100 for food we didn’t get to enjoy. I hope management addresses this issue because good service is just as important...
