An incredible breakfast and a true walk back in time. Great nostalgia and awesome staff. So glad to see this place is open and successful, a great place to take the kids, antiques as well as a wonderful breakfast.

Kids had a blast, super kid, friendly. And the food was amazing. Our server Elaina was amazing as a new general manager, checked on the several times to make sure everything was exactly as we expected. And yes, it was perfect.

We had such a fun visit to this eclectic place. It’s decorated with a lot of fun and interesting memorabilia from the last century.

The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The food was interesting and tasty.

The basement and second floor was full of antiques- I found a 100 year old Corona type writer on sale for $60 and saw it on eBay for $1000. Will look great in our den.

The best part was that our dog was able to join us and had her own menu. She was thrilled and we had a great time.

We’ve been here twice recently for brunch and were pleasantly surprised both times!! The Bloody Mary is a perfect execution of a classic Bloody Mary, the meatball appetizer is so hearty and cheesy I could eat just that and leave satisfied. Service was delightful both times, shout out to Lori who was quite kind and lovely. Today I got the breakfast skillet, but the Benedict and sausage gravy have both been on point in the past. From food, to service, to venue you can’t go wrong if you’re patient and there for the vibes. Bonus points for the cool playlist.

Buddylou's is everything I could ever want in a restaurant! The food was SO good, especially the crab fries! I highly recommend them. The atmosphere is so quaint and cozy with every wall decorated from top to bottom with antiques. It is also the most dog friendly restaurant I've ever been to and I absolutely love that! Also, I love how they have their own little ice cream shop downstairs. The homemade butterscotch pudding they have there is out of this world! My fiance and I said we will be craving this on the daily now. I also want to give a shout-out to our server, Jordan, who was just as sweet as could be and super attentive. We can't wait to go back on our next road trip through the area!

***Guys take your ladies here for a date!!!***

The term hidden gem doesn't seem to do justice to the truly magnificent establishment. Buddylou's offers to those weary explorers willing to traverse westward into marylands Appalachian ridge. From top to bottom Buddylou's offers cycles for rent along the Potomac, a basement ice cream parlor, first floor dining and drinks 🥂 and attic antiques.

We started with cycling the cost is by the hour and they have 2 and 4 seat rentals. The trail is beautiful and well populated with other cyclist, and a few walkers(not the kind that bite).

We had wings as a started and they far surpassed expectations, easilly rivaling major wing chains. For my main course I ordered ribs my personal favorite food, and these did not disappoint falling just short of fall off the bone perfection. Light pressure was enough to pull a part these beauties. A solid 9.5/10. The mac and cheese is sinfully delicious served in a cast iron pan to give that slight crunch along the sides, I find myself salivating simply recanting the tantalizing texture of these saucey noods. The few bites I stole from my girls burger were as delightful as the rest of the meal. For dessert I had a white Russian milkshake. I don't think I was truly mentally prepared for alcoholic dessert because I found myself enjoying my girls Sunday much more, but to each there own. The decore of the establishment is rustic. Vibing with the for sale antiques on the top floor, scattered through out are pieces of nostalgia from at least the last century. I highly recommend this to everyone. Especially guys in search of a romantic outting for their partner.
