Reviews For Bud's Tavern

Absolutely a lot of fun. We went while there was live music and man do the people pack in there. And outside they were doing their annual Christmas tree burn. Basically a bonfire where people bring the done Christmas trees and toss them on the fire. Awesome. I ended up getting the Best Burger with Seasoned Fries. Really good. And very reasonably priced. It really was a lot of fun.

This place never ceases to amaze me. Good music and fun. The owner introduced himself to us and that says a lot to how much he values his customers.

Awesome little (sort of) hidden away tavern just over the line from Wake County in Franklin County. Great people, great prices, really good burgers and dogs at reasonable prices!! Definitely coming back!! And a live band this Sunday!

This was our first time visiting and we'll definitely be back! We've driven by many times, and heard great things about Bud's Tavern! We went driving by and decided to stop in to check it out. I would say Bud's Tavern is a local bar along the lines of a biker bar - but think friendly bikers, where the locals go to hang out. There inside seating, with pool tables, patio seating, and outdoor seating. They have a large fire pit and a stage. Definitely a place to kick back, enjoy a few beverages, and great company. Tonight my wife and I got cheeseburgers and fries. The cheeseburgers were delicious, some of the best we've had. The fries were nicely cooked and tasty. Can't wait to go back!

This is a I LOVE thus Bar kind of place. It's in the woods, people are friendly, staff is amazing and the drinks are cold. Not a huge selection of beer but it's enough if that makes sense and the food is phenomenal and they run specials. 1 wings Monday, 1.25 taco Tuesday, 1/2 price Burger Wed etc plus they have darts, pool tables and a huge outdoor hang out area with a fire pit and of course bands. Check out their Facebook for what's going on and get a crispy bacon BLT its the best.

Wing special is awesome. A fun place to hear live music. The handicap ramp is long, but doable. Will visit again.

I recommend Bud's Tavern to everyone and encourage them to try the Best of the Best Burger and other foods provides at the bar. I visited Bud's Tavern last week during the BBQ Ribs Cook-off where Buck used GrampsBBQ Sauce and supported the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry. My friends and I enjoyed being part of the event as well as donating to the food pantry. I get a great gratitude from supporting local foundations, businesses, vendors, farmers markets, etc that keeps our small tight community together and thriving.
