Review - Buddies USA

Kennedy Burger add bacon Buddies Rushden Dec 2013

As a food fanatic, I like to think I can try and enjoy almost any food and try any new food. I like to think of my self as a an adventurous foodie, however the reality is actually I am more of an Habitual. Someone who prefers creature comforts, sticks to what I know is good, probably has 1 of maybe only 3 items from the menu. This is definitely the case with me at Buddies,

Located throughout the heart of Northamptonshire and newly Buckinghamshire this independent chain of "Diners" brings you dangerously close to what I can only imagine actual American diners are like. Take out over exuberant happy American waiting staff bouncing around like you see on the movies, everything else screams US of A. Having never been to the states I can again only sit in a booth close my eyes and picture an American town or city with a Buddies in.

The sheer amount of variety of big hearty heart stopping food is overwhelming, their menus are so big its often hard to engage a conversation, the menu's tower over head height packed full from edge to edge front and back. Its speciality I guess are their burgers, 4 sizes of beef patties, optional chicken breasts, add on ribs, wet fries, the most amazing "slaw" and the meals are all very reasonably priced.

For me the winner is always their Kennedy Burger with added bacon, a 8oz burger in a fresh chunky bun, topped with an over generous amount of Garlic mayo, cheese, and mushrooms, add in the bacon and we have lift off. A large pot of slaw and a ridiculous amount of crisp chunky fries finish off the meal, wash down with a Diet Coca Cola and I am in burger heaven.

From the first time I went until the next time it remains one of my favourite restaurants to date. I have never ever experienced bad food at any of their restaurants I have dined in, my Local is located on the A45 east bound just before the Rushden turn off. The town centre (Northampton) is the best for décor and service but is often hard to get a table, the one by Grange Park (A45 West Bound just before M1 J15) although a competitor and rival of mine is also very good offering again  
very good service.

No doubt my Partner and I will be heading back in a weeks time for her birthday.
