We finally resumed our gustatory journey down Grand River Avenue this week. The next stop was Buddies Pub and Grill, a strip mall restaurant/bar that I've always threatened to take my kids to, but never followed through on the threat. It has taken 17 years to eat there.
Worth the wait? Not really. It was utterly ordinary restaurant/bar food. Not bad, not great. Not overpriced, not particularly cheap. I had chicken enchiladas. They came with tastelessly seasoned white rice and tasteless refried bean mush. The enchiladas themselves had a sauce that tasted like it came out of a can. Insignificant chunks of chicken. Cindy's turkey reuben was equally uninspiring. She said the best part of her meal was the french fries, which were particularly crispy and tasty.
I'm sure that Buddies is a regular hangout for some people. I suspect their burgers are fine. I suspect their beer is fine.
Rating on a scale of 1-10: 5.
Will we go back? Probably not.
