Buddy's On The Beach - Lake Odessa

Buddy on the Beach is essentially Lakewood’s Applebee’s with Bowling. The big difference is that there is clearly a hometown feel. The servers and staff get to know you and you feel like family. The food is consistently good. They always have amazing daily specials like Fried Chicken Wraps or seasonal specials like Cabbage and Corned Beef. Once seated service is quick. The servers often go of their way get you what you need. My only concern is that there is occasionally there is a lack of On Stage and Backstage awareness. Certain conversations and opinions should not be shared around customers and guests. You can be authentic as an employee without losing professionalism or oversharing. People are always watching and listening. It’s an area thar needs little focus. Overall it shouldn’t take away from your experience because the cooks are pretty amazing.
