Buddy’s bar-b-q Announces New Hours

  • Thursday, September 9, 2021

Buddy’s bar-b-q is announcing new store hours for its three restaurants in the area. The Sunday through Thursday hours will be 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday hours will be 10:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. for the Hixson and Cleveland locations. East Ridge will have the same new set hours with the exception of closing on Mondays.

“We have deep appreciation for our dedicated crew members and remain committed to serve our customers as efficiently as possible,” said Darik Dawes, managing partner.

“Running a business is like sports and you have to adjust to game time conditions. We are optimistic that football-loving barbeque fans and fall family gatherings will enjoy our new hours.”

The three locations are in Hixson at 568 Northgate Mall Drive at the intersection of Hixson Pike and Highway 153, next to TJ Maxx, in East Ridge on Camp Jordan Parkway across from Top Golf and in Cleveland on Paul Huff Parkway across from Publix.

Buddy’s bar-b-q is famous for offering fresh hickory-smoked, pulled pork bar-b-q, smoked chicken and tender, mouth-watering ribs, along with hearty baked beans, fresh coleslaw, hush puppies, potato salad and delicious desserts of all kinds. The family recipes have been prepared the same way for the past 50 years. Buddy’s was first established in Knoxville, in 1972.

Buddy’s bar-b-q offers dine-in with both indoor and outdoor seating.  Buddy’s also has a drive-thru window and partners with various delivery services. Buddy’s bar-b-q has its own app to give customers as many convenient ordering choices as possible.
