Get a taste of local talent and food. It’s a nice place to enjoy a night out and have a drink. People there are super nice and the food is really good, specially the corn bread. Drinks are a bit too strong but tasty. The best part of this place has to be the music.

Fantastic food and great service! Buddy Guy's offers a really nice atmosphere. Serving size was very generous and the wait staff was fantastic. They seemed to work as a team which was nice to see. The okra was probably my favorite part of the dish.
