    Local dive bar with outdoor seating overlooking the water (when the tide is in). Extensive menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and steaks. Surprising selection of Asian dishes. Make sure you check out the specials which are displayed over the bar. I had the Kimchi Ramen which was pretty darn tasty. Also had the crab stuffed avacado which was delicious. The service is a little slow, but the staff is super friendly and laid back. Prices are reasonable and I’d definitely come back!

    Recommended to me by another local. Jack and Cokes here have got to be in the top 5 I’ve had. Perfectly crispy fries. The patio is amazing. Little slow in the kitchen when it’s busy on the weekend but understandably slow. 100% will be back with friends.

    This is me and my son's go to, for billiards and a beer. The food is excellent. All the employees are hella cool. I really enjoy the casual and welcoming atmosphere. The only reason I knocked off a star is because there's usually an issue with the girls toilet and more often than not the one pool table likes to keep one ball for itself :) making someone come unlock and grab it. (Which they always do graciously.)

    Okay everybody talks about "The local bar" in their town but listen when I say this. This bar has great food, beautiful and extremely polite and witty staff. The atmosphere is very relaxed. This is my watering hole. Inside and outside seating. Great music, and my personal favorite...PULL TABS! If you want the true well rounded bar and grill experience this is the place for you.

    Fun bar, very welcoming even though we were a large group and had just played the Goodwill game (where you dress your friends in funny clothes you buy at GW). Good drinks, good service!

    Love the variety of food on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone. The outside dining is where it's at, though. Overlooks the bay, lots of wildlife to watch. Fun bar at night. They have themed nights like karaoke and trivia nights. All around great venue.

    Nice local bar with good selection of bar food and some healthier items. Friendly staff, fast service and with plenty of seating. They have a couple pool tables and also a covered outside seating area with a view of the inlet. It can get busy on weekends and evenings, but you can always find a parking spot in there lot or across the street.

    Great New York strip steak dinner for very reasonable price. Good selection of micro brews and they have lots of dishes on the menu besides just the steak. Good service and quick. Pool tables and plenty of TV monitors for football. Thank you Buzz's, I'll stop by when I'm back in town.

    Down to earth feeling with some of the best smoked food I have had in years. Prices are good. Especially for how much food you get. In the the photo I attached there was so much food you can barely see the brisket under it all. Baked beans deserve a mention as well. Also I had already started on the ribs before I took the photo.

    Great little dive bar I guess. Bomb food anything on the menu is good hands down! The specials are amazing! The mixed drinks are well poured and tasty and the tap options are wide and plentiful. The crowd is chill and I've only ever had one creeper issue and the bar tenders handled it. Parking can blow sometimes, especially on a busy night. I would car pool if you can.

    This is one of my favorite places. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting and friendly. All of the staff are wonderful and always smiling and they are very accommodating. There are two pool tables the outdoor area is huge and beautiful! It sits right on the bay (Mudd bay) and some people boat in. This is the perfect place for a celebration or to just hang out.

    If you are looking for a five-star meal to post to stroke your ego by complaining about what they didn't do right to make you feel validated and like a princess, this place is not for you cupcake. Now, if you are looking for a good old-fashioned stlye dive bar and grill, this is your place. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Haven't been disappointed yet.

    I have been a loyal Buzz's regular for 12 years. Despite having contracted 14 cases of chlamydia while also sharing gonorrhea countless times with both men and women Buzz's Tavern has always treated me like family. Best food, service, and strange in the South Sound.

    Korean fried wings are not actually Korean style but were okay, not worth $2.50 per small/normal sized wing. The prices of the items we bought were actually a dollar per item more expensive than the menu on their site. The food was just okay. Cod, chicken strips and fries are all stuff they bought (think Sysco) deep frozen, not prepared in house.

    Boy oh boy... their kimchi ramen is amazing (I took it home and even though the noodles were steeped AKA soft, still delicious!) it's a hangover cure before you have one! The staff is amazing and none like you've ever known, they know your name before you say it type of place! Run with love and respect, my favorite place in the PNW and I'm sure many more think the same! Simply put, I love this place. ***Edit*** A month later and... consistency and quality should be their motto!! The staff is always amazing and the food is just as good! Buzz's isn't a dive bar... It's your dream bar 🍻🥰😜❤️

    Lively spot. Great service. Phenomenal views on the patio. Pub classics plus some items with a uniquely Korean touch. Comfortable atmosphere.

    This place is a nice get a way. Friendly staff and decent patrons. Can get noisy and crowded at game time but fun none the less. Wife and I enjoy it.

  • 5/5 Laurie F. 6 months ago on Google
    We love this bar. Staff always friendly and such a huge variety of foods to choose from. We enjoyed the spring rolls with pork and wings. Just an afternoon snack. But really everything is yummy.

  • 4/5 Dena W. 1 year ago on Google
    Always busy is a good sign. Expanded menu, tons of different choices. If you can't find something you want to eat here, you are in need of help. Beautiful deck view of Mudd Bay, clean and consistently good food and decent service. I stop here any chance I get if I don't have kids with me. If they had a family area, it'd be 5 stars. But, adults need their own place to go, too, so that's not based on quality of food or beverage service. Burgers are great, Philly cheese steak, apps are uniform and drink selection is quite good. Pool tables, karaoke nights and a beautiful place to sit outside in the evening dusk at high tide.

    The food was delicious and the service was amazing!! Found my new lunch spot!! (New York Steak Salad)

  • 5/5 Jordan B. 11 months ago on Google
    Food here is amazing! My friends and I go down to the area to disc golf from time to time, and we usually stop here for lunch and dinner. Everything we ordered just makes this. Want to order something else to try. The Korean dishes are especially good, I believe the owner is Korean and knows what he's doing.

    Top notch dive bar! Everything from pool to shuffleboard, open mic night, live bands, super friendly staff, and a wide variety of menu offerings that never disappoint. My only gripe is that the low quality pool tables are not level, but evidently that is due to the foundation settling unevenly. I have found the patrons to be welcoming and affable despite being from across a wide political, educational, and socio-economic range.

    Great food and very friendly staff. Love the burgers and tots. Recommend jalapeños on the burger. Great prices and specials.

  • 5/5 Elek K. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere very convivial right from the front door, very nice decor with pool tables and TVs to watch from any angle. Small place but lots of seating. Food was phenomenal and service was very quick and super friendly. Whole place was clean and comfy. Reminded me of bars from home in Ohio. Thank you!

    We took the wrong exit on a weekend trip (looking for a ‘comfort break’) and happened upon this gem! We only had a drink because we’d had an early lunch only 90ish minutes earlier, but oh my gosh did the menu look good. Then we saw a few orders go out and everything smelled and looked so amazing!! Can’t wait to try the food next time!! We felt welcomed by all of the people working there and service was quick and friendly even though they were all working hard in a busy environment. Very highly recommend! And thank you to the staff for doing such a great job!

    Great food, incredibly friendly staff. Attentive bartenders, and everyone looks like they’re enjoying their shift! Food was delicious, first time eating gizzards! Awesome hidden gem of a dive bar! My bill was only so high because I couldn’t leave and just kept ordering ;)
