Bud's Chicken&seafood

Buds Chicken was founded in 1957 by Bud Brinkman. Buds began as a single unit, take-out restaurant. The original menu featured a wide variety of items, but consumer demand began shaping Buds into a restaurant specializing in southern-style fried chicken, seafood,bar-b-q ribs and homemade salads. The success of the original Buds Chicken led to the opening of a second unit in 1976. Encouraged by South Florida s tremendous population growth Buds continued to open additional restaurants. Today, Buds is one of the largest family-owned and operated chicken and seafood restaurant chains in South Florida. Since its beginnings, Buds has been a family oriented business with close ties to Palm Beach County . This tradition has continued without interruption and today, the second generation of family is at the helm of Buds. Buds first restaurants were take-out only, but today Buds offers sit-down dining as well as convenient drive-thru service. While most of Buds customers remain loyal to the chicken and seafood entrees Buds is famous for, Buds stays responsive to changing customer demands by continually testing new menu items.
