Best WLM Reviews

This is one of my top 10 places, I have ever been. When I walked in I felt a very calming atmosphere and overall friendliness. It is a small space, with five tables and a bar that seats at least six. The service was friendly and genuine. She had a great smile and was super attentive.
The pricing is crazy good and the serving can feed two people, if not take home for leftovers.
I had the tuna melt on sourdough with American cheese.
What I really liked is that the tuna salad was just tuna and mayonnaise. You can add tomato or onion or lettuce, if you choose, but I generally like a plain tuna melt.
You can always add a side for a little bit extra. But I chose to have a small bag of chips and a pickle.
The friend who met me for lunch, had a roast beef sandwich and it was stacked high with more of a pink roast beef and looked so good!!
She verified it was excellent.
I ordered a Lyman's, which is local, hard cider.
My total for the meal and drink was $17.50 and I tipped $5.
Parking is in the back, you pull into the Dunkin' donuts parking lot and drive to the back- right side.
I will definitely be back.
Bud's is my home away from home when traveling out this way for work. The prices are great and the lunch time deli sandwiches are awesome. In fact they're so good that I call in an order to pick up for dinner when I get out of work. Very friendly atmosphere. You can't go wrong
This is hands down the best sandwich in the area, served by a very friendly staff for a steal of a price!! Try the ruben.
Very friendly staff. Huge portions. Excellent sandwich
Super all gal owned & operated Dive bar!
Cheerful experienced staff, excellent lunch/supper food, all freshly prepared. Homemade scratch soups, kielbasa sandwiches, sloppy Joe's, great cold choices and sides. The beers are ice cold and the mixed drinks very ample. You should check it out. Very clean, easy parking.
I have visited twice and both times had excellent drinks and a great time. Prices seem reasonable, staff are friendly and quick. They make a great Bloody Mary here!
The owner is terrific, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is excellent!
A really modest place but in reality one of those local gems one loves to find Go for lunch (11 to 2), excellent at very good prices. Sandwiches are great and there are specials including soup made there. People there are friendly and you can eat there or take out. There is a bar with dining area.
