Bud's is a comfortable, family-style establishment with great food and healthy portions. None of the LA-chic garnish-and-a-medallion-of-meat attitude here. Servings are Midwest-generous and the service is fast.\r

The Clam Chowder comes in New England style and Manhattan style. The New England I ordered was positively tasty and filling. The salad that accompanied my grilled salmon was big enough for two, and my salmon was very, very good.\r

Service was prompt. I liked the straight-forwardness of the place. No attempt at being anything other than a comfortable, pleasant place to dine on excellent seafood (though they also feature an array of chicken and pasta dishes).\r

In keeping with the quality of the food,prices were stiff...about $19 for the salmon but as I mentioned, the salad and the rice and veggies that accompanied that entree were very generous.
