Buddies Market Country Store & Cafe

"Is this place even open any more. I use to stop by there on the way to work and i live right down the street. Gas pumps are on. Says it opens at 5am mon-fri but the lights are off in the store and doors are still locked at 5:30am anyone know what's going on?"

"Formerly called D. Boones (We'll always call it Boones, even with the new name, which I personally don't care for). They recently changed the name, put up a new sign, and new owners operate the business now. They have a dining section for the café and a separate section for the store. The convenience store stocks most things any convenience stores carry, and there are a variety of items on their menu in the café. There is no table service, unfortunately. You order at the counter for your meal/food. And they serve everything on Styrofoam plates, etc. Lately, customer service has been hit or miss. The staff isn't as friendly as it used to be. I stop by numerous times throughout the week to grab a bite or just to snag something from the store. Their fuel prices run high, a lot higher than other places, so don't be surprised when filling up. Generally, I ONLY gas up there if absolutely necessary."

"Best Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit around and love the BLT as well, very fresh when called in or ordered inside. Looking forward to trying different food they offer on future visits."

"If given a choice, I would not rate my horrific experience even a one star! Overcooked bacon on jalapeño poppers - way overcooked bacon - far TOO crisp - to the point of having black on meat - I specifically requested to have 6 poppers cooked, done, but not to point of being burned. The first batch was more burned than the ones remaining in the display case, so I asked they be redone. Much to the chagrin of two employees, they placed a second order for me. Why does an employee appear frustrated when a paying customer, who helps with his/her salary, requests a food item be prepared to the customer’s satisfaction and is not willing to take an item in any sloppy condition handed to him/her? I wonder if “the second” boat of poppers was really still the first one being brought out as though it was a redo? My thinking is that a business’s first priority is to its paying customers and not to the cooks’ “take what I fixed and like it!”. The previous owners would personally oversee the remaking of a product and make certain it was cooked correctly and to the customer’s satisfaction (Fortunately, that only happened twice). We were always regular customers of D-Boone’s because of their excellent food quality and customer service; however, because of the lack of both in this transfer of ownership, we have rarely gone, and I will not ever spend another nickel inside this new establishment. I understand the bacon needs to be cooked at a certain temperature, but it does not need to be OVERcooked. At least D-Boone’s cooked them perfectly and yummy well - not burned - not raw! Additionally, I ordered a small dinner salad which consisted of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a small amount of cheese. Quick and easy, right? Shouldn’t have been, but … ! My husband was served his roast beef, green beans, corn, and roll, and two customers behind me received their to go orders before I received my salad. Definitely not a pleasant evening! Definitely not customer service oriented! Even the money refunded for my poppers and small dinner salad orders does not make up for the inexcusable customer service!"
