    This is one of the only pubs in city where I can honestly say that the food is good!  The burgers are really good and they aren't over priced (which makes them even better).
    If you like watching hockey games, football games . . . etc, then Billy Budd's is the place to go.  They have so many TVs that you can see from anywhere in the entire place - and it's pretty big.
    They always show the UFC fights so if you go out to watch the fights (like I do), Billy Budd's is a great choice.  They will charge you $10 to get in on fight night and you'll want to get there early.  The last time I went there to watch the fights, I was there an hour and a half early and I got the last table!
    I have never had a problem with any of the servers at Billy Budd's; they all do a great job.  
    Also, if you're into off-track betting, Billy Bud's is a good place to bet on the horses!  
    I like going for the UFC fights and just to have a drink with a couple friends.

    This use to be our old hangout, but as friends move and people settle down, we come here less and less.   My last visit was a pleasant surprise because they have completely renovated the inside.  It is more spacious and the large screen T.V.s are the big draw.  I have never had any complaints about the food.  Big plates for a reasonable price.  The servers are top notch.  The bathrooms are always clean.  I have a problem with all the bikers smoking grass outside the entrance, but maybe that's me being a prude.  We arrived for a benefit concert and we were treated to some exciting, rock & roll entertainment.  We were still sneaking peeks at the big screens showing various sporting events.  Billy Buds is a fun place on a Friday night when you can play "Name that tune" for bar bucks.  We'll end up laughing, singing and dancing into the wee hours.  Don't you dare try to drive home afterward.  Mr. Po Po is waiting in the parking lot.

    The last time I was here, which was about two years ago, I had an inept waitress, who was too busy kissing her boyfriend in the corner and not doing her job properly. She only came around once the whole night and asked, "You don't want another refill, DO YOU?" (stupid bitch)

    It's unfortunate that a single incompetent employee can ruin the reputation of an otherwise good business.

    This was the case for me with Billy Budd's.

    I had to come here at the last minute this weekend because the regular bar I watch the UFC in wasn't showing it.

    This time I had an excellent server. She came around at least a half dozen times to refill drinks, take orders, bring extra napkins, etc.

    I agree with a lot that the reviewer Nicole wrote about.

    Billy Budds has excellent food and a diverse menu to choose from, which is rare for a blue collar lounge on the edge of an industrial park.

    The food came quickly and was delicious. And the prices here are very reasonable.

    The surroundings? I never bothered to look. I was too busy watching the pay per view.

    Billy Buds is a great place to watch pay per views or other sporting events because they have tonnes of big screen tvs scattered throughout the lounge. There is never a bad place to sit.

    The next time you want to watch your favourite sporting event and enjoy some good eats as well, check out Billy Budds, you won't be disappointed.
