Classic Sacramento Restaurants and Eateries to Try - Eater SF

"Bud’s is a well-worn cafeteria-style spot near the state Capitol, packed with state workers grabbing a quick lunch. Big hunks of meat, including pastrami and roast beef, marinate in steam trays and are carved to order. The French dip is rightly popular, and the spicy Bud’s Diablo, piled high with tender, pink roast beef and loaded with jalapeños, is the pick for those who like it spicy. You can also just live your best grandpa life by picking a meat and getting it as an open-faced sandwich, covered with gravy and mashed potatoes." - Becky Grunewald

Where to Eat and Drink Near the Sacramento Convention Center - Eater SF

"Bud’s Buffet feels like a relic from another era, with enormous sandwiches featuring hot roasted meats and rotating specials like salisbury steak and meatloaf. The roast beef with au jus is the classic order, but regardless, you’ll want to prepare for a food coma." - Janelle Bitker

Yeah buddy! This place is like no other. Good food and good service. The sandwich meat is sliced to order. I got the lunch special Mixed Grill, (beef, pork and pastrami in BBQ sauce) enough for two people or save for later. There a two window tables for dining which are neat.

Bud's is a fantastic little spot. I'd never heard about it while going to Sam's for the longest time but now I'm a convert. Got the 2 meat plate with pastrami and BBQ pork and my God it was fantastic. I need to keep going back as I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to their gravy and their pastrami is absolutely fantastic. I'm a big fan of thick cut meat, but I'll make the exception for Bud's. It was. GREAT.

I always enjoy coming to buds. It's a simple cafeteria style lunch place with great sandwiches. I enjoy the hero sandwich, but the roast beef is my recommended choice, especially buds Diablo sandwich. I have yet to try the lasagna, but I've heard great things about it. If you ever have a sandwich craving in downtown sac, come here.

Been wanting to try this place. Saw the roast beef sandwich piled high with med rare meat and looked great. Got the French dip and disappointed. Not much meat and very greasy au jous. Red to skim the fat. Potato salad good - mild no onion. I like the menu and will be back. Try something else

Old school look + feel with the classic, good taste. Highly recommend "The Mix" or French Dip sandwich.

Same great sliced meats. You can have spicy diablo style with any meat. We also ask for aujus to dip, you will need to use all the napkins they give you...

Love this place! I've been coming here for decades...it's THAT good. They roast their own meats and the sandwiches are piled high. The family that owns this restaurant are very kind and helpful. If you're looking for Fancy, this isn't it. If your looking for Great food and a good price this IS it. There's always a line but they're worth the wait. Go! You'll love it!

I've just been to lunch here for the first time today. I had a 'Big Bud' with roast beef and pastrami with everything on it. The meat is hot and sliced infront of you whilst you wait. So the meat is tender, hot, juicy and full of flavor...but with the side of dipping gravy takes the sandwich to the next level. I new favorite sandwich shop
