BUD'S CHICKEN & SEAFOOD – Restaurant

Bud's Chicken & Seafood sits on Okeechobee Boulevard near Royal Palm Beach Commons, doing what this Palm Beach County family has done since 1957: fresh chicken, never frozen, hand-breaded in house and dropped to order. The seafood side runs wild-caught Alaskan cod, shrimp, clam strips and a full seafood platter. Family Feasts feed a table, while the Lunch Bunch keeps midday cheap. Do not skip the corn fritters, crisp outside, soft within. Coleslaw, macaroni salad and baked beans come from the company commissary kitchen in Boynton Beach. Counter service, a drive-through and a dining room. Closing time is nine sharp.
