Hi, Buddy's does not take reservations. What we did and we also went on a Friday was go early. We stayed at the Hilton right across the street and walked over and there were plenty of tables. They have a free show and then I believe afte 8:00 there is a charge. We just stayed for the free show and it was excellent!
