PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A longtime Palm Beach County favorite is getting some big recognition from the people who know it best.
Bud’s Chicken and Seafood has been part of the community since 1957, when it began as a small takeout spot. Decades later, it has grown into a local staple, and it’s still run by the same family, now three generations in.
Now the restaurant has another honor to celebrate. This local staple is our Dishin’ It Out winner for “Best Fish Sandwich” in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, as voted by the viewers.
We recently visited the newest Bud’s location on Boynton Beach Boulevard near Lyons Road, where the growth of the business is on full display. But despite the expansion to seven locations — all within Palm Beach County — the foundation remains the same.

Brothers Chris, Nick and Phillip Brinkman, who now help run the business, say it all goes back to how it started.
Carrying on a family business that spans nearly 70 years comes with a deep sense of responsibility. The brothers say it’s about more than just keeping the doors open — it’s about honoring the work and values passed down from their parents and grandparents.
