A new restaurant has opened in Bundaberg Central, encouraging diners to connect with their curious inner child by pushing their culinary boundaries.
Find out what the team at Buddy Boy Kitchen had to say about their opening:
What inspired you to choose the Bundaberg Region as the location for your new business, and how do you see it fitting into the local landscape?
Our new Buddy Boy Kitchen location can be found on the fringe of town at Sugar Country Motor Inn.
It was evident that wonderful Bundaberg was going to be on top of our list for a new opening.
The Sugar Country Motor Inn is conveniently located a mere five minute walk from the centre of Bundaberg, making it one of the closest motels to the Bundaberg City Centre and therefore a great location to welcome Buddy Boy Kitchen guests.
Can you provide an overview of the unique services your business will offer?
The Buddy Boy Kitchen brand aims at connecting guests with their cheeky and curious inner child, encouraging them to push their culinary boundaries whilst spending joyful time with their family and friends.
We offer breakfast and dinner menus, with a carefully selected wine list created in partnership with Oatley Wines and delicious coffee supplied by Merlo Coffee.
Our dishes are inspired by our chefs, global flavours and brought to life by locally-sourced ingredients.
How do you envision your business contributing to job creation and the local
economy in Bundaberg?
We have been creating jobs in Bundaberg for many years now through our motels and we will carry on our job creation efforts with Buddy Boy Kitchen.
We welcome local applicants for any opportunities, and make a point in being involved in the local hospitality and food and beverage community.
We like to take part in local initiatives, such as the Bundaberg Big Beer Festival, where we reinforce our community ties.
What milestones have you achieved in the lead-up to your opening and how do you plan to celebrate with the community?
Since our opening we have received an overwhelming amount of positive reviews for
our atmosphere, our food and our service from both local and out-of-towners.
Our guests are particularly fond of the crispy pork belly and the scotch fillet steak and
come back for them every time!
What positive experiences have shaped your journey in establishing this business, and what are you most looking forward to?
Our brand has seen a warm reception from the local and out-of-town community so far, and we are delighted to be able to establish Buddy Boy Kitchen as a destination in Bundaberg.
Jim and Sue, our Sugar Country Motor Inn and Buddy Boy Kitchen Bundaberg managers, are incredibly enthusiastic and hard-working, which makes this venture even more exciting.
Buddy Boy Kitchen is bringing global cuisine to regional Australia and we are proud of it.
How can local residents and businesses support your new venture, and what role do you see them playing in your success?
We welcome all local residents and businesses to come try out the Buddy Boy Kitchen experience for themselves and share their positive experiences online or in-person.
Our team loves to connect with our guests and make them feel great.
We also welcome any partnership proposals from local businesses, as we exist to support them as well.
Where are you located and how can the community find out more or contact you?
We are located within the Sugar Country Motor Inn, at 220 Bourbong St, Bundaberg Central.

Bundaberg could use with some family diner style restaurants. Like Dennys… is this going to be like that?
