Buster's Texas Style Barbecue

I love that they have beef ribs and good ones! And the Knuckle meat brisket.... So good

A dark and dated place with all the atmosphere of an all you can eat buffet.I had brisket and baby back ribs,, the ribs were dry.sides were uninspiring,

I rolled over into programming at a block of bbq shows, and it made me hungry, so I ran into Busters to put the fire out. Well kind of.I was surprised at how the brisket dried out after opening the container it was in. Glad I bought some sauce. The pulled pork was good, the seasoning I especially liked. Likewise, the potato salad & pecan pie was good. The pie wasn't charged with sugar, it balanced well.This cost me $45 plus some change, and I left a ten dollar tip.I'm on the fence about if I'd go back. Would you?I took this home and ate, so all I can say about the ambiance is, I arrived and said "hi" to two employees, and never heard a response back. Inside was dark like a bar atmosphere.

Walking in, Buster's smells of heaven! It's easy to navigate up to the counter, and you get to watch the magic of your sandwich being made. The choice of sauces can be a little overwhelming, so sample a few and load up on your favorite. I got a pulled pork sandwich and it was everything you could hope for. Juicy, flavorful meat on a soft fresh bun. My mouth is watering thinking about it! The interior of the place has a fun western theme, great for the kid in all of us. Great food, check it out!

The more I try other BBQ restaurants, the more I realize how disappointing Buster's really is. Compared to what I've experienced in-house, and thru catering, Buster's meat is dry, the beans flavorless, and the mac n' cheese consistently overcooked. Buster's brisket is probably the biggest offender -- it's a bit on the tough side, and has a metallic aftertaste. Combine all that with a cost that is higher than better BBQ joints -- for either dining or catering -- and 2 stars is much more appropriate. Now that I know where to go, I don't ever need to come back to the dirty, dingy, outdated décor of Buster's.

First of all we had looked at the menu online and didn't see that it wasn't a restaurant with table service. It's cafeteria style. Not what we were expecting or wanting with my 91 year old mother along. But we had been wanting to try this nearby place so what the heck. Heck, it was terrible. The disinterested staff stared at us until we figured out we were supposed to order meat here, then sides. Everything was barely warm. The baked beans so sweet I couldn't eat them. The green beans seemed to be from a can with no seasoning. The garlic toast only toasted on one side, soft and white on the other. Is that normal?It was not busy at 4pm yet the unbussed tables remained so throughout our meal. My pulled pork was good and it was fun to try the different bbq sauces. Will not return.

Had lunch here earlier in the week. We were both hungry and the place smelled so smoky and delicious. I chose the baby back ribs with two sides and husband chose brisket with two sides. Luckily we kind of shared the sides which included baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and Mac and cheese. The only thing I had a problem with the sides was that the Mac and cheese was in shell form and not elbow Mac. The meat was good but could have been a little more moist. Luckily we could have as much sauce as we wanted.

We surprised the team at Buster's today with a party of nine with no reservation. We sat in the saloon and got phenomenal service. She (darn, I didn't get her name) took our drink order timely, served our food in a hurry, split all nine checks and did it all with a smile! Big kudos for great service. We will continue to hold our quarterly reunion lunch at Buster's because of great food and great service. Keep up the good work!

I've never been to a Texas BBQ chain restaurant before. So I thought this was pretty interesting. Getting your food is very much like a high school cafeteria set up. You line up, get a tray, pick your meats, pick your sides, pick a beer/grab a cup for soda or water, and pay. Once you pay, you can go over to the the sauce bar where they have the fountain drink dispenser, bbq sauces, and salad toppings.The is better than cafeteria food, but I don't think it's as good as real Texas BBQ. It's just reasonable and okay. The tables aren't cleaned very well cause they feel a bit sticky. The sauce bar gets pretty messy too due to being used throughout the day. It's not so terrible that you wouldn't want to get your sauce. Although, I did notice the sauce had some clumps a bit in it. I feel like that isn't normal since sauces tend to be smooth usually. But I still poured it over my meats cause I did not want them to be dry. I just added a conservative amount and hoped that was enough.I didn't realize they had bottled beer and draft beers available. So I cut through the line just for a drink a bit afterwards. Goes well with the bbq.I think I'd only come back if someone I knew really wanted to go here. But I don't think I would choose to come here on my own. Just isn't for me I guess. Maybe it'll be something worth going to for you. At least once maybe?

3 baby backs plus 2 beef ribs. The ribs were so burnt there was hardly any meat left! Just charred and unedible. Horrible especially for the price. Maybe enough meat altogether to qualify for one bone worth. Extremely disappointed!Nice people though. Would have put higher score for service if they selected better cuts of meat, but all of it may have been the same.
