    We went here for Mother's Day. Great service and good mimosas. Small bar/ restaurant, but we had a good time. I was not a fan of the corn beef hash. I don't know what they did or added to a simple classic, but sometimes less is more. I'd return for the mimosas and vibe; not food.

    Definitely a very generic pub. They were missing a lot of things that were on the menu which made ordering a little difficult. They are one of those few places open past 8 PM and Sanford so there aren't too many other options if you're looking to go late. Our server was good, but definitely had a lot on her plate.

    Going here on a Monday, the place was dead, and I mean "shouldn't be open on Monday's" kind of dead. Thus, if you have trouble getting in on the weekend, maybe try another day. Inside, the atmosphere is fun. The food is okay, the Rodeo burger was worthwhile but the fries someone else had at the table were kind of limp. Service was great though! The pulled pork nachos were kind of average. So, with all of that, why five stars? Well, here on Yelp it says Buster's Bistro. On the bill, it is subtitled, "Buster's European Beer Hall." A place with that many beers from Belgium, etc on draught? Okay, five stars from me. Forget everything else.

    Visited for lunch on Wednesday afternoon because I knew they had $10 lunch deals and a large quantity of different beers on tap. COLIN was behind the bar. I asked him about a couple of recommendations and he was quick with his knowledge and his recommendation was delicious. For lunch I had a Swiss burger (not on the special list) and it was perfectly cooked, I paired it with a truffle fries, which was yummy. Yummy yummy. I tried a different selection of dark beer for my second and that was equally as smooth and delicious. Being a Wednesday afternoon it was quiet, just a couple of the customers in for a late lunch and a drink but there was plenty of seating for what I'm sure. Are they crazy times. COLIN was attentive through it all.

    We came here for game night hosting. It was Mario kart race night. My boys including hubby enjoyed the playful competition. It's free to play and they had gift card prizes. The atmosphere felt a bit more for adults though. There was other kids there and I got the fam friends vibes on this night just get the feeling it would not be like that always. Food was decent got the 10 wings half dry seasoned and the other half sweet salty which I forget the name but pretty simple general flavor anyone would like. Fries were a bit soggy. Other pics look like they have some good plates. I didn't get to taste much though...

    Surprisingly good for a very unassuming place. This bistro is on one of the main streets and I think most people come here to grab a cocktail or two, yet the food is really good not just by Sanford standards, but the Orlando area as a whole. I come here a few times and eaten, and never had a complaint. Furthermore, the food has always been great. The burgers are great, the wings are great also. There is a very well curated beer bottle menu, and other drinks are available. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is on top of everything. I hope this place stays as laid back as it is, but if it blows up, good for them. Well deserved.

    I can't speak doll for the food but the selection of delicious Belgian beers is pure perfection and the service is always quick and friendly. It's a cute, dark little bar so I prefer it at night but it's also great for cooling down when bouncing around Sanford.

    We stopped by here for a drink because my husband's name is Buster! Bartender was very friendly and the beers were good. Food looked good but we weren't hungry at the time so we only had beers.

    This place is amazing! We walked in and our server made us feel right at home. It is cozy and welcoming. Then we started eating, and everything we ordered was so good! We had truffle fries, croque monsieur, the salmon platter and bananas foster sugar waffles. And we had the poutine. Please try the poutine. It was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. As a matter of fact, it was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. We will definitely be back. Don't miss this foodie gem in Sanford!

    Place was cool steak tips was 10/10, wings I got half junky sauce and half BBQ, junky sauce wasn't for me and Bbq was ok all together 5/10, Frites fries 7/10, I had long island 2 of them they were 7/10. Service was good, bartender said they know for they burgers so I'll be back try a burger. Nice bar for drinks in downtown Sanford.

    On the road traveling, we wanted a place to watch the Lion's game. Buster's Bistro checked all our boxes - sports bar, cool beer selection, (& lots of them!), friendly bartender & the cook even brought out our food, so we had a chance to thank him. Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere. I think the locals come here. My mushroom Swiss burger was great, & I skipped the frites & went with a vegetable - best decision as I got the sprouts! Those were crispy on the outside & just delicious. My hubby got the Italian sandwich & it was stacked on a nice bakery bun. We'll look forward to coming back.

    Cozy little brunch spot with unlimited mimosas for only $15! Cannot beat that. Overall though I would say the experience and food were okay. Service was not very friendly and my pork roll which was supposed to have a baguette came instead with bread resembling more of a hotdog bun (to me... lol). Not too bad but definitely would prefer to try other brunch places than return. Glad to have given it a go!

    We walked over from our Airbnb Monday, March 10th around 8 pm. We had just ate at Dixie Crossroads to celebrate my dad's birthday so didn't try any of the food. Our bartender was Cassandra G and she was friendly, funny and professional. I had the chardonnay and hubby a Lorraine Blond and a Carlsberg beer. The restaurant is very inviting, clean and has great swag. I bought an adorable blue tank top. We can't wait to return and try the food.

    Mom! The meatloaf!!!

    What a gem ...we were here for one night for grandsons graduation & staying at home 2 suites. This…read moreplace was a 3 min walk. We were a little confused because there was a world of beer sign out front. We were greeted immediately with a warm hello & found a seat at the bar. Brandon explained to us it used to be a WOB. They just never took their sign down. Plenty of draught selections and we chose a nice hefe. We ordered buffalo/general Tao cauliflower & it was very tasty. The street corn "ribs" were excellent. The bbq chicken flat bread was good too. We had awesome service from Brandon and he came out and had a drink with us after his shift. Very clean, bright atmosphere. Plenty of tvs & touch tunes to boot! We will search it out next trip.

    Took over the old World of Beer (sad they are mostly going under). Same concept of a ton of taps…read moreand fridges with singles. Great place for beer. You can't go wrong. The food menu is pretty good. They have a build your own burger and hot damn, it's great. It's right next door to another burger joint and I have to say, Knights is better. I also got the Philly Cheesesteak. Asked the guy if it's authentic (I'm from Philly) and he said well...it is delicious. And you know what? He's right! A really tasty steak sandwich. Just not a Philly. They've got a bunch of TVs to watch the game and covered and screened outdoor patio. Although I'm not the target demographic, it's a great place for bar food and a beer. Check it out.
