The staff was extremely friendly. Manager was waitressing and was so friendly & helpful with all questions about the menu. Has the perfect small town dive bar/ dinner spot. The food was amazing and will certainly be returning everyone im in Murf.

We were in town and looking for a good burger. Other reviews said it had dive/biker bar vibes and the burgers were awesome so we had to check it out. Walking up to the door we could smell meat grease (in a good way). It doesn't look like a dive/biker bar at all. Just a good burger joint filled with locals. We sat at the bar so we could watch the grill. We enjoyed local brews and got burgers and the cheese fries. Everything was perfectly cooked. 52 years, obviously they're doing something right. Service was great and attentive too. Give this place a try.

Wings yummy!

Pretty cool spot. Dive bar, type atmosphere. I've grown up here all of my life and this was my first experience here. I'm not sure what took me so long to finally get to try them. Everyone kept talking about their burgers and fries so that's what brought me here. I was looking for a good burger. The staff and service here was pretty cool. Everyone was nice and friendly. They did a great job and didn't fail to check in to see if we needed anything. They have local beers on tap, which was pretty cool. They also have regular beers in a bottle. Food wise: everything here was pretty good. I wasn't disappointed in anything I tried here. They're known for their burgers, which I liked, but I felt that my favorite thing here was their wings for some reason lol. The wings were very soft and tender, and it was seasoned to perfection. I know I will definitely be back mainly for their wings. Their chilli cheese hot dog wasn't bad. I tried it fully loaded and it was really A LOT. I think if you just ordered that, it should pretty much fill you up. In all, I had a pretty good experience and would probably be back. I really liked seeing their Pac-Man machine. I haven't seen that since I was a kid. It had about 8 games on it. It's free play so that was really nice of them to do that. Thanks!

Hands down the best burgers in the boro! Burgers are juicy with unique options. The jalapeño popper is the best burger on the menu with chorizo burger coming in 2nd. Service is always fantastic. When you walk in, you will always feel welcomed. This diamond in the rough has a great atmosphere with TVs playing multiple games or sports.

Never hesitate to stop at a small little place called busters... because chances are the foods gunna be bussin'! My husband wanted a good burger after eating junk and gas station food for a week straight after working the recent snow storm and the OTHER burger joint had a crazy wait we found this hidden little gem! Great food. Great service. Kids had a cheeseburger and hotdog. My husband said the hotdog was actually really good! Cooked really good too! I had the pimento burger and my husband had the bacon jalapeño and cheddar burger! We shared large basket of fries! It was the perfect amount of food for all of us!

What more can be said about Buster's that hasn't already been said in their many years in business? Buster's is no longer a seedy biker bar, but a family-friendly local watering hole with excellent food. Their burgers are Boro legend, the location is a total dive (in the best sense possible), their cash discount policy is refreshing, and the bar has great energy for any parched patrons coming through the door. The burgers themselves that Buster's is known for are thick, handmade patties, grilled right in front of you just past the bar. They have some every-day routine burgers with good options, but their weekly rotations are something special. Constantly a different option each week with some crazy (and crazy-good) toppings, to help make each new iteration something special. The beer is served perfectly ice-cold in glass mugs. The pricing is more than fair on all their options, and they even have merch (t-shirts, hats, stickers, etc.) for sale right by the door before you walk out. The parking lot is small, and the place fills up quick though, so if you're in the mood for a great home-style burger, get there early!

Cruisin' through M'boro around lunch time and needed a bite to eat. I was pulling out of the Kroger after getting fuel and saw Buster's Place, which was tucked back from the road and almost hidden except for the parking lot full of cars. A good sign for a non-chain restaurant is lots of cars, with work trucks, firetrucks, and police cars at the top of that list. Buster's Place had plenty of cars, and several pickup trucks. I'll take my chances. The current, 4.4 with 134 Yelp! reviews, many of which are 5 stars, is also a good sign. I get why some reviewers talk about the "don't judge a book by its cover." Buster's building is not a shining penny in the till of restaurant buildings. If it was a BBQ place, the rustic look would probably make it a "must eat" place. It is not a BBQ place. Still, the inside of Busters is a neat and tidy place. The staff was super friendly and helpful when ordering. The menu is basic, with a message board out front of the entrance advertising the special, which was also covered by the server. I read through other reviewers' takes on food and wanted to get a little taste of what was offered at Buster's Place. My order was to-go. The Buster Dog was a mess. If you're not sitting down with a decent place to eat this while using utensils, don't order it. Unless you want to wear some of it, you're not picking it up. Fortunately, I had a fork. Unfortunately, I also needed a knife. Adapt, improvise, overcome. To those who passed me going down the road, I apologize. The frankfurter itself was good. The slaw was good as well. The chili may or may not have been good, since it was very watery and ran all over the place. It has beans and meat. I now wish I hadn't gotten mustard since it was put on top of the slaw. I imagined the construction different, with mustard on the bun and slaw/chili on top of the dog. Individually, each element of the hotdog was okay. Together, they were a mess. I don't know that I got a single bite of the hotdog with each ingredient together. After my first attempt at cutting a piece off, the bun separated, spilling even more stuff out. Meh. Still, there was no shortage of toppings. Someone else mentioned in a review that Buster's uses cheap, crinkle cut fries. I think it was meant as a negative. For those of us who like crinkle cut fries, it was a positive. I got a large fry; I should have gotten a small. There were plenty of fries. There was very little ketchup. First world problem. The fries were average crinkle cuts, and moderately soft. The Buster Burger had a solid burger on the bun. None of this Golden Arches BS where you wonder "is there a burger patty on there" when you take a bite. The burger's issue wasn't portion size, it was taste...there wasn't much of any taste to the burger. Mayo? Yeah, I could taste it. Burger? Not so much. Maybe there are seasonings at the table for burgers. I don't know since my order was to go. It just had no taste beyond condiments. I certainly didn't think it lived up to the "World's Best" claim on the sign outside, but I'm only 1 person with a single vote. All in all the experience was over $25. Prices are on the menu, so it's not a "yikes" moment, but more like a "that escalated quickly" feel. Think more "final bill" on a cruise ship. Your mileage may vary at Buster's Place, so feel free to stop by and try it for yourself.

The classic burger with pulled pork on top was amazing. Onion ring were great didn't taste over fried or heavy. Service was great

The classic busters burger special was great. A burger with onion ring and pulled pork on top as well at bbq sauce. The onion rings on the side were light and didn't taste heavily fried. The service was also great

Bacon, Jalepeno and Cheddar Burger. 8/10. Onion Rings 8/10

We went here for lunch today for the first time and it was a very good burger place. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't judge a book by the cover. I saw it opened in 1973, so I figured any place that has stayed in business for 50 years had to be good. They have a fairly small menu but good selection. The server told us they have weekly specials. They did have about 15 different beers to choose from. Price is moderate. I got a double burger and it was almost too much. A single will satisfy most people. They hand pat the burgers and I liked that. I would rather go here instead of Red Robin or somewhere like that. Its worth stopping in and trying. The service was also very good.

See all

Comfortable classic bar-burger joint. A throwback with great burgers and crime cut fries. Good local draught beer selection.

While visiting Panther Creek Brews there was a non-descript food truck there with a hand-written…read moremenu. I took a look at the menu and it didn't really resemble what most food trucks offer. The offerings indicated someone who cooked using a bit of flair and looked like they knew how to enhance a dish with sauces. I selected the Rosemary Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas. Now these are not like any quesadilla I've had as a "appetizer" at many restaurants, this was a creative melding of intricate flavors into a quasi-soft shell taco/quesadilla. The grilled chicken had great flavor and the bacon and ranch really complemented the quesadilla. The tortilla was perfect, slightly crisp, and held the entire quesadilla together and didn't fall apart after the first bite. To top it all off...I got to meet the owners/operators Frankie and Tony Wong. This couple works hard, serve up great food, and are really fun to talk to. Highly recommend you like and subscribe to their FB Page. Their menu is a dry erase board and changes daily, I can't wait to see what special item they will create next. https://www.facebook.com/Myrootsfoodtruck

This food truck stopped by today for lunch so I went out and grabbed a bite. It was pretty good and…read moredefinitely large portions! The TRIPLE LAYER TOMATO AND BASIL GRILLED CHEESE ON SOURDOUGH was delish! Soft, with a crunchy outside and surprisingly not too much bread. A good amount of cheese and flavor. I'd definitely recommend. CRINKLE CUT FRIES were over cooked. I'm sad to say I didn't even finish them, which is rare for me since this cut of fries is my absolute favorite! Just too crunch and the flavor was heavy on the oil, rather than potato. Total cost was $9 before tip, which made it one of the least expensive items on the truck. Customer service was professional. Food was made quickly and from order. Pretty good, IMO.
