Great food, awesome service! Brisket & pimento sandwich was incredible (half inhaled in pic)

Trinity W.

The food is awesome! The service is great, they all communicate to each other very well and get the work done as fast as possible. I love walking in and being welcomed by this awesome crew! The music in the restaurant is not too low but not too loud and it fits the look. I love the old school vibe of this restaurant and will keep going back!

So this review is for breakfast only. I was really excited when I saw that Buster's was no serving breakfast from 6-11 during the week, and they have a brunch until 3 on Sunday. The menu is pretty standard, featuring 1, 2, or 3 egg platters, with a choice of grits or home fries, and bacon or sausage, toast or a biscuit. I chose the 2 egg plate with biscuit, grits and bacon. I also paid $2 more for a side of country gravy. If you have read my reviews before, I judge a breakfast place by their grits. Do they really cook them, or just make grits? The difference of course is seasoning and flavor. These had neither. They were a little watery, and for an order, 3 packets of salt and two of pepper should be just about right. So for redemption I would look to the gravy... it did not get any better. This was straight out of a packet and really added nothing to the meal. It was very runny and had no flavor. This is an easy meal to do really well. It does not take a lot to make killer grits and gravy. There are other options in this smaller town where you can get the same thing or better. They do have home fries, which I did not try, which may be a better option. The service was great.

3 meat platter with brisket, boston butt, and ribs with mac and cheese and slaw

As I finish my summer of 19, I came down to southwest Alabama for some BBQ. My stay was in Robertsdale and that is how I ended up at Buster's. Buster's is at the end of a strip mall but on the side in the back, you can see smoke rising. The decor inside includes American flags, some sports memorabilia, and other random pop culture signs. Major props for having a case with a newspaper of the 92 Bama team's national championship. The menu consists of unique BBQ sandwiches and platters. Seems like the chef here loves pineapple too much since it is on like 2 sandwiches. But I went with the 3 meat platter with ribs, brisket, and boston butt with mac and cheese and slaw. All meats were fantastic! The ribs had the popular orange and black dry-rub. The brisket had a solid black pepper rub and was a good mix of fatty and lean. But out of the 3 meats I had, I thought the Boston Butt was the best one in a close race. It captured the smokiness and tenderness of what pork should be. The slaw came crunchy but it had a surprisingly sweet taste to it. The mac and cheese was homemade. It was cheesy and good, but there has been better. There were 4 sauce: white, sweet, hot, and OG. I liked all 4. I liked the white the least and the reason why is because it seemed kind of out of place to me. It just didn't go well with any of the meats I had, even though, I liked the tanginess of the sauce itself. This white sauce was more congealed than liquidly. The other 3 were ketchup based. I am guessing the OG was the base for the hot and sweet. The OG was mildly sweet and more tangy. The hot was more spicy than hot and probably has a combination of hot sauce or cayenne pepper added to it. I would rate it a 4 or 5 on a heat scale of 10. The sweet kind of speaks for itself. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Last of all, I was very confused about my waitress. I am not trying to call her out here. I think she was a little ditzy and I don't mean that in an ugly way. She cleaned off a table for me to sit at, got me a drink immediately, and helped me with my order. She confused me because she brought me my check and I think she saw that my glass of tea was low. She didn't refill it for me. There is a drink station so I got up and refilled my drink myself. She was at the drink station too and didn't say a word to me about it. I refilled my drink a 2nd time. So now I am confused about what type of tip to leave her. She tried making conversation with me about geography but that was not her strong suite as she thought Dothan was in north Alabama and said I-10 was as far north as she goes haha. That's why I called her ditzy. Besides my confusing waitress, Buster's is a must-go for BBQ. I would rank it among the best in Bama.

Chicken pull pork, brisket and sausage juicy and falling off the bone with choice of 2 side for $30.00. Appetizer onions ring best flavor and sauce ever had.

Ask the Community - Buster's Southern Pit BBQ

Did they close or decide to remain open? Owner had some health issues and indicated they were trying to sell the business - he had a post on facebook relative to shutting down, but NOT sure they followed through on that prospect

This business has been sold to a new owner. They are doing a great job and things seem to be going well. As of Sunday, 2/10/19 there are now also open on Sunday. My son, and I, went on that day and the food was good and they were very busy.
