    Side garlic bread and mile bbq sauce
    Oscar T.

    Got take out, i ordered a 2meat combo with 2 sides. I had the brisket and ribs as my proteins then bbq beans and mac and cheese as my sides. Everything was pretty underwhelming. Meats were barely warm and lacked seasoning, ever heard of salt? The mac and cheese tasted super bland again missing salt and perhaps more of the powdered cheese they use it wasnt very tasty, bbq beand were decent but for sure out of a can. I ordered a couple side of the mild bbq which i was excited for, they were a bit heavy on the Worcestershire sauce or vinegar cuz it was foul tasting. Honestly would not recommend unless you cant have salt in your diet or you smoke cigarettes as your taste buds are already bland.

    Lol The "brisket sandwich" - a handful of unbelievably DRY meat slapped between a dry onion bun. For $14?!

    I ordered Buster's from Uber Eats last night because I was craving ribs and it had been years since I had Buster's. I thought I'd give it a try again. Well, I couldn't believe how absolutely DISGUSTING it was and how LITTLE food I got for nearly $60! I ordered baby back ribs with 2 sides and a brisket sandwich with baked beans. The ribs tasted alright, but I didn't even get one full rack! Maybe 3/4 of a rack ... That came with TINY sides of mac & cheese and cole slaw (which was nothing but sloppily-cut cabbage chunks and a ton of mayo - gross). And the brisket sandwich?! OMG, I couldn't believe how little meat was in it and how terribly DRY it was! I didn't even have to taste it (the photo below speaks for itself). All it consisted of was a tiny amount of meat slapped in between a dry onion bun. That ... for $14. The baked beans that came with it were ok, but again, tiny. The two of us were not only dissatisfied, but also HUNGRY when we were done with the meal. Never again.

    Another grit and fat.

    Who likes grabbing take out just to get home and be totally disappointed and when you call them the only option is to going alllll the way back. My first experience was wonderful. As of an hour ago I'll never be back. We got 2 of the brisket dinners. Sides we good. Meat was total crap. Very gritty and fatty. No sauce. The guy who answered was offended that I was complaining. I told him we couldn't even pull it apart. He rudely says I can bring it back for replacement which at this point made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. I don't want spit in my food. So I decided I am taking a loss but I'm never going back again. The pictures are of me trying to pull the meat apart!! Grit and fat! Untasty for sure. It wouldn't of been so bad if it wasn't every SINGLE PIECE!!! I wasted 45 bucks. NEVER AGAIN!

    Mixed plate of bbq beef, rib, mashed potatoes, beans and bread

    2.5 stars rounding up to 3. The food is cafeteria style where you walk up, tell them what meat you want and what side. I had the combo beef brisket/ribs and mashed potatoes w/ gravy and beans. The brisket looked pretty dry but it was soft. Just not juicy. It was all sort of plain and just ok. They had various bbq sauces that you can put in little bowls to dip your food, but they all tasted bland and overly sweet. The beans were also too sweet for me and the mashed potatoes were just standard. Maybe I should have had different side? They sounded good but were just...neutral. There was a lot of it and I ended up giving all my meat and the beans to my hubs and the potatoes to my daughter. The food wasn't very hot and it felt very much like a cafeteria experience where you pay at a cash register and then find your own seats. So there was no service or ambiance, and the food was just ok. The deserts were good!! We all spilt the chocolate pie and layered mouse cake.

    This is their stuffed jalapeño peppers :(

    I don't usually leave reviews but had to share so management can put some love into their food, because we sure didn't taste any love in their food :( I would've imagined that them being from texas, their food would have a kick to it. It lacked seasoning and love. And prices are pricey. Who makes stuffed jalapeños with yellow cheese, yellow!

    Busters... A classic spot for locals who understand what its about. No extra over the top service, not expecting a 10/10 cuisine, just your baby backs with a side of mashed potatoes. Over 40 years in Gresham. Thank you Busters!

    Flavorful meats. Casual setting. Plenty of seating. Fun western decor. Lots of sides to choose from. Solid BBQ! We ate there in between lunch and dinner so it wasn't very busy. We both had sandwiches and a few sides. I liked how there are different types of bread for the sandwiches and that they toast the bread. The amount of meat on each was decent. The potato salad was different, it's homemade but it does have a lot of dried dill weed and pickle taste to it. I prefer more of a mustard-based potato salad, but to each their own. I like that it was homemade, but it was just OK for me. The fries were a hearty crinkle cut, which I like, but they were cold (next time I'll ask for hot fries. ) I had the corn chowder which was hearty and had good flavor. I like how they have a condiment bar where you can get the condiments you need, including pickles and lettuce, tomato for your sandwich. I would go again.

    No flavor at all for the BBQ or side portions. Also very small potion sizes for the price you pay. Would not recommend this place at all.

They also have a full bar available, if you so desire. I am a regular at this restaurant, but today I ordered off the Specials board and got delectable Oreo Stuffed French toast. It was beautiful, to begin with, but the taste and textures were divine. The toast was crispy, but the filling was very flavorful, and the topping of whipped cream with Oreo crumbs made the whole meal delightful. I ended up taking the bacon and eggs home, since the French Toast was more than enough. Our server was friendly and thorough, despite it being busy.

There was some black duct tape holding parts of the booth together, and since the booths aren't anchored to the floor, ours would shift whenever the people behind us moved, which was a little distracting. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out. The scrambled eggs tasted watered down and lacked flavor. The pancakes themselves were good, but they came with quite a bit more butter than necessary. We also ordered the chicken fried steak, which was tasty, though the potatoes that came with it tasted like they may have been from the day before. I might consider coming back to sit at the bar for cocktails or happy hour, but for a full meal I'm not sure I'd rush back. That said, it could have just been an off day -- there was actually a wait for tables as we were leaving, so clearly the place has a following.

They have a nice big parking lot and it was free to park when we went on a Monday. There is a trail and playground nearby so it was nice to enjoy our ice cream after over there. I loved how they had coloring pages and crayons at the counter for the kids to kill some time while waiting for the food! I loved that they had some Asian inspired flavors on the menu which I was not expecting! I kept it simple with a grilled cheese which they serve on a waffle and I also added pulled pork for a small upcharge. The tomato soup pairing was so delicious and it was such a comforting meal in the foggy overcast weather. For dessert, we tried the rainbow brite seasonal sundae, which had these ripe mangoes and ube swirl inside. It was so cute with the little rainbow jellies! The vanilla soft serve itself was really good so I think I would've been happy whether it was a plain sundae or completely loaded like this one. We also tried the guava cheesecake cookie, which was huge and I loved the guava cheesecake filling. Sugarpine did not disappoint and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's a little bit outside of Portland, but definitely worth the drive for the scenery and the food!

I got the Pendleton burger, it was as good as I remember, I got tons of fries along with it which was great.

I don't care what your "reasoning" is, charging extra for fries at a burger place is pathetic. In terms of service, can't comment too much since I got takeout, but the women there seemed nice and the place was fairly clean, I couldn't make out any dirty areas. They have a few tables outside, on a nice summer day it would be a nice place for lunch. Parking. There's no real parking for this areas since it's in busy street, so you'll have to park a block or two away most of the time, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's a good place and if I happen to find myself in the area, wanting a burger, I don't see why I wouldn't go there again.
