When I think "Bar-B-Q", and in particular pulled pork, I think bland, chewy, and wet meat on a stale roll. Imagine my glee when that is exactly what I found at Dustin's Bar-B-Q - bland, chewy, and wet pulled pork. Squeee! A plethora of sauce choices available and the disinterested staff could not describe any or even one of them with any degree of recommendation. When added to the bland, chewy, and wet pulled the sauces faded away into the void of flavor the meat was producing. Was I eating a flavor black hole that was sucking any hopes of deliciousness into it? I talked with my physicist friends and while no documentation of such an anomaly exists, it would be worthy of a research project if only they could get the bland, chewy, and wet pulled pork passed the human subjects protection guidelines. Which they doubted was possible. Alas, we may never know the mysteries of flavor black holes now. On the upside, the service was quick and devoid of personality so I could swiftly discover the bland, chewy, and wet pulled pork sandwich on my plate. Did I mention the bland, chewy, and wet pulled pork? read more

Driving by , ready for lunch , I see this place , and I notice 3 city police cars , s good sign as the cops usually eat at good places or where they get a discount . My first visit to a Dustin's BBQ. Looks like a sonny's in design. I order salad and soup with a side of beef brisket . Salad bar rather small but very good . Soup , I had a chicken rice , fairly good but not hot enough. The brisket was 5 strips of beef , chewing gum thin , about 1.5 inch wide by 8 inches long . Very uniform looking . It was rather dry and didn't taste fresh . Not bad , tasted like something from the publix deli then heated up. My waitress was fair , I asked for lemon for my tea twice , I gave up and asked another waitress . I also had to get my own 2nd plate for another salad . Not bad , but since Four Rivers opened , I now have had great BBQ . Dustin's is ......ok , third in my rating behind Sonny's. read more

Again, we had to stop by before heading to Orlando. We were NOT disappointed. The food was amazing. The staff is so nice. The restaurant was clean. The sliced pork is sliced to order so your meat is never dry or tough. The butter garlic bread is soooooo good. We always try to stop by. The portions are good and prices are decent. read more

Dustin's (2) competes locally with Sonny's (4), Woody's (5), Dickie's (3), and Bono's (1). Dustin's is related to Sonny's, so it's similar, but better by a few notches. Service is quick, but the servers could use a boost in personality. The brisket is moist, tender, with a decent char, and proper smoke ring. Really doesn't need sauce which is a good thing. The pulled pork is also moist and tender. It needs a sauce to boost it up a bit. The pulled pork table sauce is decent. The sides, beans, fries, mac/cheese, and cole slaw were all good, but the coleslaw lacked a little twang to it. A tad bland. The toasted garlic bread is a real disappointment and why they lost a star with me. The bread is nothing more than french bread cut on a bias, toasted, and buttered. I could detect no garlic. It ain't hard to make decent BBQ bread. Dustin's, you really missed the boat on this one. Everyone loves to dip their bread in sauce. All-in-all, a decent BBQ joint among the similar competitors. I added my ratings for all of them at the top (1-5) read more

Great place to eat. My food was cooked awesome. I got pulled pork and it was delicious. There was three of us and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. Only down thing is servers were a little slow but they were still on top of things and the were there. read more

Dustin's is a regular stop for me when I visit my Nana in Ormond Beach (even more now that she is dead, but I'm sure you'd expect that). Dustin's has lots of kinds of barbecue even if they don't have any especially good kind of barbecue. It's the kind of place you can go and get a bunch of bags of food to take back to a house full of petty bickering family members and maybe they'll shut up for a while and eat. Maybe. read more

Went here for dinner during bike week with my stepfather David Allan Coe after our show. Servers were friendly and over worked. The food was servered to all 6 of us cold. The meat on the ribs was like cold jerky as tuff as could be. Same for the chicken. The pulled pork had a good flavor and was the best item on the plate but is was Luke warm. #hotfoodshot the macaroni and cheese was a lot like school paste with flavor the garlic bread was well buttered but still cold. The manager refunded a lot of the food and even offered us more as we left but I felt I was just going to get a repeat of the same dinner experience so I declined. I guess better luck next time is that happens :( read more

Teri, the manager, is extremely rude. She told me that I would need to share BBQ sauce and that she wouldn't give me any extra BBQ sauce. I am not sharing BBQ on my take out order with other people especially during Covid. This is unsanitary and I will report this restaurant to the health department. This restaurant is so cheap that they are cutting corners on their customers health and safety. When I requested napkins and utensils for my order, she asked for my name. I used to eat at this restaurant 1-2 times a week but no longer. My health is to important to risk eating at this insanitary location. read more

I ordered the Ultimate BBQ Burger for take out. The burger came with pulled pork, bacon, cheese, an onion ring, and delicious BBQ sauce. Delicious and well worth the price. We did a curbside pickup which was super convenient. read more

BBQ pulled pork and brisket sandwiches hit the spot! Sweet coleslaw and golden fries . Service was quick and attentive.

There is FAR better BBQ in the area than this place. Forget the sides: the green beans are better from a can; and the cole slaw is far from memorable. Buying even a lunch platter is not inexpensive. Go elsewhere. read more

Okay, explain to me how you can charge $15.99 for FOUR St Louis style ribs? And they weren't really any good? Three of us tried Dustin's for the first time. The bill came to $72 without alcohol! Don't they realize it's just BBQ? This place is nothing more than a glorified Sonny's. Wasted money, won't go back. read more

Great bbq food, outstanding and friendly costumer service, very fast in and out in less than an hour. Way better than a typical bbq place.

Consistently great food. I'm a firm believer of handling the customer in front of you though and not repeatedly answering phone and putting customer in front of you on hold instead of customer on the phone. Overall good place to eat. We eat there often. read more

We eat here offten, definitely the best bbq in town. I enjoyed the unlimited salad bar and soup. They keep the salad bar very clean and offer spinach or mix lettuce of which both were fresh. The soup was broccoli soup and it tasted home made. For dinner we had the chicken, pulled pork, sweet potatoes, bake beans and green beans. I made a sandwich with my sliced pork and there very good sweet bbq sauce. I was pretty much full from the salad bar amd the soup so I got to take almost a whole meal home. Highlights: The food comes out fast and hot. Obviously some of it is pre made in the back however everything tasted fresh. The food is also a very good value being able to add on unlimited soup for only a dollar fifty. Their homemade pasta salads potato salads are also very good. With the salad bar they offer dessert also, a pineapple marshmallow combination which is very good with the chocolate pudding. The sliced pork was very good just the right amount of flavor. We had two people waiting on us because one was training and they were both very nice. Lowlights: Not much here I would appreciate more comfortable seating and I'm not a huge fan of the baked beans however they are ok and most other people seam to like them. Overall, as I said above there is no better place to eat BBQ in Ormond Beach. read more

To my mind Dustin's has small portions, untrimmed fatty cuts of meat, offers little if any bang for the buck and has a rather limited menu. Worse feature is that instead of a good barbecue taste, most items to me seemed overly greasy with a truck stop flavor. read more

Food was amazing and decent pricing! Had pulled pork, good portion size... added sweet BBQ sauce (Yum!) Husband had Grilled chicken breast, above average portion size... andhe added sweet BBQ sauce too. Now... the endless salad bar!!!! Looks tiny, but has everything on it... and fresh!! Homade croutons, delicious.... Applesauce was like no other and the pudding was fabulous. Only cons... and hence, not 5 stars... while potato salad was good, the macaroni, pasta and pea salads were a bit bland. And they charge additional $1.95 for soup.... doesn't come as part of the salad bar.... how much soup does one really eat.... so, didn't find value in the additional expense... didn't see anyone else there have it either. Overall, a GREAT experience... would definitely recommend and will go back again when in town! read more

Hmm... Where to start. Lets see... Service. Our waitress Liz, was unattentive and was too busy chatting with other waitresses in the dining area about her personal life and the personal life of other Dustin's employees. It took her about ten minutes to bring a to-go box and to-go cups to our table. When I finally got tired of waiting, I threw the rest of my turkey in a napkin and headed to the register. She met me on my way there with the box and the cups. Thanks (rolls eyes). The food - the entrees are overpriced and I noticed that a price hike has occured since our last dining experience. Certain side items (mac & chz, fried okra, and a few others have an add-on premium of .70$). The mac and chz is what you'd typically find in a cafeteria serving line at your local hospital; it was bland and tasteless. A few nagging thoughts - the sauces have been removed from the table and are brought to you upon request. Well, when another table asked for a certain sauce, Liz, came to our table, snagged them and brought them to the other diner. So, instead of her going to the server's station, she just took them right off the table, even though the hubs and I were not done eating our meal. Will we go back? Probably not. read more

I only give this 2 stars because the food was good. Came here for lunch today with a friend and my two kids. Our Server was Kimberly and she was hardly seen. She took our order, never refilled our drinks. My daughter wanted Ranch, I asked for Ranch it took 20 mins to get. She brought the table next to their food and ranch but seem to forgot ours. I had to ask again. Then when I got my bill, I saw they charge me a 1.00 for Ranch. She never told me that they charged for Ranch. What establishment where you are spending about $30 dollars or more for lunch/dinner do they charge you for a condiment. Ridiculous. It would have been nice if she told me ahead time they charge for this. I told her to take it off and I spoke to the manager who said they charge for ranch because it doesn't come with all meals. Whatever skip this Dustin's. I go to the one in Port Orange all the time and they are nice, attentive, and overall WAY Better. And guess what? They don't charge me for some Ranch. read more

Tonight was supposed to be wing night but the original destination was packed. Passed Dustin's on the way back to I-95 and decided to pull in. Once seated I pulled Dustin's up on Yelp and seeing that the reviews were all over the road I was prepared for a so-so meal. The salad bar looked wonderful, but that was too healthy so I resorted to the menu. My dining partner went with the pulled pork plate, fried okra and a baked potato. I saw that they offered wings so I asked the waitress if they were any good and she said "Yes, and that before she worked here she wasn't much of a wing fan, but now she's hooked". OK, towing the company line, I asked her about the wing sauces and she said it was their BBQ sauces. I bit and order a plate, mild, fully expecting cooked wings covered/coated in BBQ sauce. Well I was wrong, the sauce was cooked into the wings and they were delicious! Our waitress, Jessica was great, from plenty of wet-naps to keeping our glasses full she nailed it. read more

We visited this location on a Saturday evening. Busy, but not ridiculously busy. We've been to other Dustin's locations in the past with great visits, so we were looking forward to this dinner. The food was delicious! I ordered the salad bar with grilled chicken breast. The chicken was juicy and super flavorful. The salad bar is the same at every location, and I appreciate that. Love the bread pudding! And the cheese cubes! With a toddler now, I especially appreciate the salad bar as I can get her eating quickly. My husband ordered ribs and raved about them. The service? Eh. It took a while to place our drink order. The food was slow to come out. We had different servers each visit our table: one took our drink order, one brought our food, one refilled our drinks, the first one brought our check. It was odd. Tables weren't cleared off in a timely manner. The floor was a little messy. One employee did a sweep of the carpet, but it didn't help much. I understand it was busy, but there appeared to be a good amount of staff to handle things. Overall, definitely come for the food. Might be a good idea to visit during an off-peak time. read more

Can't say all the food isn't good but I got a 14 ounce strip and it was very bland. And after the food was dropped the server didn't come back until about 5 min after I was done eating. No good. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Our server Kelsey was the best. I have been in management for most part of my life and I have to give 5 out of 5 for her service! If you are in Ormando beach and like BBQ - this is a must. Loved the experience read more

I love eating here. Very authentic and hot, delicious, fresh ribs with a decent salad bar and sauces. The establishment could use a bit if an upgrade but for the most part, it's very delicious and worth the trip read more

I would never come back here. My husband has a big appetite and only got 4 ribs on his plate. (Sonny's has all you can eat). I had the endless salad bar which was tasteless. The bread pudding was so dense it was like a brick. read more

As good as it gets!! My fiance and I came here for lunch and enjoyed pulled pork, fries, and a salad bar. The pork was moist and I smothered mine in their mustard BBQ sauce. The salad bar had lots of goodies including potato salad, pea salad, Cole slaw, and breads. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us sparingly...no hovering and no neglecting. BONUS: Because of this trip, we decided to choose Dustins as our wedding caterer!! read more

I am not a big fan of BBQ, but my husband is. I have eaten here several times and was all and all pleased by my experience. I usually eat the BBQ beef lunch which is reasonably priced and very filling. I wouldn't ask to eat here because I really don't care for BBQ, but if I have to go somewhere for BBQ I would probably pick this place. The staff has always been attentive and it is close to my house. The salad bar has always looked fresh and crisp and I see it being attended to by employees several times during my meal, restocking and cleaning; that's always a plus since I prefer salads to the usual meat and barbecue sauce. read more

YUMMY! They have changed their recipe for their green beans, they are even better! I think they are WAY better than other well known BBQ places. read more

The sliced beef was so thin and just over rare I was Devine. Beans where spicy and FF were cooked just right

Typical Daytona barbecue cookie cutter building and atmosphere, which os not necessarily the worst thing. Friendly service and quick too. read more

Dustin's was amazing!! They have such a great all you can eat salad bar with great soups! I had the bbq beans and hot dog with Mac n cheese and it was amazing! The portion was huge and way too much food for me so my husband had to finish it off. It was amazing and the waitstaff was pleasant and attentive. Really enjoyed our lunch! read more

Very good salad bar, friendly service main menu items ordered were disapointing major problem with visit handled poorly by "Manager" give it a miss read more

We had a meeting at work and our boss ordered food from here. It was absolutely delicious! I ate the brisket, cole slaw, corn, and toast. We all went back for seconds and barely had any left overs. My stars goes for the food. I didn't eat at the restaurant, nor dealt with customer service so I can't speak for that. read more

Save your $ ! We wish we did!! Brisket in all 3 sandwiches was all fat, beans and coleslaw blah. Pulled pork was cold. Waitress never came by to check and see or to refill waters. Bad service and bad food ! read more

Great go-to bar-b-q place! I got the sliced pork plate with fries and slaw. I asked for the pork to be sliced extra thin and it actually came to the table sliced extra thin. The slaw dressing was good and the veggies in the slaw were chopped fine, which I appreciated. I LOVED their garlic bread! The tea was nice and diabetes inducing, which is how it should be at places like this. I really wish we had one of these in Jacksonville. read more

Dustin's Bar-B-Q restaurant might seem small and quaint to the eye, while the food packs an enormous punch. Our family was seated and waited on by a kind young waitress who really made us feel at home. With the prices of the food (around $8 for a decent medium entree), we absolutely loved it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwhich with baked beans (about $6.99), and the salad bar (for an additional $7.99). The salad bar included sweets, fruits, and obviously, the salad. In combination, the food was amazing! Their sauces (BBQ, Honey Mustard, ect.) were among the best I've ever tasted in my life. You won't regret going! I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I see where Yelp has removed my previous review which was not good. I got violently ill after eating their soup which had not been held a food safe holding temps. This has been a ongoing issue at this location. I even logged a complaint with the health dept. this is a family owned business where this store is being set on the back burner in food safety and quality. Just beware. Don't be surprised if Yelp doesn't post this. They don't care about your safety. read more
