Hot date with the Hunny - the late December temperature was 75 - and where did we go? When going to…read moreand from a one-night campout at Toledo Bend Reservoir, I saw Fausto's Fried Chicken on the west side of the highway. It looked like a choke-and-puke that I enjoy going to: locally owned, very casual, unpretentious, low-priced. It's a 30 minute drive from us, so I suggested it to her, and she said yes. The inside of Fausto's is like what is to be expected from the outside. Enough tables & booths to seat 50, TVs on the wall, plastic plants, old license plates and a Bob's Big Boy sign for decor. It's the kind of place where local celebrity Micah Tyler would feel at home. If you want luxury dining, drive two hours to Houston's Galleria area. For a smidge under $20, we got a thigh & a leg each, she got fries, I got coleslaw, two Cokes. We sat down and got situated - and then someone brought out our dinner one minute later! Now THAT is fast food, and this isn't even a fast food joint. We both enjoyed the chicken. It was hot but not too hot, moist meat, light crunchy skin. Hot sauce bottles are near the drinks, I didn't see them until we were leaving :-( , the chicken would have tasted better with either Tabasco or Texas Pete's. The coleslaw was okay, a little dry. The Hunny wolfed down her fries. Fausto's is a good place to eat, whether for dates, families, sports teams, larger groups, or Micah Tyler. Its casual atmosphere is a good fit for the little Piney Woods town of Buna. It's likely a good fit for you too. Fausto's: making fried chicken great again.

While the Corn Dogs and Boudain balls at Millers are very good, I can't say the same for Fausto's now. What used to be rated as a very good Fried chicken and Burger place has changed and I don't know why but we ordered 4 Burgers for Lunch just the other day and we were all surprised when we got our Burgers out of the sack and unwrapped them! They were very small!!! No where near what they once were. I'd compare them to something you'd get from McDonald's. Very small and not near what it was a few months ago. We haven't had the chicken yet, but will give it a try in the near future, but have read several comments on the chicken. Like being dry, and little or no seasoning to it, and a couple of other things. We were very disappointed in how they have changed the burgers. Point being, if you take over a very successful establishment, why would you change something that works??? I have seen the sign saying they have a salad bar. I haven't seen it, but have heard from a couple of people that it is disappointing and barely makes salad bar status. I do know I'm going to have to go in and just see for myself if all of these things are true or not. But if things have changed like the burgers were changed, I will update this review too. But the burgers are a perfect example of why you don't fix things that aren't broken. Not sure if the inside ambience has changed, but will find out soon.

The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details.
