Absolutely fantastic BBQ... and great music. The servers are ready to help. It's 100% worth driving to if you have to... enjoy!

Fabulous food and fun atmosphere. Bbq on point... had the brisket special. Highly recommend for a reasonably priced outing.

Food was delicious would definitely stop there again. It was my first time there I got there just as they opened so there was absolutely no wait. Food was hot and ready to go.

A really excellent barbecue joint I would highly recommend. I've been to many barbecue joints that become more popular, and as they produce more, the quality of the barbecue inevitably goes dow…

Didn't expect to find such good bbq in Calistoga, but we did. Needed food after two wine tastings so we stopped at Buster's. Ribs were tender and perfectly seasoned. Hubby enjoyed the chicken. …

Flavor was outstanding. Portions kind of small though for the price but good food. Nice place to ride to for lunch and nice staff.

Come for the beach, but in my opinion, leave the sauce out. Born and raised in the Carolinas, barbecue is a way of life and a diet staple. Decided I wanted to do something different here with trying to beef ribs as many places don’t serve beef ribs, but just pork ribs. The way they smoke their meat over and open fire elevated out in the open was unique to this place and tasted fantastic. The outdoor seating option was perfect for this beautiful Friday afternoon. For me the sauce was a complete miss however. Has spices in it that remind me of a Mole sauce, which was odd for barbecue. Love that they’re doing their own thing, just wasn’t big for me And not something I’m used to even though I often eat things that are out of the ordinary.

More like 3.75 stars. Highly recommended: beef ribs, tri-tip, and pulled pork. We had the tri-tip dinner and the bought another 1/2 order to-go. All 3 mentioned above were very tender. Don’t care much about the sides which were small. Maybe because we went 1 hour before closing, the chicken and pork rib were dried. The 2 ladies serving the food were nice and friendly.

The service was okay but, the food was less than desirable.The chicken was dry and terribly overcooked. The pasta salad was like eating a cup of mayonnaise.

We saw the mixed reviews but thought, it’s meat so it can’t be that bad, right? Wrong. It was fatty & tough. We had the tri tip steak & ribs. It was a quick place to eat but not worth it.

If this is southern BBQ then I’m a three legged zebra. I’ve never had pulled pork served in 1/2 cup of water. Ribs were Okay, but nothing to right home about. Just taste like they store bought eve…

Busters was always the best BBQ tri tip in Sonoma and Napa County. They have over the years served less and less meat on their sandwiches. This will be my last visit for a while. I understand this is a business, so raise your prices, dont cut my portion! (And the hot isn't HOT anymore)

This place used to be awesome. Each sandwich would come loaded with meat on a heavenly garlic bread. These days you are lucky to get enough meat to cover even half the sandwich. Good thing the bread is still good because my last four bites were all bread and no meat. Also, the spicy bbq is no joke. It really is spicy so order accordingly. I typically do a half and half to mellow out the spiciness, and I love spicy.

Decent BBQ, but overpriced for what you get.\nThe atmosphere is interesting and not bad because it wasn't crowded. Otherwise it's chaos.\n\nStaff are helpful when it's not busy.

The brisket is tender but wish it had that smoky flavor that great bbq has. The sides were ok. Overall I give it a 3.5/5. Would I return? Probably not but happy to have tried it.

Was so excited to try and it was like cafeteria food. You wait in line and food is ready immediately.. will not be going back

Pretty good roadside barbecue. Lots of food for the money. There was a line when we got there, typical walk up and order drive in type. There's a separate building for eating in. No beverage or sel…

Don’t waste your time the food had no flavor. The sauce did not help with the taste portions too small way too expensive. It states that is black on, but it’s not.

Ordered lunch with my wife while out on our honeymoon in Calistoga. She ordered a tri-tip dinner with coleslaw and baked beans, and I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. The tri-tip was somehow dry while being smothered in sauce, while the pulled pork had nearly zero sauce on it and was equally hard to swallow. The "garlic" bread was burned on the crust side and completely soggy on the inside with zero hint of garlic. We paid over $50 for a lunch that wasn't even worth the 18% tip we paid. Came here expecting good service and got a somehow dry, yet soggy, borderline inedible "southern" barbeque. May have been better 10+ years ago, but not anymore.

Tri-tip was extremely dry and just nothing but fat. The canned beans in a small container were just that. Canned beans. The packaged overly sweetened slaw could give someone diabetes even on the best day. There was NOTHING garlicky about their garlic bread. A soggy burned back piece plopped down on very dry meat and a spoonful of sauce. Husband ordered a pulled pork sandwich and even that was hard to swallow. The bread was so soggy it fell apart while eating it. Shame on me for not looking at reviews prior to ordering! NOT WORTH THE MONEY PAID!

Left very disappointed. Smelled amazing so we had to stop. Brought home brisket and St. Louis ribs with garlic bread. Brisket was juicy but lacked any flavor. Ribs were tough also had little to no flavor. I will say, the mild sauce was delicious and found it made not meats taste far better. The garlic bread, on th recommendation of the staff, was noting more than French bread with butter and garlic salt. Needless to say, we won’t go out of our way to eat here again. I would expect far more for the price.

I had lunch here today and had the three meat with two sides tasting plate. The price was $51 and I also ordered a 6$ drink. I went to the first window and made my order, the person who took the order quickly stacked the items on my plate and told me to step to the next window to pay. That woman said to tap to pay and handed me a drink. When I tapped it said "payment complete $72" and some change. I asked how that added up and she said that was the automatic 20% tip. I said I never said anything about a tip. I told her I did not authorise a tip so she refunded it in cash. California now has a minimum $20 living wage and I don't mind paying a tip when service is part of the experience but 20% for handing my order through a window is outright price gouging and opertunistic behaviour when it is automatic. Unbelievably assumptive behaviour. The Brisket was hot cooked like a steak on the grill, grey, dry, and tasteless.The pork tenderloin was the same. The slightly saving grace was the pulled pork which was moist and nice. The BBQ sauce was tasty and much needed to help me swallow the dry meats. Pasta salad and cole slaw were very average and the garlic bread was very skimpy on both butter and taste. I have worked in the restaurant industry for years and don't mind paying a high price for a steller food experience but this was not it. 1/3 the price at in and out burger is a monumentally better experience. My advice is avoid the hype this place was good 10 years ago but now just routinely rapes the wide eyed bay area tourists who are willing to pay any amount for an experience that should come with a side order of Vaseline...

Very disappointed with our lunch today at this establishment. We have been wanting to go for years and finally tried it. Cost was exorbitant considering the amount of food, meats were dry and flavourless, garlic bread was appalling, might was well have been eating a shoe and no garlic flavor at all. The salads had no flavour whatsoever also, KFC would be better. Terrible experience. I think the old owners treated this place better but now I would never go there again.

María Paliche

My very first time in this place, My husband and I ordered the 3 meat plate, The beef ribs were ok, nothing outstanding Brisket was ok, barely eat it The pork ribs tasted and smelled fishy, I could even smelled them after coming back from the restroom, I don't know how you can make that possible but this was the less flavourful bbq I've ever had. Sides were mid, barely touch them. And 2 coke bottles were room temperature. I don't think we are coming back to this place, but we didn't had any lucky sorry.

We were excited to try the BBQ in Calistoga during our stay and ordered the 2-item combo of chicken and pork ribs. While we chose outdoor dining, we were disappointed to see that there was no active BBQ happening around 5 PM. The chicken was dry, as if it had been cooked days before, which was a letdown. Additionally, the outdoor area had quite a few flies, and our seating was near trash bins, which detracted from the experience. Overall, it didn’t quite meet our expectations.
