my colleagues and I tried it a few times and its always been a dreadful experience. Slow service ( i mean we only have half hour for lunch) bad attitude from all the servers, overpriced food, small portions, everything tastes like pork and most of all, the quality of food is below average. I was in there on tuesday and... More

I've been to Buster Rhino's many times and really enjoy their pulled pork, which is my favourite. Many places soak their pulled pork in some nondescript BBQ sauce and you can't even taste the smokiness in the pork. However, Buster Rhino's does is just perfect. I've also tried their ribs and really enjoy them as well! Recently, I finally had... More

As a southerner living in Canada, I pine for the tastes of home. To my surprise Buster Rhino's transported me back to Texas with their mouthwatering BBQ. YUM. I love that you can take it home and heat it up quickly. Stash in the freezer for quick meals, and mostly enjoyed that they had authentic BBQ, the way it is... More

Their ribs are awesome! And I always buy extra bottles of their rib sauce, when they are not sold out of them :-)

Having eaten at many BBQ joints from Austin to Nashville, including Memphis, not to mention growing up in the south, I think I'm qualified to give an accurate assessment of a restaurant claiming to be an "authentic" southern BBQ restaurant. Buster Rhino's scores low on my scale. There was no aroma of smoke as we entered. Seems they don't serve... More

second time was not an improvement. Marketing is good, but the food notsomuch. The pulled pork was very uneventful...my husband added condiments and some spices at home. The small side was really tiny and the price was pretty big...I think I can make better at home. Too bad really, because the concept of Southern BBQ in an awesome food choice... More

We are all willing to travel great distance for that great food experience. Buster Rhino's is a hole in the wall with very little seating but great pulled pork, beef brisket and the best smoked ribs any where. Darryl the owner and grill master is usually about for advise and gab. They have take out ready to eat and to... More

I stop at Buster Rhino's every time in can when I drive between my home in Prince Edward County and Toronto. They have the moistest, tenderist and best-tasting brisket in this part of the province. Sauces are good too. Pulled pork, average to slightly above average, but the brisket is 5 out of 5. We get it frozen to take... More
