The try tip sandwich is tasty and generous in size. There is a screened in seating area and a couple of places to seat outside that aren't screened in. It's a good deal for the price and offers families and place to eat in a casual atmosphere.

Every year we look forward to eating at Buster's. The ribs (beef & pork), Tri-tip, cole slaw, garlic bread are divine!!!

We were told about Buster's by a local winery guide and he was right, the food is great. We ordered take out style and sat in an enclosed area with picnic bench's. The tri tip sandwich was very good, both mild and hot sauces were tasty. They had a good beer selection and a few half bottles of wine to... More

The food was pretty good. It was very windy when we were there. You have to order your food outside, and it was fairly dusty standing in line - with the wind. We ate in a faraway table, large enough for 12 of us to sit. Good but not great.

We loved the casual style of this place. Food was awesome. We got to see the owner inside the restaurant and heard his stories when he was telling them to some customers. This is a great place for a relaxed time.

We stopped here on a trip to Calistoga last July. Had never heard of it, but the food smelled glorious and we were hungry. We must have timed it just right, we did not have a wait at all. Walked up, ordered, and got our food within minutes. We got chicken and tri-tips, both of which were delicious! No frills... More

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon at 1:00 and had about a 45 min wait standing in line outside. It wouldn't have been so bad if we weren't really hungry, but we could smell the bbq so it got worse by the minute. We also had to stand... a 45 minute wait at a restaurant where you can sit at... More

Ok it looks like a roadside BBQ stand with a screened in dining area, folding chairs...but don't miss it! Some may find it a little pricey but the food was soooo tasty. Fast friendly service. Skip the ribs and get the tender tri tip!!

We stopped for a quick dinner and was very pleased with the food! We had the Tri-tip sandwich and it was so tender and the meat was piled high. The onlt thing is I would get the sauce for my sandwich on the side, it was to much and made the bread very soggy. They close the dinig room early... More

If you want a yummy tri tip sandwich with spiciy barbecue sauce this is your joint. If you are expecting Memphis Championship Barbecue than you are not going to find what you are looking for here. At one time they served a great Tri-Tip Sandwich on garlic bread with spicy sauce and baked beans. It's still good, but the quality... More
