Buster is the BEST BBQ PIT in northen Californina, that’s northen of Santa Roas to Oregon. “Buster is a BBQ- Master”, day in day out, everyday that is.
There is no chain, just a small good ass BBQ pit. He OWN’S that small lot, bought it back in the early 80′s, when Cailsotga was cheep.
He’s been BBQ in Cailsotga for 20 years now. He just build a huge home over looking Cailsotga town.
When in town, the super rich, movie star’s stop by for some smoky tri-tip BBQ.
“He’s the best flat out.” He is a Master BBQ man.

NOT true, this place is owned by Buster, it is NOT a chain. Anyone that is been there would know this. Buster is out early every morning with his dogs preping the out door BBQ for the day. Great food and friendly service, NOT a chain!

I live five blocks down the road from Busters. It is NOT a chain restaurant. The person who wrote that is mistaken and obviously never been there. Busters BBQ is owned by Buster, who is actually there preparing the outdoor grill with wood every morning as I take my kids to school. He has been at this location roughly ten years and serves a soulfull BBQ plate for a very decent price, probably the only affordable place in Calistoga. The place is always packed, I have never seen a slow day there. Check out http://www.busterssouthernbbq.com for a pic of the real “Buster”, and check out the restaurant , you wont be disapointed!

PAY ATTENTION!! Don’t give a place a bad rap when you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re in Washington for crying out loud. Buster’s was started by Buster. It’s a tiny hole in the wall dive and is LOCALLY owned. Come visit our beautiful wine country and see for yourself.

nope….this is just called “Buster’s Barbeque”….no Texas in it at all….probably one and the same as what you have….they have them up here in Washington and Oregon…

I think you are confusing this with Busters Texas BBQ which is indeed a chain that has restaurants on the West Coast…
Buster is a real person who opened this BBQ joint many years back in Calistoga…drive by any you’ll see what I mean…

Comment: The best sandwiches, thanks to the garlic toast and their hot sauce, which they sell by the jar. Not the friendiest people working there, but food makes you look past that!
