Nice outdoor drive in. Priced a little high. I got a 12 inch chili dog to go. It was 4 stars yummy. I'm looking forward to trying a burger.

Today's installment in my summer-long quest brought me to Buster's Drive-In. I got the half-pound burger (two quarter-pound patties), large fries, and a chocolate shake. All was delicious. The one drawback was that they mixed my order up with someone else's, and I had to wait an extra few minutes for my meal to be prepared. Mistakes happen, and this was not a huge deal, except my shake was no longer as cold as I like it. Otherwise, it's a great meal, and I will return.

Busters is a bust.... 42$ and a long waut for 2 burnt hotdogs, frozen chicken tenders, soggy bland curly fries, onion rings with coating falling off and soggy, burger made wrong, soggy bread and patties completely burnt. I guess at least the highly overpriced sodas weren't messed up. Don't waste your time or money. I know I won't make that mistake again. I believe in supporting local, but not bad business.

2 stars for friendly service, but the food is not great and was too expensive for what it is. I could have gotten more food at Wendy's for $20. I ordered 1 large drink, a burger, a 5 PC chicken tenders, and a small fry. It was $19 and change. The "tenders" are like flat long chicken nuggets, they taste like schoolyard chicken patties, and were $7. The fries were undercooked and unsalted and the burger was like a frozen patty. Unsatisfied, was hoping for a good new place to try. Really wish they had "platters" or meals that came with sides and not individually sold. Maybe thier hotdogs and ice cream is better?

I stopped off on my way home from running errands. In the 6 minutes it took for me to get home, parts of the Styrofoam container some of my food was in had melted through. It was inside of a bag, and all of the contents of the bag were slimy. I tossed everything, but this is a safety issue that will hurt someone if not immediately fixed. I also found no direct contact info for any staff--the phone doesn't even ring, it just goes to voicemail. Someone will get very sick or burned from this. I will not be going again.
