Although I don’t typically consider going to a sports bar
for our Friday night out, we enjoyed our dinner at Buster’s. Buster’s is located 227 State Road in Dartmouth
and seems to be the place to go if you want to catch some sports or even if you
just want to enjoy a good meal.
When we arrived I noticed that there were two separate
entrances – one for the dining room and one for the lounge (bar). Although the entrances basically lead to the
same place, I found this a great solution for knowing where the patrons wanted
to sit. We walked in through the dining
room door and were greeted by a hostess who was able to seat us right
away. While walking to our booth, I
noticed that there was also a sunroom and thought this would be a great place
to eat during the warmer months. The décor
was typical “sports bar” décor with lots of televisions, booths, brick walls,
and bar seating. The bar was a bit
separated from the rest of the dining area so it made the dining room
atmosphere pleasant and not too loud.

| Swedish Fish Martini |
Buster’s had a very long list of beers on tap and a
specialty drink menu filled with lots of delicious choices. My husband ordered a Long Island Iced Tea ($8.00)
and I decided to be a bit more daring and ordered a Swedish Fish Martini ($7.50)
from the specialty menu. This was a
great choice – in fact I ordered a second one before the night was over.

| French Dip Sandwich |
I reviewed the menu and noted that there were also some specials
available including a Lobster Roll, a Fried Clam Plate (made with fresh, whole
belly clams), and Surf & Turf made with Sirloin Steak and Shrimp prepared
in Mozambique Sauce served on a sizzling platter. I also noticed that they had a French Dip
Sandwich available on Friday’s and Saturday’s for $8.49. The menu describes this as slow roasted prime
rib dusted with seasoning, sliced thin topped with caramelized onions, melted
Swiss cheese, served on a crusty French bread with Cajun fries. Although it’s
not something I would typically order, it sounded great. I ordered the sandwich with Regular French
Fries (instead of Cajun Fries) and added a side salad for $2.99.

| Monterey Chicken |
My husband ordered the Monterey Chicken ($8.49). His chicken was a boneless breast of chicken
topped with BBQ sauce, diced tomato, cheese and Applewood smoked bacon, served
with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. He substituted his mashed potatoes
for Sweet Potato Fries and was told that a Squash Medley was the seasonal
veggies.
Both of our meals arrived within a reasonable amount of time
and both were great. Even though I didn’t
set out to go to a sports bar, I’m glad we decided to give it a try. We will be visiting Buster’s again. Total bill including tax was $51.31 which was
very reasonable for two meals and three drinks!
