Dustin’s Bar-B Q

Excellent bar-​b-​que! Large portions, good salad bar, reasonable prices… nothing to complain about!
Definitely worth finding if in Melbourne!

Had lunch here last week, there were about 12 of us as it was a work-​fuction lunch. Servers were fast, friendly and knowledgeable, drinks were served quickly, iced tea was perfect. Our food was brought out within 10 minutes of ordering, a little too quickly for those in our party who also ordered the salad bar because they didn’t have ample time to peruse or eat their salads. Many in my party had the pulled pork lunch special and it was hot, fresh, large portions, the toasted garlic bread it came with was delicious. The teeny-​tiny sides of baked beans and coleslaw was disappointing to many, you could barely get your fork in it to eat because the teensy cup it comes in is so small. The servers did ask each of us at the end of our meal if we wanted our drinks to-​go and brought everyone to-​go drinks in styrofoam cups, which was a nice perk. What really caught my attention and was noteworthy is the cleanliness of the entire restaurant, everything, including the light fixtures, floors, walls, etc, was spotless and shiny. I see from other reviews that some aren’t a fan of their bbq sauce but I thought it was very good. Overall, great service, good food, good prices… good experience.

I really was just looking for a place with a modern salad bar. Dustin’s barely meets the criteria. Busy place but I wasn’t impressed with the barbecue or the salad bar. I’d compare it to Chili’s… nothing is really authentic here.

Prices are higher than normal BBQ joints but beware of up charges for little things like an up charge on even simple garlic toast instead of a bun. Seriously? Up charge me for bread on a freaking BBQ sandwich? I’m done with this place…

Went there last week for the first time after seeing commercials on TV and was severely disappointed. first off the food was cold and the chicken and ribs wasn’t BBQ it was smoked, no grill flavor or taste, portions were small and half way through my partner and I couldn’t eat anymore, it was the lousiest BBQ joint we have ever been to in all my life, it was the first and last time going there… no wonder the place was empty… yuck!

Ordered take out. When I called they said 10 minutes if took 15 mins to drive there then had to wait another 20 minutes on my food. The hostess at the take out window was rude not a place I want to visit or recommend to friends and family.

Absolutely the best bbq in breviary. Sliced beef dinner is awesome. Tender. Flavorful. Great salad bar and soups. Servers are great. Nicki is our favorite. Treats you right. Nice family restaurant. Iced tea is outstanding. Will always come back.

The food is really good and the place is very clean. I really liked the wooden ceiling. The service is also good.

Just finished a very frustrating lunch here. Food was ok, chicken sandwich and sliced pork for my husband. When we ordered both of us upgraded to sides of onion rings. We were informed there would be an extra charge. No problem! Then the bill came.$ 5.00 per extra side of onion rings. We asked to speak to manager who’s first reply was «well did you asks how much the onion rings would cost»… Um I am sorry, but no in my stupidity and 11 years of working in the restaurant business, I would expect to be informed that your restaurant charges almost triple of ever other bbq restaurant in the area for a side of onion rings. Also even the least experienced server would make sure to inform their guest of that fact considering my lunch plate itself was only 6.99!!! So $ 14.00 for 2 lunches plus 10.00 for onion rings…

Not what I think of when I want bbq. Ordered St Louis style ribs and the plate included five bones and two sides for $ 14.99 (picture showed rack, but was told they weigh them out to ¾ pound). Fries were good, but baked beans were terrible. Kids got chicken tenders and they really liked them and wife liked her pork sandwich with fries. Reminded me of Sonny’s bbq if you are familiar, but not as good. Priced high for what you get. Will do if nothing else available as far as bbq, but would try elsewhere if possible.

My favorite BBQ place to go to when I’m in Florida it’s right next to my neighborhood/​development, their sauces are amazing, the salad bar is amazing, their pulled pork is amazing and the sweet tea is to die for! I love the lunch platter and the dinner platters, because they are so big they you will always have left overs. During the week around lunch time the place is jammed packed! I can’t wait to go back to Florida and have my Dustin’s!

I like the salad bar!!!

Great service horrible food!
I was in the mood for some BBQ so I looked to my boyfriend for suggestions since I’m new to the area. He said lets try Dustins, he had not been there either yet so we figured we would give it a try. We made a very bad decision, let me say the service was fabulous, but we ordered hot wings first of all they weren’t hot and they were so dried out it was like eating sawdust! Then for dinner I ordered Ribs with brisket french fries and cole slaw, the ribs were dry and rubbery and the brisket was the same. the only good things were the french fries and the coleslaw. So we paid $ 50 for french fries and cole slaw. Needless to say Dustins will not get a repeat visit from us!

Enjoyed our dinner very much. We both got the pulled pork and our entire bill was under $ 20. The waitress was extremely nice. I know we will be back again.

My wife and I stopped in and ordered the babyback ribs and the B-​B-​Q ½ chicken. The ribs and chicken were wonderful. The baked beans were out of this world. You must try the sweet sauce. It was great! And the waitress and server were very nice and attentive to our needs. We will be back again.

I stopped by for lunch and tried the special. $ 6 got me chicken, bread and two sides.
Chicken was blah. It was a small thigh and a small drumstick.
Bread was blah. I suppose it’s supposed to be texas toast, it was neither texas nor toasty.
Sides were blah. Coleslaw was ok but the fries were completely flavorless.
For $ 6, I’ve gotten better meals at Burger King.

Lousy service, mediocre food, overpriced menu.
We visited Dustin’s for dinner and, after a nearly twenty minute wait just for someone to take our drink order, we considered leaving.
We stayed and our disappointment only continued with the delivery of room temperature, flavorless meals with an outrageous check attached to them.
Vowed to never return. Sonny’s has become our de facto favorite among BBQ restaurants in the area. I would even go so far as to rank Memaw’s higher.

I came here with a group of about 15 people during lunch time. We were quickly seated and attended to right away and were never forgotten through out our visit.
I wanted a sandwich but I didn’t want fries and they menu clearly says «No substitutions». The waitress was helpful and let me know about the all you can eat salad bar. Which has potato salad and a couple other side items along with the salad for only $ 2.99 when you purchase a sandwich.
I got my sandwich and the potato salad I wanted AND a side salad! It was perfect. I was impressed by the salad bar. Offering crisp lettuce and many different toppings, two different types of creamy potato salad and a couple of other succotash type sides. The pulled pork was decent. Not fatty or too dry but I have had better. The BBQ sauce was really what lacked here. Other than that, I give Dustin’s 4 stars. I walked out of there full and very satisfied with the food, service, and price.

We came here as a large group of 8, including fellow Unilocaler Robert C. and Esther S.
Being from out of town and not knowing where the best places are, I fired up the iPhone Unilocal app and began to search of Barbecue.
4 Stars with 4 reviews? Not too shabby! We’re going there!
Yes, it was a little out of the way from where we were staying but sometimes you’ve got to go a little out of your way to get something good.
Started with the sweet tea, which was pretty decent.
I ordered the ½ Babyback & ½ St. Louis Style ribs, a sweet potato, and baked beans for the main meal.
Esther S. ordered a side of fried Okra which I tried. Very good, and a bargain at only $ 2!
The babybacks were fall off the bone tender as described, with good smoked flavor. They didn’t need additional sauce.
The St Louis Style were also tasty, especially with the Hot BBQ sauce.
The sweet potato was large, unlike some BBQ joint’s I’ve been.
The beans were also good, seemed to be made there since it didn’t have that «out of the can» flavor.
We Miamians aren’t used to places closing at 9:00, so I should also mention the food was spit-​free even though we arrived 30 mins before closing. I’m glad there are people who still appreciate business during business hours!

Love this place.
Lots of tasty food
