Dustin’s Bar-B Q

I have been a fan of Dustins for many years. This year however, I noticed many changes. the napkins on the table are small and useless and feel like cardboard, the cottage cheese is from a different supplier, cheaper, I suspect, and not good at all. Before the change, I used to purchase extra cottage cheese and take it home. Not this. I get burned garlic bread often and send it back. My baked potato is old and wet inside. Nasty. And to top all of this off, they switched beverage suppliers, cheaper of course from coke to pepsi. That is enough for me and my family to find another bar-​b-​q restaurant. Saying good by to this place really hurt but we don’t care to support these cheap changes.

Had dry rub chicken wings as an appetizer. they were delicious, So we decided to order them a few days later, as an out going order.
Ate them got very sick immediately, tasted greasy, and like they sat out to long and then were refried again. Very little rub on them.
Called no response, they seemed like they didn’t care.

This is a family-​owned local chain and though it looked very much like a Sonny’s Barbecue inside, we both thought the selection and quality of the food was better. Fast service and good food.

Nice brisket, ok salad bar, great service, great value. Friends enjoyed their pork, very thinly sliced. Good sauces.

My friend got married and hired Dustin’s to deliver the food for the reception. We were setting everything up when the driver arrived. We asked if he had the burners and extra pans, and if he was staying to serve the food. He apologized and said that his instructions were to only drop the food off and none of those items were on the order. He called the restaurant and another employee showed up within 10 minutes with everything we asked him about. Both employees set all of the food and drinks up for us and then stayed to serve the food, which was delicious. It started to pour and both guys continued to smile and serve until the last person had food. Then they quickly broke everything down and put the leftover food in the kitchen. I was so impressed with the wonderful customer service and quality food. I highly recommend Dustin’s Bar-​B-​Q.

During dinner rush staff was on point. Order taken right away, delivered fast, and ribs taste amazing. Would def go again

Its a good place to eat. Fast service and good food. Its my first time eating here (i called in to place my order to go) however the woman who answered the phone was rude and seemed annoyed. Very unpleasant. Otherwise, I would definitely eat here again. Maybe not order take out though… :/

If you’ve eaten at Sonny’s you’ve almost eaten here. Meat, fries, okra, Texas toast, tea is almost identical. Sorry Dustins, Sonnys still has the best beans and sweet barbecue sauce. Service was good. We will eat here again.

This place is a casual BBQ place with good ribs. Super quick service & friendly staff

This is probably my favorite restaurant chain for BBQ. They’re staff is amazing and the sweet tea is perfect. Not too sweet but not watered down. I’m very picky when it comes to sweet tea and this place, NAILS IT every time! My husband and I like to go for lunch and order some pulled pork and the salad bar. The salad bar has all my favorite toppings and then some. Eggs, bacon bits, cheeses (chunks or shredded) peas, chick peas, olives, pickles, beets, etc. They also have your potato salad, coleslaw, and sometimes chicken salad. There’s soup available on the salad bar as well but for an extra cost.
I think I mentioned this before on another Dustins review but at a different location… We had them cater our wedding and they were fabulous! Very attentive to our guests, arrived early, served fresh food that was nice and hot, and were extremely polite. We were very impressed! Anyone needing a good caterer, they’re the ones to go to!

When my girlfriend want a really fresh and great tasting soup and salad bar we come here. The BBQ is amazing here as we’ll and you get a free meal on your bday too. The pulled pork is amazing and I love the different sauces to experiment with too. Great place for BBQ in port orange.

Super slow service. Food was good when it finally came though. Too bad. It was convenient to the highway.

Pretty darn good bbq here at Dustin’s. We had them catered to our work place and was very happy that such good food was available to me all I could eat! Can’t beat unlimited bbq, I am not ashamed to take seconds!
Had the bbq beef, turkey, and chicken that were all very good. Sauce was excellent as well. The sides were the garlic bread, corn on the cob, and beans which were equally as good.
From my experience they had an overall pretty good bbq, would return if in the area.

Just went in for dinner and we go to Sonny’s about once a week but decided to try something new. I wish we wouldn’t have! Gave 2 stars due to my kids liked their wings, burger, and hot dog. The pulled pork wasn’t good and the beans tasted like they came out of a can. I will stick with Sonny’s!

I am a Texan and I know BBQ… this «ain’t» BBQ. We ordered what we thought was a beef, pork, rib combo. The ribs are tough, the meat does not fall of the bone. The sliced beef and pork appeared to look more like roast beef not BBQ. When the waitress asked for the second time how was the food my husband could not help but to reply we don’t like it, since it was still on our plates. She was kind enough to offer us the chicken in which he did take her up on. It was ok but more like rotisserie chicken. I will have to say that the baked bean, potato salad, and French fries where good. I will also applaud them for reducing our bill to a chicken plate instead of the combo.

Though I can’t say I’m a big time fan of Dustin’s, I’m going Four Stars on it since, though it may not rate very high as far as barbecues in other areas, it’s one of the better in the Daytona area. To me it’s far superior in every way than is Sonny’s, their basic market competitor.
I’ve been at Dustin’s several times. It’s a rather typical casual BBQ place with little exceptional a about it but the Q that I’ve had has a good texture along with deep smoke flavor, basically the way a barbecue should taste.
I went for the ribs which you may order as either in babyback «Dustin’s» which is advertised as slow cooked, falling off the bone tender or the «St. Louis» style spare ribs. True to their ad, I did find the «Dustin’s,» which I had to in fact have been slow cooked, rich in smoke flavor and falling off the bone tender.
I also went for sides of beans, tasty but rather skimpy in portion, and their deep fried okra. I must say the okra was better than that normally served in BBQ outlets.

Dustin’s is better compared to Sonny’s. Their food just has a better quality to it. The salad bar is always fresh and well stocked. I’ve never had an issue with finding anything of a questionable nature, like I have with Sonny’s. For example Dustin’s cleans their mushrooms, where I have been to places that def do not.
Their portions and prices are a good fit. You won’t leave hungry or feeling like you’ve been robbed in the process.
The wait staff is always pleasant and helpful and we’ve never felt rushed

I agree to go here because I like their salad bar. I can get unlimited trips to the salad bar along with a plate of meat (I get turkey) for less than $ 10. Works for me!
The BBQ isn’t the best, but there aren’t a lot of options close by for BBQ anyhow. The closest thing is Sonny’s and I can’t say that it is any better. Dustin’s sauce is better and that makes up for it.
Their service is always pretty good. You can seat yourself and then we usually don’t have to wait very long for someone to come get our drink order. Our waitress the last time we went was great about bringing clean salad plates (we both got the salad bar) and refilling our drinks.

Saw Dustin’s while my wife and I were out shopping in Daytona Beach and it read BBQ, that was enough to have us go try it out. When we walked it and saw the place and with the salad bar the first thing I thought was Sonnys.
The waitress was nice and asked is for our drink order. Long story short she got distracted and we didn’t get our drinks or asked for our order. My wife got annoyed so I went to ask for another waitress.
The new waitress recommended the BBQ ribs and pulled pork which we ordered. My pulled pork sandwich came in a warm bun which was a little disappointing as I was expecting a toasted garlic bread like Sonnys. The pulled pork didn’t have much flavor but I fixed it with some BBQ sauce.
My wife’s ribs (St Louis) was a dry rub and was already cut. We usually prefer our rack of ribs uncut and saucy after bring BBQ, maybe we should of ordered the other «melt of the bone» rib.
Anyhow, the food was ok and service was ok, however wasn’t as good as Sonny’s.

Okay, this is a clone of Sonny’s down to the exact items on the salad bar. While I think any form of duplication is flattery, Sonny’s is not too distinct from Bono’s, Bubba’s, The Georgia Pig (now closed) Freddy’s, Felipe’s…, but I digress. Good barbecue is good barbecue no matter how many rocking chairs are on the porch and no matter how deer antlers are mounted on the walls.
I must say that the BBQ was good… not great, but service was quick, efficient and pleasant. My son loved his turkey plate, my daughter her pulled pork, but my baby backs and my daughters cheeseburger were just so so. But did I mention the quick service?
Okay, good for dropping by off the Interstate, but not if you are looking for a great family meal.
