| - This restaurant has now closed permanently, and it's not at all surprising. I was super excited to see Buster Rhino's coming to the neighborhood, and I can pinpoint the exact moment that I knew that the biz would fail. It was my first visit, and kiddo and I were excited to mow out on BBQ. I ordered a sweet tea while we perused the menu. Our server brought it over, and I took a sip. It was terrible, rancid, fridged, turned. I sent it back, told the server it had been in the fridge too long and that they needed to throw it out. The manager came over and condescendingly told me "it's too bad that the sweet tea isn't to your taste. Some people find it too sweet". I said, no, it's turned, it's been in the fridge too long. He continued, telling me that I just didn't know what sweet tea tastes like. That's when I informed him that I used to live in North Carolina, where I had worked in a restaurant where I made the sweet tea. You have to make sweet tea daily, it doesn't keep. The batch they were serving was more than a few days old, and it was gross. He seemed shocked and just walked away. At that point, we should have too, but kiddo was stoked for BBQ. And the BBQ sucked. It was dry and tasteless, with poor texture. It tasted re-heated, and I asked the server. She admitted that yes, it was q'd elsewhere and then reheated at this location. What a waste of good meat. So good riddance to this place, and I hope that manager went back and tasted that nasty sweet tea.
