Hidden in the shopping center just north of Via De Ventura on the West side of Hayden is Buster's. Buster's, along with a Chipotle, a flower shop, and some other businesses that I hope to make a better mental note of next visit...
I could easily have gone along with my life and not noticed Buster's although I drive by the area all of the time. But, when my friend Allyson suggested it as a central spot for a few girlfriends to meet for dinner one Tuesday night, I went along with the plan. I'm always up for trying some place new!
Buster's offers traditional bar food along with some seafood, steak, and specialty items. We chose to sit in the bar although none of us partook in their happy hour (which goes until 7). Aside from the waitstaff, we were the youngest people in the place (by a decade or two).
Nothing really stood out, and the food was fine. Not amazing. Not bad. Just fine. I had a Greek Salad with chicken and my two friends each ordered 1/2 portions of the lavosh pizza and side salads. They seemed happier with their orders than I was. I will point out that the lavosh pizzas do not come with any kind of sauce on them but marinara is available for dipping upon request.
The bill was under $20 a person out the door but then again, we didn't order much. I wouldn't choose Buster's as a 'go-to' place again, but I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another shot sometime either.
PS - I didn't notice the musty and damp carpet smell (maybe they replaced it, Natalie!)
