It's been nine years since my last review of this location and being at the time I was very disappointed, I thought after all these years I'd give them another try. I want to start by saying the staff here was fantastic- very friendly and inviting and I wish I could give them 5 stars however "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished". The food was so disappointing except for the bread, coleslaw and fried okra but I didn't come here for the sides - the pork ribs were undercooked and so tough it was almost impossible to eat them, trying to get the meat off the bone was almost impossible, while tugging on the bone without success the word "mule" came to mind. The chicken was also undercooked I ordered this meal online so there was no returning it I paid extra for all white but received a thigh and a leg. The sliced pork was tough and fatty I gave up early it was awful. Well we'll give them another decade and see if things improve this was not worth the $43.00 by any means... read more

Hmm...so the place is nice and clean! The servers were very friendly. But the place had an odd vibe altogether...and very dated. The food was nothing I'd go back for, our order that finally arrived was wrong, and dry and flavorless...the bbq sauces really were not special or even good. I did enjoy what my husband and I dubbed as the 70's ponderosa salad bar. We won't return. read more

Food was delicious our waitress-rude! Name was Kylin or Kylie-don't get her OMG. Texting while we were ordering, forgot our drinks several times. We still tipped because we are a good family but my husband was in SHOCK. They've really hired some rude servers. Get better Dustin's! read more

I'm from Nc and have a good handle on our bbq there though I'm not a fan of vinegar based bbq. Dustin's was super tasty; I had bbq (a bit dry) and bbq ribs super saucy, well seasoned and fall off the bone tender. Fries were pipping hot, salad bar was fresh and appealing with house made ranch . Baked beans killed it and I ate way to much garlic toast. Would definitely come back when I. The area. read more

Dustin's is my favorite place to get an awesome salad bar !! Always fresh !! Everything tastes great. They also serve a delicious steak. Mine was tender, cooked right. read more

Best BBQ in the area. There broccoli salad is so delicious. Customer Service is always available. Love this place and keep going back for more! read more

Never disappoints! We frequently stop in to eat. You really can't go wrong with any of the menu options and the salad bar is great.

Dustin's is always spot on, favorite spot to grab a bite to eat & have their salad bar, sweet tea is always great & service is fantastic. Brisket or ribs & my lunch favorite is the jumbo smoked turkey on garlic bread! It's a large building with tons of tables, served quickly for those of us on lunch break & is always appreciated. If you are near it you can't go wrong with a visit. read more

Salad bar was the best . But if you eat to much of that the rest goes home. Great food fast service clean and neat place great staff and nice big seating areas. Great place fair price good for the family. read more

Food and service was good. There was no wait to get seated. I got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious.

I was in New smyrna Beach and craving some good ol bbq! I was surprised enough to make the jaunt 2 times in a week ! It was splendid !! The staff was courteous and during covid so they gave option to have it brought to your vehicle in a numbered spot ! The vfw is adjacent to the property and they had so many american flags placed so we got ours to go and watch ol glory eco her magic on our souls ! Tell them Carrie sent you ! Let's get the great places on the maps of so so places .!!! Ask for extra napkins read more

Oh Dustin's! You know I love you but today I decided I was going to have a Caesar salad and add a guilty pleasure of fried chicken. Now I know you are known for your barbecue so I thought to myself I'll bet they'll make a nice piece of fried chicken for me. But when I got my salad it was a patty from my groceries freezer of processed chicken food, oh Dustin! how could you do that to me!? All I ask is that you change your menu to say Caesar salad, with "fried chicken patty." So now all I'm stuck with is the guilt and the calories but not all of the pleasure. And I mean, I was looking forward to a nice juicy piece of chicken thickly breaded with a crisp fried crust and all I got was a warmed up piece of frozen chicken patty. It's like going on one of those dating apps when the picture just doesn't match the person that shows up. So after a 20% tip and $18 charge, I think next time I'll go to the drive-through at McDonald's and see if their chicken salad compares? Still love you though. read more

Unfortunately I believe the quality of Dustin's in edgewater has gone down . Last year it was always good hot food . I realize this is a chain but it was over the top good . This year one meal was good the next three not so good . I will say the servers are great ! Portions are great but the food is not up to snuff . Average price place . I will try it again but not for a while ! read more

They gave my credit card to another person at checkout who left with it. Didnt even offer to comp my meal.

Delicious! Best wings my family has ever had...we wish we were able to have more. We will be regular customers on our trips to Florida! I got the beef brisket with coleslaw and Mac n cheese. It was great! Only critique is the brisket was a little dry but the flavor was great. The thin sliced garlic bread and mac n cheese also amazing! My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and he said it was amazing as well. The waitress was very nice and quick with our order. Overall this was a great lunch. read more

Check to go orders before you leave! I was missing a side dish. Having said that the food was good if slightly small portions for the dinner meal. read more

I paid $19.11 and the food was worth $8.99. The chicken thigh and leg was so tiny. It would be an ok size for a child. Then you get three 5" ribs. 1 cup on pork n beans, a baked potato that was pruned and probably baked the night before. making the meal absolutely DISAPPOINTING! Then the food was barely warm enough not to be cold. The size and quality of the chicken was so poor youu can tell it came from large plaastic bag from sams club. The waItress never asked me how the food was soo I could break the news if the low qqualIty high price meal was, but something tells me she knows not to ask. Their glass cover over the salad bar is stilL hanging on chains. I love watching it swing. II wonder how many ppl get hit in the face or neck. Who would thiNk that's a cute decorating element? After I checked out I told the cashier how bad it was. But all she did was her fake I'm sorry and never bothered to get a manager or discount the price. THAT PLACE NEEDS A HUGE SHAKE DOWN The "cooks" lack professionalism and pride I. Their wwirk and it shows throughout the place read more

Visiting family in EdgeWater. They haven't tried most of the places and we decided we would give this a go. We called in an order of six different selections. We got two rib plates, two jumbo pulled pork sandwiches, a pulled pork plate, and a beef, pork, and rib combo. First the good. We called in the order and they had it ready in 10 minutes. The people were very friendly and patient. The order was put together flawlessly, even when separating the sides (separating the cold and hot). As for the food, there is a lot to be desired. The ribs had good texture. But they tasted like they were cooked in an oven, not smoked. The pork and beef really didn't have much flavor to them. There certainly was no evidence that they had been smoked or seen smoke or has someone smoking near by when they were being prepared. That being said, the sauce was pretty good and if you add that to the meat, it was pretty good. As for sides, fries were crispy. Coleslaw was decent and beans were pretty good. Pricing is pretty consistent with other BBQ joints. About $15 per plate. Sandwiches were about $9.00. I can't say I recommend the place, but all in all, I think it was just meh. read more

Our family was in town for a baseball tournament and looking for a yummy mom and pop. We hit the jackpot. 3 of the 4 in our party ordered only the salad bar and were so very impressed. Pasta salad, broccoli salad, potato salad, pickled eggs, pickled brats, homemade muffins, dessert dishes, soup and fresh vegetables cheese and eggs. We will be back! read more

Took some friends to Dustin's for dinner! Table was clean, service was fast and friendly! Waitress kept our drinks full and checked on us frequently. Food was good, and got to the table quickly! We'll be back again on our next trip to NSB! read more

Food was awful and the portions were small. I'll never go there again! The service was what you might expect from a fast food chain and the ambiance was common for fast food establishments! read more

My wife and I visited on Friday the 21st. Always in the past we have enjoyed Dustin's. This time the food was horrible. The ribs and pulled pork had no flavor and was dry. The chicken was not fully cooked. The only thing good was the salad. read more

Ordinary BBQ that's okay. Alright. They have some quirky odd rules. Like if you get the rack of ribs with the salad bar, and share the ribs with anyone at the table, they charge you full price for that salad bar. Something about a coupon. And when your check comes to the table you'd better know to run it on up and pay the cashier on the way out or face gaunt blank stares from your server. The hanging salad bar sneeze guard is so low it's ridiculous. You should see people try to load their plates with that thing a swingin'! This is the lesser known doppelganger to that other homogenous BBQ chain with the Big Deal. read more

I sent an e-mail and a picture to Dustin's requesting a partial refund for our take-out order, but have not received a response, nor an acknowledgment after 24 hours. The baked potato in my order was rotten in the middle. This was obvious to whoever sliced it while preparing the order. Normally you can just cut it out, but the rot went down to the skin. I took a picture of it and emailed Dustin's requesting a partial refund. I could have sent my husband back to Dustin's for a replacement, but decided to just eat the rest of my meal. I couldn't eat the chicken - totally dried out and skin was too hard to chew. Gave the meat to our dogs. It's insulting that whoever prepared my order didn't just replace the potato after cutting it down the middle. $50 order, and all I could eat from my meal was the corn. Rating reflects four stars for the potato, down to three stars for still including it, and then down to two stars for not responding to email and for chicken quality. read more

I've been going to Dustin's for 15 years. we loved the sliced pork and the baby back ribs. BUT for the last year the meat has been dry dry dry. i keep hoping it will be better next time but it's not. my sliced pork sandwhich was not only dry it was hard around the edges. and the meat was mostly in the middle of the bun. and of course smaller portions of meat. i don't like to send food back. the cooks take offense and no telling what they might do to your food back there. i think it must be new management took over a year or so ago? corporate should know this location is ruining their reputation. unfortunately i won't be going back. read more

I ordered takeout and the food was great, The curbside service was excellent. Definitely recommend

Not good. Went for lunch about 1:00. I got the Friday special of turkey. It consisted of about two ounces of thinly sliced turkey, a small cup of coleslaw and two slices of Texas style toast. For $6.00 ok My wife ordered bbq chicken. The chicken was cooked earlier since it was delivered in about 5 minutes. She said the macaroni Dali's wasn't good. I ate the baked beans. Good taste but we're just warm. Not hot. The bathroom was clean. Two urinals and two toilets. read more

On our last night of vacationing in New Smyrna, all we wanted was some BBQ and discovered this tasty gem. We enjoyed the chicken, brisket, ribs and pulled pork. I personally loved the baked beans and cole slaw. We left stuffed and can't wait to return the next time we back this way. read more

Definitely not a 4 Star. My husband and I love to eat at local spots on vacation. We both ordered the Tuesday lunch special. It came with two sides and garlic bread. I will say this the portions were a good size, and the house sauces are tasty. You definitely get a good value, but the sides tasted below average and the quality of the pulled pork was nothing to write home about. Also we weren't thrilled with the service. Our waitress was slow, and not very enthusiastic or engaged. Overall not bad....just not great.... read more

This place is my favorite. They have the best ribs and homemade barbecue sauce.it comes with two sides . They have salad bar too.

Friendly and courteous staff, good job. Now that we got that out of the way, Dustin is clearly Sonnys little brother because he/this place is trying so hard to have good BBQ. I am not interested in repeating what Dave O and John M said but, I should've read and listened to their reviews. Chicken wings were decently good, y'all take care now read more

Stopped in for lunch. We're from out of town and figured we'd give it a try. My wife got buffalo wings: big, meaty, and satisfying. I had brisket: really delicious, just perfectly done, with superior potato salad (I'm picky about that), coleslaw, and garlic bread. We'll be back! read more

I love this place! The best barbque in the country, (to me) Great cuts of meat, sweet barbque sauce, garlic bread and the best beans. I go here every time I'm in town visiting my parents. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, despite the mixed reviews. The place was full, even though it was 2:00pm. Took over 5 minutes to get waited on. Ordered the pulled pork, which came with cole slaw and garlic bread, and I chose to add baked beans. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, but didn't really have much flavor. Once I added Dustins pulled pork sauce, it was better. The baked beans were sweet and tangy, with onions and beef in them. Both the garlic bread and the cole slaw were just average. My waitress was very friendly, and other than forgetting to bring the hot sauce I asked for, did a good job for as busy as they were. It seems like they're understaffed on wait help, since I had a longer than normal wait to place my order, and the bill was a little slow being delivered. One other good note: you can get whatever you're drinking to go, at no extra charge. If you're not a bbq afficionado, it's probably a good place to get bbq, at what seems like a reasonable price. But if you're used to really lip-smacking bbq, pass it up. read more

We stopped here for lunch by chance. My husband has wings: meaty and tasty. I had their fish sandwich and it was piled on a delicious bun with lettuce and tomato. Their baked beans were fabulous with a little kick! Fresh iced tea. Very clean, even the rest room! Wait staff very friendly and efficient. read more

This location is definitely needs a major deep cleaning. The restaurant's interior needs some major upgrades. The places has not been updated since it was built. The town has limited options for restaurants. It is like one step above Sunny's BBQ. read more

Friendly. Clean. Great parking. Easy to access. But: the BBQ is quite ordinary, even flat tasting. It filled my stomach without adding much fulfillment. I found the salad bar more interesting than the Q. This is not the spot if you are looking for great homemade flavor. read more
