Buster's Bistro

The Write-Up

The full story

Buster's Bistro on Sanford Avenue pours Belgian Trappist ales and lambics in proper glassware, with a cozy, local feel that regulars compare to a living room. Dogs are welcome, and the room stays comfy and lively without losing its neighborhood ease. Order the French dip, truffle frites, and poutine, or settle into shepherd's pie, croque monsieur, and short rib carbonnade.
