The "Gut Buster" from Bar 3 BBQ
Reviewed by Craig Dugas. ■■■■■ 5/5 "Better than your all-in-one printer/scanner/copier" Bozeman has two BBQ joints: Bar 3 BBQ and Famous Dave's. You go to Famous Dave's as a group to sit down and be served some average restaurant chain meals. You go to Bar 3 BBQ to get some tasty Q and get on with your day. Before I get to the Gut Buster sandwich, I should mention that what pushed this review up to 5 of 5 blocks is what this critic considers the tastiest brewed sweet and unsweet tea in town. Mmmm fine. Not entirely sure what a Gut Buster was, I ordered it to-go on a whim. It turns out to be a slow-cooked pulled pork sandwich with a layer of barbecue seasoned fries, a thick slab of green chili cheese grits and a few dashes of classic southern hot sauce. Heck, even a vegetarian could enjoy this sans the juicy pig. I ordered this as a combo meal and the guy behind the counter gave me the "uhh really?" look. That makes sense now... this sandwich IS the combo (and the extra side was completely unnecessary). The flavors work very well together - juicy pulled pork, warm seasoned fries and the green chili cheese grits are like a thick gooey layer of cheese. After each bite, you don't really taste any hot sauce, but you feel the burn on your lips and think "oh yeah, hot sauce." Of course you quickly forget about that until the next bite. Is this really a 5 block sandwich? You betcha - affordable, made fresh to order, sided with fresh brewed sweet tea, all y'all better head on over yonder to get yer barbecue.
