The Busker

"I was going to midtown billiards for lunch but they were closed. Saw the Busker next door and I had the cheeseburger and fries and they were so good. The patty on the burger was really well seasoned. It was a great option for an easy lunch and I’ll definitely be back."

"This is where the old Soutb on Main was. When we visited, it wasn't busy, but we were there for happy hour and dinner. It has a great atmosphere. There are tvs with all the important games on, the bartender was very nice and helpful. The food we had was really good. We started with the fried green beans. They were crunchy and had great flavor. We ordered the grilled shrimp skewer. It was flavorful and light. It is definitely a place to run into and have a drink and check out. They also have bands on weekends. I can't rate this because I haven't seen one there as of yet. Give it a try! SOMA district Eat, drink, and be merry!!"

"Went to check out The Busker (formerly South on Main) to watch Jason Lee Hale and The Space Invaders perform. We enjoyed the wings, which were a little "different" but very tasty! Attentive service from the bartender. We look forward to our next visit!"

"I have never been to south on main before its closure but I would always hear good reviews about the place. When I heard that they were reopening as The Busker, I was excited to go in and experience the new concept. The staff was nice and welcoming and serviced me quickly. I ordered the Fried Green Beans, Mozzarella Bites, Shrimp and Scallop Skewers, and the house cocktail sangria. I originally wanted the Ribeye frites as my main but they were unfortunately out of the ribeye. For a grand total of about $60. The Fried Green Beans were awesome. They were spicy, hot, and crispy. I get the sangria with them and it was alright. Afterwards I get the mozzarella bites. They… were not as hot, not as crispy. Flavor wise they were good. Then I get to the Shrimp and Scallop Skewers and I don’t know what happened but this wasn’t it. While the scallops were alright, the shrimp was overcooked, and the bacon wrapping the shrimp wasn’t cooked enough. Like the bacon fat wasn’t rendered at all. I ended up removing the bacon off the shrimp. Underneath that was a bed of bland and cold rice. I left the rice untouched after some bites. I left here full but not fully satisfied. I’ll eventually come back for the ribeye frites but I reeeeally hope yall will have upped your game by then."

"This was our first visit in several years, and it lived up to the font memories! Staff are helpful , food is innovative and plentiful, patrons are friendly, and the music is great! We were able to get a table with a short-notice reservation at 545pm, but they were booked solid for the night after 615. We saw the jazz band setting up at 715pm but left before they began jamming."
