It's Sunday and very hungry thought we would give this place another chance, after so many terrible orders, and today we were very glad to say our hamburgers were delicious 😋, thank you, I hope it continues

Not that great, they are routinely out of stuff, multiple times out of fries, out of steak, and I hear them tell customers they are out of other stuff all the time. The service is pretty good but whoever the manager is needs some training, maybe a promotion to dishwashing or something. The food is mediocre, but it is pretty cheap. Usually it takes awhile for the food to come out also. I'm not rating it lower because I think the wait staff does what they can with what they have.

We eat here often. It's always pleasant the service is always good. Servers are always friendly. It was a little busy our sever was a little overwhelmed she did well considering she was alone. Cook was great for being alone also.

Place is so gross. Dirty and three of us had a lot of black flecks in our water. Ceiling fans are caked in dirt and the cash register is even covered in dust. Come on, take some pride.

It was good but there was some complaints about wrong order or food was cold the spacing was ok but my food was ok

Came in and the place was empty, I ordered the Big Sloppy as the guy serving tables made it sound really good. Two tables came in after myself, hummed over the menu a moment, and placed CFS orders with gravy and other good stuff. My burrito got lost somewhere, apparently unstarted to my knowledge. I walked out because I know from work experience that scrambled eggs are not as complex or as long to get to the table, may the staff enjoy Schroedingers Burrito.

Eat here if you dare... Your stomach might explode! Serves delicious comfort food and home style cooking. Yummy! I got the chicken fried steak and couldn't finish it. Try their two pounds burger and you might get your picture featured on the wall and a free shirt.

Blonde waitress (Toni) was rude as can be. Took 20 minutes just to get a menu. A customer that didn't even work here brought us our menu. Now the food was a joke. Came out ice cold and bland. Sat in the front and heard the 2 waitresses make mistake after mistake. Saw our food sit up under the heat lamp for 10 minutes. Meanwhile she was folding napkins. Stay far away from this place. Keep on driving, you are not that hungry.

I have LOVED Rustic Cafe for years ! This trip was so disappointing . Actually the last couple of visits have now sealed my decision not to ever eat there again. We got our hamburgers and they were so dry we could barely eat them . There were maybe 7 french fries with my husband's burger , and my double order of mashed potatoes barely equalled one. They were supposed to be 1/2 lb burgers but were no where near that, the buns swallowed the burgers . Neither one of them had any lettuce ,tomato or onion ,pickles on them . My mushroom Swiss didn't have any mushrooms. My husband's all in didn't have the jalapenos or bacon . It was so disappointing. It's really sad to lose one of our favorite places to eat , hopefully someday it will go back to how it used to be . For now we will be eating somewhere else.
