The Rusty Melon

Food: Yummy! I had the bbq bacon burger which was yummy! I enjoyed the onion rings being on there too, it added a nice crunch. The fries were nice and really crispy! Could use with a little more flavor, but other than that delicious! I also had a tiny bit of the mac n' cheese which was creamy, and had a good flavor.Service: Good! Our waitress was nice and attentive, especially since it's a choose your table restaurant.Ambience: It is a cute little pub, and was very busy!Overall: Good food and good experience, would come back!!

This place feels a little higher than a sports bar, but it's definitely a sports bar. It also feels very small town - especially with the local sports teams on the wall. It was pretty clean and tidy inside which was nice. Service was okay. We weren't greeted but more so told to sit down wherever we wanted to; which we did. Waitress didn't know what was on tap and told us to go check what was on the list over by the front door. We ordered our drinks and then took a look at the menu. Food looked good, I opted for the normal burger but wanted cheese and bacon added which was an option under the item. Girlfriend got the rattlesnake burger, which she liked. When my burger came I noticed it didn't have the cheese nor the bacon. I didn't really care at this point and just ate the food. The burger and the fries were good, and I would try this place again. Everyone deserves a second chance. Overall service was lacking just a bit, we'd say our thanks when things were delivered to the table and the waitress would just walk away without so much as a smile. We'll come by again to try some of the other items, hope for some better service.

Friendly neighborhood restaurant with bar. Food is always delicious and of high quality. All their staff are very friendly and welcoming

My friends and I come here for lunch on Fridays every now and again. Great burgers, the meatball sub and steak sandwiches are great. The smoked wings are delicious. My favorites are the Reaper burger and hybrid reaper Hawaiian burger. The staff are great, they are very attentive and helpful.

The Rusty Melon is okay. My husband and I tried to order dinner on their website and that was a near disaster. Not only did the system charge me twice, but the Fish n Chips I wanted to order wasn't clickable on their website. It was frustrating to get all the way to the check out tab just for it to be like, "you can't order this even though it's on the menu."I ended up ordering some non memorable meal and when we picked it up, my husband mentioned to them the hiccup with their online ordering system. Apparently, they're aware of it. The guy also assured us that our card would only be charged one time when it fully processed -- which was true.Thanks, but it still left a bitter taste that it happened in the first place to no fault of our own, but whatever. I'm not eating here again.

Ordered a burger and fries. Fries were cold. Its not that difficult for a cook to time the fries to be ready at same time burger is. Burger was ok. Might be awhile before we're back.

Service was great. My husband enjoyed his Philly Sandwhich. I ordered Buffalo Mac and it was not so good. Very much just watery cheese.

I've lived in Erie since 2018. Ever since the miner's tavern closed a few years back, I've been coming here five nights a week. I work on my computer and have a beer. I'm a regular, if there ever was one, and have met all the servers over the past many years. Tonight, I got some distressing news that Zack may no longer be working here. To be clear, I don't think this is a smart decision for the business or the community. He is, by a notable margin, the best server to have worked here -- easily the best in Erie (I was first served by him at another establishment). Further, I recently dined at Bruto (one of the first Michelin star recipients in Colorado) and I wouldn't hesitate to say that Zack's capacity for service, attunement to customer needs, and care for the overall functioning of the business, would be an appropriate fit for a place like that. Your people matter most in a small business -- don't lose this one.

Stumbled on this place and so very glad we did!! Great service, food was terrific and prices were good too. Highly recommend, hard to be disappointed!! They also have really nice outdoor seating. We will be going back forsure!

I got the pineapple burger and it was great cooked medium like I asked for. Husband got the Italian nachos and there were enough to have everybody snack on some. I would go back to this restaurant.
