Updated location in Romeo in a blue house across the street from where they were located years ago. I've heard rumor that they closed down the Almont location. The food was delicious and the people were nonstop in and out of the place lots of choices to keep you satisfied from soup to salad sandwiches, dips, and all kinds of desserts.

The Rustic Bluebird Is a carry out only restaurant these days. We ordered and waited for food, and it was made quickly, in under 10 minutes. Some places suffer from having too many things on the menu. That doesn't seem to be a problem here: I have several different things we order, everything was high quality, and freshly prepared.I'm always on the lookout for burger alternatives. I mean, I love a properly prepared ground beef, but I am interested in lighter alternatives when possible. The black bean burger here is one of the best I've ever had. If I didn't know it wasn't beef, I would have been fooled. A generous amount of avocado is added, but they spread aïoli on both sides of the bun. That's too much of a good thing.I have no complaints whatsoever about the beef burger. This is how hamburgers should be: lean and beefy. And, this is a large patty.The grilled chicken wrap is massive, but a lot of that is due to the gigantic amount of lettuce stuffed inside it. There is enough here for a side salad. In fact, my wife took a lot of the lettuce out and made it into a normal sized wrap, and plans to have the lettuce as a salad later.The mac and cheese we ordered as a side was creamy... maybe too creamy. There seemed to be too much butter, but that might just be due to personal taste.The lobster bisque was thick...really thick. The flavor was robust and nicely seasoned, but it's strictly a purée (no bits of lobster, imitation or otherwise). It needs to be thinned out a bit, since it's almost a paste with this consistency.Creaminess seems to be a recurring theme here. I liked the taste of the coleslaw, but it was overly dressed.They don't have a fryer here, so sandwiches can be accompanied with a nice selection of different flavored chips. And, despite all my comments, I did enjoy the food here. I will definitely be back for the burgers, but I will want to try different sides.

The best sandwich shop in the area. Easily the best chicken salad in the metro Detroit area and the best local Rueben. I have yet to have a meal here that was anything short of excellent. Really hoping the Romeo location reopens. Gas prices make the trip to Almont less inviting. One oddity I wanted to note was that I've been effectively evangelizing this business for 5 years but have been seemingly blocked from their Facebook page. I have probably sent 50 people (probably understated) there for meals.

Great spot for a bite, and during the pandemic, they only provide delivery and carry out. The quality still was outstanding, and the staff greeting you at the front of the restaurant were super friendly and accommodating. We settled on the Big Pig and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese. Both of which were great. The serving sizes are large, so be prepared for leftovers. The flavors are great, and can't complain about the portions. This a great find in a small Michigan town. Check it out!

My boyfriend and I have had terrible issues with carry outs lately, due to the pandemic. We want to support local businesses during this difficult time and I know some restaurants have been severally understaffed and the food and service has reflected that. Our meal from The Rustic Bluebird was the complete opposite of that, thankfully! We were able to place our order over the phone and have our food delivered curbside. I ordered the Chicken Salad Salad and it was by far the best salad I have ever had (it's honestly the reason I am writing this review. I keep thinking about the salad!) All the ingredients were fresh and crisp. The portion was huge. So much chicken salad! The flavor was perfect and I loved the raspberry vinaigrette. The dried cherries and walnuts MADE the salad. I cannot wait to have it again soon. Would recommend The Rustic Bluebird to everyone that loves a good salad.

Located in downtown Romeo off the main strip is this wonderful cafe. I was introduced to this place bu a friend of mine who lives in town. She raves about the sandwiches and soups so I knew I had to try it out. This is my fifth time here and everything has been so delicious. Parking can be a pain when it's busy, but I'd you can't find street parking, there's parking available in the back of the building. The space isn't big but there's a few tables to sit at if you do have time to dine-in.I absolutely love this place. Some of the best sandwiches we've ever had. I sometimes call ahead and pick up the Roast Beef Sandwich and the Club sandwich to go and we paid it with their soup. The mushroom tarragon is also one of the best soups I've ever had in my life, it's no wonder it's usually sold out! The sandwiches are piled high, the bread is fresh, the dessert is divine (try the carrot cake cheesecake!) and the soups make you want to lick the bowl clean. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Great food, ive never been disappointed when ordering here. My favorite is their Maurice salad (huge portion with large chunks of turkey, ham, chicken, olive, gherkin pickles and hard boiled egg topped with Maurice dressing) Paired with their daily soups it's one of my favorite meals. You get huge portions and everything always tastes fresh. I always end up adding on something else when I go in to pick up my order; whether it be one of their huge brownies or a piece of cake ive never had leftovers.

The Rustic Bluebird was just fair for me. However, my wife liked them a lot. This place is no longer in Romeo probably because many other people felt like me. But they are still in Almont if you want to make the drive.
