The Rusty Knot

I understand this is a beloved spot in Purcell, but they are struggling! We had dinner there last night. It was our first time in and there was no one to greet us. We stood there for at least 2 minutes before an employee walked by and said we could sit anywhere. Ok, we found a table. Sat for a few more minutes before a server arrived with menus and took our drink orders. We were looking at the menu and it's not clear what you get with your selected item. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. I wasn't aware it came with fries. But surprise! It did and they were weird. My friend ordered. The chicken fried steak and was told it came with sides. That was not stated anywhere on the menu, so she scrambled and made her choices on the fly. We did enjoy the fried pickles and fried "cheese curds". The quotation marks are because true cheese curds are cheddar. These were definitely mozzarella. My friend is from Wisconsin, so we were sad to see mozzarella, but they were good just not what we expected. We sat in the room that you walk into instead of the room with the bar. All I can say is it was eclectic. Boho meets a longhorn cow. Pick a theme. Will I try again? I don't know. I know they are struggling and would like to support them but they need to look at their menu and hostess/service.

Dont eat here on your lunchbreak. You will never make it back to work in time. It took awhile to place my order and forever to get my food. Only 1 waitress working between 2 rooms at of tables. Food was good though, if you can wait for it.

I can be very lonely living the vegetarian life in Oklahoma, but the Rusty Knot makes it a little easier. I always order the Rusty Chicken Salad without the chicken. It's a HUGE plate of lettuce with strawberries, pineapple, feta and pecans. Good stuff. They have good appetizers but the majority of them are deep fried which is not so great. I have to admit, though, their fried pickles are to die for. I was disappointed to bite into a spring roll and discover that there was chicken inside, which is NOT listed as such on the menu. They need to fix that.It would also be awesome if they offered a veggie patty option so we could enjoy veggie burgers along with the meat eating crowd...but noooooooo! Service is always excellent with very polite servers. Cocktails tend to be on the sweet side.Really enjoying this place overall. I do recommend it.

This place has a cardboard cut out of Donald Trump choking Hillary Clinton down in the bar!!! lol of course I love it!!

I really like this place. Overall, I have not been impressed with food in Purcell, but I've eaten here twice and loved it both times.My friend ordered the Knotty Chicken Salad, which is what I ordered last time. It is described as a lightly seasoned and grilled chicken breast with mixed greens, strawberries, candied pecans, sunflower seeds, pineapple, feta cheese and served with our signature champagne vinaigrette. Yes, it is every bit as delicious as it sounds.Today I ordered "WHAT THE DUCK? Wings" This is a pound of duck wings tossed in their homemade apricot honey mustard. My word. The. Best. Wings. Ever. My friend had one and she commented they were moister than chicken wings. And they are, but they aren't as greasy as duck breast.

This place was good a few years ago. Good food, service and vibe. It has gone down hill and now you don't know when it will be open. Very disappointed with how this place turned out.

I personally didn't think much of this food and service is very slow due to lack of help

The food and service were excellent! We both really enjoyed our meals. I ordered the Grilled Chicken and my husband had the Salmon.

Excellent food. Any of their salads are just amazing! If you want good steak, theirs is the best!! Queso is top notch!

The food was good, made fresh. I had the chicken quesadilla and my husband had the chicken fried steak. We both agreed that it was good, but nothing just blew us away. Everything was reasonably priced and I would come again if we wanted to eat somewhere close to home.
