The Rustic

They must have changed cooks because the food here is amazing. The service is spectacular. We try to get back here often. Very friendly atmosphere.

Bar? Restaurant? Both?Great food. Cold beer. Service... well I believe it definitely depends on the time of day but it's always friendly. I honestly have tried several things on the menu here. Favorite is definitely the steak sandwich. It's a little pricey but worth it. Especially if one of your buddies is getting the tab. Stop in and check it out. Just make sure you follow the speed limit to get there!

The service team was very friendly, smiling and helpful the entire time we were in. There was quite a few people for a Saturday evening and it really does have the small town charm. It wasn't too loud, it was open seating and we got in right away as a party of 5. all I would say is bring a jacket because it got chilly!As for the food, the friend pickles were great. The boneless wings were really just chicken nuggets but they were tender and flavorful. The onion rings were a huge order so if you're getting that as an appetizer you don't need anything else! Unfortunately our Mac and cheese and and chicken fried chicken order came out cold which I think was a result of it getting busier the longer we were there so the server couldn't bring it out in time. The fried chicken was hot as well as the tenderloin. Highly recommend the tenderloin!

Drove from Omaha to check it out. Have to say I love the atmosphere. Very laid back, friendly service and great food. Jamie was our server and greeted us right away. Check on out often and refilled our drinks. Salads came right out and appetizer was followed. We had onion rings and you could tell they were hand breaded. Must try!! I had the shrimp dinner with hash browns. 13 pieces of med to large shrimp. Nice and crispy. Hash browns were a little greasy but I don't mind that. Hubby had the hamburger steak and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Nothing to exciting here but had a great flame broil to the steak. Over all I do recommend.

Nice place for food and drinks. Great onion rings!! Not a ton of tvs for sports but enough to watch a game without a big crowd

Good food locations is off the beaten path but it's worth it good local dive bar and restaurant. The service was amazing our server Jennifer was great jalapeño burger was good. When we are in town we always eat here.

We drove up to the Rustic from Omaha to try something new, and I'm glad we did. The restaurant was unpretentious and most importantly, clean. I ordered the jalapeno chicken sandwich which was really good. My husband liked his prime rib, and the baked potato was the biggest one we've ever seen! The service was great, too. We'll definitely try it again someday.

Our first time here and likely our last. Not because of bad service or overly bad food. Just really not worth the drive...The Good:The Jalapeño Burger was a 5 star for sure!!! My sweet potato fries were not bad either. Our waitress was polite when she did stop by. The Bad:For the place being half full the wait of almost 45 minutes for our food seemed a bit excessive. Our waitress was polite but I feel she's in the wrong business. She didn't seem very involved at all and didn't stop by our table again until it was time to pay - no water or tea refills either...My wife's walleye tasted bland and very greasy. The "best of Omaha" onion rings left much to be desired. They were undercooked, almost raw and also not much for flavor. The Ugly Truth: If you're on your way through Ft. Calhoun and are craving a good Jalapeño Burger (which isn't very spicy but very delicious) then it's worth pulling over and stopping in, other then that I would say pass it and find another place.The most fun part of our visit here was the "YelpWar" with Lauren R. while we waited for our food

Wanted to grab a bite to eat after visiting Fort Atkinson. The person at the fort recommended The Rustic if we liked burgers. She didn't steer us wrong. We shared a 1/2 pound burger and order of sweet potato fries. It was just the right amount of food to satisfy the both of us. Loved the "rustic" and local feel. Service was also good and friendly. The only thing missing were hamburger dill pickles.

The best country breakfast! Generous with their portion. Great service!We live neighboring state, and we drive there to have breakfast.
