If you don't know the place is there you'll miss it. We walked in and found the last table…read moreavailable. You can tell it was mostly full of locals. Server was very nice. Food took a while but the place was packed. I would say the food was good. Not great. Loved the French fries tho. The wall says made from scratch but it wasn't sadly. Saw a box on the counter from Sysco that was prepared pepper gravy. Plus you could tell there food we received was not made from scratch. Would we go back?? Not sure. It was definitely better than a Dennys.

I hadn't eaten here in probably 15 years, but a friend said their chicken fried steak was good. The…read morelast time I ate here, it felt very dark and dingy. Now it's bright and clean inside. The chicken fried steak was very good with white gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a toasted biscuit. I always toast my biscuits at home, but this was the first time a restaurant toasted my biscuit and it was great. Service was prompt and coffee refills were provided when needed. I've decided this is my go-to restaurant for comfort food. Since my first visit to Rustic Cafe a month ago, I have eaten there three more times. I tried the hamburger steak with grilled onions and mushrooms on my second visit. It was very good too, but the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese sides were only Lukewarm. I guess I could have sent them back, but the steak and brown gravy was hot enough. The mac and cheese was nothing to get excited about. On my next visit I tried the BLT on Texas toast. It seemed a bit small for the $8.99 price and the mayo tasted a little weird to me (I only use Best Foods mayo at home.) It did include plenty of thin crisp bacon, but I had trouble biting through the tomato slices since my top and bottom front teeth don't quite touch. On my last visit, I had the Rustic Cheeseburger (medium) with onion rings as a side. The 1/3 lb. burger was very good, and I thought the quantity and quality of the onion rings was excellent. Only after I got home and looked at my receipt did I realize that I'd been charged a separate $1.49 for onion rings that were supposed to be included as side with the burger. I didn't really mind the extra charge since they had given me so many onion rings and they were the best I've eaten in many years. On one visit, the waitress gave me a 10% senior discount that I've not received on any other visit, so I don't know if this is a policy or just at the discretion of the wait staff. I know others have complained about slow service, but I'm retired and always bring my crossword puzzles with me to work on while I'm waiting, so I've not really noticed if the service is slow. Rustic Cafe is not advertised as a "fast food" joint, so I am happy with the speed of the service. My servers have always been pleasant and accommodating to any of my requests. Breakfast was always my favorite meal, and I'm pleased to find a place that offers breakfast all day. That'll have to be my next visit though.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wines was one of the notable places we visited on our road trip…read more Even though it was a while ago, I remember it being a fun experience. They allowed us to sample their wines, which was a great way to explore the different varieties and find something we enjoyed. We ended up purchasing the Pistachio Rosé, which was a unique find. I liked that they offered something a little different from traditional wines, with a hint of pistachio flavor. It was a fun bottle to bring home as a reminder of our visit. They also had a selection of flavored oils and balsamic vinegars, and we were able to sample most of them before deciding on our favorites. We settled on the strawberry balsamic, along with the garlic and basil options. Being able to taste the different flavors made the experience more enjoyable and helped us choose products we actually wanted to take home. Overall, this was a memorable stop on our road trip. Between the wine tasting and the variety of oils and vinegars to sample, it was a unique experience that stood out among our travels. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area and enjoy discovering different wines and specialty food products.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine - Came for Pistachios, Left with Wine…read more We stopped here with a simple mission: grab a few bags of pistachios as gifts for friends back home. Easy, right? Well... not quite. The store itself is quaint and charming, filled with all kinds of temptations. Pistachios in every form, chocolates, wines, and gift options that make you rethink your original plan. You can taste a little of everything, which is both delightful and dangerous. Then we stepped out onto the patio with our pistachio ice cream, and wow... completely unexpected. The space is gorgeous. Calm, open, and the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. Honestly, if I lived nearby, I'd be planning celebrations here without a second thought. Somewhere between the views and the tasting, I tried their pistachio rosé. And yes, I had the same reaction, "wait... what?" But it worked. Different, pleasant, and surprisingly good. Good enough that I completely abandoned my pistachio gift plan and walked out with several bottles instead. A much more unique surprise. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the whole experience. No rush, no pressure, just genuine friendliness. We didn't have as much time as I would have liked, and that's probably the only downside. This is the kind of place where you want to linger longer, taste more, and just enjoy the moment. Came for pistachios. Left with wine and zero regrets.
