Wait staff was very pleasant and place every table had plenty of ambient light. Got their smash burger and, first things first, the French fries were surprisingly good. Whatever they did to them there are hot from fryer and perfectly seasoned. See some salt crystals on them and don't know if do anything else but the flavor is amazing. Attention to detail is very nice. The paper lining on food basket was surprising. Found out today i might not be a fan of smash burgers. While it's good much prefer the juicy burger rather than crispy bites of meat. It still had all the great flavor profiles worthy of a high rating though it was a bit salty. Overall a very nice place to spend my time after dropping my main in ballot in the mail. Definitely recommend.

The Waite staff is fine and friendly, no issues there. The problem is the meal. The salads were fresh and really good. I ordered the teriyaki steak and my wife got the short ribs. Both of us got loaded potatoes and the veggies. Veggies were hot but like mush. I'm guessing Birds Eye frozen from a bag. No bueno. The loaded potatoes were lukewarm. The terryaki state was okay since you can hide flavors with the sauce. My wife's plate only varied with her choice of ribs that were done but dry. Overall it was quite underwhelming. I've been here many times (breakfast mostly) and before when it was Dutch mothers. Hate to say it, but it was poorly executed and a dismal experience. Sorry, rustlers, ya need to improve.

The shocking and most pleasant surprise was the deluxe burger for $5.49 on the menu. It came with French fries for $2 extra and was a lot of food!! I got the 2 eggs, 2 sausage, and hashbrowns with a slice of gluten-free bread! For under $10... The coffee was delicious and came in cool mugs from all over. Admittedly, I've come from San Francisco, where a typical brunch would be a minimum of $50. Our bill came to $22.27!! There was only one server, and the place was relatively small, but at 10 am on a Tuesday, it was hoppin. This place is all at once nostalgic and comforting. The other customers were obviously regulars, the seating was ample, and they take cc and cash. I Highly recommend!

A local favorite, a little bit off the beaten path, but worse looking for it. Very friendly and timely service, really good food, and a great menu that everybody will find something on that they like. If you're vegan, that last comment may be inaccurate ;-). You gotta try the milkshakes, this reminds me of what I was used to growing up at some of the great family restaurants in the 1970s. Outstanding! The interior of the restaurant is decorated with an eclectic Western theme and your eyes will never get tired of looking for all the details. Our granddaughter loved it! And so did the grandparents and my dad. We'll be back.

The restaurant was impeccably clean and nicely decorated although a bit dated. Service was fast and friendly although my request for ranch dressing for my fries somehow got translated to tartar sauce... I wasn't upset though because I also like tartar sauce on my fries. The food was fine, a Clubhouse sandwich and a Rueben. The Rueben could have used more corned beef and less sauerkraut in my opinion. Both had huge piles of fries. I think instead of so many fries they could give the plate a nice crunchy pickle. The Clubhouse was very large but again the meat portions were lacking. No real complaints, only a couple suggestions. I think we'll be back. There are more items on the menu that we want to try.

After both tables emptied a single person came in and sat down--he didn't use a menu so he appeared to be a regular. We ordered one salmon dip appetizer which tasted good but was mostly cheese. The disappointment came with both our entrees. The Blazing BBQ Burger patty was overcooked and dry--no pink inside--and not a drop of juice. The BBQ sauce and Thousand Island-type dressing on the top bun did not help the dryness. The flavors of the jalapeño bacon, ghost pepper cheese chile relleno and BBQ sauce were a good choice. Overall the burger was just OK. Never ordering this again. The second entrée was a French Dip. A good portion of beef and a plentiful amount of au jus. The French Fries for both entrees were the bomb. We will come back again to try again.
