The only thing keeping this place as a 3 star was our friendly waiter Daniel and the pretzel rolls/cauliflower apps. Everyone else and all the other food we had was worthless. My parents and I all got sick to our stomachs, feeling bogged down, overloaded with grease, and just gross. The chicken salad sandwich was uninspired and boring. The French dip sandwich (I don't remember what name they gave this on the menu) was just okay. That's it, just okay. And worst of all, the pastrami sandwich (55th Street on the menu) was just wrong. Overly buttered bread, sweet and rich cole slaw that was only on half of the sandwich, and honestly good pastrami meat. However, no spicy mustard flavor despite it being on the sandwich, which is disappointing and crucial! The flavor of butter/oil from the bread simply overwhelmed the sandwich, and the sweet/creamy slaw just really threw a wrench in the entire thing. The bistro fries came out lukewarm, and not a flavor that I prefer. Wish I just stuck to the apps. And did I already mention we all got sick? I want to give 1 star, but Daniel and the apps were worth an extra star of their own. We won't go back. It's for wine drinkers and people who enjoyed the original Rusteak (which I didn't care for either). One and done. read more

We met some friends here for brunch before heading over to do the new escape room at Escape Ventures. Our group ordered a mix of items off the brunch menu including the cheese board, edamame, chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries x2, burger, and steak sandwich. Everyone loved their entrees and the cheese board was so big we couldn't finish it. Our reservation was for right when the restaurant opened, so we probably didn't need to have one but staff was friendly and seated us at a nice table. The restaurant stayed pretty quiet for the first 45 minutes to an hour we were there but then started to get busier around noon. There was a slightly drop off in the level of service as things got busier and we waited awhile for our check. Everyone was friendly but I could tell the servers were stretched a little thin trying to keep up with everything. We plan to come back the next time we're over in the Winter Garden area! read more

We stopped here for dinner after picking someone up at the airport. We were pleasantly surprised with the restaurant. Service was excellent, food was amazing and so was my old-fashioned. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

My daughter and I stopped here for lunch after an appointment. It was not super busy but steady since it was lunchtime. We were greeted and asked and were seated outside on the patio. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the weather. We ordered a honey gin drink I forget the name that was really really good. Had a bowl of garlic Parmesan edamame which we shared, and it was perfect. We both had the same entrée. It was actually an appetizer. It was five or six Cristini breads with steak and blue cheese tomato, pickled onion and balsamic glaze. They were stacked high and were melt in your mouth delicious we could not even think about dessert as everything was so good and filling. Already thinking about going back for another plate of the same. read more

RusTeak - Interior - New American Near Me - Ocoee, Florida

I had been to the RusTeak in Thornton Park, but this was our first time going to the Ocoee location. Reservations can be made through Resy. I plugged in the address into my Apple Maps and when we got there...it had moved. LOL Fortunately, Yelp had the correct address and it wasn't too far away. The restaurant is now tucked into a new little plaza off Tomyn Blvd that I didn't even know existed. Thankfully, we still made it on time for our reservation. We were seated right away at a table in the center of their dining room area. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very modern. Our server Cindy was fantastic. She greeted us promptly and informed us that their Happy Hour was still going on (it lasts 'til 7 PM), so drinks and appetizers were 25% off. We ordered the Stracciatella Dip to start, along with cocktails. There's a generous portion of the creamy dip served with about six thumb-sized crostinis. Naturally, we asked for more of the tiny crostinis because there was so much dip left. Later, on the bill, I noticed a $1 charge. Not a huge deal, but...really? For dinner, I ordered the Italian Press sandwich with broccolini as my side. The sandwich was incredible: sliced prime rib, fire roasted peppers and onions, garlic horseradish aioli, and provolone, pressed on ciabatta, served with a side of red wine au jus for dipping. YUM! The broccolini was a bit disappointing, though. The stems were very thick. so they were very crunchy. I'm used to tender, narrow stems. My partner ordered the Smash Burger for his entrée and loved it. For his side, he went with the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. They were smaller than normal waffle fries and probably left in the fryer too long, so they ended up being very overcooked. Our server Cindy brought him mashed potatoes instead, and those were good. So, the entrees were delicious, but the sides not so much. And be sure to get there before 7PM to enjoy their Happy Hour. read more

RusTeak - Italian Press sandwich with broccolini - New American Near Me - Ocoee, Florida

I went with my dad on a Tuesday night. We did an early dinner, but was quite surprised the restaurant was still crowded on 6pm (must be because of happy hour). We did take advantage of that as I enjoyed a honey mezcal drink (a little under 10 dollars duringhappy hour), and squash flatbread (about 13 dollars during happy hour). The mazcal was smoky and flavorful as expected, and the honey provided the right amount of sweetness. And just the right amount of strength that kept buzzing lightly without the sting. The squash flatbread was wonderful with ample amounts of butternut squash , sprouts, pumpkin seeds, and cheeses with a hot honey drizzle. It had the right amount of sweetness. While it does have pork, they were nice to take it out from us. I then took the fresh catch blt (about 18 dollars), while my dad did the salmon (30 dollars). The fish was halibut, which was mild and moist enough. The lettuce and tomato was fresh, but the bacon was a bit too crispy for me. The spread had a kick, which surprised me a bit. I enjoyed the broccolini as the side, which looked sauteed with garlic. Healthy and delicious . My dad did enjoy his salmon, but said it was a bit dry. The service was nice and attentive, even when it was crowded during happy hour. The bathrooms were clean as well. While the atmosphere was more upscale than the neighborhood grill, we were still fine in casual clothes. We got lucky to find a parking spot close to the restaurant as it was pretty cold outside. I was glad my dad could try this restaurant with me. The food is still really good and the service was great. I am happy they use Resy as we were able to enjoy our credits. I will definitely come back for their great happy hour deals. Overall: A- read more

We went here for a friend's birthday. We had a great experience and lots of yummy food. I liked the kids menu, for a steak restaurant I would love to see a kids steak on the menu for the little ones that like steak too. Our server was friendly and helpful. The appetizers were good, I would definitely order the pretzel rolls again. My steak was cooked perfectly. Dessert was yummy! The bread pudding is a delicious treat. They even brought out a super cute display so we could sing to our friend for her birthday. read more

Chic restaurant in ocoee, with an additional location in Thornton Park. Been to both locations several times and safe to say I recommend. My favorite all time meal was the chophouse, which was recommended to me by my Pilates instructor, and she really knew what she was talking about. however I dont think they have it anymore but they have a few other sandwhiches that are comparable. The chicken sandwich is so juicy and well seasoned. Sometimes I come and eat the bar as my solo date night vibes. The drinks are fantastic and service is always good. The grilled shrimp appetizers never misses, the pork chop, divine. I like that the menu switches up every so often so you never tire of the options. During dry January I had them put my dr. Pepper in a old fashioned glass with a black cherry togive the illusion and they went along with my nonsense. Sometimes I truly just want a cute drink in w cute glasses and they will play along. No judgement. The bartender threw the orange peel in and it tickled me and my silliness. Genuinely a great collective. The ambiance is cute, classy and the energy is always exactly what im looking for. Places tend to fall off after time but this one just gets better over time. I recommend if you're on the west side looking for vibes and good food paired with great service. read more

RusTeak is at a perfect intersection of the 408, the 409, the 50, and the 429. If you're stuck in a crossroads of highways and traffic... just get off the beaten path and come over to RusTeak. I chose this place because I wanted to stop being held hostage by the traffic that day. I just said... "lets gooooooooooooooooooo!!!" and landed on this place. Beautiful. There is PLENTY of parking in front of this building without any of the Orlando chaos. Loved that. The Decor is pretty cool.. they took a pretty sterile space and tried to spruce it up a bit and give it a dose of pizzazz. I had a steak salad and while I wouldn't say that it was earthshattering in taste or price .... pretty moderate price wise.... It did the job... and I was starving and I feel like I mostly got my money's worth. As far as the experience? I sat at the bar so basically the bartender waited on me and he did a pretty good job considering I probably wasn't their normal local customer. Sometimes.. I feel like I have a sign on me that says.... "I'm not from here" read more

Came to Rusteak for a family dinner and it took closer to 30-40 minutes once we ordered for our food to finally come out to the table. Service was alright but you could tell they were extremely understaffed and trying their best. We ordered three of the Rusteak burgers for our table. Unfortunately mine was ordered medium rare and came out inedible well done. I sent it back and when my replacement burger came out the burger was correctly medium rare however the bacon was undercooked and soggy. The egg was also overcooked on the second burger but it was still edible. The other two burgers at the table came out perfect. The fries were crisp and delicious 10 out of 10. They had a wonderful seasoning and were honestly better than the burger. My mother ordered a southern gent salad which was delicious. It came with fresh grilled chicken served over mixed greens with edamame, tomato, corn, eggs, bacon, cucumber, and smoked Gouda with a honey mustard dressing. The Rusteak burger comes with one 8oz patty, provolone cheese, bacon, over medium egg, crispy potato strings, tomato, garlic cilantro, and a toasted brioche bun. The restaurant was casual and clean. I recommend making a reservation on weekends as it tends to get busy. Overall it's good to try and would definitely go back. read more

There are a ton of well run great restaurants in Orlando, don't waste your time here. The drinks were great. That's where the positives end. I am not sure how a restaurant serves a sliced steak that is so severely undercooked that it was raw when ordered as medium but that's the lack of caring about quality you can expect from RusTeak. When the steak finally came back after more cooking, the plate was so drenched in oil that it took an entire stack of napkins to blot the grease from the dish to make it barely edible. read more

A group of 6 of us visited for a coworkers birthday. I really loved the interior design. Many of the art pieces had a 3D effect on them, which was really eye-catching. I also liked the lighting. There were many different lighting features that brought an elegant yet industrial feel to the place. We had great service with Evan, who was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our table started with some appetizers. We ordered the pretzel rolls, tomato jam jar, and crab cakes. The pretzel rolls were great and paired nicely with the cheese and honey mustard. The tomato jam jar was a great savory spread. Unfortunately, the crab cakes were way too salty and had to be sent back. For my entrée, I ordered the birria burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was delicious and extremely filling. The sweet potato fries are a must order. They even brought out a brownie with vanilla ice cream to the birthday girl that was a show stopper. I look forward to visiting again! read more

Loved the bar for a cocktail before our dinner party arrived. Lots of custom cocktail combos to delight. Dinner menu options abound! So many great options. I chose the shrimp pasta dish. It wasn't too spicy but the shrimp was a little salty. My husband really liked his smash burger. He got the Brussel sprouts as a side. He said they were good but a lot of juiciness at the bottom of the bowl. I noticed that w the edamame we ordered as well. It had like crispy onions on it but the bottom of the bowl is kind of soupy and the texture becomes a bit mushy. The flavor was on point, I just didn't like how wet it was at the end. My last critique is really w the no money no problems cocktail. I enjoyed it but it comes with a honeycomb cereal garnish that I thought was adorable but apparently inedible lol my friend and I both were excited to eat it but dismayed to find it awfully stale. It was more funny than anything, I mean... I get it you don't eat most garnishes but just a word to the wise for anyone else excited to take a bite. We'll be back for sure read more

Ok! What a hidden gem. I had heard about this place from family, but never actually went. & the crazy part, it's literally in my backyard! I decided one day at a lunch with my boss that we should check this place out. We pulled into the busy parking lot and went inside. The hostess took quite a bit of time to seat us, but we figured they had a shorter amount of people during the lunch hour working. We were seated in the middle of the room, which had the best ambiance. Like when I say canvas avengers art and industrial/farmhouse feel, I loved it. I just wanted to go home and decorate my house that way! I ordered the fish BLT and my boss ordered the pork belly tacos. We were a little surprised that there was no "peanut allergy" warning on the chalkboard where the tacos were listed. She didn't have an allergy, but for someone who does - there were peanuts on it. The fish BLT was absolutely delicious. I literally finished every bite. I ordered the fries, too, and they were unreal. They were thin and well seasoned. I would definitely go back and try something else! Maybe even go during dinner or for a fancy date night. read more

The food was good as usual. I've seen recent negative reviews - for us the server was not very attentive. The appetizer and drinks came quickly. But our food took an hour to arrive. I would still go back. read more

The food is tasty. Most of the waiters are great, and it's a nice atmosphere. I have issues with spicy food and a lot of their dishes are spicy. I used to love their mussels, but they've changed the recipe and added Calabrian chili and that can't be modified is what I'm told. They used to also have seasonal flatbreads that were outrageously delicious! They've removed them from the menu. I'm sure I'll be back, the food choices are just limited for me. read more

We wanted to check out the new location in Ocoee. It's got a cool vibe and beautiful inside, but to me it felt like it was definitely trying to attract a younger crowd as more of a hangout-type place than a nice sit down restaurant. The Kung Pao cauliflower was delicious! Probably the best bite of the night. I thought for the price, though, we could have gotten a bit more. Each of us at the table only got to take about two bites. I ordered the lamb chops. The lamb was very flavorful, and quite a big portion. The mashed potatoes and veggies left something to be desired. My husband said the burger was a solid 4/5. My one big comment is regarding the service. There were maybe about 5 tables total in the whole restaurant but it took forever for someone to come greet us and even longer to get our food. We were starting to think they forgot about us with how long we had to wait. We had to flag a different server down to get drinks refills and check on us. It left me very disappointed. Not sure if I will make my way back here or not. The menu was a bit overpriced for all it offered. read more

What can I say, I've been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I'm looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn't. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I'm not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you'll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy. read more

Absolutely, tastes like gray! First the menu is doing too much, for instance, the manhattan had both bourbon and rye plus a cold foam? WHY?! I ordered the filet; was I given a filet? Now as a Chef and butcher, I have never seen a stringy filet. Which makes me think this may be printed meat. (For context, in grocery stores, they are required to tell you printed meat is being sold, however restaurants are not.) my husband ordered the steak frites.It was an unseasoned skirt steak with nearly chopped parsley, tomatoes, and side of mayonnaise. Menu read hanger steak Parmesan and parsley potato wedges with a chimichurri and a peppercorn aioli. This place is for people who ask for the salt and pepper. read more

What I got the kung pao cauliflower appetizer and also the maple bacon brussels (sans bacon). The Kung Pao Cauliflower was decent. It was on a bed of Arugula. There were a decent number of pieces of cauliflower for an appetizer. It was getting a little too sweet for me but I really enjoyed it. The brussels were also very good. I went with a group of people and I tried some RusTeak Chips which was a big on the salty side. The Edamame appetizers was the most surprising. it was drenched in garlic butter sauce and parmesan cheese. Def not what I expected, not sure if this was the way it should be or if it was a mistake. Environment New area, really nice looking - The bar area is right as you walk in. There is also outdoor seating available. Area is tucked away off maguire rd in a new development area. Niceness of the staff Super nice guy! The cups had a number of markings on it and then my fork still has some food scums on it but the server was quick to apologize and fix the issue. Food took a long time to arrive, not sure if it was the time I went... (2PM Saturday) or were they just low on staff. Dollar I thought it was expensive... but to be honest it may just be the norm... My KungPao was ~12$ and the premium side brussels were $8 Yes? Eh, I didn't find a lot of vegan friendly choices. I would like if they had indications on the various allergens and offered customization.. with having some vegan options read more

Nice little find. The place was inviting with nice decor and ambiance. We sat in the back room which had brighter lighting than the main dining area. If you have a small party it's a good room as it had a TV and door that closes off from rest of the restaurant. The menu had unique offerings which I really enjoyed; everything from keto to vegan options where dishes were made with different variations of styles and flavors. The kung pao cauliflower is a must. The having a meltdown was also very tasty. It came with a side and I chose the wedge salad which could have been a whole meal itself; very yummy. The drinks were great. Thoroughly enjoyed my old fashion. The service was ok, they were nice but they were a little slow. Place is very accommodating and welcoming for kids as well.

I was skeptical when I saw where this new RusTeak location is on a map, because it's pretty much a stealth business park, hidden in trees, off a side road, and RusTeak is in the back. And yet, just a week or so after opening it was packed at lunchtime, so they're doing something right. A lot of things, actually. First, the room is great. High ceilinged, trendy, with a great bar separate from the dining areas. The bar also opens to the outside via a counter, so lots of seating possibilities. The place just looks cooler than most Orlando restaurants. The cocktail menu is a great place to start exploring. I enjoyed my Rum and iced coffee concoction very much. There is also a pretty extensive and reasonably priced wine list. The menu is a single page, perhaps because they are still in a soft opening, but there is a nice variety. I loved my 55th Street sandwich, which was essentially a Reuben made with cole slaw. The smoked pastrami was wonderfully meaty and abundant. The half wedge salad that accompanied it was a bit odd. It was Romaine rather than iceberg, which is fine, but there was no dressing, just cheese crumbles and a drizzle of balsamic. The mushroom brie bisque was wonderfully rich and flavorful. As I said, they were busy, and there weren't a lot of servers, but they did a good job of keeping up, although it was never really clear who our server was, and I think they still have some communication issues to work out amongst them. But all in all this is a promising start, and just the kind of restaurant we need in this part of town. read more

We made a reservation for our daughter's birthday. The waiter was anything but attentive and suuupppeerrrrrr slow. On the reservation it asked if we were celebrating anything special and we indicated it was our daughter's birthday. Nothing was ever said or anything. The food is always great, but service seems lacking unless we sit at the bar. My son spilled an entire $11 beer all over my husband and instead of just replacing it, when we got our bill we were charged for the replacement beer. The hostess girls were in their own little world and out of three of them standing there when we left, none of them said anything like have a nice night. Little gestures go a long way and I'd hate for the service of this great restaurant ruin repeat customers. For two kids and two adults our bill was $190. At that price, I expect great service and food. This visit has really left a bad taste in my mouth. read more
