    5/5 Stopped in for an early dinner with a party of three around 5:15, and Rustic House absolutely delivered. The atmosphere was lively with plenty of people enjoying themselves, yet it never felt crowded. Comfortable seating, great décor, and TVs everywhere make it an awesome place to catch a game. The menu is huge, and everything we ordered was excellent. The standout was their $25 Wednesday and Saturday Steak and Lobster special, an incredible deal featuring an 8 ounce top sirloin and lobster tail, both cooked perfectly for all three of us. Their daily specials are outstanding too, including $30 Steak and King Crab on Mondays and Thursdays, St. Louis style ribs on Fridays, and 50% off all steaks on Sundays. The sides were just as delicious. Service was exceptional from everyone we encountered. We also signed up for their rewards and text program and instantly saved $40 off our bill. It was quick, easy, and they send updates on future specials and events. We have now visited three of their four locations, and every experience has been fantastic. Rustic House has become one of our favorite local spots, and we will definitely be back!

    We went for their Thursday special, steak and King crab. The crab legs were a bit dry, and seems like they had been sitting out for a while. The steak wasn't too bad, a little undercooked. We got what we paid for. Good attentive service. Lots of TVs all over the place showing various sports, news and music videos. Comfortable booth seating. Good selection of beers, including four local beers. I was asked if I wanted a cold glass with my bottled beer, which was very nice to have.

    May 17, 2026 try a new restaurant in Summerland area definitely five star at the rustic house. Riley was our server. She provided us with excellent customer service recommended the burgers and she was on the chart with the burger was excellent. Definitely need to swing back around on a Sunday to get 50% in New York State à la carte didn't order sides. Definitely recommend this place. It was great. The food was delicious tons of sporting events on a lot of TVs throughout the restaurant/bar and yes, it does have a sports bar vibe but nice and cozy non-smoking restaurant. Very relaxing enjoy our lunch and the atmosphere and the service hats off to the chefs, hostess and server great team. Thank you, Riley for providing us. Excellent customer service you went to ExtraMile. You have exceeded our expectations of rustic house. Keep up the great job that you're doing. We will be back in referring friends and family. Definitely a warm ambience and vibe. I forgot to mention they're playing great 70s and country music. Very relaxing.

    Solid breakfast. I've been to rustic many times for lunch and dinner. They always do well for those meals. Needless to say breakfast was impressive as well. My son had steak and eggs.? And I and my other son had the California breakfast burrito. It was all very delicious. The steak my son had was a mini filet! Great choice for breakfast.

    First time here! I was interested in trying the $25 steak and lobster special as they are a sister location to John Cutter. We walked in and I loved that there was ample seating. The staff was friendly and we were seated right away! The chairs that were for the smaller tables were not very solid. We sat down and sunk into the seats. That was not something that I liked. I like that the utensils are in a big mason jar so it didn't take up too much space on the table. I ordered my steak medium and it came back medium well and the server kind of argued with me but it was tender so I did t send it back. The side salad was big and the loaded potato was a bit overcooked. The lobster tail was good. We also had the hamburger but it did t have too much flavor . Maybe it was an off day for the cook. We may be back

    Sal H.

    The service was great! Drinks are made well with full flavors and a good pour. I had the steak and lobster special for $25 and it was tasty, but their medium rare was more like medium. My friend had the same order and his rare was medium well. We asked the waitress about it and she said the cook does go a little bit more on the heavier cook side. We didn't send them back as we didn't want it to affect our server. Either way, it was a good meal and we'll be back.

    Little late night dessert turned into partial dinner and dessert lol. We make sure we stop here every time we visit Vegas. The food specials are amazing. We always get great service. Good quality food. And the desserts are really good also. What we ordered: Steak and lobster Glazed salmon Loaded tater tots Carrot cake We had cocktails and appetizers earlier in the evening, so no one was that hungry. Everybody was wanting some dessert so my son reminded me about the carrot cake they have here. We arrived at 10:45 PM and it was pretty busy. Since they had the steak and lobster special, my kids decided to split a steak and I ate a lobster. My daughter-in-law got the salmon and asparagus. Nice six or 7 ounce lobster tail. We did upgrade the state to a ribeye. Still the best loaded tater tots around. Waitress was really friendly. Prices are great. I drink so much alcohol earlier at the other bar, no one seem to want to have cocktails. Great atmosphere, clean. Great service, great prices... Can't go wrong.

    Shelby is amazing!!! Just watch the tape ;) Seriously though, I love coming to Rustic House with my man. The food is amazing and the service is even better. All of the staff here is exceptional and they should be told that every single day. This place is a GEM. Steak and lobster special is bangin' too :) P.S. to Tim - just because you have a phone and a yelp account, doesn't mean you're right.

    My steak was overcooked and I let Cage know. He told me to the best of his knowledge my steak wasn't overcooked. I ordered medium rare. His service was made the whole experience reviewable enough to let y'all know- don't let Cage know your steak is overcooked. Rustic House on Eastern is amazing and their steak is cooked to perfection.

Lots of drink specials too. Lively environment with TVs. Was busier that night too. The philly cheesesteak wrap was perfect!

Eat two and you've had dinner. Drinks are $5, and the limited menu is limited to exactly what you need: a properly poured pint of Guinness and a sweet little cocktail called the Celtic Breeze. In a town charging $15 for coffee, our whole dinner-and-drinks ran less than fast food. Then there's Tony behind the bar -- funny, pours a Guinness with actual respect for the ritual, and clearly loves his job, which in Vegas is rarer than a free parking spot. He turned a cheap happy hour into one of the best stops of our trip. We came to Vegas the same week we ate at one of the Strip's overhyped "experience" restaurants. This unassuming Irish pub beat it in every category that matters -- food, drinks, atmosphere, humanity -- at literally a tenth of the price.

The happy hour is one of the best we've found in Vegas. We tried the shepherd's pie, fish and chips, beer cheese and bread, sausage rolls, and pastrami sliders--and everything was amazing. Pair that with a pint of Guinness, a shot of Jameson, or their happy hour punch drink, and it's an incredible deal for the quality of the food and the experience. But the service is what really made this place stand out. Tony has been fantastic. Attentive, funny, welcoming, and he has some seriously great Guinness-pouring skills--the man knows how to pour a proper pint! He took such good care of us that we made a point of spending time here every day of our trip. In fact, I'm writing this review while we're sitting on the Nine Fine Irishmen patio before leaving Vegas, and Tony is our server again! My husband is having the American breakfast, and I'm getting the shepherd's pie because... YUM. The amazing food and service we experienced during happy hour brought us back today, and we're happily paying full price for lunch because there was nowhere else we'd rather eat before leaving Vegas. Great food, great drinks, great patio, amazing service, and just a genuinely fun time. Tony, thank you for helping make our Vegas trip memorable for all the RIGHT reasons. We will absolutely be back!

We both had fish and chips on our brains, and I know Flowing Tide in the north has yummy fish and chips, so I was hoping this Vegas location would too.

This location was easy to find, Vegas is so easy to get around, everything is all laid out on a grid, with big throughfares every one mile. We just got on Trop as the locals call it, till we got to Decater and go a little bit and there we are. The place is open 24 hrs. like a lot of things in Vegas. Parking is easy and we go right in. Looking at the menu, I see prices are higher by a few bucks per item and I see more upscale items on the menu that we don't have in the north, like crab cakes! I saw the fish and chips, so that's what we got. I really don't care for coleslaw in general, so I got mine with double fries instead and my friend likes coleslaw and is cutting carbs, so she got double coleslaw and no fries. The order comes with 4 nice pieces of crispy deep fried fish, along with malt vinegar of course. The fish was super hot and tasty seasoned at the table with salt and malt vinegar. I was taught that was the British way to do fish and chips, tarter and catsup is the American way!

We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars).

At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.
