Parking screams dingy apartment parking, Really DARK inside.. like wow invest in lighting and not cheap lanterns on the table, it was cramped and hard to move around, also having a weird table setting under stairs kinda screams Harry Potter bedroom. Service I guess was okay.. can't blame callouts on long wait time. Food was nothing special, very generic, burger I got was dry, cheese wasnt very good, if there was supposed to be sauce on it, nothing. Fries I've had better, coleslaw a small 4oz dixie cup. I guess the doodle of the donkey with a huge butt in the menu was funny, but otherwise I wasn't impressed with this place. read more

Amsterdam staple place for a good burger. Nice and fast service and an American cowboy "rustic" aesthetic. Menu attached along with other photos. Also ask to sit upstairs it's really nice read more

Overrated Went for burgers at lunch time on a weekday a couple months back. Sat at the bar. The bartender/server (when she was there) wasn't very friendly. It wasn't busy either. I had been there during COVID when (no photos) signs were posted, wasn't impressed then either. Very average. Anyway, when you see a the burgers with and without the bun you'll see what I mean. The burgers were overcooked and dry. Needed a lot of ketchup and mayo. I can't have gluten so I asked for a lettuce bun. They don't have gluten free bread or pasta available. For $16 could you give me more lettuce than Wendy's? Also, I couldn't eat the smidge of coleslaw it came with as I accidentally learned had pineapple juice in it. I wasn't offered a substitute, just told not to eat it that if I were you. The fries were good. I'm not a fry person but I was so hungry from the puny burger I ate them all. Maybe they just seemed good because I was hungry. Very underwhelmed. Applebees is way better. read more

This place was a great find on our way back from the Adirondacks. The service was excellent with a super sweet waitress and quick food. Plus the food was excellent. My haddock sandwich was cooked perfectly and fresh. The batter was light and crispy. My husband's drunken meatloaf was flavorful and moist. The dipping sauce with the spiced fries was tangy and great change from your typical fry sauce. We liked the outdoor seating even though the road traffic was a little loud. We would totally stop here again. read more

They have large portions and the our waitress was so friendly. Lovely atmosphere with a large fireplace!

the food was excellent and plentiful. our waiter, James was friendly and attentive, as was the owner. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable and the building is spectacular! read more

The food was really pretty good but they had this weird proclamation on their tables. I think they can remove the "Buy American" from the list. See photo. read more

What a great find! First timers to this area and stumbled across this great place! Bread sticks are delish, fries are even better! Salads are fresh and delicious ! Buffalo wings were plump and tender with great sauces (we had buffalo hot). Cute inside, rustic as the name states and nice comfortable outdoor seating as well. Service was excellent as well!!! read more

Seafood bisque is amazing. Drinks are stout. Atmosphere is rustic and relaxed. Tiffany works the bar well.

The food is always good, and our favorite spot to eat is upstairs overlooking the crowds at the bar. Just a fun, cozy, welcoming environment that is always great to enjoy. read more

Good solid pub type food at fair prices. Never had a bad meal and service times are quicker than average- especially if you get there before the dinner crowd read more

Solid spot. Good service. Cold drinks. Very good pub style food. We sat outside and it was a very nice atmosphere. It also looks they might have band nights out back with a big area. I will be going back! read more

Wow. What an unassuming hidden gem. Stopped there while driving north, visually the place is captivating, incredible decoration and woodwork. Discretely large space. Sat at bar, staff super friendly. HiUGE memu, I. Got the meatloaf, wife got the Cobb salad with chicken. Both were awesome. They have specialty drinks, I saw a couple other plates like the beer battered haddock that looked incredible. I also really wanted to try the short rib grilled cheese. Also, very reasonably priced. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon while passing through. Fun, cute atmosphere. Bartender was very friendly and despite a huge rush of people at once, she was very prompt and attentive. Decent beer selection. Ordered wings and the fried chicken BLT. Sandwich was absolutely delicious. Bread was fresh. Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked. The wings were meaty, but the only minus for this place is that the wings were rubbery. Skin was not crispy at all. Good flavor, but texture was off putting. read more

Amazing! The food was decadent, came out super quick, and our waitress, Kristina, remembered everything we ordered without even writing it down! She was extremely accurate too, without even missing anything from our order. And the place in general is just beautiful. Sitting outside was a wonderful experience, but the inside is stunning as well. I've never seen a restaurant with two floors, and they did it well. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Food was good. Cool atmosphere. Only issue is the waitress never gave us the specials and that was exactly what I would have wanted. I heard her telling the table behind us as we were done eating. Will go again and make sure to ask the specials. I got a wrap and fries. My husband got a burger which he said was up there at the top of best burgers he's had out. read more

The food was only average. We ordered on our way to Sacandaga Lake and picked up to go. That was convenient. The garlic mashed were just okay. The fries were less than impressive. We ordered the turkey reuben, bacon burger, French dip and a chicken sandwich. It was good enough but we won't be ordering from there again. read more

Tried Rustic Loft a few days ago. Sat in the loft. Wait staff was extremely friendly. I ordered the Fire in the Loft burger. I was a little afraid of the ghost pepper cheese on the burger, but the waitress assured me it was spicy but not insanely hot. The burger was fabulous. Juicy, spicy, cooked to a perfect medium well. Also, the sweet potato waffle fries were terrific. They were crispy, which is often not the case with sweet potato fries. A really terrific meal. Highly recommended! read more

It's a good place and have been here a bunch of times. Tonight wasn't the best. Seated right away and ordered drinks and an appetizer. Placed our dinner order at the same time as well. Dinner salad came out too quick, before the appetizer even arrived. Dinner followed soon after and had to ask them to hold back our plates for a little while so we could enjoy the app. Felt rushed. read more

Been here a couple times; the service, food and atmosphere are awesome. Highly recommend!

Good food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Try it, you'll like it.

Great food, great service and so beautiful inside, great place to meet friends, I come here every year never disappointed!!!!

Open early week all year long (Tuesday 4pm) when other places that offer American food and drafts are not. We love the rustic vibes and friendly faces here -- bar upstairs open when busy. Outside smoking and fire pit when in season read more

Very good food and selection of beer, excellent service with friendly and nice servers.

This restuarant/pub is a little piece of charm with delicious food, fantastic staff and beautiful atmosphere!! Everyone should stop in and try something off their menu!! Dave the owner is a blast!! read more

I received a gift certificate from my mother who highly recommended this place! I called and made a reservation. While on the phone I was asked if there was a preference of where I wanted to sit. Not ever dining here before I asked what the options were I was told the "pit" which was downstairs in the bar area or upstairs which had a quieter atmosphere. I said well this is a long awaited date night for my husband and I (3 kids under 5) and would prefer quieter upstairs. We arrive for our reservation and were seated at the bar area. When I mentioned I asked to be upstairs she said I don't know what happened but it will be over an hour to get upstairs. We sat at the small table next to the bar. The atmosphere was loud and there was a large party down on the lower part of the "pit" area that was loud and obnoxious! I could barely hear my husband talk to me. Now onto the food. My seafood bisque was amazing. For my entree I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes as my husband ordered the fried haddock and fries "dirty". My husbands haddock was great. He didn't care for the fries but he prefers thicker cut fries. My meatloaf was so salty I couldn't even eat it and the mashed potatoes had a weird taste almost like they were mixed with fake. When our waitress finally came to check on us I told her about my complaints and she asked if I wanted something else but I said no thank you. By the time my new meal came my husband would be done and I was already annoyed with the loud party and environment from the bar, I just wanted a quiet dinner with my husband. We received our bill which had my entree at full price that I literally took 1 bite from. The manager? A women with blonde hair wearing a white shirt walking all around not ever once came over to apologize for anything! I am not Covid crazy but am Covid cautious and this establishment is far from Covid safe! There is no spacing in the bar area. Where we were seated I could of touched the person sitting at the bar as well as the people on the lower part. The manager? Women in white shirt had her mask down below her nose almost the entire time, even when my husband asked her for ketchup. All in all I very dissatisfied with this establishment and feel sorry that my mother wasted her hard earned money on a gift certificate for us. read more

This place is so cute! The first time we went, we sat up in the loft section (which involved a walk across a little bridge upstairs which was pretty cool if you ask me!) and it was super cozy! Really, this place isn't all that big so the whole place feels that way! I have also sat outside and they were nice enough to allow my mom's dog to join us as well. Service is typically really friendly and helpful. The last time we were in, I'm unsure if my boyfriend and I were just seated in a strange place or if the woman had a lot of tables, but we were less than impressed. After receiving our food, I waited for a refill of water so long that I drank his, too. And then still never got a refill! Not the service we have been used to. The food itself is delicious! Their wings are crispy, just the way I like them, and some of their menu items are super creative. My favorite is the burger but add the caramelized onion jam to it, which is on the menu for other items. They are always so accommodating with these requests (my mom once added the bacon aioli to her burger) which makes me oh so happy! My boyfriend is a huge fan of their lobster mac and cheese. He's got this thing about how much lobster there is in a lobster mac, and he has never had a bad thing to say here! All in all, this is one of our fave places to go! Tasty food, friendly service, and its an experience! read more

This is one of my favorite local restaurants with charming interior and friendly staff. The food is always great and will not break the bank. Place looks smaller from outside but has a cozy loft with lots of seating. Daily specials including Polish dish! You must check this place out and you will not be disappointed! read more

Over this weekend, My family and I went to this amazingly beautiful and cute spot! This place is absolutely beautiful and "rustic. It is a cozy spot, with a great ambiance! The food is absolutely delicious. I had the "Fire in the Loft" Burger. It was the perfect amount of spicy. My personal favorite part of the meal was the sweet potato waffle fries. They were delicious, just enough crisp and no grease what so ever. Above all, this was a great place to go, with super awesome service and a great vibe! read more

Review time kids!! (I'll keep this short) We hit this place while out running errands on a Friday night. This place is pretty cool, with two seating areas surrounding a center bar,all the walls are covered in old junk that one might see those two guys on American pickers over pay for. Meals were average and so was our service. Not bad but not great just average.. read more

We went on a whim, and we're so glad we did! Fun rustic atmosphere, full bar, excellent service, and fantastic food! Get something with the homemade bbq sauce because it's really something special - the owner was walking through so we were able to complement him on his sauce and request that he starts bottling it! Our camp is almost an hour away, but we will be back, and that's high praise considering the drive! read more

Went in a Thursday evening. Packed bar, packed tables, packed parking lot. Had a guitarist who also did music trivia later on for free tickets to an Amsterdam semi pro baseball game! Scored a couple of seats at the bar. 2/1 pint beers. Happy hour we had missed but still a good deal on shock top pints. Menu was large with many choices of salads, homestyle entrees, fried baskets, burgers, sandwiches, you name it, along with a handful of specials. We chose the hot roast beef sandwich . They make their own Roast beef, tender and expertly seasoned, a sure winner. Came with ff's and a side of delicious rich brown gravy for dipping. I had the bang shrimp basket. Breaded shrimp deep fried with ff's and coleslaw and a bang bang spicy dipping sauce. Very good! Bar was bustling and upstairs tables all full as well as the downstairs. Something tells me this place is a gold mine and the food is the draw. Try it and I know you'll go back time and time again. Warm rustic atmosphere. Bands out back on Saturdays under a pavilion. Amsterdam newest go to place in my opinion! Enjoy! read more

First time visit and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was great, food was as advertised. I asked for a substitution and the server quickly said she thought she could do that. Food came quickly, beer was cold, everything was cooked well. Check the menu. If you see something you like, give it a try. The dining area is downstairs and up in what appears to be an old converted smaller barn type building. I'd go back for sure. read more

Decided to give this place another chance when our go-to (Project 29 in Broadalbin) was closed over Labor Day weekend. We got a table in the upstairs loft, which was really cool. Our server was very friendly and prompt. This time the food is what was lacking, but only because the house salad was pretty boring (though the peppercorn dressing was A+) and the chicken tenders I ordered were of school cafeteria quality. I have had better chicken fingers at Friendly's and Red Robin, so these were a big disappointment. And the only IPA on draft was the same IPA they had on draft 14 months ago, so it seems they really aren't a craft beer destination. But the service was great and I know now not to order the chicken tenders again. read more

Love this place! So cozy - ambiance is everything! Really good food - tried just about everything on the menu, but HIGHLY suggest the seafood bisque. I love eating upstairs and overlooking the bar to watch the hustle and bustle of the patrons and waitstaff. Also love sitting by the fireplace in the colder months. Btw... waitstaff here are very accommodating. For a smaller place, there is TONS of room! They really pulled it off nicely! read more

Lunch here was terrific. Went with two other people. Everyone liked their choice of entree. Friend said the chicken sandwich was the best she ever had! Wait staff were very friendly and did an excellent job. Would def go back! read more

Great place, nice staff. Comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend to check it out. They have three screens at the bar and even play hockey games. That makes this girl happy. Eat the stuffed shrimp! read more
