Your typical bar food in the heart of Blue Mountain's village! Many options to dine in at Blue Mountain's village but this one is the closest to the main lift so of course, we made our way here. Staff are super friendly and nice. our server checked up on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. It's your typical bar food you can expect but at a slightly higher price range since it's at a tourist spot. Understandable and I don't mind. Started off with a caesar 10/10 - Really hit the spot for us. Came with a full stalk of celery which was huge! Half a pepperoni stick, which is a bit odd they took the time to cut it in half, but I guess to cut costs this way. Rimmed and seasoned perfectly. Would recommend. French onion soup 7/10 - Was hearty and warm after a morning of snowboarding in the cold so this was a good option. The grilled cheese sandwich however looked very sad and tasted just as sad (haha). American cheddar cheese on a single slice of bread. Chicken fingers and sweet potato fries 8/10 - Definitely on the smaller side in terms of portion size, Upgraded to be sweet potato fries which was the best decision! Nothing too special about this but your standard chicken fingers. Wings 7/10 - Only one flavour available, bbq. Came with veggie sticks. Nothing remarkable but a good sharing option. Nachos 8/10 - Always the best to share for the table. Cheesy, crispy and hits the spot. Additional sauces were on the side so that it wouldn't get the chips soggy - nice! read more

Came with a large party, but it was during low season, so not many patrons around. Service was slow and pitiful, it took a while for us to get our waitress' attention and items came with errors. Cheese burger - Burger was the standard burger with an okay patty. Patty was cooked through, otherwise it was nothing special. Fries were quite disappointing as they were not crispy. Would not recommend. Roast beef sandwich - Roast beef was slightly dry and bread over toasted. The dipping sauce saved the day add flavour and moisture. The fries were meh. Nice to try. Would not come back. Food and service was not great. Drinks were apparently not good either... read more

We looked for places to have the NYE and this one came always on top of places to go... Once we arrived to the village we paid them a visit to see how good they were. The section of wine and whiskey is very limited and the food is average. The service we got from our sever was pretty good, she even suggested other place with a larger selection of spirits. read more

A nice restaurant with good ambiance and good selections of items in the menu. And yes, very friendly service. We had lunch in a weekend afternoon. We opted to seat inside. Nice interior. We had beef brisket, it was good, tender and medium moist. The serving size is quite generous. Had grilled salmon, it was nicely served, tastes about average. Overall, it's a good place for dinning in Blue Mountain read more

We had an absolutely amazing time tonight. Our server Jocelyn (sp?) was the best I've had in a long time. She was friendly, attentive and just overall an incredibly genuine person. I have to thank her for adding some books to my TBR list! And Steve- thank you for the great DJ mix you played, we loved it!! read more

Ambiance: Great music and vibes. We were seated right away while other places had an hour wait. Fairly large place. High tables and chairs. Food: Lots of Vegan bbq options which was great. Buffalo cauliflower: great! Tasty Cheeseburger: a little dry, there was minimal sauce in it. Mac n cheese: this was tasty! Has to ask for it to be a bit saucier as that first time it came around it was dry Turkey bbq: this was to be smoked for 12 hours. It wasnt too bad just dry. It came with a salad, cold bun and mac n cheese. I had to drench each bite with the sauces provided on the table. Over all, it wasnt too bad. read more

We got a seat right away when we arrived here which was good because we were hungry. I was craving onion rings as we got it and I was a little disappointed in the portion. For around $9, we got less than 10 rings which I felt like was a rip-off. I found the fish and chips to being OK, it was a smaller portion than I thought. Service was average. read more

My family and I went on a day trip in Blue Mountain and after looking at the menu, we decided on this restaurant. My sister and I both got the prawn tacos and subbed the fries they originally came with for side salads. Each of the three tacos had two prawns and we both really enjoyed the flavours and sauces on top. One small thing-the pickled red cabbage was a bit watery, making them a bit messy to eat and I wasn't really a huge fan of all the crispy shallots on top of my side salad. Although, we all got quite a bit of food for the price which was nice! The service was good; our waiter was nice & conversational, but tended to take off this mask while speaking to us which took off a few points and forgot about my other family members extra tartar sauce. read more

If this is "award winning bbq" then I'm moving here and starting a bbq restaurant. I've cooked better bbq in a crockpot than their advertisement of smoking their own meats. I couldn't taste anything smoked or anything charred. I honestly don't think they smoke their meats. At this point I would have to see it personally to believe it. I don't know where they want the award from but they are probably the only entry. Service was great though. read more

While waiting for the gondola to go up to the Agora Light path tour we stopped in for a beer and food. The kickin chicken sandwich was delicious! The smell of the chickin from inside the restaurant is amazing. The cauliflower bites were also very good! They were a huge portion good for sharing. That was plenty of food but I also got the poutine and that was too much food for the two of us. We sat outside at a fire table and really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was friendly and attentive. Get the chickin! read more

Such a tourist trap. So expensive but the food tasted so bad. I'm usually not a picky eater but this was just crap. Not even gonna bother describing what we had Cos everything was just terrible and poorly made. Service was so slow. Toilets were disgusting with poop everywhere. Giving the one star for the free popcorn they serve at the table and the decent drinks. Avoid if you are at blue mountain. read more

So we're famished and the first restaurant you come across is Rusty's. It's just right off where the run ends at the Village and it just is the most convenient out or all of them. So we walk sit at the bar, have a brew, order a shareable and wait for the rest of our crew to assemble. The restaurant is decorated in a lodge like atmosphere. I mean c'mon now, you're in the middle of nowhere land, so outdoorsy would be the theme. The bar wasn't massive, but we don't mind sitting right next to a couple of blokes and chat it out. 1664 blanc was the beverage of choice. Nice and citrusy French brew that hella refreshing. Our shareable, chicken wings. Yep not the best we've ever had, but still good. I don't really mind it,, it's beer drinking food. Anyways,, service was great,, our bartender was very nice and approachable. Our waiter when we got a table was very nice and the service was very prompt. They tended to us very well. Thank you very much Rusty's for an awesome experience! read more

TLDR: Mac and cheese was good, brisket was very disappointing - overcooked, tasteless and overly slathered with barbeque sauce. The dinner was very overpriced and the service was also pretty bad. I went here with a couple friends during a weekend ski-trip, being a BBQ lover and seeing all the banners displaying the "award-winning BBQ" I was pretty excited to try Rusty's out, but here we are with another 2-star review... I ordered the brisket dinner ($25). It was filling but it was far from great - in fact it was disappointing. The dinner came with a decent amount of brisket, mac n' cheese, a small dinner bun, coleslaw and fries. The only thing that was good, or even above average, was the mac and cheese. It was served on what looked like a cute little cast iron which kept it hot for the whole duration of the meal (nothing is worse than cold mac n cheese). It wasn't overbearingly cheesy or heavy but just right. The viscosity of the cheese was also great in that each piece of mac had a proportionate amount of cheese covering it. I would highly recommend this, and only this. I can't comment on the coleslaw (because I don't eat coleslaw), and the fries were mediocre at best, as they came in warm, indicating they've been sitting in the kitchen or fry basket for a while. The brisket was extremely disappointing. A pescatarian friend tried some out of curiosity and she nailed the texture of the brisket aptly - it was like fish. In fact it was akin to overcooked salmon that is soft upon bite but dry in that it becomes chewy afterwards. Where a brisket is supposed to be slow-cooked to a tenderness where it nearly melts in your mouth and breaks down without much effort, this brisket gave me a jaw workout. Worse from that, i couldn't even taste the actual brisket because it was slathered in so much barbeque sauce (presumably because the brisket was so dry) that it overwhelmed any other flavour that may have actually been present. There was nothing done right with the brisket and it was closer to a really bad pulled pork (that is chewy and tasteless) than anything else. read more

Good ribs. They fell of the bone but wasn't as smoked as I like them. I didn't smell the grill/smoker. I do not know how they were prepared. Our waitress was terrific. She was so friendly and helpful. I had the Half Rack of the MONSTER PORK SIDE RIBS (St. Louis cut with a honey-agave-chili glaze). The BBQ Platters are served with fresh sliced sourdough, 2 minute pickles, jacked up coleslaw, house made beans, pickled pepperoncini and potato salad. We came here around 4 pm for a really late lunch and it wasn't busy. The table next to us ordered the nachos or what looked like nachos and the serving was huge!! I had an enjoyable dining experience at Rusty's read more

Very very very overpriced for average at best bbq. Do not be fooled by the "award winning" signs. They are from many years ago. We got ribs and the Nashville hot chicken. The ribs were not tender and sauce was meh. The Nashville hot chicken - do not get. Tasted burnt and was dry. However portions were HUGE and service was very friendly. read more

Overall impressions Decent food and decent prices. Stick to the bbq options though. Prawn tacos Each order comes with 3 tacos, 1 prawn each. The prawns themselves were juicy and well seasoned. The toppings weren't my favourite - tasted like those at home taco kits (salsa tastes like it came straight from a Tostitos jar). Pulled pork plate Pork was really tender with a sweet and tangy bbq sauce. Not at all dry, and went well together with the side of pickles and slaw. The mac and cheese was on the dry side though, would not recommend them if you can substitute them out. read more

Came here with our friends recently for dinner during our stay at Blue Mountain Village. This was our 2nd visit and remembered our lunch here last time was pretty good. My girlfriend was hoping to get a pasta dish similar to her last visit but the menu didn't have any pasta selection which she was a bit disappointed. Maybe it was a lunch special last time. Both our friends ordered the cheeseburger which they both said it was pretty good. Keep in mind that the restaurant likes to add coleslaw and beans with the side of fries. We had the same sides on our dish which I might try changing next time. I'm not much for beans so I'm going to request next time to get more coleslaw instead of the beans (not sure if they would give more coleslaw?). My husband and I got the Smokehouse BBQ three meats for $32 to share - selected the BBQ sweet & spicy pork shoulder, smoked garlic brisket and BBQ chicken. This dish was delicious and the portions were generous. My husband really enjoyed this dish especially the pork shoulder which was very tender and juicy. If you have kids, there is a great selection on the kids' meal (I think it was $7 each). My daughter had the burger and I had a bite and it was delicious and our friends' son had the Mac & cheese and he says it was very yummy. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back when we come to Blue Mountain again. read more

Great experience and a wonderful way to relax after a long day of hitting the slopes. Good prices and good servers. Would recommend!

My family and I (party of 10) decided to eat here while walking around the Blue Mountain Village. We probably waited for 1/2 hour to be seated, but we were all seated together. The service was amazing, especially on a Friday night. Our drinks, appetizers and mains came all together and we didn't wait that long. The waitress even asked us if we wanted to split our bills which was greatly appreciated. It is typical pub food but the food was still good. I tried the chicken & waffles which were delicious! The place also got really busy by 9-10PM. Since you're eating in the village, the prices are obviously expected to be higher. read more

I had to download back my yelp account so that i could leave the most realistic review for this restaurant. I was initially suppose to leave a review through my google account however, I found that it was not making me do so. Due to a massive tourist attraction despite covid, we wanted to try Rusty's at blue. We waited and gave our phone number since there was a waiting time. We walked around nearby since it was a 15-20 min wait. When we got back expecting a text the lady had crossed our reservation despite the wait. It was an unpleasant conversation with the lady and told us that were was no point in arguing/ talking about the situation that got us upset (removing our reservation without any text) It was very rude. Do not come here. They were very vague and rude!!! read more

Great service! Excellent patio. Definitely go back and enjoy the food. A must go if in the village.

Awesome place to stop for lunch and/or après ski. Holy crap, the wings are good. I got the Chicken Wings (Naked style) with a Caesar salad TWICE - they were that good. The "fairy dust" they use on the wings is pretty amazing. In fact, I'm dreaming of those wings right now and it's only 10am. Hmm. And the Caesar salad was one of those really delicious ones... creamy wonderful garlicky heaven. My friend didn't like the Seafood Gumbo, she said it was really salty. My other friends liked the chilli, poutine and nachos a lot too. read more

Got two platters to share between my fiance's parents, fiance and I. The pork sausage was great with the smoking habanero sauce balanced with the coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The pulled pork was tender, moist, and flavourful. The only drawback is the price, but it's located right in the resort, so there is markup. I would definitely come back again when I'm at Blue Mountain and in the mood for BBQ. read more

Closest restaurant next to the hills. Walked in here for a quick meal. Boyfriend ordered chicken wings and it was raw. Tasted the bloodiness and the rubbery texture when chew on it. Server asked the supervisor/manager to spoke to is. She was not very friendly, no apologetic attitude. First thing she said when she walked over without looking at the wings was "the wings are absolutely cooked because we smoked them first then fried. So they're cooked twice and it wasn't raw." My boyfriend lost his appetite by the fact of tasting blood chewy raw meat texture and unhappy with the continuous explaination of how the wings were smoked before fried. She didn't ask if we want to switch to other dishes or cancel the order. All she did was kept explaining; more you explain more cover up it sounds. Perhaps smoked meat are cooked but the fact of us eating it uncomfortably matters. Either way, their prices aren't that cheap. Next time we would go to the pub or other restaurants. read more

I want to say, mediocre at best. Got to the restaurant and we were all absolutely starving after about a seven hour snowboarding day. This was one of the places that we have never been to when we went to Blue, so we wanted to try it out because everybody would rave about it. after being seated we ordered our appetizers; ordered the nachos which were absolutely amazing, and we ordered the mac & cheese, which was out of this world. We had a shareable platter for two people which included a few barbecue items, had the pulled pork, and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. All of these came with a side of fries, coleslaw, beans and this really dry bread. I would highly recommend to not get the pulled pork or the Philly cheesesteak sandwich or the beef brisket, it was alright in flavor, but it was very very dry. I'm not sure how the rest of the items on the menu were as the platter was our friends and it had quite a few items, they did mention the ribs were very good. If you're looking for a place to have a good dinner, I would not recommend this place, I would come here to have the appetizers because those did not disappoint. In total for four of us our bill was about $200. I recommend waiting driving out of blue Mountain Village and once you're in the town there is a ton of restaurants. read more

Dump!!! Dirty... old decor.. food is made and on your table in 3-4 minutes... tastes freezer burned and or microwaved. Management horrible... as a guest you are treated like your 1 in a trillion .. no care for customers to return. Stay away! Better places in the village read more

Classic bar on the base of a mountian. Great food, great experience. We have went there for dinner, for lunch. They have snowboard/skill holders outside. You can legitimately ride right up. They have a great selection of beer. Seating can sometimes be challenging, so see if you can book a reservation. read more

Terrible place to go, the service was patetic, food horrible. First and last time going there. Don't go there.

Our first time here and we are loving the place. We stopped by at this restaurant because it was a little closer to the rental place. My fiance had the usual fish n chips and I had the beef brikset platter. The fist n chips was ok, that was hard to mess up but the brisket was super dry and no seasoning at all. I had to put a lot of bbq sauce on to it to have a flavor. I do not recommend this. read more

We had a group of over 90 (yes, 90) people come in for a meal. The restaurant did an excellent job organizing the outing. We all selected our dishes ahead of time and when the group arrived, the food was brought out very promptly. Some people in the group who ordered appetizers had to wait a little bit longer, but I think its fair considering how much cooking was going on in the kitchen. As far as I know, there were no mixups and everybody was eventually fed. I had ordered the flying pig sandwhich but I forgot to take a picture of it because it was really good. I scoffed it down in nearly 5 minutes! The sandwhich was juicy and had many good components. Near the end, however, it became a little bit dry. It could have used a little bit more of that sauce all over the pulled pork. The bean, fries and coleslaw on the side finished the job and I was stuffed. Pictured below is the buffalo chicken sandwhich. It should give you a good idea of the portion sizes of the sandwhiches. This sandwhich consists of two breaded chicken breasts with buffalo sauce and the side dishes. I was told that it was also very good, but it may have been better without the breading. I guess we wont know if that is true unless we try it though! The servers did an excellent job and were kind while doing it. This is usually the case, but it is always worth making a mention regarding a restaurants service. Its important to let my fellow yelpers know when and/or where service is bad!!! Pricewise, its really alot more expensive than I would expect a bar/pub to be. This is the main reason why I am awarding it only 3 stars. Sandwhiches are around $20 for the most part which is a little bit steep. For 6 of us the price came to around $170 including gratuity. When considering the food we got and the atmosphere of the place (ie. A bar), I dont think this price is really justified. Overall, the experience here is not bad. I would definitely come back, but I would also like to see what else the village has to offer. read more

My work group came to Rusty's at Blue for lunch during one of our conference days in the village. We had a group of 15 and a tight, 1hr deadline to get all of us fed and back to the Conference Centre. I was a little concerned when we arrived and could only see 1 person working the bar and the tables, but surprisingly enough, we all were served promptly and within the hour! The gentleman waiting on us was super friendly and accommodating - full marks for service here. I ordered the Fish & Chips, and they were GREAT! I don't usually expect anything spectacular when I order F&C from a non-F&C place, but wow. Batter was crispy and the fish was tasty...the fries were pretty good too! There were no complaints from my group, everyone was very pleased with what they ordered (a variety of everything the menu has to offer). One thing to note is that the pulled pork sandwich is not saucy/messy like I am used to seeing...not a big deal, but good to know if you're a pulled pork fan! This place is a little pricey, but every place in this BMR village is...all part of the experience, I guess? :) read more

The only thing Rusty here is the food + service. You could not pay me to return to this establishment. 225 reviews on this website; this one being the absolute WORST experience yet. I dont know if it was because it was NYE or not, but this place absolutely sucked. As soon as we walked into this establishment we had problems. IT was so bad that I will have to use bullet points so I can dissect how crap this place was. -They dont seat parties of 10 or more (fine, we sat at 2 separate tables across the restaurant from each other) so much for hanging with friends. -Food took a century to come out, when it did it was wrong (after waiting what seemed like 2 hrs, 2 of the plates were the wrong order. A third plate, being 1lb of wings, was short 4 wings. How did we know? Because there was another order of 1lb wings at the table LOL. we asked the server, this was her response (I swear I cant make this up) "so I asked the kitchen, they must have made a mistake pouring them into the baskets, but my manager wont give you any more wings" LOL LIKE HOWWW CHEAP ARE U? wow. Let me just eat off my buddies plate cause you accidentally poured 4 wings more into his basket and made them a different flavour than the one I ordered. No thanks. -2 PLATES at the table, wrong order.. they were returned, but instead of placing the correct order into IMMEADIATE queue it took another 45 mins to get the correct food. Rather than let all the food go cold, we ate and shared some food with our friends eagerly waiting for their food. We almost said screw it, but our friends were dying of hunger. BTW, nothing done to compensate for the mistake. Not even a sorry from the waitress; she tried to blame the table. Pathetic. -we had a birthday @ the table, we told the waiter. she brought out a dollar store cupcake (2 bite) with a candle. THEY CHARGED US, funny enough the birthday girl, $1. Nothing says no class and cheap; then charging the birthday girl a $1 for your crap 2 bite cupcake lmaooo x_x Best part is she didnt even tell us. Just put it on the bill. (its not the $, its the principle) pair all of this ^ with the crap overpriced food; never again. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SANITY. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Id rather eat snow off the hills then come back here. read more

Fun atmosphere but some of the worst staff (not all ~ some were very nice). The bar was totally unprepared for a prepaid reservation which was never fully resolved or compensated. A girl in my party on the way out tried to take her water with her... yes, not allowed BUT after the bouncer was told it was water he suddenly smacked it out of her hand and into her face? The whole altercation was SO bizarre and he became extremely aggressive which only escalated things. He did not know how to deal with the situation and instead of being rational he snapped and became strangely and physically aggressive from smacking the water towards her face to pushing people who weren't being in anyway physical towards him. Dude needs to be fired. read more
