    Mary and I stopped in for lunch today, this place has the look and feel of an Iconic burger joint. We ordered regular cheese burgers, onion rings and a soft drink. The bun on the burger was lightly toasted, soft and fresh, the lettuce crunch, cheese was melting on a hot burger, tasty sauce. The onion were crunchy on the out side, just done on the inside, delicious.

    Old fashion drive through ( but we ate at the picnic tables) . We ordered deluxe dbl meat with cheese and chicken burger meal. Fun stop!

    We ordered the Rusty burger and fries. The burger is not as flavorful as some but more flavorsome than others. This local favorite will not leave you wanting for more as it is packed with plenty of meat and fixings. As with most burger places they could have a much better product by just adding a shake or two of a pepper or spice blend to the meat after cooking. Maybe we should all start bringing our own. The Rusty is very close to great - just missing that little something.

    Large swirl ice cream!

    After a Veterans Day walking through Cashmere, exploring Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee, and driving through the Wenatchee Valley area my aunt, my uncle, and I came to Rusty's Drive-In for lunch. We each got a large soft serve swirl (vanilla and chocolate) ice cream. They were even offering a discount for Veterans, so we got a deal on the ice cream since my uncle is a Veteran (United States Marine Corps). We chose to take the drive-thru to place our order. The ordering was quick and the wait brief. The worker we interacted with was kind and we got our ice cream and headed to a nearby parking lot to park the car and people watch as we ate the ice cream. Normally I do not find ice cream filling enough to be a meal. But I have a soft spot for soft serve ice cream and the servings were a lot. By the end of eating my bowl of ice cream my belly was full and happy. Flavor wise, neither the vanilla nor the chocolate were overpowering. The ice cream itself was smooth and not watery/icy as some soft serve ice cream can be. Fun place to stop for ice cream near my aunt and uncle's place in Cashmere.

    Not terrible, but not amazing either. It's a decent burger for the area. Remember this place is not speedy...like at all. They cook to order so it's fresh. I would give em a shot. I was disappointed because I wanted a hot dog and Mac n cheese balls and they were out of both. The guy working was absolutely pleasant and very helpful. He didn't rush us while ordering which is always nice.

    Every year we head over the mountains in the summer to go camping, and every year, we stop at Rustys. My go to growing up we're the pizza pockets. Me and all my cousins all got the same thing, and we loved it. Now, as adults, we get the junior rusty burger.... and a pizza pocket to go. Haha. My teen decided to get the four patty burger this summer and it was massive! But, he wanted to give it a shot. Also worth mention are the Mac and cheese nuggets. I love them! The kids love them! Finish it off with a root beer shake! You will have a wait, especially on summer weekends. You will wait an hour for your food. So, go to the back lawn and find a table and enjoy the shade. Most of the staff are local teens, so they can be hit or miss with attitude, but it's never anything terrible. Rustys has been, and always will be our family camping staple.

Tonight, the Winter Olympics from Milan Italy were the topic, but my son and I were more interested in having dinner. He eats here often and recommended their Smashburger (see the pic). Nothing about them was smashed--they were humongous burgers--well worth the price, with all the garnishes, and fries. Seriously, you can't leave here hungry! Most of the menu is café and backyard barbecue type food, but the 12 ounce ribeye with a dinner salad and a loaded baked potato really stands out. I posted their current menu, 2/18/26. I'm impressed with the seating-- all solid wood tables and wrap-around chairs with armrests--very comfortable, especially if you're watching the TV for an extended time. One combo-waitress-bartender handled 20 patrons effortlessly--service with a smile! And of course there is a full-service bar in the main salon with a pool table, darts and gaming tables on the side, and lots of offstreet parking. Four stars for sure, maybe five!

Huge portions of fish dipped in a light, airy batter. The rest of our party got burgers and highly recommended the truffle fries.

Honestly, if your establishment holds 10 or 100 people, the staff and kitchen should be able to manage that number. We saw one table actually leave after waiting longer than us without their food because they had somewhere else to be. Not great. Once the food finally arrived we were so hungry that I'm certain anything would have tasted good. We didn't complain or ask but they did remove one soda from the tab. It's a cute place with a decent menu but I'm on the fence about bothering to give them another try.
