    We've been coming to Havasu for years and never stopped in. Bot have we been missing out! Amazing good food with healthy portions and smoked meats. The store has a cool vibe to it, very clean. Anne was our server and she was the sweetest ever, we will def be coming back and asking for her station. I had a BLT on croissant with ginormous onion rings that were battered so good. My husband had the Reuben and loved it.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict

    Would highly recommend this place! Just stumbled upon it by accident. The service was spot on and the food was excellent! Very clean and comfortable place. We could tell it was popular due to the full parking lot. They serve breakfast and lunch only. Chatted with the owner, Tim. Very friendly and informative. He smokes and ages all his meat . We will definitely be back for lunch sometime soon!

    I haven't been here in a long time. Now I remember why it's the BEST BREAKFAST in Havasu. I didn't know that there was smoked BBQ on the menu. I got the pulled pork eggs, Benedict and it was awesome. WE WILL BE BACK SOON! Service was 5 stars too.

    I went there for the second time in my life, and they deserve the title "Best Sandwiches in Lake Havasu City"! The food was incredibly rich and tasty. I got their BLT w/ wheat and sweet potato waffle fries, and in 10 minutes, the BLT and sweet potato fries were in a better place now. The service was super fast. We were seated immediately, the waiters were super kind and hasty to serve my meal, and the drink was served to me within 3 minutes. Ambiance was super classic-diner feeling. I got a booth this time, and like their counter seats, they were comfortable. The outside temp was around 105-ish, so I am glad the AC was nearby my seat. Coming back, definitely!

    Amazing breakfast and it hit the spot . Great hearty breakfast. Eggs and hash browns, wheat toast, biscuits and gravy. Great coffee. We loved it. Staff friendly, quick and straight to the point. I loved Rusty's. We felt so comfortable and the prices are great. Gave us a military discount. Awesome.

    Consistently good food. Great service and a clean atmosphere. For breakfast single and have them double it. They get you of the drinks and add-ons. We shall return. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

    Atmosphere was really nice. Small town diner feel that backed it up with great food. I had the corned beef hash and was totally impressed. We will be back when in Havasu!

    Tried this little spot in the center of havasu, there's was plenty of parking for a Friday morning…read moreand were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. There's a little coffee shop in the restaurant itself which is nice if you want something different to drink! Waitress was very friendly bringing waters and taking our order right away. Our food came out surprisingly quick and I was pleasantly surprised! The build your own omelette is around $11.95 with each ingredient added .95; I got bacon, mushrooms, feta, and sun dried tomatoes and it was a fantastic breakfast. Big portion and you can get fruit, cottage cheese or has browns as your side plus 2 pieces of toast with a slice of melon. Well worth $15 and it tasted great! The 'world famous' pancakes were good but nothing extraordinary about them, fluffy and a solid pancake for $15 you get 2 big pancakes a sausage patty or bacon to choose and eggs. Pretty good. I would come back but instead of pancakes we would try something different that's a house special

The place got busy fast but our server was friendly and attentive for the whole meal. I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict and it was really great, but beware lots of sauce which I liked though. It was a tad on the sweeter/more lemony side but still good. The group ordered lots of things - omelets, french toast, pancakes - and all were tasty. If we're in the area again, I'd definitely visit again.

From the moment we were seated, we were ignored while every other table around us was greeted, served, checked on, and treated warmly. To make matters worse, the overall ambience felt dirty and poorly maintained, which immediately gave a bad first impression. Our server, Reena/Rina, never introduced herself and never properly attended to our table. I was left with an empty coffee cup for most of the visit. At one point, our friend had to flag her down and ask for a refill, and even then she initially ignored him. She walked around with a pot of coffee topping off every table but ours. My husband received an orange juice and water early on, but once those were gone, neither drink was ever refilled. Meanwhile, every surrounding table received attentive service--drink refills, condiments, check-ins, and everything they needed while waiting for their meals. We were there for about an hour and never received food. Not once did anyone apologize for the delay, acknowledge that we had been waiting, or offer any explanation. I listened to her laugh with other tables, calling them by name, apologizing for the wait. It was so uncomfortable. I felt extremely awkward. What made this especially upsetting was how singled out we felt. It genuinely seemed as though we were being intentionally avoided while everyone else was treated normally. I have never felt discriminated against in a restaurant until this experience. As visitors to the area, it also left us wondering whether tourists are treated differently. When we finally got up and left, the server watched us walk out the door and said nothing. This was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. No guests should be made to feel ignored, unwelcome, or targeted. A manager or owner should reach out and address how this happened, because no customer should leave feeling this way. AWFUL server!!!!!

We know that a large, excited group can be a lot for a server. Several people in our party currently work or have worked as servers, so we really do try to be understanding and tip accordingly. First, the good: the food was wonderful! Everything was cooked perfectly, and every person in our party was happy with what they ordered. The hostess and the other staff members we interacted with were also wonderful and incredibly helpful. The food itself was definitely a highlight of our brunch! One thing we were surprised by was that there was no drink menu at all. There weren't any drinks listed on the menu, so we had no idea what beverages were available or what we could order. Especially for Sunday brunch, having some kind of drink section or separate drink menu would have been really helpful. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was our server, Debbie. From our first interaction, it felt very clear that she was unhappy about having our table. When she first came over, we let her know that we would like separate checks. We completely understand that splitting a table of ten can mean a little extra work, but with the automated system being used, we didn't think it was an unreasonable request. Debbie's immediate response was to roll her eyes and sigh, which set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the meal. There were several issues after that. One person ordered a regular soda and was brought a diet (but was too nice to correct the mistake). Another asked for her soda in a to-go cup and Debbie laughed at her. Someone else ordered a coffee, and after everyone else's drinks had arrived, hers still hadn't. She asked about it again, but it ultimately wasn't brought out until our food had started arriving and the hostess stepped in and brought it to her. After we finished eating, we immediately asked for our checks. We then waited about 10 minutes before asking for our checks again. When they still hadn't arrived, we had to ask again and the hostess went to check on them for us. When Debbie finally brought them over, she rolled her eyes at us again and said, "I was working on them!" One of the checks appeared to be incorrect, so someone in our party politely asked for clarification. Debbie took the receipt, crumpled it up, said, "That's not yours," and walked away. We were honestly stunned. It was the check that had been brought to our table, so there was no way for us to know that it wasn't ours without asking. What makes the experience particularly disappointing is that our group is very aware that we can be a little loud and rowdy when we're together. That's actually why we make such a point of being respectful to our servers and tipping generously. It's a fun tradition in our friend group for each person to tip a good amount (sometimes $20+) on their individual check when we go out together for good service. Several of us have worked in the service industry, so we know that a table of ten can be a lot, and we like showing our appreciation. We absolutely don't expect special treatment because of that, but it was disappointing to feel like we were an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. Overall, the brunch food was fantastic, and the hostess was wonderful. Unfortunately, Debbie's service was consistently unfriendly and dismissive, and it put a pretty big damper on what otherwise would have been a wonderful Sunday brunch celebrating our friend. We will definitely choose a different brunch spot next time.
