Rusty's is a modern diner that's consistently busy, so expect a short wait--but we timed it just right and were seated right away. We visited as a party of three and had a smooth start to our meal. My husband ordered the bowl of chili. It was just average and could've used more cheese on top to really bring it together. I went with the croissant BLT. The bacon was a highlight--thick and perfectly crispy--but the croissant seemed a bit old and fell apart after the first bite. It was also heavy on the mayonnaise; a lighter hand would've made a big difference. My mother had the American Scramble and enjoyed it--it was tasty and packed with plenty of vegetables. Service was good overall, and the food came out quickly, which is always a plus. Rusty's delivers solid diner-style food with fast service, though a few tweaks could make some dishes shine a bit more. read more

This place is a gold mine!! The food is plentiful, hot and fresh. The service is spot on and the ambiance is like one of those old fashion diners but very clean and neat. The wait isn't that bad when you go on a Sunday morning. But boy is this place packed and the servers really hustle! This is the place to go for breakfast. Also lunch is great too. They serve both all day! read more

Service: quick. In and out. Ambiance: looks like a typical diner. Food: homemade and delicious. I would be surprised if anything was frozen in the back. Everything you want in a diner spot, all the grease, all the speed, all the food. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Rusty's Restaurant - Traditional Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Food was delicious and huge portions! Our waitress Christina is believe her name was, was on point never had to ask for refills or anything. The only thing I disliked and have never had happen to me before at any restaurant was that she asked us to step aside out of the booth because people were waiting for a table. We were waiting for 2 of our family members to come out of the restroom before leaving. Not a big deal just never had that happen to me. read more

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. read more

Rusty's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Be aware, the counter seating is NOT first come first serve here. Found out the hard way as the older lady hostess raised her voice at my wife and I from the hostess stand, saying Hello... HELLO! Basically calling us out in front of everyone, and acting very annoyed that we didn't know to wait to be seated at the counter. Shouldn't treat people that way. read more

Great service and great food! Always been friendly and kind. Diner atmosphere.. love it! Thank you!

Corned Beef & Hash was delicious!! Generous portions.... Service was a little slow but the food made up for it

The Bomb! Best in town. Cool modern take on a traditional diner. Great service, great food. Look no further and you haven't been, you are missing out. I recommend the burnt end brisket eggs Benedict. Their pancakes are amazing too. read more

Good food, great service at an average price. Was able to get a table for 7 plus a toddler right away which surprised me. Only downside was parking is very tight, especially if you're driving a crew cab truck. Old school diner type feel and vibe.... Will definitely go back when I'm in town. read more

Rusty's Restaurant - Turkey club with cheddar and fries, forgot my husbands - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Rusty's has the best breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches, always fresh, filling, and full of flavor. We definitely miss grabbing them at Human Bean, but being able to order takeout makes it just as easy and just as good. Consistently delicious and always worth it! read more

This is our new favorite breakfast spot in Lake Havasu! We are so impressed with the variety in the menu, but since we came during breakfast hours we ordered Sedona Omelette with a side of stacked pancakes & their Brisket and Eggs with a side of biscuit and gravy both were scrumptious and very tasty. If you like sweets, I highly recommend trying their sticky bun. It is the perfect ending to every meal and pairs really well with coffee. We came on a Monday and we were seated right away. Drinks came fast so as our server who was very nice and friendly. The atmosphere is a typical diner style. It is clean and well lighted. We will definitely be coming back to check out the other items on the menu. read more

Busy place but always worth the wait, excellent service and food is always consistent!!

Todays breakfast was good but i need to recommend that when an omelette is ordered cheese is expected. Very light cheese in my omelette which made it taste dry. i requested more cheese and it came back with a little more cheese but not what would be expected for an omelette. Service was wonderful. i will come back and try another item. read more

First, I would say that the hostess was outstanding with a smiling face and helpfulness. Our waitress was just ok. It took 5 minutes to even acknowledge us while walking by 4 different times. Other than that her service was average. We chose this restaurant specifically because they always serve an excellent Reuben sandwich but this time the c beef was shredded and tasted like it came from a can couldn't find the sauerkraut and the sauce was on one half of the sandwich and a plate. Was very disappointed. The photo is what it should look like in case Rusty's quality control personnel read this. read more

Rusty's Restaurant - An example of how a Rueben sandwich should look not what was served. Hoping the owners see the example. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Absolutely the last time. I keep trying but the food is always lukewarm to cold. Super nice people but I want a hot meal.

I got the Reuben sandwich. It was made with their homemade corned beef. It was really good. I got it with their tater tots. They were perfectly cooked. I've been her before and got breakfast. That was also good. So far I haven't had anything bad. And the service is really good. read more

Rusty's Restaurant - Reuben Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Love the food! Best breakfast restaurants if you wanna go to Lake Havasu. Would recommend.

This is the place to go for breakfast or brunch when in Havasu. I regret when we have gone anywhere else (like today). The food is always good. Sometimes they run out of food, but that just tells me that I need to wake up earlier. The servers are on top of things here. I love the lady at the front. The ambiance is great. I think they are affiliated with the pizza place that I love here too. read more

Very nice, clean and modern inside. We were happily greeted by everyone working. I like that they have large counter seating with many seats a available. Nice looking menu for breakfast and lunch. They are closed for dinner. Homemade corned beef hash, chicken fried steak and many other items. Great to see homemade corned beef. It was very good with over medium eggs and hollandaise sauce. $18 "After 8am" value breakfast was perfect for my wife. Excellent bacon, eggs, hash-browns and toast. $9 They also have BBQ brisket, pull pork, pork chops, steak etc. for higher end hungry eaters. Prices on the higher side but worth the quality of food. I highly recommend Rusty's! read more

I got out of Laughlin for part of the day and decided to have breakfast in Lake Havasu City. I had Rusty'sbookmarked and it was very eays to get to. A left of the main route (US 95) onto Kiowa, and then just one block to Rusty's. The place had a lot of customers and I got the last parking spot. I motioned to a server that I'd sit at the counter and she waved me down to the last seat where I had a view of almost the whole place--the Wild Bill Hickok seat. She brought me coffee and the menu and she kept the coffee flowing. I am a fan of Benedicts so I had to order the Beach Benedict. The menu describes it as: Avocado, tomatoes, sautéed spinach, poached eggs on an English muffin topped with our house made hollandaise and diced tomatoes. It was a very good Benny and somewhat different than others I've had. My server was a wonderfully delightful person. She took my phone for me and got some shots of wall art that I couldn't get to. In short order, I had a very good breakfast and I was on my way to the Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge to do some exploring and and experiencing nature. This is a super place for breakfast in Havasu City! read more

Arrived here for breakfast and got our name on the list. Waited about 10 mins which is better than average. It's an upscale diner kind of place. Hubby ordered their corn beef hash with horseradish hollandaise sauce. I got the pulled pork Benny. Both were good, but in my opinion average food. Could not taste any horseradish in the corn beef hash. Not sure what the sauce on my Benny was but was ok. We went here because of the rave reviews but it was just ok. Server was good and very friendly atmosphere! read more

Clean, great food, great service. Will definitely come back again. Additional notes: Leave your dog at home. read more
