This place was such a great experience!!…read more The restaurant opens at 11:00am sharp!! But the line to get in starts around 9:00am. So be prepared to get there early and stand in line for some great BBQ. They have the menu outside while you are waiting so prepared to know what you want. As soon as you walk in you'll need to place your order. Once you place your order you are given a tray and you go down the line to be given your food. Once you get your food then you pay and can seat yourself. They have Dino ribs as big as your head that fall right off the bone! And the burnt ends are amazing! So juicy, tender and flavorful. It can be a little pricy but the quality and amount makes it worth it. Ambiance was cozy and felt like home. You can tell this is a local favorite!

If you are in Cloudcroft a stop at BIL BBQ should be a requirement. The staff here are so kind and…read morehappy to answer questions you have. I got a chopped brisket sandwich and a pint of chili. No wait and was ready in about a minute Chopped brisket sandwich ($12); had a good half pound+ of melt in your mouth brisket on a soft bun that was still able to maintain its structure when the tangy sweet bbq sauce poured over it Chili is legit a hearty all meat chili bursting with flavor, mostly meaty with a slight tomato base flavor. A half pint ($5) is perfect for a meal for one or share between two/three people if you each have a sandwich or plate. Very tasty and probably top 3 I've ever had. If you are in the area and want BBQ with no wait you NEED to stop by. I can see why the locals prefer BIL and I'm aligned with them on it as well!

I hadn't eaten here in probably 15 years, but a friend said their chicken fried steak was good. The…read morelast time I ate here, it felt very dark and dingy. Now it's bright and clean inside. The chicken fried steak was very good with white gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a toasted biscuit. I always toast my biscuits at home, but this was the first time a restaurant toasted my biscuit and it was great. Service was prompt and coffee refills were provided when needed. I've decided this is my go-to restaurant for comfort food. Since my first visit to Rustic Cafe a month ago, I have eaten there three more times. I tried the hamburger steak with grilled onions and mushrooms on my second visit. It was very good too, but the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese sides were only Lukewarm. I guess I could have sent them back, but the steak and brown gravy was hot enough. The mac and cheese was nothing to get excited about. On my next visit I tried the BLT on Texas toast. It seemed a bit small for the $8.99 price and the mayo tasted a little weird to me (I only use Best Foods mayo at home.) It did include plenty of thin crisp bacon, but I had trouble biting through the tomato slices since my top and bottom front teeth don't quite touch. On my last visit, I had the Rustic Cheeseburger (medium) with onion rings as a side. The 1/3 lb. burger was very good, and I thought the quantity and quality of the onion rings was excellent. Only after I got home and looked at my receipt did I realize that I'd been charged a separate $1.49 for onion rings that were supposed to be included as side with the burger. I didn't really mind the extra charge since they had given me so many onion rings and they were the best I've eaten in many years. On one visit, the waitress gave me a 10% senior discount that I've not received on any other visit, so I don't know if this is a policy or just at the discretion of the wait staff. I know others have complained about slow service, but I'm retired and always bring my crossword puzzles with me to work on while I'm waiting, so I've not really noticed if the service is slow. Rustic Cafe is not advertised as a "fast food" joint, so I am happy with the speed of the service. My servers have always been pleasant and accommodating to any of my requests. Breakfast was always my favorite meal, and I'm pleased to find a place that offers breakfast all day. That'll have to be my next visit though.
