    Eggs and Migas and Avocado Toast
    David G.

    Brunch was fantastic! Service was impeccable (Josh was great!). Live music. What more could one ask for. Try the Texas Hot Chicken topped with spicy ranch dressing and the Eggs & Migas. Also, you cannot go wrong with the black pepper bacon.

    Highly recommend. Food was delicious, drinks were on point. Our witness Kat was amazing, friendly, and gave great recommendations. Definitely coming back when we come to Dallas. The place is open, fresh with live music makes it smooth and relaxing with a chill vibe. Sitting outside has fans and mist with shade perfect chill mood.

    THE RUSTIC BURGER.

    Super friendly staff upon being greeted, showing us to our table and servers. I love the design style, feels very rustic as their name indicates. Simple but nice interiors. Wide open spaces full of plenty of dining tables. The outdoor space offers picnic tables and smaller tables, all spread out and offer views of the stage. Live music starting on Wednesdays and going into the weekend. I ordered a rustic burger. Fantastic flavor and juicy not over powering. Watch out for the green chile, it will make some tear up. The servers were all super friendly and always with a smile on their face. Thank you for a great first visit.

    Texas Hot Chicken and Avocado Toast

    This is a fun brunch spot to add to the rotation, especially if you like live music. You have the option of eating indoors or outdoors, and we chose indoors. Happy to report they have covered, heated seating outside though so don't fret if you can get a table inside. The service was solid, and our waiter was decently attentive. Standouts for me were the Texas Hot Chicken (just a little kick but the right amount) and the Banana Pudding (salted caramel is the secret weapon)! The avocado toast was ok, but I wouldn't come for it alone. For drinks, I got the Bellini and also tried the Ginger Yuzu mocktail; the mocktail was my favorite. Pro tip - you can order any dish from the "family style brunch" section à la carte

    We had our company event here at the rustic in Dallas and the venue is spacious lively, and there was a whole stage for live music although the ambience is really good. We did have Catering buffet style food. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I expected a little bit more, not a fan.

    Went for brunch. Paid about $22 Got some sort of egg frittata thin (pretty good), biscuits and gravy (pretty dang great), thick bacon (good), fried chicken (amazing), avocado toast (good), potatoes (delicious), cucumber jicama salad (....), and lemon bars with fruit (it's okay). But the highlight was definitely the French toast. My goodness some of the best French toast I've had. For the amount you get, I'd say it's a bit expensive, but not too bad. Some items were amazing, others need to be changed. The customer service was amazing as well. I'd say it's worth the visit.

    Sunday Brunch

    This place is always amazing! We love coming here with our kids for brunch. It's probably the most unique brunch experience in the Dallas area--a family-style feast with 7-8 delicious courses. And the spicy fried chicken is hands down the best I've ever had! The live music creates a fun atmosphere, the service is always attentive and friendly, and the overall experience never disappoints. Rustic has been our family's go-to spot for about 12 years, and it continues to be one of our favorite places for a weekend brunch. Highly recommend for families, great food, and a fun Dallas brunch experience!

    French toast and bacon
    Josh P.

    If you haven't visited The Rustic yet, you need to make a stop there! They have live music on their stage, which is really enjoyable, but we came specifically for their amazing brunch. Our waiter, G, was fantastic--he answered all our questions and made sure we had a great time. The brunch is definitely worth it; we went with a group of seven, and the price was around $19.95 or $20.00 per person, so we all decided to go for it. When the food arrived, it was delicious! The eggs, bacon, French toast, and more were all exceptional. And let me tell you, the bellini was delightful. Just be sure to make a reservation to guarantee a table, as they have both outdoor and indoor seating. I highly recommend this place!

    This was our first time to The Rustic, and WOW, we were impressed. Greeted when we walked in the door, seated quickly, and staff was at our table promptly to get drink orders. Food (onion rings, smoked duo dip/chips, hot chicken sandwich, wedge salad, kids chicken nuggets)was terrific and delivered to the table quickly. The restaurant was clean and the staff seemed to enjoy working there. We loved the outside photo op area promoting the World Cup. An added plus is that we were there during Happy Hour, so we got to enjoy special pricing on drinks and some appetizers as well as listening to live music (Jordan Whitmore). Outstanding ambience! Loved this place and we will return!

    Really cool place! Large indoor and outdoor areas with live music. We came during happy hour and there was a great selection of drinks and appetizers for seven dollars. Our waitress was so quick and attentive as well.

    The Rustic Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Rustic

    Do they offer any music other than country?

    They have all types of Bands and music.

    Do they have outside tv's to watch college football?

    No outside TVs. However, bring a laptop or your phone and you are all set. This place is more of a social gathering and live venue rather than a sports bar. Very few TVs

    Just to clarify are dogs allowed?

    No. It is not a dog friendly restaurant. That is literally it's only flaw. Food is great. Atmosphere is great. Workers are great, but no dogs allowed.

    Can we make reservations ? Also, can people under 21 eat there?

    You can't make reservations for brunch but you can for any other dining options. And yes, 21 and under can eat there

    Is the live music indoor or outdoor, especially in the afternoon?

    The stage is split between inside and out

    Can I make reservations?

    Yes! We take reservations only a week out, and up to 19 people. We recommend calling exactly a week in advance to be guaranteed a reservation.

    Is there a way to order drinks at the bar (rather than waiting for a server to come to you and take your order)?

    Yes, of course. They have a U-shaped bar you can walk up to and order a drink from.

    Can you make reservations online?

    Yes! Go to RESY.com and you can reserve a table on there.

    Can you order from the regular menu on Saturdays before 3 or is only the brunch menu available?

    It will only be our brunch menu. We have a few items from our dinner menu ie. Hot Chicken and Cheese and Texas Cheesesteak.

    Is there any live music these days?

    Yes! You can find the schedule on their website: https://therustic.com/musicevents/

    Can you order off the regular menu as well during their brunch hours on Saturday and Sunday?

    It will only be our brunch menu. We have a few items from our regular menu (ie. Hot chicken and cheese and Texas Cheesesteak).

    Does The Rustic in Dallas offer Sunday brunch?

    Uh yeah

    What are the parking options and prices? Any free parking nearby?

    There is free parking immediately in front and close by on side street.

    When is happy hour?

    Monday-Friday 3-5pm 3$-5$

    Do I need to bring an ID to get in? I mean if they scan ID at their door?

    No they don't. Waiters/bartenders will ask if you order drinks.

    Do I have to reserve if I go with a group of friends?

    Not at all! We actually only take reservations for parties of 25 or more, so come on in and we'll get you a seat as soon as possible. The patio and the bar are always open seating, and the hostess will find you a table!

    Do they take reservations for larger parties or call ahead?

    They do not take reservations.

    What is the average age group?

    25-40 was the dominant age range. There were a few families with small kids and a few older kids with elder-ish parents.

    I hate when places don't put drink prices, I don't like that kind of surprise...I was wondering how crazy expensive are the popsicle frozen drinks?

    13.95 for the rimy Rita with a sangria pop in it

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

A bunch of seating too- lots of high tops upstairs/downstairs, bunch of tables outside & they have a lot of extra chairs. Service is great. Everyone always checks in to ask how everything's going and drinks/ food don't take too long to come out. I do LOVE their flatbreads. I've tried several flatbreads and they are all super tasty and not too expensive. I did appreciate that when Mexico scored during that first game, the servers brought out a bunch of shots free for everyone to celebrate! I thought that was a nice touch since other bars I have been to in the area are not as thoughtful or organized enough to host a lot of people during the World Cup! Sweet touch.
