    Texas Hot Chicken and Avocado Toast
    Jacqueline G.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We came here as a spur of the moment. We ordered a burgerand the drink that was on special. The atmosphere is cool. I like coming here more for the brunch vibe.

    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

    WILL NEVER BE BACK!…read more HATED. EVERY. MOMENT. OF. THIS. PISS. POOR. EXPERIENCE. EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. VALET. NOT. FREE. I called before deciding where to eat on a Sunday afternoon to confirm parking situations. Parking is not easy downtown so this played a huge factor in figuring where, out of the dozens of brunch places, to eat. Definitely a bit of a walk to get accommodated at the actual restaurant so valet seemed the most reasonably enticing for parking solutions. Well, I called and spoke with the lady at the front desk. I confirmed with this little girl FOUR TIMES IF 1. They had valet available today 2. If it was complimentary. Come to find out it was not complimentary. And $7 for parking just doesn't sit well with me when there are ample free options else where with satisfying beverage, meal, ambiance, and service. All of which, I DID NOT GET AT HAYWIRE. I come in and although I had a reservation that I was 10 minutes early for while noticing tables available, I was told by that same girl who lied to me about parking I needed to take a seat. Reassuring me that it would only take two minutes to be seated. 10 minutes later I see coupled and groups walking in and guess what? They were immediately sat. While I am waiting to be sat at one of the three clean tables I'm staring at. I finally tell my boyfriend I am about to eat at the bar and he goes to the hostess stand to inform them our frustration and guess what? We were sat immediately. I get seated and there are two standing fans placed next to my table that's blowing my hair all over the f*****g place. I had to tell them to turn them off. What? No AC in this place either?? We immediately ordered and got the elk tacos for an appetizer. The tacos are WAY too spicy and way too salty. Too spicy AND too salty?? They're a no for me. You literally can't taste anything because of both! I HATED these little tacos. Probably the worst I've ever had. Ever seen someone attempt to pinch a bit of salt to season and the entire top comes off?? These tacos. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak. He loved it (loves spicy and seasonings because he's Cajun) but I tried it and it was over seasoned. Again? Couldn't taste what I was eating. The mashed potatoes were divine. Enjoyed those! And then the green beans were tasteless. Hahaha what a joke. I ordered the barbacoa chilaquiles and it was literally too spicy to eat. Inedible. My eyes teared up, my nose started running, and I couldn't taste anything after a couple bites of the spice. I was so f*****g over this place I just ate my boyfriend's mashed potatoes and we left. If I had it my way, I wouldn't have paid for a thing here. They don't deserve our money and I HATE they got a cent from me. I'm livid. I hate this place W I L L N E V E R B E B A C K
