    SMOKED DIP DUO
    Stella F.

    I came for their brunch with a friend and for 2 people the family style is a great deal. There was nothing to rave about taste wise but it was decent. HOWEVER, I came recently for dinner and scoured the menu for at least 30 minutes for something to eat despite being starving. I wanted the harvest bowl which was listed for lunch and I was told could be made for dinner but apparently not. I knew better than to order a steak and the salads looked a bit sad on previous reviews. My friend ordered the smoked dip duo as an appetizer and despite the presentation the flavor was disappointing. He also got the filet with a side of fries. He ordered it med well and it came out way past well like a hockey puck. I decided to get the "spoon bread" thinking it would be moist corn bread but it is legitimately uncooked batter with a crust. I immediately asked to send it back without even trying it but the manager urged me to try it first. It tasted like boiled onions with the texture of baby food. They took it away and took it off of my check. They offered to get me something else but I had no faith in the kitchen. My drink (the grapefruit sour) was half decent though. The service is good and bathrooms are clean with plenty of parking. They have live music and when it's food it adds to the vibe but when it's bad... well it gives a layer of entertainment either way. Unfortunately the food is too much of a let down to even give 3 stars. I won't return.

    Went for lunch with my boyfriend, first time for me. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food tasted great and trust me... the servings were more than any one person should eat in one sitting. The beers were cold and the atmosphere was open and airy. Not a real complaint but it was noisier than I expected. Fine for a date or out to lunch with friends but I would not try and hold a business lunch there is items were to be discussed.

    My cousin went for her first visit. Ive been several times one of my favorite places for brunch. The food is always good, music and service. Ask for Kenya she provider excellentcustomerservice! Get the salmon burger with extra sauce.

    Great live music with mellow 70s rock, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I usually come with a big group, and this visit was no different. The cedar plank salmon was a solid recommendation, and the spoon bread was delicious. I had the non‑alcoholic margarita since I was driving, and it was refreshing. Always a good time here.

    The restaurant was nice and cozy on the inside. Staff were nice and we were seated promptly. We were offered the happy hour menu and ordered a few drinks off the menu to start off. Now nothing against our server because she was really nice. But the service was extremely slow for the restaurant being that empty on a Saturday. We ordered some appetizers which also took some time to make. The oysters were ok at best and the onion rings were actually really good! My wife ordered the salmon Caesar salad and I got the wild boar chili. I'm still not 100% sure why it took over 30 mins to get the food. On top of that, they over cooked my daughter's burger, forgot my chips that I had to ask for near the end of my meal. I probably won't be coming back to this restaurant but it was an experience to say the least.

    Our section was right behind this open area. We had 6 picnic tables for our group.

    I booked an event at The Rustic back in June of this year for this week. Originally was going to book the downtown location but they easily switched me to the Uptown location since it would be more convenient for our guests. We had 30 guests. Communication was excellent, Shea and Kristina helped me and then Ingrid took over once I moved the reservation. Tkoi was the ops manager who assisted once we were settled. Our party arrived right at 530pm, we booked a 3 hour event. We knew parking would be a challenge, so many people carpooled. Little did we know, there is a parking garage that is free and across the street. I might have missed that detail, if not, definitely recommend that instead of trying to find parking. I did valet for 8.00 which was not bad at all. We were seated inside right in front of the stage which was nice, the area was sectioned off, with about 6 picnic tables. We had 3 servers who took great care of us from start to finish. I selected Corn Hole as a game, which was an added cost but very reasonable. My guys loved this and it was also right in front of the open area. There was a performer that night but we could not hear that well. We mostly mingled and talked with our party anyway, the band was a nice touch behind the scenes. Food service was on time and plentiful, appetizers served at 545, meal at 615. It was plenty of food. The food: excellent! I selected wild boar meatballs, chicken tamales and cracklin deviled eggs. My favorite app was the chicken tamale. Very nice flavor with a little kick of spice. The meatballs were good too and so were the eggs. They were my least favorite. They kept the apps coming and we had food setup on each table along with drink service. My second favorite thing was the Texas fondue. It was nice and spicy too, the chips did not seem to be tortilla chips but they were good and crispy. The chicken and brisket tacos were very good. Chicken tinga was my favorite and everyone devoured them and the mushrooms were a surprise hit. Some of my party ordered off the menu as they stayed behind after our time was over. It was not crowded although it was a Thursday night. Our drink package included premium liquor, beer and wine and soft drinks. The house margarita was included, the package accommodated the group well. The giant beers were refreshing and they had a wide variety on tap. Only complaint: the restrooms did not have towels, they had dryers that shut off really quickly. Overall, I was very pleased with the communication throughout, the venue itself and the food and drinks. I would love to come back when I can actually listen to some music.

    Have enjoyed Brunch Jam and dinner here. It's always fabulous - delicious food, tasty cocktails, and attentive service. I haven't tried happy hour yet but it's high on my list! The brunch - it's amazing! I bring my young adult kids and we always enjoy the full spread. It gives us time to talk, catch up, and eat great food. The variety is good and everyone finds things they really like.

    We had a blast at the Rustic uptown. Great food, great service and great ambiance. We had an awesome time catching up with friends and ringing in the New Year. I love this place and can't wait to go back. Please if you are in the area go by and show this business some love.

    We had a large party come in for our Christmas gathering and the week staff and manager were very accommodating. All of the food came out in a timely manner, we enjoyed our gathering. The restaurant is extremely spacious, we enjoyed the live music and our brunch.

    Well I have to be honest with my review. I love traveling, and im from Louisiana so I love food. The food here wasn't my best. I got the spicy chicken sandwich it wasn't spicy at all, in fact it was dry. My husband got the bar b q grill salmon and it didn't taste like the description said meaning the flavor was none!!! Service was okay she lost us for a minute due to her other tables, so we had to reach out to other Servers that kept passing by, ordered a few cocktails and i was very disappointing, for $16.50 i want my glasses filled with a drink not half of a glass, the Ambiance was cute, place bigger than I thought. If I would try it again im afraid not. Didn't like the food, service, or drinks.

    Spicy hot chicken grilled cheese
    Evelyn L.

    Rustic nails the Southern-country vibe with a great atmosphere and live music. Unfortunately, the food didn't measure up. My spicy grilled chicken sandwich tasted like an overpriced Whataburger knockoff ($21 with not including fries). Service was friendly but spotty, especially for our group of 13. Overall, go for the music and vibes, not the food or attentive service

    A friend was visiting out of town for a conference and The Rustic turned out to be the perfect Happy Hour on a Sunday! While the food options on the menu are limited (the brisket nachos are uniquely served with baked potato chips rather than tortillas), there are plenty of cocktails to choose from. Nico, the bartender, kept the drinks flowing and explained that the "Rustic" espresso martini only came with one coffee bean (II've been told that 3 coffee beans is the standard for "good luck"). The Rustic Uptown location is super spacious, airy, and feels more modern and less farmhouse when compared to their downtown location (though, I do appreciate that aesthetic, too!).

    Love this place!! Such a fun vibe. And it's huge!! I love the live band playing. The food is also really really good. We got the deviled eggs to start and they were some of the best I've ever had for sure. We also got the mushroom side and hands down the best mushroom I've ever had. I can't explain it- it was thin sliced and marinated in something perfect. Then my mom and I both got the cedar plank salmon and the portion was HUGE- I loved it. Usually restaurants skimp on the protein, especially fish, so I really appreciate that they didn't do that! They also cary THC drinks which is getting more popular, but hard to find in restaurants so I thought this was cool. Overall the vibe was great and the food was amazing. Will be coming back!!

    Ask the Community - The Rustic

    What time usually the live music starts?

    It varies on the days but they do put out a full schedule for the month on their website

    Can we split checks?

    Yes of course , I believe it's discretionary on large parties - they will add 18-20% gratuity

    Do we need reservations for a group on a Friday night? Around 10 people.

    I'm not sure. It's a huge place but I suggest you call ahead to see if reservations are needed for a large party such as yours.

    TVs for sports? Do they play football on Sunday's?

    Yes. TVs at the bar

    Is it hot in there?

    No it was a comfortable temperature

    Is this a kid friendly place on Sunday night?

    Yes

    Is there free parking?

    Yes, at the Uptown location.

    Are you wheelchair friendly? I see in pics picnic tables and those r not friendly!

    There are tables for wheelchairs.

    Do I need reservations for a week day at 630pm?

    I've never needed a reservation so you should be good with just walking in. Also, if you do call ahead they won't seat you until every person in your party has arrived.

    Is there public WiFi available?

    Yes

    Is the patio pet friendly?

    Im not sure if they allow pets, I didn't see a single pet inside. You might wanna call them to make sure.

    Does The Rustic take reservations for lunch?

    Reservations are ONLY accepted Mon-Wed...no reservations allowed Thurs-Sun since this is their busiest time and The Rustic is meant to stay and enjoy the food and live music etc so it's not the normal eat and leave type establishment!

    Are you able to make reservations?

    Yes you can.

    If I bring my 18 year old son will rustic allow me to buy him a few beers with dinner?

    Even though the state of texas allows you to purchase your son an alcoholic beverage for consumption in your presence, that is not allowed at this restaurant.

    Is it dog friendly?

    I just called to see if they allow dogs on the patio and she said only service animals.

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes I saw families eating there

There is a cover charge of $10 for most of the performances but if you check out their website and the calendar, some of the shows are free also. The crowd is mixed but as would be expected with the genre of music, it's older - I would guess the average age of the crowd on the night I was there was 50-60 but they were getting down and having a good time so that's the important part! Parking kind of sucks here so I would suggest coming in early and if you find something in the parking lot or by the mechanic shop, back your car in because people will likely park behind you and it'll be pretty tight getting out later. There is also street parking around the neighborhoods but check the signs to make sure you don't need a permit.

    I rarely go to bars anymore let alone consume alcohol - I haven't had an adult beverage since…read morebefore COVID - but yesterday, I had the chance to check out this interesting nightspot in Houston's Spring Branch neighborhood called Eighteen Ten Ojeman. My friend's band, Zenjii, had a live performance there. A power outage befell the establishment (thanks for nothing, Centerpoint!) so the show was switched from inside to the patio. I'll say that the patio is a bit on the gritty side but has a really cool, summertime-in-the-backyard kind of vibe. I was drawn to the numerous street signs and license plates that were strewn throughout. Thankfully, the weather was cooperative enough. I did have a chance to check the interior. While virtually pitch black, I was able to see some pinball machines and a pool table. On a normal day, the place is likely buzzing. If the patio presented itself as a place for tailgates and barbecues then the inside was a badass combination of dive bar, honky tonk, and punk rock club. And because I don't drink alcohol, I settled on a Mexican Coke, which was a decent $3.25. When I took my first sip, I was taken back to the summers of my youth when I went home to the Philippines after the school year. The opening of the bottle left a bit of a weird taste in my mouth so I decided to pour the rest in a complimentary plastic cup. And Coke - no matter what flavor it is - tastes better in a plastic cup, but that's a different story for another day. As for the staff, everyone from Becca to Jeremy is pretty cool. Even those who served me the Coke were down-to-Earth. They didn't ask me for ID. *Laughs* But seriously, Eighteen Ten Ojeman is a great place to pull up to in Spring Branch after you have some legit Korean BBQ, which the area is known for.

    I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening around 7pm. Parking was kind of hard because the…read morerestaurant sits in a parking lot with several other businesses. The restaurant was definitely busy especially the bar. Outdoor seating that day was full as well. We sat at a booth behind the bar which was a nice spot. The atmosphere was intimate and lively at the same time. It took a minute for our waitress to come, but once she came the service was great. Our waitress was Jordan. It was my first time eating at Moxies and she had great recommendations. The menu had great options and a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The prices were decent $20 and up for dishes. I chose the Blackened Mahi Mahi and my friend chose the Steak Salad. The Mahi Mahi was a little overcooked, but overall the dish and its flavors were delicious. My friend loved her Steak Salad. The steak was tender and the dressing was light and spicy. I decided to get dessert and I chose the Toffee Pudding. It was AMAZING! The pudding was moist and not overly sweet to me. I would recommend Moxies for girls night and date night. The service, food, and atmosphere are definitely a reason to come back.
