    Food is good! Service is good & ambiance is country, western, and rustic like the name of the restaurant. Space is huge, they have live music, they offer brunch on the weekends. Variety of food, everything I ordered was good & I would order again. Meatballs were surprisingly so good. Normally meatballs are in red sauce but the rustic makes theirs with jalapeño jam so it is unique and worth trying! What I ordered: Texas tamales Smoked dip duo The rustic burger Caesar salad with chicken Twice baked potato Broccolini

    Popped into The Rustic for a quick happy hour drink and a few bites! For cocktails, I tried an Espresso Martini and a Lemon Drop Martini. Because one martini is never enough during happy hour! Smoked Dip Duo - 3/5 This was definitely different! It comes with smoked brisket, spinach & cheddar fondue, cold pimento dip, and smoked salt potato chips. The flavor and even the texture were different from your traditional queso/dip. I think I would've enjoyed it more with tortilla chips instead of the potato chips, but I'm glad I tried it. Texas Tamales - 3.5/5 These weren't exactly what I pictured when I saw "tamales" on the menu. They're more like a stuffed/open-faced tamale situation. It's their jalapeño spoon bread topped with either smoked brisket and chipotle garlic queso or chicken tinga with cotija cheese. Definitely different, but the flavors were good! Overall, it was a nice little happy hour stop. The food had some creative Texas twists that I wasn't expecting. Some things worked better for me than others, but I'd definitely pop back in for drinks and try a few more things on the menu!

    Came to this location for the first time this past Saturday for brunch. Located inside Uptown Park, I didn't have any trouble finding a parking spot close to the restaurant. Upon entering, there were a couple of staff members at the host stand. A man who completely ignored me and a lady who was on the phone so she couldn't help me. I waited a bit until the hostess got off the phone and I told her that my friend had a reservation. Gave her the name but she was having a hard time looking for it, so I finally simply texted my friend where they were seated and found them myself. Not sure if my friends chose to sit out in the patio area or if they had chosen to sit there. But as we were eating, the sun was beating down on us hard. So this wasn't a very fun experience for me. Especially for being here the first time. The foods were not bad. And our waitress was awesome because she was quick with everything. I wouldn't mind coming back again, but hopefully I'd have a much better experience than my first time.

    The family style brunch at The Rustic is genius. We came with a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Being able to try a bunch of different options in smaller portions was great, and it seemed like a communal dining experiencing with my party. We were sat in a large booth so there was plenty of room, and there was live music which was a great touch. I did not get any alcohol, but enjoyed the espresso martini I tried. I enjoyed everything we had, especially the fried chicken, bacon, and biscuits and gravy!

    The atmosphere is fun! Live music was professional and entertaining. The hostess was thoughtful and moved us to our preferred location. The food was amazingly delicious. The brunch was epic. Worth repeating for sure. I was a tad disappointed that they didn't give our birthday girl anything. If they had, I'd have given them a 5 star

    It was our first time here and we were delighted by the live performance, quick service and delicious food. Our server Logan was prompt and took great care of us. He answered all our questions and made sure to come back often to check up on us. Nice that he also helped us with our group photo. Loved the large onion rings, crab cakes, tamales and their meat dish options. I did wish the steak with cheese inside, didn't spill out on arrival.

    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.

    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.

    JALAPEÑO SPOON BREAD

    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.

    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.

    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

Thumbs Up: Portions of the rooftop are dedicated to gardens that grow fresh produce, adding a unique touch to the space.

I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

And the catering director was deff. bipolar! when we were sold she over promised then under delivered - in almost every aspect... the reception was 5 hours and they only allow a BAR package for 4 hrs. so a whole HOUR of the reception ( not drinks allowed!) didnt find this out until after signing the contract... no open flames allowed ... so after we bought over 1000 votive candles COULDNT EVEN USE THEM... that same catering director was completly rude and insulting to the 3 vendors we brought in because she had discouraged us to go to any vendors that were not her "friends" ... during the reception we signed up for an ice cream station... they only opened the station for 15 min. when it was supposed to be the WHOLE NIGHT and told 2 little kids that they missed their chance at the ice cream... unbelieveable! but the best thing... before the party was even over all of her staff ( servers and cooks) got plates... stopped serving and preceeded to help themselves to whatever they wanted on the buffet and then tried to take some of the decorations with them at the end of the night when they started to clean up before the guests had started to leave!

    Although I've never stayed at the Omni Houston Hotel, I've been here for so many events. Weddings…read more Baby Showers. Bridal Showers. Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Charitable Fundraisers. Galas. Went recently for a Sunday Brunch to celebrate a special family occasion. Loved the Wedge Salad bar with so many choices. Start with little gem or baby iceberg. Add blue cheese, cheddar or feta cheese. Add veggies. Tomatoes. Cucumbers. Shredded carrots. Black beans. Roated corn. Top it off. Walnuts. Pepitas. Hard boiled eggs. Chicken cubes. Dress it with buttermilk ranch or balsamic vinaigrette. So delicious. Grab a Momosa. I made my own mocktail using Perrier, mango puree, and a splash of cranberry juice. All of those virtual Yelp zoom events really have taught me how to mix the most delicious mocktails when the bartenders don't have alcohol free options. Get more veggies. Love the roasted rainbow carrots and Brussels sprouts. Amazingly, the Democratic Republic of Congo team was at the hotel for the last family gathering that I attended. So nice to talk to some of the members of the delegation about the team's historic Cinderella story. So happy that they felt welcomed during their stay in Houston. The World is Watching and Houston was ready!

    We have stayed at this hotel as a family of 4 at least 4-6 times over the past few years. Initially…read morewe liked the location and the ease of parking. While the lobby looks nice and provides the vibe of a luxury hotel, the rooms certainly do not. The decor and amenities are straight outta the 80s - probably the last time the rooms were outfitted. With each time we have stayed here the accommodations have gotten worse and worse. The once nice pillows have been downgraded to flat prison-like pillows. There used to be all sorts of snacks complimentary in the lobby. On this last visit there was absolutely nothing. Nobody says hi or greets you at front desk nor going in and out of the main doors. We were only provided 3 towels as a family of 4. You would think housekeeping would at least take note of the 4 toothbrushes! They did not even really turn over the room except making the bed - no wiping down of sink etc and one day left us NO TOILET PAPER! I am getting really tired of these hotels charging more and providing less. Newsflash: if you keep people's rooms nice and tidy and provide them with toilet paper to do their business, that is the bare minimum! It is a shame because as Austin residents we go to Houston pretty often and would love to have a home base in Houston but sadly, we have given this hotel multiple opportunities to make it right and it has just gotten progressively worse.

    I went for the first time with some friends who have been going there for many years. I had never…read morebeen to a blues club before, it was a lot of fun, you go to the bar to get your own drinks. They do not have food, we actually brought pizza in Side from Domino's next-door. We got there early so parking was easy. It's a small place, but there was plenty of seating and two pool tables. People were dancing and having a wonderful time. The band was a lot of fun as well. I would definitely go back. It was $10 cash cover charge on Friday night.

    This is a nice no-fuss, old fashioned live music venue that specializes in Blues and because it's a…read moresmall venue, you really get in up close and personal with the performers. 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.
