Stopped in by chance. What a good idea! Crystal greeted us so warmly making us feel at home right away. It's a family run restaurant and the owner has clearly put her heart and soul into making it a place you want to come back to. We were here for lunch so we only ordered sandwiches. I had the veggie burger and my husband had the steak and cheese sandwich. Everything is homemade-my veggie burger came with a yummy avocado dressing and chips. I scarfed it down too fast to take a picture but it was nicely presented which always makes a dining experience more enjoyable. I really respect a place where care is taken beyond just the food to boost the overall pleasure of eating out (which I love!). The dining area is immaculate and coffee is served in a carafe so one doesn't have to repeatedly ask for refills-a very nice touch. I like this restaurant. I think it's well worth a visit or two or more. read more

The Rustic Table - This was my veggie burger. - American Near Me - Winchester, New Hampshire

First we have to talk about their punch buckets! Go ahead and get a bucket! The cherries are soaked in some delicious alcohol too! We have tried the Philly sandwich with onions peppers and mushrooms.. it is my all time favorite sandwich I have ever had! Delicious! Their seafood is amazing as well. The whole belly clams were fresh and perfectly cooked. read more

Stopped in for lunch while visiting friends in the area, and could not have been more pleased. As a solo traveler, I sat at the bar. The staff were all friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the local beer selections were impressive. The next time I'm in Winchester, NH, I'll definitely return to the Rustic Table! read more

First let me say The Rustic Table is where you come if you want to feel like you're home having dinner with your family. The food is good but this restaurant is all about the atmosphere. Their menu reminds me of a comfort food restaurant all it needs is a macaroni and cheese! read more

Great meal. Hubs and I shared a bowl of clam chowder. It was very flavorful with fairly large chunks of clam. Had one bite with grit but that can happen with clams. I ordered the whole clam bellies and my husband got the fried Haddock. Both were fried just right. If you want a good solid fried seafood meal, this place is the ticket. read more

The atmosphere is loud and casual, but the food was really good! My baked seafood was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the fish and chips said they were good. The rusty rum bucket was awesome! read more

What a wonderful little place! We stopped in on our way to Keene for the fall foliage... was the only place we could find that was open in the 'dead' hours between lunch and dinner. We actually ended up backtracking to get back there, and it was well worth it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and all four of us enjoyed our food. A slight nit pick was that my soup came out at the same time as my entrée, but otherwise no complaints about anything... even the bathroom was clean and well kept up. If this place was local to me, I would already be a regular. read more

We needed a lunch stop en route from the Boston 'burbs to Stratton Mountain, VT, and this little place was just about the halfway point. Service was friendly and the kids' menu had all we could ask for for a 3 year-old. My fish sandwich was better than I expected: a generous portion of lightly breaded haddock. The steak and cheese sandwich got a good review, and the mushroom burger was fine (after sending it back to continue cooking). There's not much in this area of southern NH, so we were pleasantly surprised. read more

Charming place. Quality food and respectable prices. This will be a go-to location for us for a while.

I had the baked scallops which was very good, large portions with rice pilaf and squash. The clam chowder was decent, small minced clams, but still pretty good. Wife had the combo baked seafood which shrimp, haddock and scallops. Service was friendly and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable with good portions. It's a good place for a family dinner. read more

Portions are large, Everything we had was very good. The atmosphere was very nice and the owner and waitstaff were friendly and hospitable. We had their clam chowder which was excellent. Not as good as mine but very good. My wife had a Caesar salad which was huge and reasonably priced. ($7) I ordered the Captain's platter (which is seafood)but since I don't like scallops they were very gracious and let me substitute for whole belly clams. The haddock, clams and shrimp were excellent, not greasy and had a light batter. I will say it was pricey at $25 but quality and plenty of it. There are many, many items on the menu and some more reasonable options. They also have kids menu items ranging from $2-$5. The bar looked well stocked and they had some specialty drinks and a decent beer selection. I had a seasonal pumpkinhead and they served it in a chilled glass with cinnamon around the rim. I will go back, probably not splurge on the seafood again for a while. I am sooooo stuffed. But will try out some of their other menu items. They also serve breakfast and lunch. Give them a try. read more

Visiting a friend at his new house, came here fur dinner. Good food, nice staff, cute place

Only been here a couple of time and I just don't care for the food!!! I'm kind of a picky person when it comes to food there's a lot of food I won't eat. Other people in my family like this place but for me not very much!! read more

Really expensive and the food isnt to bad but it's good . There servers are nice and helpful .

Went here for my birthday dinner on Saturday night and it was prime rib night, delicious! Also sampled the rusty bucket cocktail amazing! We will definitely be back! Great atmosphere, great waitstaff! read more

Not bad. A little pricy for the fare. Had the seafood platter. Skimpy portion an the batter was not to my liking. Seems to be mostly a locals hangout since it's the only game in town. I'm sure they'll improve if friends and family stop with the insane reviews. Ten more miles north and a world of fabulous cuisines await with reasonable pricing and much more ambiance. read more

I am passing through New Hampshire and just happened on this place. It has great breakfast. The basics with pizzazz. Today they featured choice of home made cranberry muffins or blueberry coffee cake. I tried.the latter which was delicious. Also, the service was fast and friendly. I would come here again. read more

Stopped at this rustic restaurant on a whim. I was very surprised, pleasantly surprised by this place. Very clean, warm and welcoming restaurant . Crystal was very friendly and helpful. Simple but delicious food, mostly homemade. It seems that it's owned and run by a proud family. Could not wait to start eating my cheese and steak sandwich so I missed taking a photo read more

Food and atmosphere was excellent. Definitely go for the cheesecake and the stuffed haddock!

Place was below average, drove an hour for below average food.. I'm in the industry.. been an executive chef for 25 years. We enjoyed this place before the covid hit.. been twice since, it's like a different restaurant. Seafood was frozen. We ordered 3 baked seafood platter's. Food was cool when brought to us. Mashed was cold. Waitress had an attitude. My fault ordering fish on a Tuesday. Big no- no in the industry, it's usually Friday's fish. Seafood doesn't usually get delivered to restaurants until wed and Friday. Be careful what you order. It was a 5 out of 10, and that's being generous read more

If you're passing through you must stop! Just moved to the area and it's nice to have a great restaurant in town! The atmosphere is great, with beautiful wooden tables, very cool lighting, and a small bar. Been here for lunch, dinner, and drinks and its all been good. I had the pesto chicken sandwich, and the chicken pot pie another time. Both were yummy. I've been enjoying their featured beer too, Sick Day by Long Trail. The waitresses are great too. I believe Jordan (hope that's her name) waited on us. We were a party of 10. She was efficient and enthusiastic. We'll be back. Thanks! read more

Haven't had the chance to eat in as I only found this place after the Covid shutdown. Had their clam strips and haddock take out. It was amazing! Perfectly cooked and crispy!! We also tried their stuffed mushrooms, those were indescribable and a must try! Looking forward to visiting when they are open to the Public!, read more

What a lovely little place! Thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the help. The price was right and we didn't have to wait at all on a busy Friday night. Fantastic! We will surely visit This spot again! read more

Excellent food, reasonable prices and speedy/friendly service. Very welcoming and appreciative of customers. Would recommend and will return. read more

Had a great experience great service had a picture perfect breakfast sandwich passing through the waitress was great and prompt...worth your dime read more

We drive an hour from Massachusetts just to come for lunch, the fish is out of this world and so fresh. We've also had the baked onion soup and the homemade apple crisp. If you're looking for home cooking this is the place to go. read more

We enjoyed the food. The mac and cheese were great and the kitchen made the crabcakes into a sandwich for me. Homemade potato chips were great. The staff was great and the atmosphere was enjoyable being all new. I would like to see at least one regional microbrew on tap Recommended . read more

I stop on my way up to NH. I have been here 3 times and have not been disappointed. Well worth the stop, quality of the food and price. keep up the good work Ruth! read more

Meals are hit or miss as far quality of food. Have had to send back brown eggs, tough steak. But other times the food is very good.

Holy wow, unbelievable how good the food is, 5 star quality at 4 star prices, flat iron steak was the best steak I've had in years, wife had the boneless short ribs and they were just as good. Atmosphere is very country but classy as well with lots of antique photos and mason jar glasses and lamps. I can't wait to come back. read more

Arrived on a Thursday night, it was busy, but there were a couple of empty tables. We were greeted quicky and the host and server were very friendly. Once we got our food, it was quite good. We had a steak with jalapeno butter, which was quite tasty even though it was a bit overcooked, and the fried chicken. The chicken was good, and mashed potatoes were great. I dug the atmosphere, warm and cozy. The reason I am not giving more stars is that it took 45 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we got our food. Granted, they were full, but having been open for a while now, I don't think it should take that long. We were hoping to have dessert, but we didn't have enough time. I won't rule out going back if the opportunity arises, but I'll make sure I don't have to be anywhere at a particular time. read more

3/11 Round 2! Just as great! Had the flat iron steak with jalapeño butter. Ordered rare. Arrived rare! Was delicious! Tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked throughout! My mother in law had the scallops. Best ever she said! My father in law had the haddock. He loved it too! Can't wait for round 3! read more

Love the service and food. The staff is friendly and well trained. I can't recommend this place enough!!

They have a great burger & fries and Caesar salad, as well as specials. They had clam chowder and lasagna on special and they were both fabulous. The menu is a good size and has plenty of comfort foods. Great decor and nice wait staff. I really enjoyed the music today too, it was all well known classics. I will be going back. read more

I just moved to this area and was told by a couple people how good the food is at Rustic Table. I was not disappointed. I went in for a late lunch about 1:30, so they were not busy and I had no wait. Crystal, our server, was friendly and the service was great. I got the Chicken pesto & provolone sandwich with homemade chips and it was all delicious. Also, I come from Florida where we love our ice tea, I ordered a glass there and it was perfect. Im looking forward to going back and trying something else from the menu. Prices are reasonable and for what I got, appropriately priced. read more

Very nice stop in our travels. Pretty good food. Excellent staff. Very nice atmosphere. Will go again for sure!

Great family owned rest! Everything came out hot and exactly what we ordered. We had a large party and the waitress never missed a thing! The food was amazing! read more

What a great diamond in the rough. Had baked stuffed haddock with shrimp. Baked to perfection. Fish was flaky yet not overcooked and seasoned to perfection. Waitress was warm and welcoming. read more

My husband and I went for breakfast. Restaurant was busy, but there were empty tables. It took us 25 minutes to get our breakfast and when we did my scrambled eggs had been cooked in grease, they were brown. My husband had pancakes and they were very dry. They only gave him 2 small pats of butter for 2 large pancakes and about 1/4 cup of syrup. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more
