OMG!!! Deliciousness! We were lucky to get seats at the bar on a busy Saturday night, but MAN! I am so glad we did. Could be all the wine in me talking (though I don't think so from the way everyone was chowing down), but this was some Grade A BBQ! Pulled pork was laced with sauce - sweet, sticky, not the least bit dry... the spare ribs were so tender, Smokey and flavorful and honestly not a whole lot of fat... and the brisket, well it melted in your mouth. Honestly - just way too good! Drinks. Food. Service. Company - 10 for 10! read more

The Rusty Pig - Q for two - Barbeque Near Me - Geneva, New York

Service was amazing very nice. Decor was nice simple but that floor well wont talk about that. The fried green tomatoes were hard really hard tomatoes and absolutely no seasoning. No salt pepper on table to help them. The ribs were nasty, not what I expected from a bbq joint, hard chew the worst with silver skin still on was slimey, seemed under cooked and over peppered. Mac cheese was Amazing Smoked chicken legs Amazing try that kind of cooking for those nasty ribs! Lol Cheese steak was very pleasant very flavorful Great brisket. Cornbread was like cake yummo more plz. Overall I wouldnt be in hurry to go back. Tried it and over it. read more

Cute atmosphere, friendly staff but terrible food. I hate to bash any business but honestly I do not understand the 4+ star review for this place. For the appetizer we had the fried green tomatoes. There was not a lick of seasoning to be found. They were fried in cornmeal and relied on the side condiment for flavor. After that I did not have high hopes for the food and I was correct. For dinner I ordered the brisket, elote and baked beans. The brisket was slathered in sauce and the meat was so bland. It tasted boiled and not smoked. Elote is literally one of my favorites dishes and their rendition was just strange. The Cole slaw tasted like perfume, everything tasted so odd. My wife had the ribs and that was the only edible thing on our plates. So sad. read more

This is the first restaurant we went to for dinner in Geneva and it was, unfortunately, a very disappointing experience despite their excellent reviews. Let me get to the details: Service: staffs were not attentive, friendly, nor helpful. The restaurant was busy when we came so we decided to seat outside. However, their outdoor tables were wobbly. Also, there were no bugs control devices nor heating lamps to accommodate us. When we asked to move inside, their response was we have to talk to the host and the hostess told us it is not possible because they were "too busy".... Yet we would see an empty table where they rather seat 2 people that come after us instead of us. On top of all that, our sever never came to refill our water. For service, this place is a zero star for me. Food: we ordered their famous heavy plate. The food size was loaded for the price, everything tastes fine but nothing was exceptional. Giving them some stars for the decent food. Atmosphere: inside has lots of booth style seatings and bar seatings. They can accomplish large parties. Outdoor seating is not great as their tables were cheap and they're seating on a slope. There were no heat lamps or bug controls so I don't recommend eating outside in the evening here. Overall: honestly, we felt ignored at this restaurant. I wouldn't come back here since they're not very accommodating or nice. Highly recommend management to train their staffs better. read more

Fried green tomatoes 8/10 Tomatoes were tender. Cooked well. Breading was cornmeal, not the biggest fan of it because it's gritty, heavy, and falls off very easily. Tangy Chipotle dipping sauce was delicious, great flavor, a little sweet and a little spicy. Heavy Kevi's Famous Beef Brisket 10/10 Amazing as always!! They got rid of all their bbq sauce flavors, so sad!!! Elote 10/10 Same as before, a cold salad, little spice, very delicious! Salt Potatoes 7/10 Last time they were more salty and buttery, this time more plain. Not as good as before. read more

I've walked by The Rusty Pig dozens of times and hadn't had the opportunity to stop in until tonight. I ordered takeout around 4:15 and it was ready 20 minutes later. The hostess and bartenders were welcoming. There's definitely a "rustic" vibe to the inside of the restaurant. Their bar seemed to have some interesting drinks as well as all the usuals. There was outdoor seating available as well. I ordered the Brisket dinner and chose Mac and cheese as my side. It also came with honey cheddar cornbread and a bourbon apple coleslaw. The brisket fell apart and was really good. I just wish it had more of the barbecue sauce! Tasted great and had a nice char in spots. The mac and cheese might have been my favorite part is the meal. It's creamy and sharp, it even has a nice kick. I wasn't sure what to expect from the bourbon apple coleslaw, but it was a nice addition to the heavier parts of the meal and had a good sweetness to it. I also ordered an extra side of the baked beans, which were nicely balanced the sweet, savory, and spicy. They had a generous amount of meat in them as well. Everything was nicely packaged for takeout and I do think the price was reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality of the meal! read more

This is our second time and they did not disappoint. Nice place, clean. Service was great. Our waitress suggested the Smokey & Brisket Cracklins, BBQ Brisket on top of fried pork rinds, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle aioli. Soooooo Good! We couldn't stop eating it. You have to try it. Dinner we got the king pig because we live an hour away and needed leftovers. Lol! It had brisket, ribs, pork belly, pulled pork, cornbread, coleslaw and 3 sides ( chili, salt potatoes and elote corn). We didn't care for the salt potatoes. Literally were just boiled potatoes. No salt, and packets of butter on top of the potatoes. Other than that everything we sure was amazing.This is our favorite BBQ spot and so worth the hour drive. read more

Delicious brisket dinner with all the right trimmings. Bartender was helpful with whiskey selection for my cocktail (NYS product - also delicious). Glad I saved room for the apple bread pudding!

While food was hands down amazing, I was IMPRESSED by the staff. Each staff was simply taking care of business, there was a bus person, but any staff that walked by a table took dishes and cleaned tables. Other waitress filled water at tables that weren't theirs. Bartenders and the hostess also did many other task. Great, food, great service, amazing employees. You all ROCKED on June 12th 2026. read more

It was nice in here, but just wished they had a kids menu as well as we were traveling with 2 littles. We ended up just getting one of their meat boards to share with everyone. read more

They were really busy on a weekend night when we got there at 6:30ish so we got window seats! It was a vibe but the seats were slightly uncomfortable because I was too short. My friend and I shared a "Cue for Two". The brisket had some fatty parts on it that were scrumptious (but the leaner parts of the meat were dry). The bangin shorties were good when they were hot/warm but got more tough as it got colder (it didn't help that we sat right next to the front door)! The pulled pork was delicious and had a sweet barbeque flavor that paired so well with the mac and cheese! I thought the fries were crispy and added perfect texture to the meal and broke through the monotony of just MEAT. The slaw failed where the fries succeeded: it was not tasty so it failed to act as a palate cleanser/refresher/compliment to the meat. It tasted like bland apples and was not what I imagined cold slaw to taste like: creamy, crunchy, and fresh. The corn bread came in cute brick shapes and it was a sweet nutty bite that tied everything on the plate together! Our server was very busy but, despite that, she came over to us multiple times to check in on how things were going for us and she paid close attention to when we needed certain things. Though I didnt have the most amazing experience here the first time, I would love to come a second time and try their chicken sandwich and smoked pork belly! read more

Casual spot on the corner of Linden and Seneca Sts after seeing all the rave reviews we decided to check it out for lunch about 1:30pm on the 4th of July. Outdoor seating in the front which was nice and sunny and along the side with a bit of shade. We decided to dine in. Greeted right away by Erica as she was bringing food to a table of 10 we waited a very few minutes chutes before being seated at the front window. That's where I took the pic of the window from the inside lol. Not overly large but with plenty of seating noise level decent enough we could hold conversation in normal speaking voices. Shortly after being seated we laced our order for the smoked and grilled drumsticks and fries since we had dinner plans but wanted to try the food. We asked if the brisket could be ordered as is rather than as a part of something else and were told no substitutions. When the food arrived we did try the house made barbecue sauce which tasted similar to Heinz with red hot but was good. Fries were perfectly crispy in the outside and tender on the inside. The legs were very chilly in the middle and the meat was dry with a very salty skin likely reheated. I had a blue moon and my co-diner had an iced tea. Erica never reappeared to ask how our food was or to refill our drinks despite there being 4 servers and several empty tables. All in all not impressed with the premade and heated food or the service which was lacking. When asked if we wanted boxes or anything else she did not notice only 2 legs missing from the 6 leg order and never asked how everything was then either. Maybe will try again in the very distant future. For now we will try something else in Geneva next time we go. read more

4/5 overall for this place. Ambiance and staff were both cool, it's a nice little bbq joint. We ended up ordering some salads because it was SO hot, the thought of eating spicy bbq or Mac and cheese was not it. The pierogi were also pretty good as an appetizer and they were a bit spicy too. Steak salad was my entree and it was tasty. Good flavor with the add ins like the crispy onions. Overall this was a nice place in Geneva and great that is was open later than most other restaurants. read more

The meat is a bit too fatty in my opinion and you end up paying for mostly fat. Do not order the street corn or coleslaw! Mexican street corn tastes of artificial flavor seasoning. Having lived in Mexico I can tell you this is not how street corn should taste. The coleslaw always looks days old and has an off flavor. I would describe The Rusty Pig as low quality, stoner bbq. It's good if you're okay with greasy low brow quality. All in all it's not a bad place for a small town like Geneva and if I was a drunk college student I would probably give it more stars! read more

Food was amazing and proportioned well the service was good but the dinning experience was overshadowed by the fact it was cold outside and being dinner time the door was constantly open and closing and we were seated by the door so food got cold quickly and my wife was cold even with my jacket on her lap.. I will go again however it will be summer.... read more

This place is awesome! Always great food and great service. Been here many times, every time does not disappoint. I highly recommend!!!

Yelp wants me to write a long review, but this I cannot do, because I don't want this one piece of advice to get buried: whatever you do, make sure, make sure, make sure you order something that has the jalapeño relish on it! They call it the Bam-Bam Jam. I had the bam bam chicken grinder. It had this ingredient. I crave it still. read more

Amazing BBQ restaurant. Great service. Best BBQ I've had in a long time. So good we got a dinner to go the next day to take home with us.

Let's keep this short and sweet.... I absolutely enjoyed everything about our experience at the Rusty Pig. I honestly have NOTHING negative to say and would totally mark this as. Friends & Family Recommendation!!! My wife and I along with another couple made a day of exploring the area touring and doing tastings at a few Winery and Breweries in the surrounding. We were on our way home when we decided to stop in Geneva for a bite to eat before heading home. I'll be honest, this was not our first choice, but some of life's best events are the unplanned ones. Our meal and experience at the Rusty Pig is one such event. We will definitely be back.... Food....exceptional and generous portions. A pork lovers dream. Everyone at our table sampled each others and it was unanimous...OUT FREAKING Standing. I'd even go as far to say it was a Foodgasism event. Service....Emily was spot on the entire time. Nothing negative with her...she will be my server of choice every time. Sorry, I did say I was going to keep this short. Bottom Line...the food was exceptional, the service was terrific and the price point was more than reasonable. This is bookmarked as one of my favorites for NY and one off my top 5 in the Finger Lake area. read more

Do you want /like bbq? Then this is your place. It's a popular place - make a reservation. Our group had: Chicken thigh starter - great protein, fall off the bone, delish All kinds of bbq - thought the brisket was tender and tasty - comes with slaw and corn bread and then you pick one side. I had the green salad. So good. What I really appreciated, the portions weren't gigantic. Large but not gigantic. The burgers were enjoyed as were the different kinds of pork - esp the pulled pork. Our waitress was kind, had good follow up, and offered excellent suggestions. They say there are vegan options, but our group didn't do this. read more

The hamburger meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly! And the buns went perfectly. My companion enjoyed his BBQ. I also loved the French Fries. Crisp, fresh, and not greasy! Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant. The tiny restaurant /bar was cute. We enjoyed our stay In this lovely lake town. The shopping was great, too! Thanks! Everything was enjoyable and yummy.

Barbecue is so so. Bourbon selection is great. Appetizers are really good. So it's a good place to catch a game and chill out, pretty relaxed scene, something for everyone on the menu.

Nice restaurant Very good food.... the brisket sandwich is my favorite. And the big plate with 3 different meat

100% barbecue!!! If that's not what you're craving, you won't find alternatives on the menu. Reservations recommended even though there's seating available inside and out. We were a large group and were seated inside. It was very hot! Beer was cold! Food was not really special. Our group ordered different items but they all kind of looked the same. Our waitress was extremely friendly, though. read more

The short ribs were boneless and delicious, possibly the best I ever had. However, the sides were fine, not great. The apple slaw was interesting, Texas caviar was slightly bland. The corn bread was good but I had better. They don't take reservations unless you have 5+ people which makes it difficult to get seated especially on a nice day and you want to sit outside. You should add your name to the list an hour before your target meal time. read more
