Ate here for brunch today and had an amazing meal. I always forget to take a picture of my food until I've eaten some of it. The fishcakes were amazing. Toutans were amazing. Hashbrowns were amazing & I think you get the point. I'll definitely be back!

If you’re looking for a place where the food is as big as your appetite and the service is as warm as your grandma’s kitchen, look no further than Rustlers. This mom-and-pop gem serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day, so you can feast whenever the craving hits. Let’s start with the portions – they’re enormous. We were so stuffed after our meal that we had to roll ourselves out of there like two very happy burritos. I ordered the hot turkey with salad, and I think I might’ve accidentally eaten an entire farm. The turkey was tender, the gravy rich, and the salad was the perfect balance to all that hearty goodness. My partner opted for the Big Breakfast—three kinds of meat, eggs, potatoes, the works—and he was grinning ear-to-ear, a happy carnivore in his natural habitat. Now, let’s talk service. The staff at Rustlers could probably teach a masterclass in hospitality. Knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, they made us feel like we were regulars—even though it was our first visit. It's clear they take pride in their food and know exactly how to make you feel welcome. We didn’t venture into the bar or the pool hall (after all, we were already plotting our food coma), but I’ve got a feeling they’ve got just as much flavor in there as they do on the menu. In short: Rustlers isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe pack a nap for later. Five stars for sure!

Had a delicious breakfast at Rustlers with my sister. We both had the Eggs Benedict and quite enjoyed the meal. The hollandaise sauce was cooked well, and the serving size was very generous. Service was excellent; we were checked in on a regular basis and had ample refills of coffee and waters. Will be back!

I had the beef dip. REALLY good. Bread was super soft and fluffy. My only complaint was that i only got 2 ice cream sized scoops of mashed potatoes but evwrypne else ordered fries and their plates were heaped with them. I had a bite of my partners breaded chicken burger and it was honestly the best one i have ever had! Will be back to order my own! Staff was also super Friendly and helpful!

Ever waited for your food at a restaurant and see the waiter bring out a dish and you think, "I should have gotten that, it looks tasty!" Well this place is like that for every dish I seen them bring out! Food was top notch, service was great and the food came out really quick. 10/10 would recommend.

We had a lovely meal at Rustlers. My partner had the big breakfast and I had the eggs Benedict. Everything was exactly as we ordered and arrived fresh and tasty. The eggs were actually poached, not steamed in those egg "poachers". The hollandaise sauce was made on site, the bacon crispy and the touton it was served on was fresh and slightly chewy. Perfect! It was one of the nicest breakfasts I've ever had in town. The server was friendly and efficient. Recommended!
