Solid food and fun atmosphere, brunch here is great! Super easy to reserve for a large party, had one of my birthday dinners here this year. Music is always a little too loud for conversation which isn't my favorite, but it's also always good so can't really complain. When the weather is nice it goes from a good venue to a great one. Check them out!

It’s a little on the expensive side but the food and atmosphere are amazing! The service was good whenever they came around but the place is so big that it took awhile for them to get back around to us. I would definitely recommend this place to someone celebrating something special! (The valet is optional, they have free parking with ticket validation a couple blocks away.)

Went here for lunch with a couple of friends. All three of had the brisket burger. I can tell you unless you like hot peppers don’t eat the one on top in one bite. Service was great and so was the food. I want to go back to see live music if I am in the area again. I wish they had sweet tea considering it is kind of like a bbq joint.

Went with the family and some co-workers. Ordered some appetizers (the duo and the empanadas) very tasty! Also tried the pork chops (a little dry for my taste but good flavor) and the steaks were really good. Service was great, drinks were good. There was live music and the singer was amazing! We had a great time!

I was a little concerned because it was more than 100 degrees outside, and part of the venue was half inside/half outside. The food was great (my fiance and I split a brunch menu item as neither of us are big eaters, which was plenty), and the fans kept the room cool. Side note: Don't skip squeezing the lime into the Bloody Mary if you get one. It completely changed the flavor into one of the best Bloody Mary's I have had.

Visited recently for a concert. Overall great venue. Layout is chill and spread out. Picnic tables in front of stage. There is standing room outside on both sides of stage. Food was really good. Presentation was surprisingly cool. The tacos were delicious and loved the cactus fries, tasty for something different. I recommend the Legendary Rustic Rita. Very unique and fun, it has a frozen mango popsicle in it. My only con is that service was lacking.

Loved this place. Beautiful architecture. Atmosphere great. Good was delicious. Not expensive. Great live music. Service provided by waiter was great. Must visit. There is an inside and outside option to be seated, I choose outside. Parking was full so I had to park out of the place but no issue at all and it's still close, better to walk after the great food eaten for digestion LOL.

Had a really great time here overall. I went twice on my vacation and had great food both days. Wednesday late afternoon we were there for happy hour and had Tony and Alex at the bar and got AMAZING service. Thursday early afternoon we sat at the bar again and got mediocre service from 2 women bartenders. It felt like they were unfocused. We had to ask for menus... ask for water. And when we left they forgot to return my credit card and I had to double back for it. Ugh.

The Rustic has been on my list of eateries to try. I loved the rustic vibes this place has (hence the name 🤣) It is beautiful & spacious inside, they have an outdoor patio as well with with lots more seating , a stage for live performances & “cooling fans”. We went around 12pm during the week and it wasn’t crowded at all. ⭐️Cactus fries - 6/10 Tasted similar to fried okra, definitely not bad. I’d probably get them again. ⭐️ Rustic Chicken Club - 9/10 It’s 2 halves stacked on top of each other with bacon, chicken, jalapeño cheese bread, mayo, shredded lettuce, pico & chipotle vinaigrette + up-charge for regular fries. ⭐️ Banana Pudding - 10/10 I was skeptical but it was DELISHHHHH! I would definitely get it again & again & again! 😂 Overall I had a great time, the food was great, great vibes, beautiful decor, our waitress was training so it was a bit slow service, nonetheless I enjoyed it. 🩷 I heard they have excellent family style brunch so I’m excited to return & try!

There was nothing I didn't love about this place. The atmosphere is great. The staff was all so friendly. I wish I was better at names, we had a bartender on 2 of our 3 visits that was phenomenal, gave us great tips about things to do and see in Houston, getting around, etc. Quick service. Extensive local beer list that I wish I had more time to drink through. All of the food was outstanding. Most items were a little spicy (at least for me), but they were spicy with flavor still instead of just 'BAM punch you in the mouth' spicy. I forgot to take pictures of all the food because I was too busy shoveling it in. What a great little find!
