    Our server, Morgan, was fabulous! Our food and drinks were very good also. The only minor issue was did temperature. My entree was just right, but the sides with it were lukewarm, especially the mashed potatoes. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable evening!

    We tried this restaurant for the first time, and it was amazing! Our waitress Megan was outstanding. It was a bit loud, but the atmosphere was great otherwise. Highly recommend the gnocchi, curry, rusk salad and tater tots!

    We liked everything except we were at a table near the door and it was cold so some of us wore our coats. I would definitely go back.

    Gorgeous vibe and the yams need to be made into their own side. They were incredible!

    Great neighborhood spot for drinks and burgers plus plus plus! Creative menu with an excellent array of gluten-free options. Slightly disappointed that they didn't have the Autumn Aperol Spritz - I'll be back for those spiced cubes. Overall a nice first experience and looking forward to trying more.

    Very nice atmosphere and great service. The wings were on the bland side- needed seasoning and the Philly cheese egg rolls were not good. Highly recommend the old fashion!! Great place for drinks
    Rusk Kitchen + BarResponded on 1 February 2025
    Tina - Thank you for the review! We work hard at being great at providing the best service around! We appreciate the honesty about the food options as well. The Philly Cheese Egg Rolls are a hit, but do to their origianlity, they are not for everyone. The Peebles Old Fashioned is a customer favorite! Please come back and see us soon and try our new spring/summer menu debuting in March!

    The server served me a bun that included gluten when I didn’t had even double check that it was gluten-free

    Thank you for the review. We apologize for the confusion with the gluten, that you are describing. We will use the information that you provided as a training tool to our staff regarding gluten and gluten free options available at Rusk. We hope to see you back soon!

    The Nashville chicken sliders appetizers were fantastic. Service was great, prompt and courteous. A corner fireplace would be a great addition 😁 for coziness!!
