Orlando’s Best Happy Hours | Eater

"You can’t find one empty table out of dozens during peak hours here, and it’s not only due to the happy hour, though that certainly has a fan following. In addition to $6 pricing on the cocktail menu and on snacks like the Black and Blue rib-eye crostini, the craft draft happy hour price is $5, which is a couple bucks less than regular prices. It isn’t surprising that most of the crowd stays put into dinner hours." - Vox Creative

Rusteak Restaurant & Wine Bar - Review - College Park - Orlando - The Infatuation

"Picking somewhere for a group dinner can sometimes feel like an SAT question. Your cousin is a vegan, grandma just wants somewhere with good wine, and your best friend is taking their new Whole30 diet very seriously. Rather than stress over it, just tell everyone that you’re going to RusTeak in College Park. This restaurant and wine bar is casual enough for a quick lunch or a Happy Hour glass of wine, while still working just fine for a date or birthday dinner. Food-wise, they serve everything from burgers and flatbreads, to General T’s pork belly and plenty of fresh fish. Similarly, they have one of the biggest wine and cocktail menus in the city, so regardless of who is joining you, everyone should be able to find something to eat and drink here. photo credit: Daniel Kuykendall" - Maddy Zollo Rusbosin

The food was pretty good. We ordered the tomato jam, the salmon dip (NOT great!), the fresh catch, the pork masala, and a couple of drinks; not too bad. The ambience was great, mix of young couples, families and everything in between. Here’s where it gets bad: our server forgot our drinks and we had to ask a random server to check on them for us (it had been about 37 mins since we put in our order). The manager came to apologize and so did our server. We laughed it off. She went MIA again for another 20 mins and we finally put in our order for our entrees. We had ordered a side dish to share but never received. We were over hearing other tables talk about their missing items or concerns with their food. I’m guessing this is the norm here? Apologies are nice and all but when it happens consistently (twice in one sitting), maybe management should do more than just slap a “I’m sorry” on table and move on. All in all, this place is fine. I would categorize this as a swankier Millers Ale house.

I recently visited RusTeak Ocoee after finding it through the Resy program, and it turned out to be a great choice for a late lunch, or maybe an early dinner. The restaurant had a modern, slightly upscale vibe inside, but I decided to sit out on the patio, which was really pleasant. My cocktail was absolutely fabulous, and while the appetizer was just okay, the Italian Prime Rib Sandwich with their special fries completely made up for it, everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My server, Lena, was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back to try their steak next time.

Very nice place with great vibes and excellent service. The food was good, though the drinks could be better, I tried two different cocktails, and they weren’t quite my favorite. That said, I’ll definitely be back to try more. Check out this beautiful spot!

First time trying this place and the first impression was wonderful, beautiful interior and genuinely friendly staff. Our server, Aurora, was fantastic from start to finish, and Megan, the manager, was absolutely amazing and attentive. Unfortunately, the experience dipped after we waited a little over 30 minutes for our food despite the restaurant being quiet. When the dishes arrived, they were extremely spicy and the chicken was quite salty, which made it hard to enjoy the flavors of the dish. We mentioned it to Aurora, and she took great care of us with a replacement, truly appreciated. Given how lovely the team is and how great the ambiance felt, we’re willing to come back and give it another try. Hoping next time the seasoning is a bit more balanced, because everything else was spot EDIT: Went here again, THE SERVICE IS SO SLOW, don’t go here if you mind waiting more then 45 minutes for your food. And the chicken in the weeds is horrible

RusTeak did an amazing job of helping us host a baby shower for 20+ ladies last weekend!! Food & Service were fantastic! They offer prix fixe menus so party hosts can plan on a budget, yet guests can choose what they want to eat from a mini menu. Also, the restaurant is setup with private and semi-private space, depending on the size of your group. I highly recommend reaching out to RusTeak for party planning as well as lunch or dinner anytime - it’s a great overall experience!

I went here with my boyfriend for the first time and we loved it. The vibe was super cool with the Avengers theme. The crostini app with steak cheese and balsamic glaze is a must try. I had a steak sandwich which was also good. My boyfriend had a burger. I love the area and the atmosphere over there. I had great service and the restaurant was clean.

My husband and I love going to Rusteak for date night. Our server, Kenny, was great. I tried the No me Diga cocktail and he let me know the flavor profile was more like a salsa flavor. The drink was yummy and definitely a unique flavor. For dinner I had the shrimp citrus salad and it was amazing!

The food was amazing, the music was Lit, the atmosphere was great and the friendly service was impressive. I had the Crab Cakes that were so different, and I definitely would order those as a takeout snack. For my meal, I had the Keto Keto Salmon dinner, and it was amazing. I also had the Pina Colada, which was not too sweet and super refreshing. Everyone I was with LOVED their drink & food.

I went with my dad on a Tuesday night. We did an early dinner, but was quite surprised the restaurant was still crowded on 6pm (must be because of happy hour). We did take advantage of that as I enjoyed a honey mezcal drink (a little under 10 dollars duringhappy hour), and squash flatbread (about 13 dollars during happy hour). The mazcal was smoky and flavorful as expected, and the honey provided the right amount of sweetness. And just the right amount of strength that kept buzzing lightly without the sting. The squash flatbread was wonderful with ample amounts of butternut squash , sprouts, pumpkin seeds, and cheeses with a hot honey drizzle. It had the right amount of sweetness. While it does have pork, they were nice to take it out from us. I then took the fresh catch blt (about 18 dollars), while my dad did the salmon (30 dollars). The fish was halibut, which was mild and moist enough. The lettuce and tomato was fresh, but the bacon was a bit too crispy for me. The spread had a kick, which surprised me a bit. I enjoyed the broccolini as the side, which looked sauteed with garlic. Healthy and delicious . My dad did enjoy his salmon, but said it was a bit dry. The service was nice and attentive, even when it was crowded during happy hour. The bathrooms were clean as well. While the atmosphere was more upscale than the neighborhood grill, we were still fine in casual clothes. We got lucky to find a parking spot close to the restaurant as it was pretty cold outside. I was glad my dad could try this restaurant with me. The food is still really good and the service was great. I am happy they use Resy as we were able to enjoy our credits. I will definitely come back for their great happy hour deals. Overall: A-

I had been to the RusTeak in Thornton Park, but this was our first time going to the Ocoee location. Reservations can be made through Resy. I plugged in the address into my Apple Maps and when we got there...it had moved. LOL Fortunately, Yelp had the correct address and it wasn't too far away. The restaurant is now tucked into a new little plaza off Tomyn Blvd that I didn't even know existed. Thankfully, we still made it on time for our reservation. We were seated right away at a table in the center of their dining room area. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very modern. Our server Cindy was fantastic. She greeted us promptly and informed us that their Happy Hour was still going on (it lasts 'til 7 PM), so drinks and appetizers were 25% off. We ordered the Stracciatella Dip to start, along with cocktails. There's a generous portion of the creamy dip served with about six thumb-sized crostinis. Naturally, we asked for more of the tiny crostinis because there was so much dip left. Later, on the bill, I noticed a $1 charge. Not a huge deal, but...really? For dinner, I ordered the Italian Press sandwich with broccolini as my side. The sandwich was incredible: sliced prime rib, fire roasted peppers and onions, garlic horseradish aioli, and provolone, pressed on ciabatta, served with a side of red wine au jus for dipping. YUM! The broccolini was a bit disappointing, though. The stems were very thick. so they were very crunchy. I'm used to tender, narrow stems. My partner ordered the Smash Burger for his entrée and loved it. For his side, he went with the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. They were smaller than normal waffle fries and probably left in the fryer too long, so they ended up being very overcooked. Our server Cindy brought him mashed potatoes instead, and those were good. So, the entrees were delicious, but the sides not so much. And be sure to get there before 7PM to enjoy their Happy Hour.

RusTeak is at a perfect intersection of the 408, the 409, the 50, and the 429. If you're stuck in a crossroads of highways and traffic... just get off the beaten path and come over to RusTeak. I chose this place because I wanted to stop being held hostage by the traffic that day. I just said... "lets gooooooooooooooooooo!!!" and landed on this place. Beautiful. There is PLENTY of parking in front of this building without any of the Orlando chaos. Loved that. The Decor is pretty cool.. they took a pretty sterile space and tried to spruce it up a bit and give it a dose of pizzazz. I had a steak salad and while I wouldn't say that it was earthshattering in taste or price .... pretty moderate price wise.... It did the job... and I was starving and I feel like I mostly got my money's worth. As far as the experience? I sat at the bar so basically the bartender waited on me and he did a pretty good job considering I probably wasn't their normal local customer. Sometimes.. I feel like I have a sign on me that says.... "I'm not from here"

We went here for a friend's birthday. We had a great experience and lots of yummy food. I liked the kids menu, for a steak restaurant I would love to see a kids steak on the menu for the little ones that like steak too. Our server was friendly and helpful. The appetizers were good, I would definitely order the pretzel rolls again. My steak was cooked perfectly. Dessert was yummy! The bread pudding is a delicious treat. They even brought out a super cute display so we could sing to our friend for her birthday.

Loved the bar for a cocktail before our dinner party arrived. Lots of custom cocktail combos to delight. Dinner menu options abound! So many great options. I chose the shrimp pasta dish. It wasn't too spicy but the shrimp was a little salty. My husband really liked his smash burger. He got the Brussel sprouts as a side. He said they were good but a lot of juiciness at the bottom of the bowl. I noticed that w the edamame we ordered as well. It had like crispy onions on it but the bottom of the bowl is kind of soupy and the texture becomes a bit mushy. The flavor was on point, I just didn't like how wet it was at the end. My last critique is really w the no money no problems cocktail. I enjoyed it but it comes with a honeycomb cereal garnish that I thought was adorable but apparently inedible lol my friend and I both were excited to eat it but dismayed to find it awfully stale. It was more funny than anything, I mean... I get it you don't eat most garnishes but just a word to the wise for anyone else excited to take a bite. We'll be back for sure

Came to Rusteak for a family dinner and it took closer to 30-40 minutes once we ordered for our food to finally come out to the table. Service was alright but you could tell they were extremely understaffed and trying their best. We ordered three of the Rusteak burgers for our table. Unfortunately mine was ordered medium rare and came out inedible well done. I sent it back and when my replacement burger came out the burger was correctly medium rare however the bacon was undercooked and soggy. The egg was also overcooked on the second burger but it was still edible. The other two burgers at the table came out perfect. The fries were crisp and delicious 10 out of 10. They had a wonderful seasoning and were honestly better than the burger. My mother ordered a southern gent salad which was delicious. It came with fresh grilled chicken served over mixed greens with edamame, tomato, corn, eggs, bacon, cucumber, and smoked Gouda with a honey mustard dressing. The Rusteak burger comes with one 8oz patty, provolone cheese, bacon, over medium egg, crispy potato strings, tomato, garlic cilantro, and a toasted brioche bun. The restaurant was casual and clean. I recommend making a reservation on weekends as it tends to get busy. Overall it's good to try and would definitely go back.

A group of 6 of us visited for a coworkers birthday. I really loved the interior design. Many of the art pieces had a 3D effect on them, which was really eye-catching. I also liked the lighting. There were many different lighting features that brought an elegant yet industrial feel to the place. We had great service with Evan, who was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our table started with some appetizers. We ordered the pretzel rolls, tomato jam jar, and crab cakes. The pretzel rolls were great and paired nicely with the cheese and honey mustard. The tomato jam jar was a great savory spread. Unfortunately, the crab cakes were way too salty and had to be sent back. For my entrée, I ordered the birria burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was delicious and extremely filling. The sweet potato fries are a must order. They even brought out a brownie with vanilla ice cream to the birthday girl that was a show stopper. I look forward to visiting again!

Hubs and I decided to make reservations for RusTeak (4 miles away from our home). We loved the ambiance! Service was on spot, thanks to TJ, our server. Drinks (candied fig was a lovely touch) were smooth... food was great as well! Good portions and amazing flavors! We plan to go back and sit at the bar. Groovy vibes!

Ok! What a hidden gem. I had heard about this place from family, but never actually went. & the crazy part, it's literally in my backyard! I decided one day at a lunch with my boss that we should check this place out. We pulled into the busy parking lot and went inside. The hostess took quite a bit of time to seat us, but we figured they had a shorter amount of people during the lunch hour working. We were seated in the middle of the room, which had the best ambiance. Like when I say canvas avengers art and industrial/farmhouse feel, I loved it. I just wanted to go home and decorate my house that way! I ordered the fish BLT and my boss ordered the pork belly tacos. We were a little surprised that there was no "peanut allergy" warning on the chalkboard where the tacos were listed. She didn't have an allergy, but for someone who does - there were peanuts on it. The fish BLT was absolutely delicious. I literally finished every bite. I ordered the fries, too, and they were unreal. They were thin and well seasoned. I would definitely go back and try something else! Maybe even go during dinner or for a fancy date night.

The food was good as usual. I've seen recent negative reviews - for us the server was not very attentive. The appetizer and drinks came quickly. But our food took an hour to arrive. I would still go back.

We wanted to check out the new location in Ocoee. It's got a cool vibe and beautiful inside, but to me it felt like it was definitely trying to attract a younger crowd as more of a hangout-type place than a nice sit down restaurant. The Kung Pao cauliflower was delicious! Probably the best bite of the night. I thought for the price, though, we could have gotten a bit more. Each of us at the table only got to take about two bites. I ordered the lamb chops. The lamb was very flavorful, and quite a big portion. The mashed potatoes and veggies left something to be desired. My husband said the burger was a solid 4/5. My one big comment is regarding the service. There were maybe about 5 tables total in the whole restaurant but it took forever for someone to come greet us and even longer to get our food. We were starting to think they forgot about us with how long we had to wait. We had to flag a different server down to get drinks refills and check on us. It left me very disappointed. Not sure if I will make my way back here or not. The menu was a bit overpriced for all it offered.

Clean and great service! Food was just ok. Steak needed more flavor and wasn't so tender. Burger was overcooked. Waffle fries were flavorless. The General tso cauliflower & pretzel sticks were delicious. Prices are not too expensive. It's an ok spot. I won't be back.

Nice little find. The place was inviting with nice decor and ambiance. We sat in the back room which had brighter lighting than the main dining area. If you have a small party it's a good room as it had a TV and door that closes off from rest of the restaurant. The menu had unique offerings which I really enjoyed; everything from keto to vegan options where dishes were made with different variations of styles and flavors. The kung pao cauliflower is a must. The having a meltdown was also very tasty. It came with a side and I chose the wedge salad which could have been a whole meal itself; very yummy. The drinks were great. Thoroughly enjoyed my old fashion. The service was ok, they were nice but they were a little slow. Place is very accommodating and welcoming for kids as well. Would recommend has a nice date night or a place to eat with the kids.

What I got the kung pao cauliflower appetizer and also the maple bacon brussels (sans bacon). The Kung Pao Cauliflower was decent. It was on a bed of Arugula. There were a decent number of pieces of cauliflower for an appetizer. It was getting a little too sweet for me but I really enjoyed it. The brussels were also very good. I went with a group of people and I tried some RusTeak Chips which was a big on the salty side. The Edamame appetizers was the most surprising. it was drenched in garlic butter sauce and parmesan cheese. Def not what I expected, not sure if this was the way it should be or if it was a mistake. Environment New area, really nice looking - The bar area is right as you walk in. There is also outdoor seating available. Area is tucked away off maguire rd in a new development area. Niceness of the staff Super nice guy! The cups had a number of markings on it and then my fork still has some food scums on it but the server was quick to apologize and fix the issue. Food took a long time to arrive, not sure if it was the time I went... (2PM Saturday) or were they just low on staff. Dollar I thought it was expensive... but to be honest it may just be the norm... My KungPao was ~12$ and the premium side brussels were $8 Yes? Eh, I didn't find a lot of vegan friendly choices. I would like if they had indications on the various allergens and offered customization.. with having some vegan options

The environment is really nice, beautiful! Staff very friendly. The signature cocktails are delicious, we try both with tequila, the coconut one was ok and the mint with spices delicious. Strawberry Moscow mule was spot one. Tuna tartare on the plátano, was very good. Crab cake sliders was a bit boring. I The crab cake was in the middle of the Hawaiian bread and sauce, the proportion of it was sad and the taste is the crab cake wasn't good, sauce was good thou. Steak and chimichurri amazing, fritters was good. Wedge salad very good.

RusTeak is a classic experience every time we go. Their happy hour specials are perfect for an after work meet up with friends or quick date night. I love the ambience of the restaurant and the live music that they host on some evenings is an added bonus. Every meal here has never let us down!

Last visit was hopefully out of the norm, but enough of a bad experience that we won't return for a while. Server was rude, rushed us. Didn't top off drinks or ask if we wanted another round. Food was not up to par with what this location has delivered in the past. Maybe it was an off day

I had always been wanting to go here for a few years, liked the menu and finally went to the new location in Ocoee. The space seems very nice, great for a date night, patio dining as well. Walked in and people were eating full meals with children in the waiting area which seemed odd. The hostess was not there and there was an employee who wasn't welcoming and had such a sour face. We thought maybe she was going to ask us anything but just shrugged her shoulders and gestured that someone is over there to come and check us in. The bar is right in front so we waited. She came and asked if we had reservations and we did. The door to go outside gets stuck so she forced it open, very dirty looking door, and sat us in front of it on the patio. After a few minutes our server came and offered drinks, they don't have modelo or corona but that's okay. We ordered 4 apps. He brought plates and as a server, please, don't put your fingers on the top plate and put them down. It's incredibly dirty and should always have a napkin between your fingers and the plate. Apps came and crab cakes were crispy on the outside and it comes right off of the crab and it definitely should not do that, the edamame was very good, the jam jar tasted good, the pretzels, too hard on the outside but still edible. Next ordered 2 filets, a side salad, double mashed potatoes, 2 wedge salads one with chicken and one with shrimp. Side salad came and my wedge with shrimp and two sides of mashed potatoes that look like oatmeal or grits. The mashed potatoes didn't make any sense why they came out without the filet. Then the rest came out. As a sever, please stop reaching over someone's food, just come around to the other side of the table! The filets looked thick and overcooked on the outside. My husband ordered medium well and it came out medium rare. Our server was missing and we had to ask a few times for refills. My husband sent the steak back and a manager brought it back out after a few moments. Same steak which was fine but it looks more burnt on the outside and he had to ask for another side of mashed potatoes. No steak sauce in the entire restaurant. They had run out so we asked if they could possibly make a sauce to dip our charred filet in, He brought out a red wine reduction type anjus sauce which was really not good. My shrimp wedge was flavorful and the shrimp were large. The chicken wedge looked okay as well. Manager never checked back or even waited to see if it was okay, didn't apologize or even offer dessert. We asked for a refill from the person who brought out my husband his mashed potatoes, for a refill of iced tea and he said he will get our server. He came after stating it took awhile because he had to brew more tea. No offer of an after dinner drink or dessert at all. Incredibly disappointing to say the least! Also forget about clearing plates as you go because that never happened until we literally handed them off. Also, the door is right in front of us so the staff constantly struggles with opening the door with full hands! The door was beyond filthy from the plates and drinks being spilled on it because they struggle opening it. I did pay the 237.00 bill for our party of 4 and still tipped because it's the right thing to do but wow, how incredibly disappointing. I know they don't care and really don't expect them to, but hire better people to give diners a great experience because fancy plates and ambience aren't going to be enough if people feel cheated in this economy. Zero friendly faces and this experience is what makes people stay home instead.

What can I say, I've been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I'm looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn't. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I'm not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you'll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy.

I miss the old Rusteak was better. This new location is cute BUT the menu is limited and the food prices were higher. Our order was ok and not something we'd necessarily go out of our way to go to again. We miss some of their classics like bread pudding and other appetizers. Service was good but food offerings could be improved.

I went to Rusteak thinking that Ru"Steak" would be a steak house with a high quality steak. Boy was I wrong. I ordered the New York strip, which was the most expensive steak on the menu, celebrating my anniversary, and it was the most flavorless chewy tough hockey puck I've ever been served at a restaurant. And I wasn't alone, I looked around and saw many other diners sending their steaks back due to the poor quality. Because of that the vibes were off and everyone was just trying to get out of there. I've had better food at the JFK airport We also ordered the shrimp and rice bowl, which was OK, but it was way over sauced and gave me a stomachache through the rest of the night The appetizers were OK, but because of the low quality meal, my girlfriend did break up with me thanks, Rusteak

This restaurant was aesthetically pleasing to me. Such a nice chill & fun atmosphere. Me and my friend stopped by on Saturday where they had a live musician. They have a huge selection of wine & liquor! I can't remember the exact name of the cocktails we ordered as everything on the menu had a fun spectacular name but the purple signature cocktail l was our fav! For food we ordered lobster tacos with a side of mash potatoes & Traditional cheese burger with sweet potato fries. The lobster tacos were amazing & so were the mashed potatoes. I've had better American cheese burgers, I feel the meat was lacking flavor maybe a pinch more of salt and pepper would've solved the issue. We sat at the bar and our server was amazing I belong his name was Ken! Very nice and knowledgeable

I've been meaning to write this the past few weeks. Came in and sat at the bar. Had called ahead to see what the fresh fish was and the hostess said snapper. Ordered the fish sandwich and confirmed with the bartender it was snapper. After awhile... two fish sandwiches come out that immediately did not look like snapper. Thick, grey, RUBBERY... Asked the bartender and she states it is mutton snapper. OK - if done correctly, that would be ok. I take a bite and literally have to put in my napkin. At the same time, my husband unlids the bun and takes his knife to it and it won't even slice (like a terrible piece of meat). We inform the bartender who was actually cool about it and says - yeah, fish should not look like that. The manager comes over, takes them back to the kitchen, comes back and only talks to the bartender. She hands us two menus and says - well, would you like to order something else. (order something but you will still be PAYING for it). We opted to pay for our drinks and just leave. Manager comes back again and loudly says to a server behind us - hey, 86 the snapper we are THROWING it all out it's no good. The fish is now halibut. The manager NEVER spoke to us until we were leaving he gives us a head nod and says "sorry about the fish". No explanation. No offer to provide a substitute. I'm truly done with this Rusteak. This is literally the second in a row bad experience between sub par food and sub par service. The time before I came with a group of 6 girlfriends and everyone had "mixed" reviews with the majority 4/6 not loving their food. I'm done with this hit or miss experience. Peace out Rusteak....

Eekk. I was sad when Rus Teak by us closed down. Decide to give this one a shot. Definitely love the interior way more than the old one. Nice and modern. The arch lighting is a nice touch. Other than that It's the same great food. The part we missed most about Rus Teak was the cocktails! That strawberry JinJam LOL. Always a sweet treat. You could never taste the alcohol. I'm glad to see this place didn't let us down with the cocktails. Our waitress was super friendly too. Burgers are just as good as we remembered . Will be back

Best brunch in Orlando! Love the staff. Brunch is new on Sunday. You have to try it. Ask for Nick. He's a great bartender that will find the drink you like!

Desastrous: food poisoning, very long wait very subpar food We ate at Rusteak last night. We were seated within minutes when we were first told there would be a 30 minute wait and were put on a wait list, good thing we did not walk out....or so we think....it would have been better for us. We waited upward of 45 minutes between our order and the food delivery and tgat is after we called the waiter seeveral times a and then he started avoiding eye contact with us....so the manager appeared to tell us that our order had been out 27 minutes,(no, no over 45 minutes!!!!) and that was beyond the internal 25 minutes in house limit so dud we want drinks on him. My husband took a glass of merlit and our food was brought in: welllllllllll. My keto keto!!! Was very subpar! The salmon was burned on the outside (had to remove all the bitter burnt exterior) and was overcooked. The cauliflower casserole was dry, room temperature and had NO SALT at all. The 2 little pieces of brow bacon are not even worth my comments. Only decent thing on ate were the asparagus! My husband burger was ok but his fries were also room temperautre!!!temperature!!!! We left without taking a dessert. During the night my husband had to go back and forth to the toilet with food poisoning....I will spare you the details!!! This is the 2nd time this happens. We had stopped going to Rusteak after that first food poisoning incident when they were still on Maguire Rd. Well it seems like they are still dealing with poor hygiene or food chain preservation in their kitchen. We will never return to RUSTEAK!!!!

Despite it being a late hour on a Sunday, I was able to order food promptly and enjoy watching the game on television. Even with the move further into suburbia, this is still a great spot.

This new space (new to me) that RusTeak has is beautiful. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the lighting and the whole vibe. The staff were attentive and friendly. Happy hour is really a great deal so roll up before 7pm. My tacos may have had too much in them (I ate some meat out of the taco first) but I enjoyed every bite I took and left nothing on my plate.

Plenty of parking. Has bar and tables. Some outdoor tables. They allow dogs. They recently updated their menu and the drink menu. Love their seasonal offerings. I always ask the waiter what drink to order. Happy hour is 4-7pm 25% off drinks and apps. It used to feel more busy in summer. Love the cauliflower bites. - I think it's deep fried, they are filling. Theres allot of seafood on the menu. The burgers look amazing. We got the shrimp skewer app : not as hot or crispy as we wanted. The black and blue crostins are a fun bite. Will be back to try the tofu /vegan options

Atmosphere: 5/5 Love the new setting of Rusteak, it's airy, trendy and has a more upscale feel than the former location. Service: 5/5 The service remains impeccable. Our service was super friendly and very attentive. Definitely makes you feel valued. Food: 3/5 The food is nice but not stellar. Our dishes sounded great conceptually but fell slightly short when it came to execution.

It was ok...super noisy with the open dinning concept. Since it's really the only place in the area isn't fast food. The locals flocks to it. Our server was great. TIP: Call ahead to see if you need a reservation.

Tommy and I were amazed again tonight on how accommodating RusTeak is for vegan requests. We stopped to just have their Kung Pao Cauliflower and a glass of wine by since we weren't that hungry. Glad we decided to try a few other items. Our server Chris, was wonderful on passing on our ideas to Head Chef CJ. I originally thought I wanted to try a vegan risotto, but Chris shared Chef CJ was working on a new vegan appetizer, ceviche. Glad I wanted to see how this was since I loved traditional ceviche before I became vegan. It was delicious. With a base of tostones, which I adore, and was cooked crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, it had a ceviche topping of marinated tofu, red & green peppers, onions, and avocados. The red sauce was perfect. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing what vegan magic Chef CJ can do for you. Don't worry, Tommy isn't vegan, and he says their other options are awesome.

This was the best restaurant experience I have had in a long while. The steak fries was perfection! The asparagus was just the right texture and the kung pao cauliflower was unlike anything I have ever tasted. The service was very professional and prompt. ​

The food is pricey but everything is amazing. The ambiance is perfect for date night or even to hang out with friends. The service is amazing. It can be very busy so I'd recommend making a reservation before you go but you can walk in as well if you don't mind waiting.

RusTeak really impressed me with their take on a casual but somewhat upscaled modern American restaurant. Bright and open atmosphere but also comfortable. Yummy and inspired menu items where I wanted to try almost everything (and everything we ordered was great) and attentive service. Can't wait to try it again soon!

I visited Rusteak for a dinner date. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she gave us recommendations. The food didn't quite deliver for me. We got the pretzel rolls which were good, but there wasn't enough cheese in my opinion. I got the filet later. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium-well, which was pretty disappointing for a $45 dish. The mashed potatoes weren't really flavorful or particularly creamy. My cocktail was also kind of overly sweet for my taste. I docked 2 stars overall for the food.

Ordered three entrees to go. Italian press, steak frites, and a wedge salad. What a disaster. Told it would be 25-30 mins. Show up around 30 mins. Tell them I have a to go order and the three hostesses had no idea a to go order was even placed. Then they say they found it and food wasn't ready. No timeline. So I'm standing waiting, 10 minutes goes by, I decide to sit in their lounge. 25 mins have gone by and no one has updated me. No one said sorry about the wait. No one offered me even a water while I wait. Food finally comes out and it sits at the front. I walk up and ask if it's mine and sure enough it was. If I hadn't, probably would have sat there. Well presumably since the food just came out everything should be fresh right? Wrong. Get home (0.35 miles from restaurant) and the fries with the Italian press were soggy. The sandwich was soggy and cold. The wedge salad was made on romaine not a wedge and did not have blue cheese dressing but balsamic. While it says it on the menu, that's not what a wedge salad traditionally is. The steak frites also came slightly undercooked and the fries that were given were potato wedges, not frites. The long wait was baffling since they only had 4-5 tables. The customer service was terrible. The food, disappointing.
