Food: Tasteful dishes yet pricy

A plate of juicy, crispy chicken wings and fluffy waffles, fried catfish seasoned perfectly, and a Belgian waffle, light and fluffy, are the trump cards of Rusty Pot's simple, limited but well-executed menu. But one might find the taste inconsistent and serving sizes tad disappointing, wishing for more. And you may feel the pinch in your wallet.

  • Great Quality

    Full-flavor, freshness widely praised; high-quality, homemade ingredients highlighted.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found meals delicious, yet service or ambiance not up to expectations.

  • Bad Value

    Overpriced for the service and value, quality doesn't match price.

Vibe: Unbecoming ambiance disrupts

The ambiance at Rusty Pot Cafe is often described as bland and uninviting, with a cafeteria like feel that does not encourage a romantic dinner date. The loud kitchen noise, narrow space, and the fact that it’s a bit dull inside, lowers its vibe rating quite significantly.

  • Bad For Dates

    Loud kitchen noise, narrow space, and limited seating disrupt date ambiance.

Perks: Parking woes underwhelm patrons

Metered and timed parking can be a damper on the Rusty Pot Cafe experience. Cramped, limited outdoor seating and long waits, especially for groups, may test your patience, as may the occasionally slow, disorganized service. And if you have kids or dietary restrictions, making a choice can be difficult.

  • Easy To Hear

    Perfect volume R&B, soft music creates a friendly, pleasant atmosphere

  • Bad Service

    Service can be slow, disorganized, and staff occasionally unprofessional.
