About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions

Partners and long-time friends, Ryan Hines and Jay Kulas believe that the most important moments in life are about building relationships and usually involve a great meal.

Stripping away the formalities of the typical dining experience, The Rustic Spoon is serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch while focusing on quality local ingredients, family recipes, warm service and a relaxed causal ambiance. Rooted in family, friends and food they offer diners a one of a kind atmosphere to enjoy comfort food recipes with a modern and local twist.

    We dined here for Easter Brunch and promptly made reservations for Mother's Day. Half of the table opted for Breakfast, selecting Waffles with fresh berries and classic Benedicts, while the others preferred Lunch and thoroughly enjoyed savory Meatloaf over Mashers and the delicious Burgers. The menu boasts an array of options to suit every palate. Service is exceptional, and it is evident that they value their customers, as the Owner personally welcomes you upon arrival and departure. This establishment is a local favorite that consistently delivers a high-quality experience.

    This restaurant never disappoints! From the greeters at the front door, the servers and the Manager/Owner stopping by, it’s a great experience. This time, one of our guests had never dined here before and was impressed with the quality, the temperature and plate presentation. We highly recommend this local restaurant with a unique spin on classic family recipes to cutting edge cuisine and cocktails.

    Highly recommend as every dish I’ve had is amazing. This time I had the ultimate comfort meatloaf and it was so moist and I loved the seasonings. I think they must grind the locally sourced beef and pork with seasonings. If I had the recipe I’d make that my go to!! Peanut butter pie was creamy and oh so good with all the chocolate crumbles too. Wait staff and bartender were super sweet and attentive. Feels like a neighborhood fav!

    Sunday Brunch! Delicious.....as always...... one had a huge omelet, one had fluffy pancakes, one had the Rustic Burger and one had a salmon salad. ALL WERE GREAT! We had a variety of foods at our table and everything was perfect. That is hard to do in most restaurants, but Rustic Spoon has mastered it. We love coming here for meals and it's always a favorite when we have guests, because we can count on them being served a wonderful dish! Thanks Rustic Spoon! :-)

    First time here and will definitely be back! I want to try the whole menu, everything we ordered was so yummy and everyone else’s food around us looked really great too! We went for Valentine’s Dinner and got the calamari to start, then the potato crusted salmon and the seafood pasta. All very tasty!
