My son and I were very disappointed to find that the Rusty Can's idea of cheese was not cheese at all, but a Velveeta-like soft spread. Don't order anything with this "cheese" on it. Otherwise, OK food.

I’ve eaten at hundreds of spots in the area this place is the rudest. The women doing take out was just talking non stop to her buddies. As I waited for my food I noticed 3 to go bags sitting on the table I assumed she would tell me when my order was done but 5 minutes go by and she finally told me one of those was mine. I picked it up , told her have a good day and said nothing back . Cocky place, rude attitude and food was 6 out of 10 I will not go back thanks

WOW! Why haven't I been to this remarkable BBQ spot till last week??!!! This is a no frills place and I like it. It's literally right off the highway with ample parking. I came here on Friday and there was a little wait but it wasn't that long, maybe 15 min. They also do not take any reservations which is good because they want your whole party there before seating you. Now lets get down to the food.. McRib- Was sooo good! Kind of like the Mcdonalds one but way better and of course with real meat and super fresh. The pickles went very well with the pork. Pork belly & chicken tacos- These bad boys were the highlight for me. The pork belly was cooked so well and went well with the pork. I literally killed both of those tacos in less than 5 min lol. Chicken salad- Was huge... nothing to really write about its just chicken and salad lol. Trust me guys, give this place a try and you'll love it.

If you want to wait the better part of an hour to be made like you're bothering the staff and listening to the manager (owner?) swear at customers.... Well then, the food is super good.

Best brisket around. Such an unsuspecting place, but really great BBQ. Get the brisket bomb if it’s available!!

This place is absolutely disgusting, why they have bbq bottles not covered or cleaned is beyond me. Ruined my appetite to say the least. Bacteria is no joke for an open container to be open alll day long and not cleaned. Never will I come back here hopefully I don’t get food poisoning.

Good barbecue. This has been in our restaurant rotation for a long time! Friendly staff and great pork.

Keep it moving. Rusty in the name tells the story. Visited once and will never forget the bad vibe experience; food was marginal at best. People want to want to believe this gin mill on the map is some official hoedown country western BBQ experience. Its a poor excuse to drink and as an authentic Wisconsin farmer's daughter, I'm suggesting Texas Roadhouse or Cracker Barrel as step-up alternatives and that's being extremely kind. Go or stay away but don't lie to yourself or others and don't drink and drive.

Probably the best BBQ I’ve had in New England, and a great value. Had a platter of 5 ribs, 2 huge sides, cornbread, white bread and pickles/onions for $26. Absolutely worth a trip.

Great for takeout or casual dining. BEST BBQ on this side of the Mason Dixon line! Authentic southern smoked meats. Delicious cornbread and my favorite is the brisket! Can't go wrong dinning here!
