Three of us went on a Sunday and sat in the restaurant area (not the bar). Our server was nice, maybe new or inexperienced, but we weren’t in a hurry. They had an End of Summer menu which was very limited, burger or walleye, so we all got burgers. Really good burger, charbroiled and cooked medium the way we like it (even though we weren’t asked) but the only issue was the bun. Too thin so it fell apart almost immediately. Came with kettle chips. Overall good meal. Drinks were good.

The Rusty Cup is a great place to enjoy a relaxing dinner and drink with a BEAUTIFUL view of the lake! The have a wonderful drink menu with a wide variety of Moscow Mules! I HIGHLY recommend the walleye sandwich and the hangover burger! Service was GREAT with a fun atmosphere.
Vegetarian options: They have a lovely veggie beyond burger and an amazing house salad.
Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for kids.

Hate to pile on, but this place was ridiculous. Give the poor waitress a list of the beers you don't have before sending her to tables so she doesn't have to come back three separate times. Our appetizers arrived, but we had no plates, utensils, or napkins, and it took a stupid amount of time to get them. We had to order from the "special" menu and were over-charged. Even after bringing it to staff's attention, the new bill still overcharged us for some items. We couldn't get away fast enough. Go anywhere but here.

Foodies beware! 1st time I ever walked out of a restaurant after receiving food! First, they did not have their regular menu. They had a limited selection menu because of Blueberry festival. They tried to tell us it was a "special" menu. They had only about 5 or 6 things you could order, none being even close to "special"! Waited for at least 40-45 minutes for burgers and fries. We were asked how we wanted them cooked, told them "medium". Burgers were black, dry, and hard like hockey pucks. Fries were cold. Never brought out our salad and all of our burgers / meals were unedible. The waitress told us because they don't use fresh meat (only frozen) that the burgers had to be cooked that way. Wow! Are you serious? We all got up and walked out. Worst dining experience ever.Dont waste time or money on this place, they do not have a clue what they are doing!

Worst place. Waited 45 minutes food was so bad we all walked out. Waitress was a ... Idiot. Eat anywhere else. Menu had 4 items food overcooked and cold ???? F this place
Not open. No calls accepted ?♀️
Disappointing and overpriced. Our waitress seemed sweet but didn't write anything down and made many mistakes with our order, including mistakes that we were upcharged for. She didn't ask how we wanted the burger cooked and it was way overcooked. We were seated below a speaker and couldn't hear because the music was so loud. The bar staff's response to us asking to turn it down was to turn it louder and laugh.

Took an hour and a half to get a side salad only to bring out the wrong one. Plus took them 5 min between drinks to only say they didn’t have it. Plus the food is way over priced.

Their ads and website all said they were open til 4 on Sunday but they were closed. The bar was fine but not what we wanted

Friendly service, good food, I will be back.
Meh. Chicken and wild rice soup was too salty. Parmesan Pancho crusted walleye was bland, very little 'snap' to the crust. Wild rice was chewyer than normal. Brussel sprouts were fine. Not worth the $31 IMO.
