I love the rustic! such a family oriented environment, and the best onion rings out there! Grew up going and have many lovely memories with my cousins and parents.

I absolutely love this place. they have the best jalapeno burger / chicken jalapeno sandwich. love it both. The onion rings come in big portions! i can never finish them. i really recommend the desserts, the apple pie is so good especially with the whipped cream 😋😋. deliciousss. i love taco tuesday the tacos are good size, 1 is enough for me! and also good specials through out the entire week! those 3 side dinners sell me so fast! please go visit the Rustic i recommend this place 10/10 the owner is great very nice such a charm!

Great spot for a group to meet for food and drinks. Even though we drove in 10 miles from Omaha, we still ran into two different groups that we knew. The pulled pork has a fantastic rich smokey taste. Onion rings sparked a debate about who has the best rings in the area. These are in the conversation, depending on how thick you like the onions cut.

I've been a regular at the Rustic for years. Very good atmosphere that fits the small town vibe. The food is typical bar food. Good burgers, fries, sandwiches. They offer steak and broasted chicken which is also very good.

My only complaint is that they charge $3.29 for soda water. That's a money grab in my book as they classify it as pop on the ticket. It's water.

I continue to go there as I've never had a bad meal there and always feel welcomed.

Five years ago during the Covid fiasco I left a neg review because the housekeeping was not up to par. I am here to amend it.Things have changed at the rustic. Its is clean and neat. Still has the rustic charm but the food is great and the tacos are the best in the metro. I enjoy the adult waitresses who are friendly and efficient. We eat there regularly on taco Tuesdays. The drive to Fort Calhoun is enjoyable and restaurant is from times past. Great food, very enjoyable. I recommend it.

Wear a parka. It is 65 degrees. I asked for the temp to be adjusted and was told they can't. They said it will be warmer later. I said I'm here now. Tough.
I ordered liver and onions, an unusual item but on the menu, it was terrible. Way over cooked.
We go at least monthly, not anymore. I won't be back.

I've been looking for a place with good broasted chicken. They had the juiciest I have ever eaten. I will definitely be back for more.

First time to Rustic Inn as we passed through Fort Calhoun. Staple to small Nebraska town.

Visited during lunch, busy with locals, able to find a table and get served immediately. Staff friendly, very service orientated.

Food: almost all food is made in-house, including the dressing for our salad. Flavorful, seasoned well. The pulled pork (made in-house) was AMAZING! Best we’ve had all year - best Kansas City, Dallas and St. Louis. Must try!

Atmosphere is pleasant - able to easily converse, listen to music and enjoy meal. Maybe would be louder at night (dinner time), but for lunch, on this day, we had no issues with noise level.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting The Rustic - small time staple!

Our waiter, Mike is this most personable waiter that I know. What a treat to have him and chit chat with throughout the evening. Our food was better than my mom’s ! And Mike told my wife and I that the owner does the cooking on Mondays. How cool is that. ❤️👍🏻😃
