Very busy got seated quickly, but kinda forgotten about. Owner too busy to answer a question then asked if we wanted to buy the place as he walked by. Loud music prevented us to talk. Food was OK.Don't go between 630-730.

Great place for pizza and apps. If you are from Mass, their pizza is a good North Shore style or an excellent South Shore style, just as a perspective. We have tried many of the pizza places on Main St. throughout the years and none come close to Rustic River.

Best pizza my husband and I have ever had and we grew up around New Haven, CT and spent a lot of time in Manhattan. Pizza was absolutely perfect in every way.

Beware, the menu they have on their website it outdated, prices are not accurate. A burger was $4.00 more than on the website, which I understand due to the cost, but they best post an updated menu.... And if you order take out and plan on going back to a hotel, make sure you have plates, napkins, oh, and even ketchup for your fries... Wasn't impressed with their take out.

Visited from out of town, very hungry and ordered take-out. I was told to come pickup in 15mins. I specifically asked for dressing on the side for our salads and steak tips well done. When we got back to our rental, there was no salad dressings and steak tips were raw. Salads were disappointing!! We were so tired from our travels we didn't go back and quite honestly, probably won't either. For now on, I will double check to make sure we have what we order at any restaurant.

It's a great small town restaurant with (aptly named) rustic vibe. Good food for a reasonable price.We had fries, onion rings and a pizza with 2 toppings. Fried were hand-crafted and quite crispy. Onion rings, no complains.The pizza though! Slightly chewy base, we'll cooked but a slight turn off for me was the cheese. Idk, the taste felt more "packaged-cheese" than Dominos.Could have been a four star, but the limited selection of drinks and some slack in service we received (forgot our beers order) takes one star.But won't hesitate to visit again! The patio is amazing!! Awesome views!!

Sat evening visit 6:30. Was pretty quiet yet waited a while for being acknowledged. Once seated we were greeted by "Jaylen". she was pleasant but not knowledgeable about offerings. Mom had Fried Haddock w/fries, Uncle: Chic, Ziti, Broc, hubby and I split a pizza and Chic Caesar salad. The food was good and plentiful! My issues and reason for the 3 stars is the lack attn by server. Never offered ketchup, salt& pepper, or butter for the rolls and gave us 2 napkins for 4 ppl. What? I had to ask for all that and 3 times for a plate for hubby and I to share the salad. He ate his pizza from a napkin! I know it difficult to find help these days, but seriously if you're serving fries is ketchup rocket science?

We had a very yummy meat lovers pizza ? and Blue Moons! Such a cool Vibe! Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, good variety, and reasonable prices. We definitely recommend Rustic River!

No frills, just decent food and drink. Possibly the best steak tips north of Boston! But that's up to you to decide... everyone's tastes are different! Stop in, have a beer and decide for yourself!
Place is not worth the nonsense. Second bad experience. This place is horrible 3 hour wait and blames you for waiting.Really. Owner was asked how long we would be waiting and said "he'd know better than to bring two kids to a restaurant" because he also has twins. When we eventually got a table we waited an hour and 20 minutes before our marks came out. Again we asked why it was taking so long as other people's food was coming out we were told again that we were crazy for waiting. No apology, no free drink or app. Just " well it's your fault not mine". Customers are always wrong here I guess. Needless to say we'll go elsewhere when visiting because of this owner and his rudeness.

So glad to see this place open, like many small businesses they have had there struggles after COVID-19. They have a nice deck with great river views. They also have a large outside dining that is practically on the swift river. Great spot to relax outside after a day in the beautiful white mountains.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu available

Being handicapped I research places before going. The menu offered was not the one on the website. The rude wait staff informed us they had no control over the website. When it was pointed out that they should she stated that most customers were understanding and nice about this and others were not. Indicating that I was not. When walking into the restaurant was difficult physically and difficult breathing and finding out that the food I wanted to have was not available ( completely different menu) to be called rude was uncalled for. I was not pleased. There were several staff members standing watching with great interest It was if the interaction was entertaining to them. Perhaps some training is needed but I will never return.

Very nice atmosphere with memorabilia decor. Delicious steak tips and onion rings! Off the beaten path of busy Lincoln,
