Rusty's Flavor

I recently went to Rusty, and boy I was disappointed! I ordered a chilli salmon, with bake macaroni, and a Pepsi. I was given piece of salmon and dried up macaroni. I was disgusted, it was warm and disgusting. Also I was charged $27 for a small plate of food. I have a picture to prove it. And just don't understand what happened to them. And I am a long time customer.
And I was at the spot on 7th and between 128th and 127th which was full, and I didn't want to wait, so I went to Rusty on 133rd st.
Rusty please do better, you are a signature in the neighborhood, but you have falling from grace.

Rude rude rude don’t go here

I don’t usually write food reviews but this here I can’t let go of. I usually eat rusty but lately food not cooking long enough. I don’t know who the chef is but this thing to get people sick. Curry chicken raw and pink. Never again!!! Lost a good loyal customer.

I ordered via UberEats on 7/13/25 and it was absolutely amazing! I was skeptical because of all of the negative reviews but my plate was got and fresh. I ordered the curry chicken, cabbage, rice and peas and macaroni and cheese. Everything was seasoned well and very flavorful

Order curry, chicken rice and peas with cabbage, only receive rice and peas and cabbage with no curry chicken horrible service and customer service

This is definitely my spot when I come to visit from NC. The food was delicious, not overpriced, and there is a lot of food.

Best oxtails I've ever had in my life!!! Not to be dramatic, but I could eat this every day.

Ordered the cow foot and rice and peas and the rice was sour. Do better man. Food too expensive to be serving overnight spoil rice. Cool small portions when it done put on a next pot.

If you go late at night, be careful. Anybody can run up on you. Have someone with you.

Customer service was awful. The lady behind the window was so impatient. Everything I ordered was lacking in flavor and they charged us $67 for two plates. I have NEVER paid this much at this location. This use to be the spot that had really good food and decent prices. But now it feels like a cash grab? I will never come back and will tell my friends to avoid this place.

This place has always had poor service, but the food was great, however that is no longer the case. The “famous” oxtail is tough and dry. I actually picked up an order yesterday and there was literally no gravy at all, and the oxtail was inedible. Yams and Mac and cheese made with half effort. This place has really fallen by the wayside, I wonder what happened. I don’t live in the neighborhood so I have gone out of my way to get this in the past, and I will no longer waste my time.

Food was nice ! Went for breakfast 2 days in a row. Ackee and selfish with okra and extra yams. Will return when visiting .

‼️I’ll give them 1star cause I can’t do less. The lady working there at night is the most rude and un respectful person I’ve ever seen selling something, plus she looks like she’s on drugs and overpriced the food, 30$ for one yucky stew?!?! Come on!!! Worst experience ever, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THERE. ❌❌❌

Terrible. Worse than my own cooking. Should’ve known the food was bad once the hospitality was bad. Lady had her airpods in hardly listening anything I said. Rice is bland, Collard greens look BLACK, taste over cooked and salmon is Mediocre. Gave it try to for sum new but I’m sticking to King Barka. Way better EVERYTHING. They need to close this place down to save Harlem citizens. This is the definition of Jamaicans who can’t cook COME TO AMERICA to serve food.

Horrible service! The black girl with the glasses behind the counter, just walked off on me in the middle of me telling her what I wanted. So rude! I stood and watched her as I counted to thirty. I left after that!
