We went there this morning July 4th 2025.They were really super busy so it took a little while to get our food no big deal. Gave me plenty of time to observe the dishonesty of the manager. (the red head) I watched her take tips off of tables that were not hers. I watched her check. People out that were obviously the blond waitresses tables. I watched her put part of the blondes tips in her pocket, the remainder in a drawer that I'm assuming was for the blonde waitress. I ask...read full review
We used to enjoy going here but it has gotten worse and worse over the last year. This last time our pancakes were burned, sausage was cold and scrambled eggs were under cooked. Our waitress paid little attention to guests in general and the cooks could be heard cursing "F" bombs loudly out in the dining room. My wife actually threw up outside as we left. We will not ever be going back to Rusty's.
I recommend you don't go at all.

Rusty's Pancake & Steakhouse offers fantastic food with good-sized portions at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is reminiscent of classic mom and pop diners from decades past, featuring real wood beams and an A-frame roof that adds to its historic charm. The menu may have some typos, but the food is delicious, especially for breakfast, with gluten-free options available. The restaurant provides a cozy, diner-style experience, making it perfect for a casual meal. The staff, including Wynona, generally offer excellent service, and customers enjoy the Watermelon Ring Drink. There is also a lively bar attached that is often busier than the restaurant itself, along with a pool table and gambling slot machines for entertainment. The building is wheelchair accessible, and parking includes both street parking and a large lot. While most visits are enjoyable, some customers have experienced delays or issues, particularly during busy times. Overall, it remains a great spot to relax and enjoy a decent meal without paying too much, with a typical meal for two costing around thirty dollars.
