“Rustic Kitchen is hands down one of the best dining experiences at Mohegan Sun. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale — warm lighting, inviting décor, and an energy that makes you feel welcome right away.

The food is outstanding. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the seafood was fresh, and the steak was absolutely spot-on. You can tell the chefs take real pride in what they serve.

Service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire evening.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or a pre-casino meal, Rustic Kitchen delivers every time. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“My family and I had some friend over Saturday evening and wanted to keep it simple with pizza. Our order was a plain, pepperoni and a grandma. As usual every pie was so fresh and delicious. My favorite will always be the grandma, just the right amount of pesto oil, thin and crispy. While I forget his name, the tall gentleman with glasses, who I assume is the manager, is always so polite and keeps things moving behind the counter. Dino’s will always be a pizza that I enjoy and highly recommend!!!!“

Very pleased with this Sunday dinner. Mozzarella sticks, garlic broccoli, and Bread! and oh, the fettuccine side I ordered will definitely be ordered again. Greeter was wonderful and told me, next time call in the order rather than through 3rd party, saves BUNCHES of money :)“

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“The buns must have come right out of the oven when I placed my order for my primo sized American cold cut hoagie with lettuce, tomato,onion, and oil and vinegar. It was made with the bun being very warm and that it ruined the whole taste of my hoagie. It melted the cheese to a soggy texture like when a hoagie sits outside on a hot day. A cold cut doesn't mean warm bun. And I didn't ask for a baked hoagie. I was going to take it back in, but I was so pressed for time. But I just took it apart and ate what I liked or what tasted ok. When I did a review on my Primo app, they asked for the ticket number. I'm going to check my truck it might be in there. I believe it was last Monday evening, 7pm. I am not from the area, but I used to stop at the previous location on Rt 309 a lot it was convenient.“

“Very accommodating, big portions, upfront about availability, friendly service, even though I went there before the evening rush, I didn't feel like I would be there forever because it was slow. I took my French fries to go and wasn't charged for modifications to my spaghetti dinner. There was a completely cheese-free pizza but I guess it didn't sell well. Personally, I miss it.“
