“ This is always a great place for dinner. Awesome onion rings. I loved their jalapeno grilled chicken sandwich. Grilled jalapenos with onions, melted cheese, crispy bacon topped with cool tomatoes & lettuce on toast bun. It's a big sandwich. The husband always gets the chicken fried steak dinner with your choice of 2 sides. ”

“ A wonderful restaurant with an enjoyable atmosphere for small or large groups. Emily took fabulous care of us. We ordered the daily special pulled BBQ pork with baked beans and coleslaw. The beans were sweet and delicious. The coleslaw tasted fresh and crunchy and paired perfectly with the smoked pork served on a fresh butter toasted, for crunch, bun. A side of fresh cut pickles made the best taste mix. We also ordered the jalapeno burger with fries and a BBQ sandwich dry with fries. Everything was hot and delicious. They have a pickles machine and great music. The inside is tastefully decorated for a country style feel. Great service and clean. We will be back. A nice short drive from Omaha for a great meal. ”
“ The food was amazing. The service was spot on. Recommend the best onion rings in town! The burger was big and juicy and the fries were crispy. If you want a lighter salad, the sweet berry chicken salad was fresh and filling. There has never been anything on the menu the family has never liked. Great rustic atmosphere. Worth the drive out of town to this great gem. ”
“ Our waitress was great. Efficient and friendly and helpful. The hot roast beef sandwich was excellent, nice and hot and plenty of sliced beef. My husband's pork tenderloin was just slightly overdone but he said it still was good. ”
“ Praise the Lord!! We went on a double date here tonight with our friends and had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious. The portions were plentiful. The service was friendly, our waitress Savannah was great and the restaurant was immaculate. We’re going to tell all our church people about this restaurant and we will definitely be eating there again. See you next time Amy. ”
“ First visit to the Rustic. Impressed is my overall experience. Met some friends for a brunch. Old Cafe style atmosphere. Situated I Fort Calhoun, a not to far away charming old town feel. Service was quick and over the top. Food was excellent. Our group got breakfast, burgers, and even a dinner. The onion rings are the best I've had in the Omaha area. I will highly recommend this to my family and friends. If you haven't given it a try I suggest your make it a destination today! ”
