Rustler’s Rooste - Phoenix

We had a party of eight for my brother's birthday. Unfortunately, they didn't have any reservations available for the Saturday we wanted, but they suggested we arrive at 4:00 PM as a workaround. Dinner service starts at 4:30 PM, but the bar opens at 4:00 PM. I'm glad we got there at 4:00 PM because the line filled up quickly. The atmosphere, the vibe, the service, and the live band made for a fun experience. The food was decent overall. The sides that came with the meal—baked beans, carrots, and corn—were left untouched on each plate. I think they had potential but didn't taste very good. I ordered the Tenderfoot filet cooked medium. It was flavorful but unfortunately overcooked. The baked potato was delicious. We also had nachos with brisket, which were very tasty and my personal favorite. We tried the cowboy plate, ribeye, rotisserie chicken, and jalapeño mac and cheese. Everyone enjoyed their main dishes, but the sides were a letdown. We purchased a birthday package for $20, which included a nine-layer cake, a hat, a bandana, and a shout-out from the band. It was a fun touch, and the cake was delicious. We also received free cotton candy, which I thought was a nice bonus. Overall, it was a great experience for the price!

The BBQ ribs are absolutely amazing—full of flavor and generous portions. We also ordered the wings, which were large and equally tasty. The meal includes sides like carrots, corn, and fried bread. We had plenty of leftovers! The ambiance is wonderful, the staff is friendly, and there's a balloon artist who adds to the family-friendly experience. The view is stunning, especially at sunset. You really should check it out!

Incredible atmosphere! Our large group, mostly from Canada, was in town for training, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptionally attentive—not just to us, but to everyone around us. It was clear that everyone was having a great evening. We highly encourage anyone visiting Phoenix, Arizona, to check out this restaurant. You won't be disappointed; we couldn't stop talking about it!

A quirky spot! While the food isn't the best, the atmosphere certainly is. The service is quick, which is a plus. I’d recommend going for appetizers and drinks for a fun date night or a girls' night out. The salad (dressed with ranch) and beef are served family style. The complimentary bread was definitely the highlight of the meal! There’s also a slide that the kids absolutely love. Plus, they offer live music and free cotton candy after dinner! Be sure to check their website for a great kids' menu. They’re fantastic for groups, and they're conveniently located right behind the Arizona Grande Resort. Definitely worth a visit!

We visited friends in Phoenix and decided to eat at this restaurant, which we had enjoyed many years ago when my son lived here. Unfortunately, our experience last night was quite disappointing. The salmon had a rubbery texture and had to be sent back. The steak was the toughest filet I’ve ever encountered. Honestly, it felt more like something you’d find at a two-star buffet. It’s surprising that the place was so packed, but I personally wouldn’t choose to eat here again, especially with so many other options in the city.
