Rusty's Grille & Lounge — Restaurant in City of Lloydminster

It was an anniversary supper for us and we decided to go someplace we have not been for a long time. I can say we won't be back for another longer time. The cook uses so much salt it is distasteful. Ordered fish chips. Hand dipped beer batter it said on menu. Very thick batter and not fully deep fried the oil must have been not hot enough to sear seal so the batter soaked up a lot of grease. Wife asked for no mushrooms on her hot hamburger. She got salty mushrooms in the extremely salty gravey paste. The gravey for the fries which was different than the patty paste and first forgotten anyway also very salty. Lumpy and not hot. The appetizer never arrived so i mentioned it and that was removed from the bill. Soup was also over salted. It is supposed to be home cooked style place so we were expecting healthy type food. I know fish and fries isn't healthy anyways and niether is gravey but add Salt salt and more Salt. OMG. Waitress was pleasent but failed to notice the errors. I would have explained during the meal but was not asked except if i wanted more ice tea which maybe helped flush away some salt with sugar water. So much for a healthy supper. It was memorable enough for the experince to last a long long time for us. Honestly, there are much better places to dine in Lloydminster. Maybe it was just the end of shift as i see the web said closed as soon as i arrived at home to post this review. $43 Way more than it should be based on quality. That is our honest observed opinion. Not sure what happened there because i remembered it as being a decent restaurant. Maybe they are more focused on video lottery terminals and bar sales than food quality now. Sad.

PS Billing, The seniors one piece fish is listed as $13 bill shows $17.50 $1.50 less than $19 full regular two piece. $3.50 for a glass of on draft style tap soda pop. Gravey added as extra at $1.50 per extremely small serving cuplette like you would get at a fast food place. Oh well. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. That ain't...

OK! Let me tell you how my breakfast was on Saturday, June 11, 2022. I ordered, what I think was called the pancake Deluxe meal, or something like that, it basically came with two large ( now really large ) pancakes, two eggs, two pieces of meat, in this case I was going for the bacon. As a non-egg eater they were happy to substitute the eggs for two more pieces of meat in this case I chose the breakfast sausage. This meal cost $14 as well as $2.50 for a coffee, I will say in my opinion, this meal, given the portion size, would be worth at top eight dollars with the coffee. The bacon was not your standard bacon it was a flat, thick piece and I’m told either you love it or hate it in this case I hated it, they should really go back to normal standard bacon that is thin, crisp and flavorful. There was one reason and one reason only that I have given this a four star rating. His name is Tanner P. An amazing service provided by him, he was friendly, looked like he was able to delegate several different tables at the same time, and he was attentive. Good job Tanner, they used to be a lady there in the morning, she was the reason I would go, you are definitely a great substitute for her. I will be coming back to try other things, I hope the owners and your boss see this , because you deserve...

Had the "Senior's Veal Cutles": the veal is succulent and cooked with skill, the mash potatoes had a consistant texture and flavoring. It came with steamed veg; not a favourite of mine, but still cooked well. The service was attentive, casual, and pleasant: not even once have I had a disrespectful or inattentive server in this establishment. On that note however, most restaurants keep their staff on a skeleton crew and Rusty's is no exception; the longest wait you might have is to be seated. Usually this is because theres a single waitress working the entire floor. I promise it's worth it, and that you'll walk out with a smile. Things to note: Rusty's has a vibe similar to Humpty's, in which it is not fastfood and comes with proper cooking...
