The Sundown Tavern — Restaurant in Ruston

The staff was rude we rode 2 hrs to go there Food orders in our group were messed up, although we did have a large group of us. So I can understand a little mess up. I noticed others didn't finish their food. We ordered a side of waffle fries the waitress was told we wanted fries, so if we could just get a side of fries it would be great, when she brought it to our table she literally threw them on the table. Ours in our group was not impressed with service either. I need to use the restroom and the outside restroom didn't have lights on, so I went inside because as where the restroom was because someone told me there was one inside the lady rudely told me there is one outside I said the lights were not working, she yelled out to someone to turn breaker on for outside bathroom and then told me ok now you can use the one outside.

She did. She missed 2 out of 4. I love a 45 minute Sunday lunch, but I absolutely despise an hour and a half ordeal being run by a 50 year old with the mental capacity...

Great food and great people. Everything is on the menu and all of it is delicious. You won't regret going. Also some days they have live music.

So today is 02/25/2022 I'm updating my review. I will not be coming back here ever again. I was told I had to pay $5 just to order my food. I was told to order at the bar. But didn't know if I need to go sit back down at my table or wait at the bar. I was yelled at by a man that worked here that I needed to move. The bartenders had an attitude and were rude to me. It was embarrassing, because I had family in town just wanting to order some food. And when are food came out it was the wrong food. I really love this place. But I'm so sad now. I will not be treated like...
