Rustic Café

Stopped in for Linner after a day at the mall. Wanted to try a new restaurant down here as we are traveling to Midland more but like to stay in Odessa. Waitress was mostly friendly, although seemed perturbed we came in between the lunch and dinner rush! We were the only customers in the building for almost 45 mins. Food was prepared fairly fast and was delivered hot n fresh. Large portions of chicken fried steak, it was pretty good. Onion rings were lightly battered and seasoned well, their French fries were seasoned nicely too. Bacon was crunchy, pancakes soft and fluffy! Overall 5*, we would eat here again.

Brought my family here for breakfast and lunch an it was absolutely great. Staff was nice an friendly. Fast service an everything was perfect no mistakes. Everyone enjoyed an loved their food.

I would love to give 5 stars because the food and staff are fantastic, and the prices are fair . But sadly waiting 45min for bacon and eggs is not where its at . The amount of people coming through this place has picked up tremendously and in a very full restaurant there were only 2 servers and 2 cooks doing their absolute best to keep up. I have nothing bad to say about them. PLEASE HIRE MORE STAFF , we want to keep coming but waiting so long to get our food is definitely a deterrent !!

5-24-2022: I ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy, with Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes as the sides. I ordered the boneless BBQ wings & the brisket queso as the appetizers. For dessert I ordered a oreo shake which was amazing and sweet. Overall the food was decent quality but nothing too amazing honestly, I did order my food through the online ordering to go. The restaurant it self is nice inside and out and the staff was friendly.

Delicious comfort food. Prompt service and very attentive. I’ve sampled a few plates here. Brisket queso was good, but the sweet BBQ sauce does overwhelm the queso. Biscuits and sausage gravy was damn delicious. Their bacon cheeseburger and chicken fried steak were good, but I’ll probably stick to their chopped sirloin with brown gravy and sautéed onions. Hand battered onion rings and mac & cheese are possibly their 2 best sides. Ranch potatoes weren’t ideal for me, but the table did like them. Waffles are tastier than pancakes, plus Rustic serves their syrup hot which is great. Their omelet was delicious with very fluffy eggs.
