Customer Reviews
This is our go to when visiting Del Webb Naples and Panther Run Golf Course. We continue to have a great experience at the Rusty Putter! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere overlooking the golf course made the meal even better. The staff was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I also appreciate that the automatic 20% gratuity is clearly noted throughout the menu—no surprises at all. Overall, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal.
Love the ambience atmosphere is nice. Very friendly. The service was great. I like that they have a lot of specials throughout the day, which is good because on different days you could get specials. The food is just OK nothing to write home about, but I would go back because of the atmosphere and the food is decent not the best. The only reason why I gave this three stars instead of four, which I will change the stars to four if they change their tip policy, I agree with some of the previous reviews. It is absolutely horrible that they don’t let you know that they are including a tip. That’s why the service is so friendly because if you don’t see that the tip is in the bill you will give them an extra tip. It’s such a scam if they are going to include a tip into the bill they should let y
The food was good and our server was great, but the billing practice left a bad taste. For a table of four, the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity, yet still included a blank line for a tip. If you’re not paying close attention, it’s very easy to double-tip by accident (as we did). This feels very deceptive, and it’s not the kind of experience I expect when dining out. At the very least, they should clearly inform patrons verbally that the tip has already been included.
Had small Cobb salad and Snapper. My husband had fish tacos and onion rings. The food was very fresh and full of great flavor! Excellent service. Highly recommend.
"We were a party of two. The food was good and the view is great! But like other customers have mentioned, the automatic 20% gratuity is a bad idea because we didn't get good service. It wasn't even busy, yet our server actually disappeared on us. You really should train your servers better if you’re going to charge a mandatory tip. I’ve noticed only Miami spots do this because of the tourists."
