Reviews for The Rustic Spud Restaurant & Catering in Kingston, ON
Want to start by saying the service was amazing and an easy 10/10. The food itself wasn't great. Started with the Artichoke Dip... - it's not mentioned on the menu but it was HEAVILY infused with garlic. Wasn't bad but also wasn't great. They served it withdripping wet / soggy flatbread that couldn't even scoop up the dip (because it was so saturated with oil). We both got the"Smash Burger" - it's not actually a smash burger. It's just a THICK 7oz patty, so the menu was misleading. The burger itselfwas somehow simultaneously dry and pink. Flavour was bland and really just overpowering garlic, similar to the artichokedip. The food wasn't bad by any means - just bland and somewhat below average with an above average price. Read more
Staff were above and beyond amazing. Hubby stopped for a beer while I got my nails done and we ended with 4 beers, 2 glasses of... wine and some appetizers. Staff were Kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the area (which is nice for a tourist like myself).Food was amazing. Will absolutely visit again. Read more
Food was good , servers were cute and friendly but cooks were lazy ???? burger came with a sticker on my tomato on the burger... and for a 22 dollar burger probably should have made sure it wasnt , it was just cut through so someone else also got stickeralso im guessing . Read more
Wasn't sure at first, but when we started it was great. They allowed our husky on the patio, and even took the effort to... remember her name. The food was exceptional. We got the sweet potato gnocchi, and a burger with fries. I would easily recommendboth. Read more
This by far the worst restaurant in downtown of Kingston. We ordered food and were waiting for almost an hour. It was also... freezing inside and we asked for our food several times, they said as you asked for well-done it takes some time. When theybrought the food it was BURNT, and the lady was insisting that it is not burnt it due the seasoning, it tasted sooo bitter andthe manager agreed that it was burnt. Look at the photo of the plate. NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. Read more
Friendly staff. Food was ok - I've been here twice before but this time I was a little disappointed. The drinks and appetizers... came quickly but the mains seemed to take longer than usual. I had fish tacos. They were luke warm and the fish was a littledry. I've had this dish before and my experience was the opposite. My drink was great. The hostess and our server were veryfriendly and tended to our group's requests immediately. Everyone else felt the same - food not as good as usual but the servicewas. Read more
I'm from out of town, so I'm not sure how this restaurant compares to others in Kingston, but the Rustic Spud is pretty bland... and not a 4.4 rating on my books. I went for lunch, and while the service and seating were warm and comfortable, the food waspretty bad for the price. Everything was under-seasoned, amateurish almost, except this "potato cake" which must have had 3cloves of garlic for this shaped mashed potato dish to taste like garlic paste. I could go on, but there have to be betterrestaurants around, so only come here if you want drinks, and the neighbouring joints are full. Read more
My family and I had a delicious meal with great service. Our server had excellent menu suggestions (saganaki cheese appetizer)... that did not disappoint, and the drinks were just as on par and very creative....loved my ?smoking? margarita. The cheesecakefor dessert was a great finale! Read more
