I grew up in Arizona
I frequented Rustler's Roost over a few decades. I have since moved to Portland, Oregon and wanted to share the experience with my kids. After reading all of the negative reviews we almost didn't go. I was worried it would cost a fortune and leave me feeling unsatisfied. So glad I rolled the dice.
My husband and I arrived with a small army of kids: 2 little guys and 6 teens. Yes we travel with 8 kids. Lol.
We all loved it. Drinks (with refills) bread and family style table salad came out quick. While we waited we got up danced to the live music and went back down the slide. Portions were ample. Even with 4 teen boys we couldn't finish it all.
We hit the jackpot with our server, Bobby. He has was warm and friendly. He managed the table like a pro. He took our order with no notes and nailed it!!! For all 10 of us.
I ordered the combo platter with ribs. Super good. But the real home run is their bacon and jalapeno mac n cheese. It's a side and only $5.95. I could have made a meal out of it.
A couple of my boys ordered the hot wings. An appetizer for $9.95, they couldn't eat all 12 of them.
Don't listen to the nay sayers. This is still a place to go. Ask for Bobby Brown's section.
We ordered drinks for all kids, 3 margaritas and 10 meals. Our total was less then $250 with a 20%+ tip. Where can you have fun and eat dinner at a unquie place for that?
