| - The Rustic's been a staple in Rocky River for fifty years, and if you don't like what they have to offer, well, they'll get by without you. They take only cash, and serve from a fairly limited diner-style menu to devoted clientele. But you can get a genuine burger and fries for $5.00.
The food? Honestly, it's okay. It's dirt-cheap, and pretty decent for what it is, but it's definitely dinery. The bread is Wonder bread, and the gravy is canned, and the turkey they use in their hot open sandwiches is scooped out of a tin somewhere. But hey! It's a diner, what did you expect? And it is where all the locals eat, so it's an experience worth having just for the people-watching. And should you come early, there's a lot of people to watch; they serve efficiently here, so don't expect a long chat afterwards. On the plus side, you'll be seated within a few minutes.
