Rusch's Bar & Grill open for in dining or take out

A coworker and I stopped in to get food to go and we’re both pleasantly surprised.
I’ve been coming up to Hamilton for a couple years for work and have avoided this place despite its proximity to my job due it the “bar food stigma”.
And it’s been MY loss.
We ordered the steak salad and I got their balsamic dressing.
The veggies were fresh and the steak was cooked well.
Slightly more done than I prefer, but it was tender and flavorful.
The dressing was amazing too.
The salads came with a couple of garlic rolls that we weren’t expecting and they were a tasty addition to our lunch! We will absolutely be going back!

Owner response

Wow, wow, wow.
We are not from this area, just visiting at the campground up the road.
You take your chances when you pick from google.
But this place wins in all areas.
Most important was our waiter, Travis T-2.
He was the perfect blend of help, attentive yet not annoying.
We will come here again, especially if we can hang out with T-2.
It was kind of crowded last night, and loud.
So happy to learn from T-2 that it was graduation night and not usually so loud.
I had the meatloaf and garlic mashed, while my husband built his own burger, which he said was insanely good.
Better than any burger he remembers.
Appetizer of chicken strips in a honey barbecue.
Those I would drive for alone.
The spinach/artichoke dip was pheomenol and is made fresh daily.
So, so good.

Ate there for the first time.
Food was excellent besides the corn which was old and stale, likely from sitting in water all day which isn't cool when you're spending over $100 for dinner.
But besides that, everything was terrific.
My steak was excellent, the wings were great, cheese fries were great and my (new favorite) wine was fabulous.
The service was a little bit slow but our waitress was very sweet.
Overall an excellent meal minus the old veggies and we will definitely return again to try other things.
Location was very convenient and we were seated right away.
Will be back.
