The Rusty Melon

I've enjoyed the free poker tournaments here, but coming to watch a game and enjoy dinner was an embarrassingly bad experience for everyone involved.
Service was ridiculously slow, which is understandable because there was only ONE person serving the entire [crowded] bar and all the tables.
To make things worse, when I finally caught the attention of the server and put in a food order, she forgot to put it in to the kitchen.
After remembering to do so, the veggie burger I ordered came back as a regular burger and had to be remade! As a final nit - there was a surprise $5 upcharge for a veggie patty substitution, which seems excessive and was particularly annoying considering it wasn't even made correctly.
If anything, I feel the burger should've been comped! I *might* return for poker and a beer, but I will never return for dinner.

My daughter and I lunched at the Rusty Melon in Gunbarrel on 3-9-24.
Both orders were cooked to perfection! Fries crispy, mushrooms sauted to perfection.
We both highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner! Oh and if paying with cash, you get a discount! Felicia our server couldn't have been nicer!

I love this space, and I'm here frequently, but this establishment comes up short almost every time in some capacity.
R d is usually great, the service is another though so together. Today, I've been sitting here at the bar for 10 minutes without even being acknowledged.
It's game 7 of the NBA playoffs and there is ONE bartender/server trying to manage the entire restaurant. The management here is atrocious with what seems to be little to no planning.
Why present yourself as a sports bar and not have the games on the loudspeakers? The jukebox is always playing bad music (subjective, I realize) while all of the TVs are on sports.
At the very least play the audio for games/events like game 7 of the NBA playoffs when the home team is trying to defend a championship! Update: I've been here for 20 minutes, the entirety of the first quarter of the game, and I don't even have a water. This is a travesty and be owner should be embarrassed.
Send this poor girl some help and get a bar manager that understands how to schedule a bar.
