"We travel a lot and like to pick different place to eat while we do. The place is definitely TOP 3 restaurants we have been too!! Diana was amazing, and so helpful with menu items, not on complaint about our whole experience at the Rusty Spur. I highly recommended if in Pulaski you visit them!!"

- GJ C.

"Was good but wasn't anything special. With some extra salt the steak didnt need steak sauce. Got the 8oz sirloin. But have had better steaks at chains like logans. Was hoping for somethging local and special. Update to response: There was nothing for you to fix. It just was an ok steak meal. If this was the ribeye... then you got my order wrong and it should have been even more expensive than it was and I'd be further unimpressed."

- Bobby G.

"Highly recommend!!! We have been here twice. The food is great. The servers are very attentive and nice. The restaurant is clean. The restrooms are clean. The Beer is cold!!! And the deserts are a must!!! The only thing I'd change is a few more diet soda selections. It's not a deal breaker! We will be back. The owners-Cathy and James-are very welcoming! Look for the nice lady in the cute hat. That's Cathy. "

"Was in the area I was hungry so we stopped in to try this place out. It was very clean we were greeted immediately with a smile and showing where to sit. Our server showed up shortly after was very friendly helped us with the menu give us some suggestions. She kept our drinks full . And constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We were too full for dessert so we took some brownies home with us and they were delicious. They did an excellent job and we will definitely be back."

"Stopped by on my way out of town. I had the lunch special! The price was great for the amount of food you get. My waitress was a very sweet young lady, and she kept checking on me, which I appreciated. The place has a very neighborly feel but on this day some customers were acting a fool and rude to other waitress, kinda ruined it for me. I'm hoping to go back sometime, and maybe It will be better."

- M M.

"Great food, great service - Steaks & Seafood are at market price. We got Breaded Mushrooms & Fried Pickles for appetizers- the pickles were strong & had good flavor, the mushrooms were cooked well & had a yummy layer of batter. I had the 8 oz sirloin with Grilled Broccoli & tater tots (loved loved) others in my party had the BBQ burger (double trouble), a different burger & the crab leg clusters (which was the daily special). As a note, there is a surcharge if you do not pay in cash, unsure if it was a % or a $5 flat fee, as we did not see that disclosed anywhere - but Everyone loved the food, 0 complaints & would stop by when near again!"

- Acacia L.

"Experience was excellent. Great food. Very nice staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Dont pass this place. My sirloin (medium cooked) was perfect."
