The Rustic Pub - Delavan

We were looking for a place to eat on a Friday night at 11:00 PM. I came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were warmly greeted and the bartender was friendly and accommodating. We decided to order burgers and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were. They weren't just good for late-night bar food, but more like the quality you would expect at a specialty burger place for dinner at 6:00 PM. It's moments like these when you come across a hidden gem and we were thankful for the great service.

The bartender (Abby) was excellent, but unfortunately, the drunk cook (possibly named Chrissy) ruined our dining experience. Before we placed our order, the bartender mentioned to her friend that she needed a break. Despite our request for the bartender to take a break before cooking, the inebriated cook insisted on preparing our food. She complained to us about it, but we patiently asked her to stop. However, she refused and cooked our meal while intoxicated. Needless to say, we were not pleased with the situation and hope that no one gets sick from it.

We had a very poor experience at this restaurant. Despite reading some positive reviews, we were disappointed. The bartender was incompetent and overwhelmed. There were only two other people at the bar, and when we tried to order hamburgers, she said we had to wait. After about 10 minutes, she brought us two hamburgers to two empty seats at the bar and apologized for not taking our order sooner, saying she was "worn out". It was hard to believe she was overwhelmed with only four people in the bar. We paid for our drinks and left. [Date of visit: 3/8/22]

We had a super terrible experience. we are not going back. the owners were super responsive and friendly.

My husband, daughter, and I came in for dinner. Overall the food was great and my husband had a few drinks that he liked. The bartender was extremely friendly and she was on top of everything. I would recommend.
