Rustler`s Restaurant in Tropic

Good food good service

Average breakfast food in a brand-new environment. The waitresses speak multiple languages which is nice for visitors. A good little store is attached and has a decent selection.

We had a great time at this place despite a few issues that were clearly volume and season related. Very busy but staff worked hard to keep things rolling. Food quality is good for the fare. We had to nudge for items that were ordered but were not delivered. Prices norm for spot. Totally worth the drive from Bryce area because wait is less and quality is same.

We’ve had a wonderful experience in Bryce so far, with Rustler’s Restaurant being the lone black eye of our trip. We were told 20 minutes for our to go order and we’re currently sitting at 55 minutes. The part that earns them the one star is that after asking multiple times on the status of our order we receive mumbled answers of “just hold on” with little interest in solving our concerns. This establishment also is very uninterested in any type of Covid-19 precautions. Zero social distancing, every table in service crammed with customers. Very disappointed. Please direct your business anywhere else in Tropic. Had a wonderful experience at IDK Grill just next door.

Great stop for a quick bite and some southern Utah hospitality!EDIT: I wish I could give them another 5 star review! We stopped in again this year based on our great experience last year.Treyson was awesome and took excellent care of us!

Good food, service poor, waited 30 minutes for breakfast. Other people that came in after us got there food. I asked what happened to our order ? We only have 1 waffle maker, the other people were eating waffles that came in later

This place barely deserves 3.5 stars. Coffee tastes like deluded mud water. Hash browns are from the day before (and probably from leftovers?) — you can ALWAYS tell when potatoes are day old — they’re dry and taste like paper. Croissant sandwich was nice though nothing special. On top of that expect 18% tips to be included in the bill. My friend ordered the omelette, and says the meat tasted old as well.

Ordered a steak, and it was cooked just right and it was seasoned well, but the cut was kind of bad; lots of tough connective tissue to saw through. Also scored some free fries 🤙

Fantastic food, great hospitality. Truly worth the very short ride out of Bryce. We had the BBQ combo and the cheeseburger. Both were excellent!

Western themed family restaurant. Clean and friendly. Average good food.

Nothing special, the food was quite bad, sevice average and it is not really cheaper than in other places

I don't understand the previous comment. This dinner wasn't expensive at all. Food was correct and the waitress very nice. We spent a good moment.

Really good food, cool atmosphere and good service and not far from the park!

Really tasty western styled food

Literally no one in our section, if even the restaurant at all. Waiting 10 minutes to be able to give our drink order. Food is boxed/frozen and was bland! 40min for a coke and appetizer.... Will not be back and will Not recommend.

Took forever, service was horrible, food tasted like burnt plastic and rotten milk mixed together, one of the worst restaraunts I've been too.

This restaurant was very good. The service was good and so was the food. I would definitely recommend the ribs. I’m not sure why the reviews are low because everything was great. 💯

Ordered take out as we didnt want to dine in yet although they were socially distancing diners. Food was plentiful and tasty!

I took my family here and we waited 40 minutes after ordering and asked how much longer it will be, they told us it would be another 25 minutes so we just left. They also seemed to be ignoring any Covid safety precautions so that was a bit weird.

Amazingly great food and excellent staff! I have only eaten there three times now but they always exceed my expectations and it's always a pleasant experience. Thank you!

Decor was bad, food was average or a little below... waitress was very good.

After a day of hiking an exploring the BLM lands south of Tropic, this place was the only one open on a Sunday night the weekend after Thanksgiving. Even though it was our only choice, it was a good choice. I had a burrito, which was good. The chicken in it was well cooked and seasoned. The sauce could have been a red sauce instead of green, but it still tasted good. The wife had a burger which she wouldn't stop talking about the rest of the night. If you're hungry near Tropic and this place is open, I definitely recommend it.

The food was delicious and served in generous portions. We ordered the mushroom pesto and the smothered burrito. Fair warning, I could not finish the burrito, it was huge! We also ordered the brownie and ice cream for dessert. We received great service as well.

Nice waitresses, food is great, we typically had breakfast.

Good food and service

The food was adequate to good. Service was very good. My review is intended to bring attention to the "suggested tip" at the bottom of the receipt. It is very inaccurate and is no doubt costing your servers big time. The "20%" suggested is actually only 11% of the sub total! Servers work hard at pleasing your guests and you should not knowingly (my server said management IS aware of the issue) be screwing them over. That suggested tip is used by foreigners as many come from countries where tipping is not customary. I certainly hope that the next time I visit this issue will be resolved. (Helpful hint...calculating 20% is as simple as multiplying the total by 0.2)

Great value for money, huge portions and excellent waitress. Dilyana is a genuine gem.

I had a hamburger and it was amazing the Waiters were kind to . I would recommend going there 1,000000m times.

This was honestly the worst food that we had during our 2020 bike trip from Dublin Ca - ChicagoBurgers must have been cooked a week earlier. Then dropped into the micro wave. The grocery store was very nice - Grab some granola and keep driving.

We have kids that love milk. $2 for a very small glass of milk and $3 for a (small) large is just nuts. $55 for breakfast is crazy not including tip. No kids menu so everything is full price. Live and learn, next time I will go to the attached grocery store and buy a half gallon for $1. 2 star food, but charge 5 star prices.

Homestyle good food, hungry after an active day, this was a satisfying and pleasant stop. Highly recommend

Good food

Food isn't too bad. But something about the servers is what makes me give only 3 stars here. They all seem to have a European accent and are nice at first. if you ask them if they are from Europe or give a casual conversation around that, you will get the coldest treatment a server can ever give you. Not the friendliest people. Food is good though. And 4 people a table would get an 18% tip. So be sure to check the check.

Honestly don’t know how to give this place less than one star. We got seated right away then waited 20 mins to get water. We never got the bread that should be complimentary. Then we ordered and waited another hour and a half to get our food. There were TWO tables in the whole place. Then after waiting two hours.. our chicken came out RAW. How could it be raw when it cooked for literally two hours?! Not to mention how disgusting the bathroom was..

We stayed in Tropic during our visit to Bryce Canyon. This was the only restaurant that was open and to our surprise the restaurant was turned out to exceed my expectations. The waitress are also very sweet. I would definitely stop by here again if I visit Bryce or surrounding places.

great service

Bacon tasted like it was freeze dried. My drink glass smelled like garlic and the waitress seemed put out by out presence.

Terrible food, terrible service - terrible experience. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else - anywhere else.......

Looooooved my country fried steak and mashed potatoes with gravy. Perfectly peppered!!!!!

We had a great breakfast here. Ordered the meat lover omlette and it was overstuffed with bacon, sausage, and ham. Good coffee too. It opens at 7am. Don't wait too late for dinner in this town as everything starts to shutdown around 8-9pm. Hotel manager recommended this restaurant as best in town.

Rustler's had awesome décor and amazing staff. We had two different people check up on us before we were taken to our table. I appreciated the simpler 1 page menu. While we waited for our food, we were served fresh bread and butter. Food came out reasonably quickly. Chicken was tender and boneless. Beans were a bit under done, but the sauce was tasty. I used it to flavor my chicken. Ribs were very tender. The honey butter was weird. Also, they were thankfully open on Sunday for two hungry and tired hikers.

A decent last-choice late night dinner at restaurant, offers burgers, sandwiches and BBQ. Pulled pork is not BBQ, looks and tastes like baked/boiled and pulled. Burgers are OK. Ample portion. Service could be better. Only one bathroom (unisex), pool of water on floor.

Trout was delicious, big portions!

Austyn was an incredible server and the food was awesome

Terrible Terrible Terrible, there was nothing good about this place, was staying at Bryce lodge and their restaurant was on a 2 hour wait so decided to try this place, should have realized something was up when there was only 1 other couple in there, food was horrible and the server was non existent, I had to go back into there dish area to find someone to take my money, could have easily dined and dashed. The food was very over priced, I spent $40 on inedible food and no manager to complain to, keep your cash and go elsewhere.

This has got to be BEST restaurant near Bryce Canyon City (Tropic)!! This was our 3rd time there, they never disappoint!! The service is great, food is delicious & the portions are HUGE!! Thank you for our awesome dinner!!

Good food, good people. I like eating here.

Awesome! Highly recommend!

It was okay... service was very quick.
