The Rustler in Meridian

Went here with the wife tonight and had a great time! The food was well prepared, the service was 5 star and genuine, and the ambiance was comfortably romantic.If you choose to see for yourself don’t be fooled by the route to get there. It’s a bit out of the way from where you’d expect it to be located but worth visiting.

After checking into our hotel we were starving and saw the brochure for this little jem in the lobby and decided to try it and we're so glad we did. You might think you're in the wrong area at first, but then there it is! There are 2 doors, the one on the left goes to a laid back lounge and the door on the right goes to a charming little dining area..which is the door we chose, to be greeted by a very nice hostess who immediately seated us. It's a small dining area but very cozy with a gentleman playing live music on steel drums! The server was extremely attentive and the food was excellent..good portions at a very reasonable price. We'd like to say thanks to Sims (yes, that's her name) who was not just our hostess but also a wonderful host and highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're in the area :)

Best restaurant steak I've had in years! Everything there way excellent.

I am staying at a local hotel and got suggested to try this place out. Long story short this is by far the best prime rib I have ever had. The service is beyond great and staff are very nice. Once I am in town again I will definitely be going back here.

Went for my birthday and from the lemon drop martini all the way to the the red velvet cheesecake it was amazing! The owner and daughter along with the server went above and beyond to make sure our experience was the best. Definitely will be coming back very soon.

It was the best prime rib dinner ive ever had. Thr staff was on top of they're game. I will be back.

I had never really been to a fancy restaurant. Well I don't know if people would call it fancy but it's the fanciest place I've ever been and the service was amazing. The food was the best I've had. I got an 8 oz filet and it was so tender and cooked exactly like I wanted. If you ask for well done you will get well done

After an afternoon of shopping. Our family decided to have an evening of fine dining. We're so glad that we did. It's getting harder and harder to find genuine quality in service. The Owner's daughter made us feel like family. The food was most excellent. My 11yr old daughter and I shared an entree. 16oz medium well New York Strip, perfectly cooked sweet potatoe, topped with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and steamed broccoli. My daughter had a wedge of iceburg lettuce and all the trimmings. I had a house salad with all the trimmings and the best Ranch dressing, I've ever tasted.When our food was served to us, the Chef had split our order on two separate plates. There was plenty of food. Our server boxed up our leftovers to take home with us. Wonderful evening.

Great little spot. Wonderful atmosphere. App of Tuna Napolean was fantastic. Prime rib was outstanding, perfectly cooked with a great Au Jus. Will definitely be back. Staff and owners very attentive and friendly.

I really don't know where to start..... everything about the Rustler is top shelf, 5 star quality!!!! The quality of the food and the preparation is spot on!!! The steaks are perfect EVERY time, the potatoes are perfect EVERY time, the homemade salad dressings are perfect EVERY time. The staff is second to none!!! Everyone from the bartender to the waitresses to the waiters to the manager to the dish washer is unbelievably friendly and eager to make sure you are completely satisfied and taken care of. The prices can't be beat for the level of service and quality of food that you get. I'm a picky person and I can't think of one thing that I would change or do not like about this place. If you are within 30 miles of this place GO THERE you wont regret it!!!!!

Excellent food. Wonderful service. Great experience.

I found the blue cheese dressing on the salad with barbecue shrimp was shrimp in a warm bowl of cream sauce was not what I would have thought barbecue shrimp would look like it was good and then a steak with a shrimp sauce i must say was excellent it really was a gluttonous evening service was good menu selection large went early and there were a roomful of other diners and when we left the parking lot was full and had spilled over to the parking across the street bon appetite food meal pricey.

The steak is really, really, really good. I was a bit disappointed in the sides. The mushrooms were from a can. If they weren't from a can, they did a spectacular job of making them taste like they'd just been heated from a can. The salad was great. The bread is good. The intimate setting is good. The chairs are even good. The baked potato was good. But you lost two stars for serving canned mushrooms as a side dish. Ok. I'll make it 4 stars. It's the little things like that which made me skittish to even try desert.

This place has the most amazing steaks! The crab claws are divine and the bread pudding is heavenly!! I have a new love! The crab dip is wonderful. Every visit is a new taste treat! Each and every employee is attentive and makes you feel right at home.

We were celebrating an 80th birthday, 4 adults, all of us had steaks of different sizes and cuts, all came out exactly as ordered and the salads and vegetables were all excellent also. The service was exceptions from the minute we opened the door and I can't think of anything they could have done to improve the experience.

AMAZING service! Everything was fast and and hot and as it was described or requested. Definitely a nice place if you want to splurge. And there's a lounge area if you want a more casual dining experience.

It was completely Awesome! The food is incredible and extremely professional service!

One of the best restaurants in East Mississippi. It's been in business for decades. A somewhat limited menu but everything we've ordered has been top notch. It's a slight bit on the pricy side but we find it to be one of the best restaurants we've visited including a bunch of high end restaurants in New Orleans, Birmingham and the coast. It's locally owned and managed by a wonderful family who are hands-on. The staff is also attentive without being intrusive. It's off the beaten path and not in a commercial area. I absolutely recommend this jewel of a restaurant and, oh yeah, they have an impressive wine menu and a full bar..

I came here with my family and was absolutely astonished. The owners were phenomenal and the service was even better. Me and my wife both enjoyed a perfectly cooked filet that was literally heaven on our tastebuds. Such a wonderful and exquisite dining experience! 10/10 and would recommend to everyone I’ve ever known.

Hidden gem!! By far the best ambience and service experience of my life. Steak Oscar trumps the finest restaurant then enjoy an Alexander Brandy to complete your night. You’ll especially understand the grandeur inside once you’ve met the hostess.

Steak was tender and cooked just right.
