I was very impressed with the ambiance of this restaurant. Loved all the rooster pictures on the wall! All the decor merged seamlessly and made the place look so put together. We were licky enough to sit near the chef and he (and the bartender) gave us drink recommendations and told us about their new food menu. The drinks were so delicious and well balanced. We also had the duck poutine which was very good. We will definitely be returning.

I literally came upon and found this place as I was taking a friend out for a birthday lunch…. First of all, I have a collection of roosters from all over the world!❤️❤️❤️
I’ve lived in NYC and Los Angeles for a total of 25 years, so the upscale vibe of Rusted Roost is my kind of place!!
The food was incredible!!
I had the tuna tartar and it brought back so many amazing memories of dining experiences from my travels! My friend had the beet salad and that too, was delicious and well plated!! Rusted Roost has a great bar and a good wine selection – the ambience was low key, fun and relaxing!!
Gorgeous bathroom!!
Well done!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was our first time at Rusted Roost. The atmosphere was romantic and the decor was interesting with a variant of pictures of roosters. But as the dinner went on, you could barely hear each other because there were just so much noise from other people talking. You could barely hear the music, but they had some ambiance music playing.
Their Valentine’s day feature listed some delicious sounding courses but we were only interested in the desert; I was something like a berry apple crumble. So we figured we’ll save room for that. I noticed on the menu it said no substitutions, so I had to be particular since I didn’t want anything with dairy since it could upset my stomach.
We started our meal with the fried brussel sprouts, it had some sort of soy sesame glaze. When it came out, it was good, but not very crispy. It was mushy on the inside. For the main course I picked chicken Paprikash, with something like a chipotle cream sauce on the gnocchi. The chicken was sliced already and kind of dry, which I thought took a lot to do since it was dark meat. The gnocchi was good, not dense and mushy.
My fiance got the seared scallops. I tasted it and the scallops them selves were pretty salty, almost like they had cured it in salt but let it sit too long before washing it. The truffles risotto was meh in flavor and the pea puree was only there for garnish. Julienned peppered apples were an interesting touch.
After we finished with our entrees, we tried to order the dessert from the feature, but the waiter said that we would have had to order the entire feature since the servings were counted exactly for each featured menu. They didn’t mention anything about having to order the entire feature to get the dessert went we sat down. I thought that was weird.
They only had two desserts, so we ordered both the creme brulee and the bunt cake The creme brulee was odd tasting, and the bunt cake was super dense and claggy, the cream sauce they put on it was just sweet.
It seemed as though this place just has a chef come and prepare the food and then they just reheat it. It wasn’t cooked to order, so it’s a major tell that the food wasn’t prepared fresh. The brussel sprouts weren’t crispy, the chicken was pre sliced and dry, the no substitutions and the precisely counted desserts are suspicious.
Our bill was over $100 for what tasted like reheated food, kind of a disappointment.

My 1st time in from out of town. Love the atmosphere! Waitress/Bartender was amazing and knowledgeable. Food & dessert was great! Music was perfect! Very good experience for a 1st timer! Keep up the good work!

Excellent place for a meal and drinks. Open concept with garage door for summer open air, holiday decorations and spacious seating. Small menu with unique plates. Parking may be interesting – a walking distance if you don’t get directly on Main Street. Polite and excellent service.

Upon entering i was greeting with a trio playing jazz into the open street. The ambiance was quaint and the lighting was warm. I felt invited immediately.
I had very sweet and eager waitstaff that ensured I had a good visit and will likely return.
The scallops I felt lacked seasoning but the lemon oil that was part of the dish helped tremendously. Personally I’d like to see a seasonal risotto with scallops on the menu.
I had the braised beef with garlic mash, and carrots. All of these were cooked very well and I plan to try their other offerings of root vegetables my next visit.

PHENOMENAL! Do not sleep on this place! This is the best food in the Fox Valley without question. The atmosphere is nice, staff is attentive, drinks are just as elevated as the food.

Great space. Delicious and unique appetizers. Tasty drinks. Acceptable service. Entrees were decent, but could use some tweaking. Overall a good experience. Worth a try, and will definitely be back for cocktails and appetizers.

We try and review a new Fox Valley restaurant every weekend, and this week we stopped by Rusted Roost! We quickly got a table around 8PM on a Saturday. We got two of the seasonal drinks, truffle fries, the elk burger and a chicken dish with fig. The truffle fries really stole the show – loved them! Other food met expectations. My only advice would be to go a little earlier. We felt a bit “pushed out” at the end of our meal.
