Rustic Café 516 Boston Post Road, East Lyme, CT 06333

"Great little hide away with fabulous burgers and drinks. You have to try a pickle back while you're there. If you've never had one I can't promise you'll fall in Love a first try but they are a very fun treat for sure!"

"Stopped for lunch today. Fish and a chips were delicious as well as the Lobster Ravioli. We had the calamari appetizer which was served with a delicious sauce. Ty made a fabulous margarita as well. We will definitely return."

"Stopped by for a pick up order while visiting East Lyme for vacation. Had read a few reviews prior to ordering and was hopeful that the food would be as amazing as I was reading. Surprisingly I read that the service could be questionable but I had no real problems with the service being provided and I even left a tip for the waitress/bartender. We ordered the Rustic Burger well done, an order of garlic Parm wings and some tenders for my daughter. The food smelled delicous which had me excited. The burger though was rare, maybe medium rare which my girlfriend couldn't eat. The chicken wings were pounded with oil and parmesan but had no inkling of flavor to them, blue cheese helped but by wing 3 it just made my stomach upset and sad. The tenders were okay but that's all. Hopefully it was just a bad night in the kitchen and they don't always pump out the food this way. Will probably one day give them another chance to see if it was just an unfortunate circumstance, until then I wish only the best. Thank you Don't know how to add pictures through my phone. When I get the chance I will post pictures of food."

"Small on the outside, big on great food and atmosphere. Bartenders are the owners, food amazing, great fish and chips and burgers. More cocktail combos than you could ever drink + local beers. Will definitely come back and highly recommend 5* all the way."

"We were trying to find something to eat on our way home so we found this little place. What a gem!! Nothing fancy but very charming. We had Fried Pickles, Fried Lobster Roll and Wings. Everything was delicious. Wish we didn't live so far away. Will definitely make the trip back here. Staff was so welcoming. My only complaint was, eating outside there wasn't enough shade. But, I would gladly sit in the sun again for another one of those Lobster Rolls!"
