Try This Place Now

by jwatkins56550 at Citysearch

Seriously go eat there now!

You will not be disappointed.

Be forewarned that if you call in a to go order they will not drop your fries in the fryer till you get there. But that is just so you don't get sawgy fries! What to try? My personal favorites are the bacon cheeseburger and the french dip, but anything you get will be delicious. It kind of gives me that great after-thanksgiving-meal feeling of sleepiness and satisfaction. Pete and Granville are the best employees there. Oh and if you like ranch with your fries don't hesitate to ask, it is home made and it is the best I've ever tasted.

• Pros: Everything about this place is good
• Cons: None

Killer Burgers and Spuds

by OneballTodd at Citysearch

This place has the best burger available on Park Rd. The service is quick, easy, and very friendly. Its a nice neighborhood/family restaurant so plan on saying hi to friends you haven't seen in a while, co-workers, church members or even teachers from the nearby schools. They have great patio seating so you can enjoy a meal in the sun during warm weather. TRY THE CHICKEN SALAD or the awesome sandwiches. Its been a neighborhood fixture since the 80's. Don't miss out.

• Pros: Sandwiches and service
• Cons: I want fruit cups on the menu.

Consistently Great Service & Delicious Homemade Comfort Food

by micheller at Citysearch

This is the real deal for homemade comfort food at its finest, in a nice friendly atmosphere. The people that work here are so sweet, and not too bad on the eyes either! Locally owned & operated, you gotta respect and support that here in Charlotte. I love to come to Rusty's to meet friends over a casual non-fussy meal, accompanied by a good selection of wine & beer. The inside is cozy, but when the weather is cooperative, I love to sit outside to bask in the sun and people watch while I enjoy my grub. You really can't go wrong with anything here, as everything is made to order -- but when I was still eating meat, I remember that their burgers were really stick-to-your-ribs deliciousness. They're not skimpy on their servings, and my frugal self that compares the ratio of portion size to what you pay truly appreciates this.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Parking, Independently Owned & Operated
• Cons: There are only 2 locations! But, at least it is not a chain!
