Rusty's Smokehouse - Birmingham

Retro decor, nice! We ordered potato skins with beef and kidney beans—very tasty! The plate of brisket with pulled chicken and beef was great, though there wasn't enough salsa for my liking. The tacos were quite filling; my son struggled to finish because there was so much meat—quite a lot for his first time trying brisket, lol. It was delicious! The kids' chicken burger was simple but good. I would definitely return to try other dishes. The service was friendly.

The sirloin steak was quite good; I ordered it medium. It had a slight chewiness, but overall it was delicious, especially with the mushroom sauce. The hand-cut American fries were decent. The price for the steak and fries was reasonable. It's definitely not a bad place for a steak.

I visited this restaurant for lunch and ordered a bowl of spicy rice with chicken. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the chicken was incredibly moist, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was exceptional, and I had a lovely conversation with the waitress, who shared details about each dish. She even treated us to complimentary samples of her brisket, which was cooked to perfection. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and during my visit, it was completely empty, making for a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
