Stopped in for Saturday lunch upon arriving on the island. Nice atmosphere, lots of natural light and dark timber. Staff were attentive and pleasant, and very patient with my 3 year old who made a bit of a mess! Menu is varied and the food was fantastic. I had a Parma and it was delicious, my partner and daughter both... More

My husband & I went for lunch on a Saturday - started off with the anti pasto plate - delicious, I had entree ravioli with pumpkin & burnt butter sauce - fantastic. Husband had the mussels & said they were very nice & for the beer lover they have a tasting range of four beers they brew. Great service, great... More

Very welcoming staff and great ambiance. Visited with wife and 2 kids, 2 & 6 yrs old and the menu had something for everyone. Variety of kids meals was good and quality excellent. We ordered the pie and parmigiana which were excellent and very ample portions. Great variety of beers, would recommend the tasting paddle and the dark toffee ale.... More

We went to Rusty's over Easter, 2 families, and had a great time. Booking and changing time closer to the daye no problem. The service was so good with so much attention, kids getting colouring sheets. Food was fresh and yummy and good sizes. Pint tasters, and wine choice was enough for us. Would go again next time for sure.

Hubby ordered their home made meat pie and I ordered the grilled barramundi and it was beautiful. The fish was cooked to perfection and the meat pie was full of flavour. Would definitely go back there again.

Beer made on premises is excellent and the quality of the good country food that was on the menu was good. I would definitely like to recommend this restaurant.

This place is great. My wife, 3 year old and I ate lunch here and it was the best place we ate in Phillip Island. Good kids menu, honest, fresh pub food - We had the pie and the fish and chips (fresh fish, not greasy - how many places struggle with that concept). And the beer was great too... More

Nothing like having a chilled quiet beer with friends in an open, friendly environment after a great day. And that's exactly what we did for, unfortunately only 1 night out of 3. We planned to return on the Sunday night but didn't quite make it. Beer was fantastic and the knowledge of the waiter / owner was too good to... More
