The Rusty Melon

We weren't aware this was more of a bar than a restaurant, but the food was good, and the service was excellent.

I'm a regular at the Erie location. As others have commented the food is good, but the REAL magic at the Erie location is the ladies running the front house. They are the BEST. They keep the clientale returning every night. Kim runs a tight ship and it shows. I won't try to shoutout everybody, but (to name a few that I've seen in the past day) Lynn, Amber, Annia, Noelle, Renee, Kayla, Courtney,... killing it! My only complaint is that there are some weird rules that seem to be hurting morale and could lead to turnover. For example staff aren't allowed to drink there (no shift drink, nor even if they are off and are paying customers). This means that if I want to cheers a drink after shift then we have to leave. Dugout is fairly close, but still it's annoying and imho is bad for business. Hopefully they fix that.

Except service.

Really enjoy this place. Good food. Clearly a local hangout. Kayla was a great server. Definitely will be back.

Great bar food. Nice selection of beers. The locals here are really nice. The servers are very hospitable and will take time to chat a little. Great in forming relationships that brings you back. My go-to close to home!

Food and drink was fantastic and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My only thing is I don't like the "seat yourself" situation for busy restaurants. But that might also just be a me thing. 9/10 would do again.

Sucks
