AMAZING food and service, would 10/10 recommend. Very warm and friendly staff who know the menu inside and out. If you don't know what to order they'll give you a great recommendation. This place is a must-visit. The sandwiches are to die for and they serve the best fries I've ever had in my life. Why are you still reading this review when you should be running directly there to grab a bite?

I don't have enough good things to say about this place. We were filming at Mohawk College and someone recommended The Rustic Reuben. First of all the staff are friendly, fun and really good at what they do. Second, we were 7 minutes away and by the time we ordered ahead and arrived our order was ready and made perfectly. I will straight up fight another Human Being for The Smokey Melt. And last but not least, the place is spotless, bright and inviting. Clean washrooms and lots of parking.Next time you're filming in The Hammer I highly recommend The R.R. is a great place for Break, lunch or Second Meal.Very supportive and accommodating to Film and Television Productions.

Went here today for lunch, the young lady behind the counter was so friendly and nice, they put our order in and had some issues with payment with credit card. She said that the food had been ordered and we should sit for our order and pay later as the payment came back on line. We have lunch, food was amazing. The payment never came back on, she offered that the food was on the house. Very thoughtful, I will go back to pay for the meal next week. Loved this place.

I have found my new FAV lunch spot in Hamilton. I can not say enough good things about this wonderful family owned business. First of all the customer service is incredible. The young girl that works at the counter taking orders has such a vibrant personality and really makes you feel welcome. I was really unsure what to order as everything on the menu looked great but she recommended some of their best sellers and fully described them to me.I had a pork Belly sandwich which I have to say was THE best pork belly I have ever tasted. It was so good I went back the very next day and ordered the pulled pork poutine which did not disappoint. I aim to try everything on their menu. It really is a great place to eat!!!!

The best Reuben around, period. Tried a number of other sandwiches that are delicious but this is always a go-to. Super generous portion of meat, fries are also great. Staff always super friendly on pickup and orders ready very quick.

Absolutely divine food found here. Went in right at opening after a meeting I had, and they were kind enough to explain the process of their food preparation and made suggestions for what I could get in future visits. Super friendly people behind the counter that take pride in the food they prepare. And, no doubt, the food reflects that pride. Great stuff.

I travel a lot for work and I'm always looking for hidden gems. This was my first visit so I'll have to return to make sure this wasn't a one-off but I think I've found another diamond! Sandwich was fantastic! One of the best I've had anywhere. My only criticism was that the sandwich was pretty small for the amount I paid. Seems to be a sign of the time as everywhere has inflated prices. It won't affect my rating because restaurants have been unfairly hit hard with lockdowns but I hope if we ever return to normal the prices come down or portion goes up a little. I'll be back soon

Rustic Reuben is a superior sandwich shop. Their beef brisket is of very high quality. The fries are air fried and seasoned very well. The turkey chili is excellent and sandwiches are the best I've had. G.O.A.T sandwich shop in Hamilton? Quite possibly.

The OG sandwhich is amazing. Absolutely amazing.Paired with a greek salad, even better.Great service and overall cleanliness.Thank you!

Absolute gem of a place. As a Man avid smoked meat enthusiast I can say this is up there with the top 3 smoked meat experiences I have had in Ontario. Owners a sweetheart, and they’re doing what they do very right. A must try in the Hamilton area
