About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for brunch

Partners and long-time friends, Ryan Hines and Jay Kulas believe that the most important moments in life are about building relationships and usually involve a great meal. Maintaining a friendship for over fifteen years, the two shared a common approach when it came to opening a restaurant - to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for friends and family to gather, curate experiences and build meaningful connections.

Stripping away the formalities of the typical dining experience, The Rustic Spoon is serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch while focusing on quality local ingredients, family recipes, warm service and a relaxed causal ambiance. Rooted in family, friends and food they offer diners a one of a kind atmosphere to enjoy comfort food recipes with a modern and local twist.

    Delicious food at a great price. The potato encrusted salmon was best. Service was excellent. If you are vacationing in VA beach it’s worth the extra ride to go off the beaten path. Highly recommend

    The food and service are always amazing. Going in on burger night even makes it a better value.

    My husband and I have been to this restaurant several times and have had good food and a good experience. The last visit we had major issues with the service. After putting in our order which included appetizers, we didn’t see our server for the next 30 minutes. Not to check on us or refresh our drinks, etc. I had to ask a another employee to ask our server to come and find out where our appetizers were after waiting for so long. She eventually showed up and let us know that our appetizers in our entrées were all going to come out at the same time. This was totally unacceptable to the table. she apologized on behalf of the Kitchen, but had she checked on us during those 30 minutes she would have known that we had not yet received our appetizers. My husband also ordered the crabcake entrée, but received the crabcake sandwich instead. He did not make the correction to the server as he did not want to wait for his entrée to come out. All in all usually a good experience, but last night‘s experience was quite lacking.

    Went to Rustic Spoon for brunch with the Bestie. Neither of us has ever been there but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a great brunch and the food was pretty tasty. My french toast was a little on the cold side but the cocktails and food were overall pretty good. I would go again just to sample the lunch and dinner menu.

    The restaurant was very nice. The waitress was attentive. The food was delicious, I got the scallop risotto which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My daughter got the surf and turf and said it was great. Will definitely return.

    We absolutely love it, here! It was my dad’s first time coming to eat and he loved it! Great casual yet elevated atmosphere and I always feel comfortable bringing my kids. They love it just as much as the adults do. Everett (Angie) was so personable and nice! The food, delicious as always! Top notch as we can’t wait to come back when my husband is home!
