Rust Belt Grill - Blasdell

This is one of my top choices for dining! The food is consistently fantastic and they also serve delicious drinks. It's a hidden gem in Buffalo! Don't miss out on the chicken banana pepper soup! We also savored the RustBelt Meatloaf, which was topped with pulled pork and bacon, and the inferno chicken. We paired our meals with a gin and tonic and vodka tea. It was simply perfect!

So the Rust Belt bar and Grill happens to be a local favorite of ours as it is close to where we live. We went in on a Wednesday just because we did not feel like cooking, and we were seated right away. Normally, we don't make reservations, but they will accept them. The staff is very friendly and attentive while enjoying the dining experience. It's casual dress but have seen everything from jeans to shirt and tie. Basically what strikes your mood or occasion. We have yet to have a bad meal there. There regular menu has a very good variety and they have unique specials.I personally love seafood so that is my usual menu selection. Yesterday I chose from the specials menu.I had the sea bass that had a tomato and Olive topping with an olive oil sauce. The vegetables were snap peas and summer squash and for the potato I went with fries. My fiance went with the chicken francais with mashed potato. Both meals came with a salad and a mini loaf of warm bread and a seasoned oil for dipping. The bread was very soft in the center with a light crisp crust. The perfect combination! I would totally recommend Checking tthem out! They also do a special Tuesday only menu. It is usually crowded for that, so I would recommend making a reservation if you can. Oh, and shame on me for not posting a picture of the meals. We both dove in as soon as we got them!

I have visited this restaurant twice and had a great experience both times. The menu is excellent and reasonably priced, with new specials posted on their Facebook page daily. During my most recent visit, my aunt and I ordered the chicken inferno (stuffed banana pepper, sweet chili sauce) and crab stuffed haddock. The entrees came with fresh bread and a side salad, and I upgraded to a loaded baked potato for an additional $3, which was well worth it. The food was delicious and just as pictured in my posts. The portion sizes were generous, leaving plenty for leftovers. The server was friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend Rust Belt as one of the best restaurants in the southern towns. Give it a try and see if you agree!

I came here to celebrate my birthday and the food is great and we called ahead and ordered a whole pistachio cake which if you ask me is the best dessert you can get here. The staff is great and this place is always busy and it's always delicious!!

The food and service at this restaurant are good, but the ambience is just okay. I would advise making reservations, especially on Tuesdays. I tried calling two days in advance but didn't receive confirmation. I called 16 times to check, but the line was constantly busy. I took a chance and drove there, only to be turned away by a stressed hostess, despite being regular customers since they opened. Even the wait staff, who knew us, seemed unhappy. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.
