The Rustic Oven in Middleton is in the corner of a strip mall next to a very clean, organized Idaho Yourh Ranch. But back to the food... They specialize in sandwiches--hot and cold--and baked goods. Since my time with my mom is special, I go a little extra each time. So we started with a Nutella roll. Holy heck. It was amazing. Kinda like the best chocolate chip cookie you've ever eaten. I got one to-go for my daughter too. My mom ate half of her pastrami sandwich so she could have another treat! She picked out a Huckleberry cream cheese pasty. So good, but so rich. I enjoyed my roast beef hot recommended by the delightful hostess, Avah. Her pride in their many offerings was evident. We took home the rest of our sandwiches. But right when she got home, my mom wanted the rest of her pastrami. I know she was full but it was that good that she had to finish it while it was still fresh. That's quite a testimonial. The Rustic Oven will be our new go-to place! PS: In Yelp, it's mistakenly described as a food truck. Avah explained that they used to offer pizza via a food truck, but that was years ago.

I hate to write this review but someone has to because the owner needs to do some quality control…read more We loved this place, when it opened it was 5 star. Over the years it has gone down hill. The last few times, anything we tried seemed old. Dry Thanksgiving bread rolls, baked goods (cookies, scones, cinnamon rolls) that were not fresh. Today we tried sandwiches at lunch, noon on a Thurs. My ciabatta roll on the hot honey sandwich was the driest bread I've ever received at a restaurant & I'm not exaggerating. It was so hard it didn't move when squeezed. We called to let them know & the person that answered didn't apologize and only said "thanks". I don't know how a person could make a sandwich on that bread & think it was okay to sell to a customer. We live in town & likely will not be back. I hope the owner reads this review: please save your bakery.

What a gem of a place. We can't wait to come back and enjoy again.

They do tend to get pretty busy on the weekends, so you may have to wait for a table, but it is well worth it! If you do have to wait, they have a couch seating area for you to wait and have a drink! We have tried most everything on the menu and have not had anything we don't like. If you try the zombie chick wings...they are HOT HOT! All of the wings are huge and come with tons of toppings! The burgers are all amazing and made with local middleton made bread. The pretzel is a bit spendy but comes with a pound of brats too so it is superrrrr filling! If you've never had tater kegs before...get them!!!! They are my go to carby-cheesy fix! Update! Any burger can be swapped out for a grilled or breaded chicken patty! The breaded is AMAZING!

The insides remind me of an Asian diner, almost like what people think an Asian diner would look like. Opened with the pork pot stickers for the appetizer...perfectly crispy bottoms and steamed tops. Hubby never eats these things and gobbled down three. 4/5 stars. I ordered the Black Pepper chicken bowl (served on white rice) and hubby ordered the Teriyaki chicken bowl (also served on white rice). Every time I've ordered black pepper chicken anywhere else, it always comes with a hearty pepper sauce, almost likened to teriyaki. This sauce was clear and loaded with so much uncooked black pepper that it was spicy. It was almost like the pepper shaker top fell off on top of my dish and difficult to eat. The chicken was cut into small shards of meat. The cut onions were very fresh, cooked tender crisp and the rice was soft without being mushy. Hubby thought his teriyaki was overall very bland, but the freshly cut broccoli and carrots soaked up the sauce and were delicious. Had to ask for drink refills at the counter. I truly wanted to love this place as I truly and deeply want to support local vendors and establishments routinely. However, I feel like the food is what they think people who don't appreciate good Chinese food want. I would go there again to try perhaps another dish in the future, but mostly to have those pot stickers again.

Wow, this pizza place is like California Pizza Kitchen on crack...tons of awesome pizza flavors,…read morefun sides and great service! Inside is homey and has a nice rustic, woodsy yet modern, edgy style. This isn't your average pizza joint...It's a special little nook of heaven. Ordered a medium cheese pizza with sausage, extremely twisted sticks, kickin' chicken (chicken marinated in a spicy ginger Thai sauce, peanuts, green onions, Swiss, Fontina, fresh cilantro, mozzarella, peanut sauce and shredded carrots) and a small baseline garden salad with ranch dressing. Baseline came out first and was a very generous size for a small. Every ingredient, the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, carrots and croutons were fresh and crafted to perfection. The ranch was a nice texture and flavor. Next came the Extreme Twisted Sticks, cheese sticks with marinara. Only downside is that the marinara was cold, but the twists were nicely baked with ooey-gooey cheese inside. Next came the pizzas. Each pizza had a nice thin-ish crust, crispy and nicely salted, with generous toppings on each slice. You can tell that the people who make these items care about what goes out to the customer. We loved our time there and even our friends from New York said that they loved this pizza...and that says a lot! We can't wait to go back.

The food was absolutely amazing. My husband had the 18 oz bone-in ribeye and I got the lobster tail. My husband loved his steak and my lobster was seriously THE BEST I have ever eaten. It was so good. Had a smoky flavor that I've never tasted with lobster before that was amazing. My only complaint is that we went on a Tuesday night when the farmers market was going so we had to park nearly five blocks away from the restaurant. The prices for the food seemed a bit excessive but after tasting it, I'd pay it again. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner and plan to make it our regular anniversary spot from now on.
