    Good local spot. If you grew up down south or in the country you will like this place. No pretense just good service and decent food. The food is better than you might think for a small country restaurant but the kitchen puts in the effort. They make fries from scratch, bread the fish and chicken themselves. Highly recommend if you are in the area

    Place is great, not a typical resteraunt if that's what you are looking for. Definitely more of a locals hangout.

    Great little spot. Drinks are strong and food is good. Sometimes service can be slow when busy.

    Was thrown out by the owner for asking why our drinks took so long! He used a few colorful words‍

    I finally made it to the Dusty! My best friend came here quite a few times in college and we went…read morehere to drink to celebrate my birthday! I went to a college in a very small town much like Rootstown, so it brought back all the nostalgia for me from those days. I was so happy I could finally bust out my old boots! The exterior is nothing to look at from the road in the middle of nowhere. It seriously looks like your typical small dive bar. However, when you walk in, it's so much bigger than it looks from the outside! The bar has your typical selection of hard liquor that can be found in this type of bar, as well as a vast selection of bottled beer to choose from, which I was very impressed with. The bartender was very friendly and whipped up the drinks super quick, which was also a plus. We had already eaten a huge dinner before coming so we weren't hungry, but I took a look at the food menu and they had some tasty looking bar eats! The dance floor is also way bigger than you would think, complete with a stage, and concerts/events are often held here. It seriously looked a country nightclub! So cool! Unfortunately the evening we went was pretty slow, what with college kids not being back in school yet, so there wasn't many people dancing. That didn't bother me tho and I still had a great time dancing and drinking with my best friend! I would definitely like to come back if I'm down in that area cuz I like the relaxed, yet fun atmosphere!

    I LOVE THE DUSTY! I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints! I have been able to…read moresee many great artists in concert and enjoy every event I have gone to!! Drinks are delicious and they used to have a great Long Island iced tea PITCHER for like $11!

    My friend and I came out here on a Monday night. The bar was easy to find, and very spacious inside…read morewith a large amount of seating. The inside is so fun, with a very eclectic feel. They have an extensive menu a very interesting and fun drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. Many of the drinks reminded me of something that I may find at a tiki bar. Although we did not try any of these drinks this time, I would definitely come back to explore the menu further if I was looking to have drinks with a friend. The real reason we came here was because my friend had heard that a woman comes on Monday nights and serves homemade Thai dumplings. This was in fact, true, and we split two orders of dumplings. We tried the traditional dumplings with meat, and the vegetarian dumplings. We received.Five dumplings per order, that were served quickly. The price was fairly reasonable. We both agreed that these dumplings were very good,. My friend enjoyed The traditional dumplings the best, whereas I loved the vegetarian ones even though I typically don't enjoy vegetarian options. The servers checked on us frequently and left us with a small picture of water so that we did not need to keep asking for refills. The interior of this bar has a great ambience that I would recommend for a meet up with a friend or a date. They do not serve many food options, in the night we were here the only food that they had was the dumplings. I would be more inclined to come back if they offered other snacks or appetizers. I would however definitely try this place again.

    The staff and the ambience at BOTL is warm and unique. It feels cozy and arty, the bartenders and…read moreservers are attentive and welcoming. It's a great place to hang with friends, play a board game, or sit alone to read or write. The clientele seems to span a wide range of folks; but it's definitely not your typical college town bar. It's really a gem of a place in Kent.
