Stopped here for lunch driving from South Snohomish & King County down to Seaside, OR for the holiday weekend. We were greeted promptly, seated quickly, and our server approached right away to ask what we'd like to drink. We had lemonades, a Reuben with tots, a club sandwich, and soup. Everything was tasty, and the portions were generous. We ended up leaving our leftover food behind since we were going to be on the road the rest of the afternoon. The entire place is wood, adorned with animal hides, heads, bumper stickers, T-shirts, hats, etc. A very rustic feeling. We would return again given the opportunity. read more

I'm pretty confused when my TOGO order got charged a "large party fee." We had 3 meals and 2 appetizers for take out. (Half of it was take out of taken out of a freezer and fried). When I asked if this was the correct bill I got looked at like I'm stupid. Don't expect people to support local if you are going to be disrespectful and charge an extra 18% for a an order that was take out. We keep trying to give this place business but they are ALWAYS very rude to customers. read more

There's nothing fast about this place and they could do better. I had the barbecue bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was pretty good. The fries had been sitting out too long before they brought them to me. The place is small and cramped. It's hard to get around. The service was friendly enough and everybody else liked the food they had. In a place where there's not a whole lot of options, this isn't a bad one I haven't seen a Yelp hostile place before but I guess this is one of them. (See the receipt picture, "love us on Facebook, hate us on Yelp"). I didn't hate it. read more

This was a cute stop on the way to the coast this past weekend. Very kitchy and cute inside. The service was fairly quick for a Friday at lunch time and the food was pretty good overall. The portions were huge all around. The cow pie biscuit was the perfect name and was crumbly and soft. The gravy was standard but I love that it came on the side so the biscuit wasn't soggy. Nice little spot off the highway. read more

I have to honestly say I have never actuated here but we do stop by and get their onion rings to go with barbecue sauce! Any trip to the Ocean or Centralia we stop in and grab some. Last week we were just out for a drive and my hubby headed there to surprise me! The parking lot is full of dozens of old rusty tractors. I'm sure the inside is fun to see too. Good American food. read more

wow busy place. one server full house. she did well. food was wonderful. Worht the price.

Trip advisor and Yelp hyped this place as the place to stop on the way to the Oregon coast. (Some of the reviews are a bit over the top-- and make me suspicious...) Anyway, Rusty Tractor did the trick for lunch on the way from Seattle to Cannon Beach. I will say that the cinnamon roll was mighty tasty. (We weren't brave enough to try the "rattlesnake eggs" listed on the menu.) It's just off of route 12 in Elma, WA. (*We did happen to see a couple of cool vintage cars in the parking lot-- later in Cannon Beach we'd see a police escort (!) lead a parade of at least 20 of them on the way to a car show in Seaside. Quite a site to see!!) read more

The food was overpriced. I ordered a French dip and it came with maybe 1oz of the thinnest meet. No onions or cheese. Had to pay extra for that. Waitress didn't even let me know. We were seating right next to the kitchen and I witnessed the cook blowing his nose and walking back into the kitchen. So gross. read more

lots of waiting, i think they may be short staffed. but our server was nice. the inside is really cute and cozy. the food was kind of bad. tasted microwaved or old like sitting out old. i was really disappointed ordering a baked potato "with the works". "the works" was a scoop of sour cream. that's it. i don't know what i was expecting with my sandwich but it was very boring, bland and dry. the biscuits that came with the meal have definitely been sitting out, they were still and room temp. read more

Amazing cafe on our way to our destination. The service was fast and friendly. Although they were busy, we were sat and greeted in a timely manner. They have a bunch of cool Rusty Tractor merchandise by the counter from fanny packs to coffee mugs. I had their biscuits and gravy. Their full order is well worth it with a generous size buttery biscuit. The gravy was meaty and comforting. My boyfriend's dad ordered the omelet and it was filled with toppings and super cheesy. read more

Showed up after 3 days of hiking in Olympic national park and was sure glad to have feasted here after non stop dehydrated meals. But don't let my campy resource starved experience discount the food here though! If you're looking for food that has a bit of the local flavor added into it you have to stop by Rusty Tractor! Protip: They have limited time cheesecakes that are 1000% worth it. Feed the dessert demon in you while you're here read more

The place is pretty amazing. It has all kinds of decor for the country theme and you can just be amazed by all the different things on the walls. And our waitress Taylor took care of us today and the food looks awesome read more

Taco soup was VERY salty and had hard uncooked beans (or at least i think that's what it was). lukewarm at best. Lettuce on salad was on its last leg. read more

Food was okay but on the expensive side. I mean, it wasn't unpleasant to eat, but for the price, I expected a bit more flair, e.g., freshly batter-dipped seafood instead of freezer-to-fryer, especially in a place nestled between the Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean. Service was prompt and friendly, and all the rusty old tractors around the parking lot were really cool. Indoor decor was also interesting and gave us more to talk about while we waited. Someone had been clever and put thought into the menu, which included tidbits of local history and at least one prank food item, which the server explained with a smile. A friend brought me here. I probably won't go again on my own. You can eat here and enjoy the ambiance inside or you can just park and enjoy the farm machinery outside for free. read more

Food for the soul! Passing thru Elma, WA on our way home from a long weekend and we stopped at one of our favorite little spots! Honestly I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet! I had the Hawaiian burger this time. It was so juicy and perfectly seasoned! Yumm just Yumm! My kiddo had the kids chicken tenders and fries and they were nice and thick with a thin breading! Very good! I snuck a taste of hers too! Lol! I wanted to get something different as I generally get breakfast here, which I'm sure you can see by other reviews is what they are known for! The biscuits and homemade cinnamon roll are to die for! So even if you have to take one home- do just that! The staff is so kind and never complain! They ask all the right questions to make sure you have what you want and not just what you need! They work hard and are so attentive! This is a must stop in restaurant! Thank you Rusty Tractor for always providing great service and a wonderful meal! read more

Food was mediocre at best. Hot beef sandwich was way too salty and burger dip was one small patty on a dry bun with about a dozen fries. Asked for ketchup that never came and was never offered a second drink even though I was empty for more than 20 minutes. Won't be back. read more

Restaurant, not as great as it used to be. Food. Was nothing to brag about our service? Was horrible, server never came back to our table and literally had a tampon stuck up her nose read more

The food is good, the service is good, and the location is convenient. Their breakfast menu and food is great.

Solid diner food and some pretty decent drink options. This place gives me community institution vibes, but it's also visible from the freeway. Plenty of classic diner food on the menu (you can also get fresh snake eggs...yes, from an actual local snake farmer). The biscuits are bigger than your hand and are flaky and delicious! I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy and it was HUGE. I'm honestly scared about what a full order looks like. I added two scrambled eggs and hash browns to my biscuits and gravy. Hash browns weren't as crispy as I think they should be and the scrambled eggs were a little overdone, but neither were bad tasting by any means. They have a peppermint White Russian right now as a holiday special. It was tasty and pretty damn strong. Pretty good spot to check out and a great weekend breakfast/lunch spot! read more

We stopped in here for breakfast on our way back from the ocean. I ordered the Rusty Tractor omelet and my husband ordered the chicken fried steak. We both really enjoyed our food. What we liked best was the genuine customer service. The gals working this morning were completely friendly and on top of things. So refreshing to get great customer service these days. The atmosphere was great and gave a very authentic hometown cozy feel. We will definitely stop by again on our way through! read more

Excellent food and service Great breakfast ham and eggs cooked perfectly Friendly wait staff but a little short staffed

Stopped in for breakfast/brunch with my wife and brother in law yesterday. I had a hamburger steak breakfast with two eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast, while my wife had a burger dip with fries and my brother in law had a BLT with fries. Everything was fine, if unexceptional - really, pretty much your average small town diner fare - though I was disappointed by the hash browns, which had clearly been on the back of the grill for a while. This spot, complete with "country decor" hanging from the walls and ceiling, is clearly popular with the locals (not that there's much restaurant competition in Elma, mind you) but it's not a place I'm likely to visit again, though the service was good and the turnaround between ordering and the food arriving at our table was decent. read more

Rusty Tractor Family Restaurant - The "cow pie" with gravy and two eggs on top, and a taco salad and loaded potato skins.. - American Near Me - Elma, Washington

Visited today at 10:00 am 1st thing we were told is that they were out of hash browns! What on a Wednesday morning? We ordered the big bull breakfast & shared between 3 adults. Our food came out cold! Our eggs were overcooked! Only positive thing is large portions which makes no sense if the food isn't good! We didn't finish our food & will not be returning! (3 eggs, 3 pancakes, 3 sausages, 3 strips of bacon.) Positive - they split our plates for us and waitress was very nice. read more

As empty-nesters we rarely sit in the main restaurant anymore, but the service in the bar is always good. The food is good with some standouts and some lackluster options. The menu has a lot of variety so most can find something they'll like. They also have monthly specials that are off-menu items and discounted regular menu items. I enjoy the Reuben and the Burger Dip. My husband often gets the Chicken Fried Steak or the Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast Burrito. It's a country restaurant with country kitsch decor. It has crossover ownership and menu items with Billy's in Aberdeen and Country Cousin in Centralia. read more

Just like most of the other reviews here, we too were passing through on vacation. It was a Saturday afternoon, and we were super hungry but looking for a place to still get breakfast food. We found The Rusty Tractor online and decided to give them a try. The parking lot wasn't packed with cars, and it seemed as though the morning rush was over and so we went in to meet a sign reading "Please wait to be seated". We stood there for a few minutes and noticed that we were in the opening room of a quaint little diner. There was a bar with stools, a small gift shop area and then hallways that lead to other rooms throughout the building. We could hear talking and laughter coming from the other rooms and had expected to be taken to one soon when a woman in passing told us we could sit right there. Right, there was a table immediately to our right with no place settings and no menus on it. This room was cold too, but we sat down and waited patiently. After five more minutes or so, we still hadn't been approached by any wait staff. No one greeted us, no one took our beverage order, no one brought place settings or menus or even glasses of water. My wife got up and went and found some menus and brought them back to our table and so we started to look through them to see what we would want to order. That's when the woman who had been helping the people at the bar area started to help the group of people who had come in after we did. That was enough for us. My wife and I both work in fields that require exceptional customer service, so our standards are pretty high. We decided in that moment that we did not want to support this establishment any longer and we sure weren't going to pay our hard-earned money to them for being treated like we didn't exist. Maybe they get enough business that it just doesn't matter to them but as a couple of hungry travelers, it mattered to us, and I hope it matters to those reading this because no one should subject themselves to this type of disrespect and treatment. It's a shame that I'm not writing this review right now and raving about the truly amazing food that they serve because that would suit me and The Rusty Tractor much, much better. They are not on my list of places that I will not return. Thanks for reading. read more

No matter how busy they are (and they're usually very busy), the food is great and so is the service. We always stop here for breakfast on our way to the ocean. My husband loves the Chicken Fried Steak. I get something different every time; their pancakes, waffles, and biscuits and gravy are delicious. My mom got the Rusty Tractor Special and it had a bit of most everything! Love this place. read more

I will first say I'm not a big fan of their biscuits & gravy but just about everything else. The servings are huge. You definitely get your money's worth. The "cow biscuit" is pretty dry and there isn't much sausage gravy. But everything else is pretty good here ajd that's why I give 5 stars read more

We stopped here on a whim while driving because the name just stood out. We had a party of 6 and were sat immediately which is lovely because in most restaurants that's not always the case. The staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly after ordering. The portions were very large even when ordering half orders of biscuits and gravy and like items. The pancakes are huge taking up the whole plate. The outside had old tractors and the inside had cute branded merchandise including beanies, T-shirt's, tanks, sweaters, hats and more. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food but I took this one of the cute beanie I bought. read more
