They don't know how to serve a big crowd. They brought our plate out one at a time after we waited two hours, and of course the food was cold. I think it was about 20 of us about seven people didn't even get their food So if you from California, this is not a restaurant to go to especially if it's a lot of you maybe they used to serving 2 to 3 people at a time so if you're from California don't go like I said specially if it's a lot of you services bad and like I said they're rude

Karl and Kadee are excited about the future and the expansion of the Legends lounge and portfolio of brands.

The venue is delightfully intimate and cozy, offering lovely private seating options and a wonderfully inviting ambiance. Their offerings are quite well-rounded, featuring everything from great coffee and fine wines to an impressive selection of craft beverages. The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish the team, from the kitchen staff to the servers, was remarkably warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. It felt like true, classic American warmth at its finest! For my luncheon, I selected the small Smokey Pig Pizza paired with a crisp Coca-Cola. When the pizza arrived, it was an absolute triumph boasting rich, complex flavors and a perfectly crafted crust. It was a complete hit in every respect! Utility Brewing Company is a standout establishment with divine food and stellar service. Five stars without hesitation I shall most certainly be returning whenever work brings me back through Ruston

I got the sense that it's probably popular with locals, but personally, I didn't feel super comfortable and probably wouldn't go back or recommend it. Just kind of a forgettable experience overall.

Sadly I see the 1 star reviews that exist…read moreand figured I should add my two cents to not scare away any potential customers that actually check Yelp first. This place is your standard Chili's and at that, is actually a bit nicer presented and the staff is even friendlier than most. My friend and I went on a girls night date here and shared the two for $35 deal (an app, two margaritas, two entrees, and dessert) and we were checked on frequently by the waitress, she even offered suggestions. She brought us extra napkins when asked, always refilled our drinks - nothing but exceptional. We were seated immediately, to address the other poor review, so perhaps that was a crazy busy night, not sure why ANYTHING in Ruston would have a 3 hour wait. That is ridiculous and for a place with no traffic, I don't see how anything here could be that populated in one given moment. However, reading the fine lines of the review - there was a special engagement going on which makes sense... I would've gone somewhere else then. I would definitely come back here again if in the mood for a great deal or 2 for 1 drinks. Nothing beats there margarita specials. And they are strong and yummy too. Win win.

And before anyone pulls a hamstring jumping to conclusions, it was a Saturday early afternoon (3:45pm) and there are a total of 3 tables this guy was waiting. In between incompetence, he passed time living his best life chatting up the cook staff. And that was apparent when I ordered a rare steak and got what appeared to be microwave-nuked lunchable meat. Helen Keller's imaginary friend got more attention than our table did. The empty plates and unfilled drinks were forming the Island of Forgotten Dishes on our table. Again, before a fleet of single mom waitresses start grabbing picket signs and forming a lynch mob, I'm not beating the kid up for being new. I'm criticizing his utter lack of effort and how winter in Game of Thrones came sooner than anything our table ordered. And the fact he had the audacity to argue about what someone at the table ordered. This place needs a serious training stand down. What are the odds the waitstaff and the cook staff are joining forces to create a Mediocre Mid-Meal Mastermind Super Villain? They won. Clearly the fault of the management for allowing this type of lackluster service. Then again, not surprising with today's humanity. And just so ambience doesn't feel left out - the half gallon of spilled sweat tea that had a broom propped over it was a nice touch. Do better, Ruston Chili's.
