The best sandwich shop in the area. Easily the best chicken salad in the metro Detroit area and the best local Rueben. I have yet to have a meal here that was anything short of excellent. Really hoping the Romeo location reopens. Gas prices make the trip to Almont less inviting. One oddity I wanted to note was that I've been effectively evangelizing this business for 5 years but have been seemingly blocked from their Facebook page. I have probably sent 50 people (probably understated) there for meals. read more

The quality and atmosphere of this place deserves five stars however they are only open four days a week and for less than four hours That leads to a lot of disappointed inspired lunch orders lol Apparently, it's not a business that needs to make money. They're just doing it out of passion or fun either way go big or go home RBB read more

Updated location in Romeo in a blue house across the street from where they were located years ago. I've heard rumor that they closed down the Almont location. The food was delicious and the people were nonstop in and out of the place lots of choices to keep you satisfied from soup to salad sandwiches, dips, and all kinds of desserts. read more

Great food! Cute atmosphere... eat inside or out... carry out too!! Sandwiches are huge!!!

The Rustic Bluebird Is a carry out only restaurant these days. We ordered and waited for food, and it was made quickly, in under 10 minutes. Some places suffer from having too many things on the menu. That doesn't seem to be a problem here: I have several different things we order, everything was high quality, and freshly prepared. I'm always on the lookout for burger alternatives. I mean, I love a properly prepared ground beef, but I am interested in lighter alternatives when possible. The black bean burger here is one of the best I've ever had. If I didn't know it wasn't beef, I would have been fooled. A generous amount of avocado is added, but they spread aïoli on both sides of the bun. That's too much of a good thing. I have no complaints whatsoever about the beef burger. This is how hamburgers should be: lean and beefy. And, this is a large patty. The grilled chicken wrap is massive, but a lot of that is due to the gigantic amount of lettuce stuffed inside it. There is enough here for a side salad. In fact, my wife took a lot of the lettuce out and made it into a normal sized wrap, and plans to have the lettuce as a salad later. The mac and cheese we ordered as a side was creamy... maybe too creamy. There seemed to be too much butter, but that might just be due to personal taste. The lobster bisque was thick...really thick. The flavor was robust and nicely seasoned, but it's strictly a purée (no bits of lobster, imitation or otherwise). It needs to be thinned out a bit, since it's almost a paste with this consistency. Creaminess seems to be a recurring theme here. I liked the taste of the coleslaw, but it was overly dressed. They don't have a fryer here, so sandwiches can be accompanied with a nice selection of different flavored chips. And, despite all my comments, I did enjoy the food here. I will definitely be back for the burgers, but I will want to try different sides. read more

Just a nice storefront to visit, great staff! Everything is delicious! Try the bread too

My boyfriend and I have had terrible issues with carry outs lately, due to the pandemic. We want to support local businesses during this difficult time and I know some restaurants have been severally understaffed and the food and service has reflected that. Our meal from The Rustic Bluebird was the complete opposite of that, thankfully! We were able to place our order over the phone and have our food delivered curbside. I ordered the Chicken Salad Salad and it was by far the best salad I have ever had (it's honestly the reason I am writing this review. I keep thinking about the salad!) All the ingredients were fresh and crisp. The portion was huge. So much chicken salad! The flavor was perfect and I loved the raspberry vinaigrette. The dried cherries and walnuts MADE the salad. I cannot wait to have it again soon. Would recommend The Rustic Bluebird to everyone that loves a good salad. read more

The Rustic Bluebird - Chicken Salad Salad - Soup Near Me - Romeo, Michigan

Located in downtown Romeo off the main strip is this wonderful cafe. I was introduced to this place bu a friend of mine who lives in town. She raves about the sandwiches and soups so I knew I had to try it out. This is my fifth time here and everything has been so delicious. Parking can be a pain when it's busy, but I'd you can't find street parking, there's parking available in the back of the building. The space isn't big but there's a few tables to sit at if you do have time to dine-in. I absolutely love this place. Some of the best sandwiches we've ever had. I sometimes call ahead and pick up the Roast Beef Sandwich and the Club sandwich to go and we paid it with their soup. The mushroom tarragon is also one of the best soups I've ever had in my life, it's no wonder it's usually sold out! The sandwiches are piled high, the bread is fresh, the dessert is divine (try the carrot cake cheesecake!) and the soups make you want to lick the bowl clean. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Fast,friendly service, good variety, ambiance, helpful, good soup selection, many home made style deli options. Wish they would open, longer hours. read more

Great spot for a bite, and during the pandemic, they only provide delivery and carry out. The quality still was outstanding, and the staff greeting you at the front of the restaurant were super friendly and accommodating. We settled on the Big Pig and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese. Both of which were great. The serving sizes are large, so be prepared for leftovers. The flavors are great, and can't complain about the portions. This a great find in a small Michigan town. Check it out! read more

Food is amazing! They have the best Maurice Salad I've ever had. Sandwich's are huge! Reasonably priced for the quality you get.

What a cute little restaurant on the north side of downtown Romeo. I've driven by this place a few times always intrigued, so I just had to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It's a very unique salad and Sandwich shop with allot of nice offerings. The interior is very cool, sort of the hipster vibe and very comfortable. I actually hit this place two days in a row, oops, I guess the first day was good. So the first day I had the turkey avocado. It's was good, fresh and absolutely huge. Spilt-able huge, it must have had a 1/2 lb or turkey on it. Next up was the big pig, pulled pork, ham and bacon, piled up high like a mountain of delicious pork. I tired and failed to man handle this beast, I had to give up and had to break out the tools. Using a fork and knife was the only way to take this beast down. Pork could have been a tad warmer, but everything tastes really good. Oh my was it filling. So with a cool vibe and interesting menu, I expect to return. Just don't think you'll fly away after eating here. read more

Great food, ive never been disappointed when ordering here. My favorite is their Maurice salad (huge portion with large chunks of turkey, ham, chicken, olive, gherkin pickles and hard boiled egg topped with Maurice dressing) Paired with their daily soups it's one of my favorite meals. You get huge portions and everything always tastes fresh. I always end up adding on something else when I go in to pick up my order; whether it be one of their huge brownies or a piece of cake ive never had leftovers. read more

If you're looking for a cute, small town restaurant-this is it. The decor is adorable, very homey and cozy. The menu offers a great variety of soups, sandwiches, and salads. Everything is made fresh and it's brought to you by a the nicest staff. It's a pretty casual vibe. Today I decided to try the walnut chicken salad wrap and a cup of the lemon rice soup. Both were a huge home run in my book. The soup was delightfully tangy and creamy. The sandwich was huge and full of flavor and texture. The walnuts added a great crunch and contrast to the simple sandwich. It was also loaded with fresh tomato and sweet red onion, rounding out this perfect bite. I'm a big fan of supporting the smaller community restaurants. This is definitely a great place to do that. read more

I been excited to try this place ever since they opened but I just haven't had the chance yet but when I saw they were doing breakfast I just had to be there. This place has an cool look to it with the exposed brick it has kinda industrial style to it. But it has that historical look to it that is special to the community. The food was incredibly delicious and had a scratch made feel to it. I consider myself a biscuit and gravy snob and this place had the best I have ever had in my life. The person I was with 4 meats that came with her meal. A portion of summer ham, bacon, sausage links and pork belly. Which she is still talking about an hour after we ate. The only reason I didnt give this 5 out of 5 is because it wasnt overally warm when it got to our table but I'm chalking this up to being first day hiccups. I will for sure be back again read more

This place is a bit far of a drive from Grosse Pointe, but we were going out to Blake's for some cider tasting, and decided to stop based on a recommendation from a friend. We were not let down. This little cafe is pure perfection from the cute decor, friendly waitstaff, and delicious cafe style menu. Prepare to be stuffed because all of the food has great portions. The prices were fair for the amount of food received. You can tell everything is scratch made, down to the bread. High quality! Worth the stop and I wish we lived closer. read more

The Rustic Bluebird was just fair for me. However, my wife liked them a lot. This place is no longer in Romeo probably because many other people felt like me. But they are still in Almont if you want to make the drive. read more

Moved out of Romeo. Moved north to Almont. Haven't been to the new location but have heard from friends that food is still top notch!

I was so happy to revisit this sweet place after such a long absence only to find out how much had changed-and not for the better. I can't continue to visit without a restroom on location. Please don't send me across the street to a gas station to wash my hands or take a child to the bathroom. That's just too difficult. And please I need your coffee back and also water. And please do clean off the outdoor tables between diners. I've loved this place but some of the sparkle was definitely gone after my last visit in October. Don't go too "RUSTIC". read more

Walked in not knowing what to expect. Sounded like a cute little place to grab a bite for lunch. You don't just get a bite, you get a mouthful. WOW were these portions huge. The sandwiches are gigantic and could easily be shared. I ordered the CARB Salad. I would order this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. The ingredients were fresh and crisp and the mix of flavor in this salad was just what I needed. If you can, know what you want ahead of time as it is a walk up and order and they have LOTS of options. read more

Absolutely fantastic sandwiches. We go out of our way to pick up food from this place. Disappointed they moved from Romeo to Almont. Give it a go! read more

A nice option if you don't want to go to a chain place, but the food isn't all that memorable to me. It isn't bad by any means, just in my opinion isn't a knockout. read more

Always fantastic food, highly recommend I'm vegetarian and lots of options, particularly like the power bowl read more

A Gem in the downtown Romeo! From freshly made desserts to huge tasty salads and don't get me started on the piled high sandwiches that'll fill the hearitest appetites! They have a few outside tables(weather permitting of course) but inside is simply adorable, the floor is a black and white check with raw exposed brick that screams cozy and welcoming. Staff and Owner are extremely friendly and are happy to answer any and all questions. Excellent Lunch/Brunch/Snack spot or jus somewhere to have a business lunch. Think Ladies to Lunch but these ladies have a good appetite! Making this my go to hang out spot when I take my Doggy(LoLa) to the groomers! read more

We arrived and were greeted by a lady, who i later learned was the owner. She seemed friendly and explained that we could order at the counter. I decided to order an americano and asked the cashier lady if I could order something to drink. She didn't seem friendly, and said "help yourself". Im thinking to myself , uh, I think it would be frowned upon if I walked behind the counter to run the espresso machine. I clarified that i wanted an americano. I got the vibe that she didn't seem happy to be there. Anyways , I ordered the half turkey with Avacado sandwich and cup of lobster bisque. The sandwich was brought out, and I could believe how much sliced turkey was on it !! It was massive ! It looked amazing , but the flavor was average. I removed over half the turkey from my sandwich and ate the rest. I was hungry. The turkey was similar in flavor to off brand grocery store deli turkey. It wasn't that good. (I recommend they cook their turkey breast on site; better flavor) The lobster bisque had a cheesy flavor to it and was overly salty. I couldn't finish it. I'd like to give this place another try. Their extensive salad selection ? read more

Live around the corner from this place and only been in Romeo 5 yrs but they have fantastic food! The Turkey sandwich is so huge I have to break it down into smaller bites for myself while husband enjoys the "man-size" fit.. Lol Never had a bad meal there. Thx read more

Ordered the shrimp avocado salad with eight grilled shrimp and a quarter of an avocado. It was too little for the amount of greens. They need to increase the price in order to get more main ingredients or lessen the greens. It was unbalanced. My favorite salad and I think a bargain considering the bbq pork portion is the Blue B Q salad. Right amount of main ingredient for the entire salad. Excellent! Great staff in Almont. read more

Great BBQ sandwich. Had the pulled pork. Great smoked flavor and fresh. Tucked back off the street in downtown Romeo in complex with a small diner and great Thai restaurant but worth the stop for some barbecue in Romeo. read more

What a great little place. Loud and busy and with good reason. The food is just terrific. Today I had the Dill Pickle Soup. Wow! Delicious. First time I have ever had this soup with actual chunks of dill pickle in it. Also had the Maurice. People still wax poetic about the Maurice Salad they used to serve at the Hudson Department Stores and it was a good one. The one I had today was better - so tasty. Great dressing and so full of all the things needed to make a really good Maurice. The staff are so accommodating and polite. Also fast and efficient. Love this place. read more

Highly recommend! read more
