Very tasty! Service was good, also. I'll be back! Try the fish and chips! Wasn't too loud. Family friendly. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch at The Rusty Melon in Erie, CO & just had to share that the Hawaiian Burger absolutely hit the spot! The vibes of this place were local diner meets dive bar, super fun & very yummy (plus their burger branding is just too cute)! Our server was wonderful, very kind & helpful, would definitely visit again! read more

Really good food. We had the mac and cheese, a meatball sandwich, and BBQ burger. Everything was really good. This has a bar feel to it but our 15 year old felt fine there. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Denver/Erie, CO. I come here every time I'm in town. The staff is always kind and helpful and the atmosphere calm and friendly. The cheesesteak is one of my all time favorites [add banana peppers] and the burger is always juicy and crispy at the same time. I love Rusty Melon and wish there was one in Atlanta. read more

See all

We had dinner here this evening and everything was good. I really liked the Brisket Quinoa bowl and my husband enjoyed his BLT. My daughter loved her strawberry lemonade. The service was also really good. They checked in on us and refilled drinks before we even asked. We sat in the side that didn't have the bar so we were able to have a little more space and conversation. We enjoyed our visit and would return again. read more

Its been a few years since I was here. Better yes, Average yes. Food: Much improved from back in 2018, yes. Amazing, no. Basic bar faire at prices that are prob about 10% too high for what it is. Had Meatball Sub and Italian Nachos. Beer: small draft selection but at least there are some workable options for those who do not like IPAs Decor : has not changed since 2018 still the same drab spartan, dive-bar look and feel. I dont about decor much as long as things are clean and the food is good. Service: Very friendly but also very slow and not super attentive... took us 20 min and me going to get our server to finally get to place an order. Would I go back, yes but only if others want to go. read more

Loved the grilled chicken burger. It was fresh, hot and delicious! The atmosphere is spot on for fun sports bar! The waitstaff were attentive and made sure we had what we needed. It was our second time here and everything was just as good at this fun lil bar and grill in Erie! read more

Great menu and atmoshphere! Love how you can seat yourself and there's a great patio option complete with a water feature. However, when patio sitting you will not receive great service. The table next to us warned us and we witnessed them have to ask for refills and get their tab. We then had the same exact experience. Food was wonderful- hot and delicious and just as ordered. Refills were never given and we were very thirsty on a hot day. Also feels like a rip off when you pay for soda and don't get a free refill. Waters and sodas were consumed and not refilled. read more

This place feels a little higher than a sports bar, but it's definitely a sports bar. It also feels very small town - especially with the local sports teams on the wall. It was pretty clean and tidy inside which was nice. Service was okay. We weren't greeted but more so told to sit down wherever we wanted to; which we did. Waitress didn't know what was on tap and told us to go check what was on the list over by the front door. We ordered our drinks and then took a look at the menu. Food looked good, I opted for the normal burger but wanted cheese and bacon added which was an option under the item. Girlfriend got the rattlesnake burger, which she liked. When my burger came I noticed it didn't have the cheese nor the bacon. I didn't really care at this point and just ate the food. The burger and the fries were good, and I would try this place again. Everyone deserves a second chance. Overall service was lacking just a bit, we'd say our thanks when things were delivered to the table and the waitress would just walk away without so much as a smile. We'll come by again to try some of the other items, hope for some better service. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Ate here probably 3-4 months ago and was pretty good. Unfortunately that is not the case today. Ordered wings and cheese sticks. The cheese sticks were burnt and not even slightly warm. Wong's were decent but got 7 drums and one wing piece. I will never eat here again. Ever. read more

Food would have been good if it wasn't cold when it arrived at the table. We ordered nachos and french dip. Service was on the slower side and it was a good thing we didn't have anywhere else to be. I even recognize we were in a corner and not by the majority of customers in the bar area. As a past server myself I don't often tip less than 20% but this time it was warranted. Might give it another try? read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and boy were we pleased! Very good service and excellent food. I had a jerk chicken bowl with plenty of chicken, great veggies, a delicious blend of grains, and a very flavorful jerk sauce. My friend had the cauliflower wings. Way above average - crispy but not overly breaded, flavorful, yummy sauce. The rest of the menu included creative burgers, a selection of Mac n cheeses, sandwiches, and some tasty sounding salads. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

Food is typical grease fried stuff. I guess the place is good for people drinking and wanting some grease to soak up the alcohol but for food there are much better options read more

Meh, kind of a trashy, dive bar feel to it. Was looking for a burger in Erie, and while it was edible, it wasn't great. Wouldn't come back.

We hands take out, the food was ready onetime. The staff were friendly. The tasty and a good portion size.

My friends and I come here for lunch on Fridays every now and again. Great burgers, the meatball sub and steak sandwiches are great. The smoked wings are delicious. My favorites are the Reaper burger and hybrid reaper Hawaiian burger. The staff are great, they are very attentive and helpful. read more

It was pretty crowded when we got there but we got a seat close to the bar. The service was fantastic despite how busy it was. The wings were excellent. Seemed like bar food, but it was very good. No good wine, but plenty of good beers. Enjoyed the unpretentious bar food and atmosphere. They changed the station on the TV for me several times without complaint (college football games) read more

Food: Yummy! I had the bbq bacon burger which was yummy! I enjoyed the onion rings being on there too, it added a nice crunch. The fries were nice and really crispy! Could use with a little more flavor, but other than that delicious! I also had a tiny bit of the mac n' cheese which was creamy, and had a good flavor. Service: Good! Our waitress was nice and attentive, especially since it's a choose your table restaurant. Ambience: It is a cute little pub, and was very busy! Overall: Good food and good experience, would come back!! read more

The Rusty Melon is okay. My husband and I tried to order dinner on their website and that was a near disaster. Not only did the system charge me twice, but the Fish n Chips I wanted to order wasn't clickable on their website. It was frustrating to get all the way to the check out tab just for it to be like, "you can't order this even though it's on the menu." I ended up ordering some non memorable meal and when we picked it up, my husband mentioned to them the hiccup with their online ordering system. Apparently, they're aware of it. The guy also assured us that our card would only be charged one time when it fully processed -- which was true. Thanks, but it still left a bitter taste that it happened in the first place to no fault of our own, but whatever. I'm not eating here again. read more

Friendly neighborhood restaurant with bar. Food is always delicious and of high quality. All their staff are very friendly and welcoming

Food is pretty good, but there is not any charm or nice atmosphere. Pretty expensive as well; we paid $75 for a burger, kids meal, two salads, and an appetizer. No drinks at all. Waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Would probably be 4 stars if we didn't have to wait probably 45 min to eat on a Wednesday night. read more

Ordered a burger and fries. Fries were cold. Its not that difficult for a cook to time the fries to be ready at same time burger is. Burger was ok. Might be awhile before we're back. read more

Their bbq mac and cheese is delicious but I got the wings this time and they were pretty tough/dry and there is still a feather on one so I didn't finish them. read more

Service was great. My husband enjoyed his Philly Sandwhich. I ordered Buffalo Mac and it was not so good. Very much just watery cheese. read more

Good food and good service. The jalapeño poppers were the star of the show. I had the Greek power bowl, it was tasty but a bit small in my opinion. read more

I've lived in Erie since 2018. Ever since the miner's tavern closed a few years back, I've been coming here five nights a week. I work on my computer and have a beer. I'm a regular, if there ever was one, and have met all the servers over the past many years. Tonight, I got some distressing news that Zack may no longer be working here. To be clear, I don't think this is a smart decision for the business or the community. He is, by a notable margin, the best server to have worked here -- easily the best in Erie (I was first served by him at another establishment). Further, I recently dined at Bruto (one of the first Michelin star recipients in Colorado) and I wouldn't hesitate to say that Zack's capacity for service, attunement to customer needs, and care for the overall functioning of the business, would be an appropriate fit for a place like that. Your people matter most in a small business -- don't lose this one. read more

The balsamic chicken wasn't amazing it but wasn't bad. Staff was friendly and food came out quickly

I got the pineapple burger and it was great cooked medium like I asked for. Husband got the Italian nachos and there were enough to have everybody snack on some. I would go back to this restaurant. read more

The food here was AMAZING. I had a chicken parm sandwich and it was huge. The fries are seasoned and crispy. The kids meal portion was very big. Service was a little slow but you could tell she was trying. The patio looked really nice but it was too windy for us to sit there. The only thing that bugged me was they didn't have a beer list which seemed odd. read more

This is first time I've given a 5 because of our server. Ask for Amber and just enjoy the friendliness and professionalism. Fish and chips and Rueben were outstanding. But not as outstanding as Amber. read more

I had a great mushroom Swiss burger. My only complaint is the mushrooms were very wet and the lower part of the bun was wet and falling apart. Suggest the cook drains them before putting them on the burger. Service friendly and quick. Be warned the acoustics are awful and sound bounces off the walls. It is annoyingly loud. Suggest you sit outside weather permitting. A singer was setting up and I would useably hangout to hear them. With the noise level being what it is I left before they set up. If you're okay with the noise it's a nice place. read more

Great local pub with good food and drink. Staff is always on point and there is enough to entertain the kids as well. It's a great 'locals' place with fair prices as well! read more

The food and service here are both fantastic! The burgers are phenomenal, as are their pasta dishes! The Shrimp and Chicken Cavatapi is excellent and never dissapoints!!! Drink prices are super reasonable as well! Soooooo glad this place is in Erie! Its comparable to the Lazy Dog in quality, but MUCH more reasonably priced! read more

Service is very friendly, but the food is just "meh." I've been here three times and I've never been wowed by the food.

We had a lovely dinner out on the back patio. Our server was just the right amount of attentive.

I don't come here often and tonight I was reminded why. We waited over an hour for our food. We didn't see our server from the time she took our order and brought our drinks until after our food came. The food was mediocre and Luke warm. And the 3 other tables seated near us all had similar issues and had to send wrong items back or get up themselves to get things. We had simple items too... Blt, mozzarella sticks, fries and wings. Wish erie had a better and more consistent hole in the wall place. read more

Stumbled on this place and so very glad we did!! Great service, food was terrific and prices were good too. Highly recommend, hard to be disappointed!! They also have really nice outdoor seating. We will be going back forsure! read more

This was delicious! I loved the beet salad but I had a terrible time deciding between the beet salad and peach salad. After speaking with owner he shared that they were actually fresh beets they roasted. I would order this again. My husband loved his broccoli & beef macaroni and cheese.... He didn't share it but he loved it as well. We will be back ..... read more

We ate at the Gunbarrel location. Everything was excellent, the food, service and atmosphere etc. We will definitely be back for more of Everything! I had the Reaper, sauce was spicy so glad I got it on the side, delicious burger! The fries are the best I've ever had, so perfectly crispy and tasty. We also had the Mac n cheese and M80 shrimp all were just as good as the burger. read more
