Rusty Duck Dexter, IA
Just off I80 and not far from Des Moines.
I took my Beautiful wife to The Rusty Duck to celebrate Valentine's Day early. Since she is a Valentine Baby I wanted to keep Valentine's just about her Birthday.
I made a reservation and really didn't need one this Saturday evening. We got sat by the waitress cleaning station and they wouldn't let us move. That's my only complaint. We kept getting interrupted as the waitstaff got items. They keep the tray tables there as well as the cleaning supplies. Splish splashing and banging items. That made it difficult to relax for me.
We started with the onion rings. I got the Full and we only ate a quarter. It's a huge portion. The onion rings were delicious with light breading. A great starter. I would recommend the half for two people.
We both choose the Top Sirloin, baked potato, and salad.
The salad was great. I choose the house dressing. Everything was fresh and tasty. I loved the thin croutons and added some onion rings. Perfect. The salad comes with the dressing already mixed in and tossed.
I got my Top Sirloin with the creamy Deburgo. So decadent and delicious. The creamy garlic sauce was perfection. My steak had very little fat and was tender. Excellent flavor that just melts in your mouth. I was in steak heaven.
The baked potato was perfect with butter and sour cream. Cooked perfectly and easy to mash. It was a perfect compliment to the steak.
The portions are huge so skip eating that day. You will probably have enough for the next day as well. The food is awesome and delightful.
My waitress was phenomenal and did an excellent job as well as other waitstaff who brought food. The hostess is not much fun and I don't recommend asking to change tables.
I will definitely return to The Rusty Duck -- at The Rusty Duck. read more
