Partners and long-time friends, Ryan Hines and Jay Kulas believe that the most important moments in life are about building relationships and usually involve a great meal. Maintaining a friendship for over fifteen years, the two shared a common approach when it came to opening a restaurant - to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for friends and family to gather, curate experiences and build meaningful connections.

Stripping away the formalities of the typical dining experience, The Rustic Spoon is serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch while focusing on quality local ingredients, family recipes, warm service and a relaxed causal ambiance. Rooted in family, friends and food they offer diners a one of a kind atmosphere to enjoy comfort food recipes with a modern and local twist.

We started with a brussel sprout appetizer which was amazing. All four meals we ordered were cooked to perfection and were very, very good. Three of us had the Steak au Poivre and one had the Crab Cake. Service was great. Quality of ingredients was excellent!

The staff was friendly from the moment I walked in the door. They were prompt. I ordered Brussel sprouts, the biscuits and the crab bites as appetizers. All were scrumptious. No food left behind. For my meal I had the salmon salad. It was the perfect size, flavorful and my salmon was cooked perfectly. My friend had the carnitas benedict and ate every bite. Overall a wonderful experience and great atmosphere to catch up with a friend.

Three delicious breakfasts. Chocolate waffle special, shrimp & grit cake were outstanding. Third breakfast was delicious, as well. Service & greetings were excellent & made us want to return.

Server was very sweet and in it but the quality of our food and the way it was prepared was not worth 200 for 3 people. Very disappointing- this place used to be so good but it’s gone downhill. Short ribs were over cooked and beef stroganoff had all mushrooms and no beef. The Cajun pasta was overly spiced. In the positive side the drinks were really good. I hope they figure it out.
