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.

    Lovely brunch with family from out of town. Restaurant Week menus was a success. Corn chowder was outstanding. Shrimp & grit cake was superb, as always. Cheerful greetings from staff, requested seats for reservation, excellent service, and all needs met.

    I was able to get a reservation for 1 via open table without a problem. Upon arriving to my reservation set for 730pm. I was greeted and sat right away. My server quickly came to take my order. I tried one of the menu items for restaurant week. My server gave me a good recommendation based on the two dishes I had in mind. Overall the food was delicious. Just wished i would’ve gotten a little more pasta & sauce be a little thicker.
