Diners, like Dave, have echoed sentiments that these are some of the best fries they’ve ever tasted, perfectly complementing any meal. Whether paired with a chili dog or enjoyed solo, these fries are not to be missed.
Burgers are another highlight of the menu at Rusty's. Pat, a repeat visitor, shared his experience of biting into a mouthwatering pulled pork burger that left him "speechless." The quality and flavor in each bite reflect the restaurant's commitment to exceptional food. Meanwhile, vegetarian options like the veggie burger also shine, proving that Rusty's caters to various dietary preferences.

Great hotdogs, amazing chips, yes amazing chips, most of the time chips from anywhere are just ok but these where some of the best we've had, very crunchy and loads of seasoning. We had the rusty dog and a tropical one, both really nice but honestly it's hotdogs so it's as good as they can be in a way. Great staff and very accommodating for a request that wasn't on the menu anymore.

Can't get any better dogs than this. we tried German dogs, Mexican dogs, Smokey dogs and chili dogs, All superb dogs, not one disappointment. kids also love the cheese dogs. And the load of fries are a must side to have. We also enjoyed the harbour side walk, it's a very good town and food here.

Great burgers, sausages, fries, drink and açai bowls here! We were three families for a quick lunch, preferring a variety of meals, all were really good and very fairly priced. Service was quick and location is just on the water which ads to the vibe.

One of the best in Forster. I had the Rusty's hotdog and it was amazing and the staff is friendly aswell. Came back the next morning, had the pulled pork burger and it left me speechless, it is really good. Came back again today and get the same order with Rusty's fries. 5 stars is not enough.

With good and fast and high quality this place was on a super busy day we went with a group of 15 to order + a ton of other people over 20 showing up and ordering while one person worked now onto the rest Food: o god the food was so good I wanted to go lower all my other reviews. The rib roll was to die for. The Mexican fries was the best loaded fries I have ever had. All my family loved the burger hotdogs and other loaded fries. So good when visiting the area we only plan to eat here ( my sister who lives nearby has since gone back and it still so good) The place: it a lovely food truck right on the water at Forster Staff: staff was super nice and willing to answer all questions we had

Amazing hot dogs we had the German Dog and Rusty’s Dog and both were great. Pricing seemed fair considering the location and it was great to see that they have added seating since last time I was there.

One of the best random finds we have found for eating out. The food was absolutely delicious! And the portions are definitely not something to complain about. There was only one guy working when we got there and it got quite busy but when we got our food it came out well presented and hot which is something I don’t normally expect with one staff rushed off their feet. So well done to you! Would be a regular if we lived down in Forster. It’s well worth the visit and in a great spot down near the water especially for a pelican lover
