Heard about this place from several people so 5 of us went there about 7:10 p.m. after trying desperately to find a parking space. We finally did and got in and we waiting in a long line in a very over crowded place only to find out that there were 33 tables yet ahead of us! We were told there would be about a 2 hr. wait! We left and will have to maybe try their fish fry another timesomeday. Food smelled great!! But far too many people waiting and smashed into the place that I worried about how we would get out if something should happen. Parking is definitely not enough in the front, side, or way back. They need to move to a much bigger place with a huge parking lot. It would be a goldmine!!! Looking forward to trying it again someday.....maybe we can get in...miracles happen! Lol.

Very good! The new remodel is beautifully done, its a very nice place to get some dinner now. We were there mid-afternoon on a Friday, and it was already getting busy. They even put in a very nice patio eating area, with extra parking behind the building as well. Everybody who knows the Rusty Nail, knows the parking can be challenging. They opened an extra area for parking in the front as well. As for the food, we had burgers that were very good, and nice sized. Of course with all fresh vegetables/condiments, a good fresh pickle, and fries. The service was perfect, our waitress very nice, and attentive without being pushy. All around improvement, keep it up.

Started working in Ringwood 26 plus years ago and visited the Rusty Nail many times. Watched it go thru several owners, some good , some no so good. Watched the clientele change several times, some good, some not so good. The current owners have changed all that to all good. Great decor, great service, friendly customers and kick butt food. Do not miss the Friday fish fry! A real treat to get an old fashion dinner that makes you want to come back for more. Lunch menu worth going out of your way for. Come early, parking can be tricky................

Went there for my first time for Friday Fish Fry for my friends birthday and out of the 8 bills at my table, my card was charged for 5 of them. Didnt even offer to pay for my bill for the accidental $203.00 charge. Pretty upset since now I will have to wait atleast 3 days (Wednesday) to receive my Monday back. Had to transfer cash to pay for the bills I had to pay. Food was good but I wouldnt go back. Service is everything..

Dont even advertise when they stop serving food. It says open till 2 am on Google. They should also say when they stop serving food. Came around 1045 on a Sat night. They said they stopped serving food at 10 pm. That would have been nice to know ahead of time instead of wasting our time going there. Couldve gone to Mikey Ds!

We love the Rusty Nail. Its great for a drink at the bar with their awesome bartender Laura or for a great family dinner. I highly recommend the Friday fish dinner. Its ridiculously good. Seriously, if you like fish at all, you have to try both the fried and baked versions.

Not the Rusty nail you may remember from years ago. The owner has made real improvements the the building. More indoor dinning space and a brick patio with large fire pit. The burgers and fish fry are awesome. Outdoor dinning with fire pit. Banquet room and gambling.

Great. I adore the main female bartender. They inhabit all consumer markets. Food and drink are always good. Typically I would say higher pricing. Ill take consistency & good quality in a nice setting for $2 more always! Well done. Smart business

Service at the bar and customers are friendly. 1st time here and had the pizza. Toppings cheese and sauce and extras were great but dough was tough and really dry. Maybe frozen not fresh make. Well try again but not get the pizza.

Great family dive bar! The food is excellent, the drinks fairly cheap, and the atmosphere inviting. Cool place to stop at while biking North through Ringwood on the Prairie Trail. Cant beat their endless Friday fish fry!

It is easy to see why this place is so busy-the food and portions are excellent & the staff is friendly. Wait times can get a bit long during rush hours, but worth the wait. The biggest challenge is parking.

Seems like a little bar from the outside, but dont let looks deceive you. They have a nice selection of beers and their food is spectacular. They even had pretty good steak and lobster.

The food is good here, especially the burgers and skillet breakfasts. It used to be hard to get a table, but since they remodeled and added tons of seating its faster to get a table.

We go the Rusty Nail 3 or 4 times a year. Its a very good "stand by" place when choosing a casual spot for dinner. Fun bar, good food, a mix of people. Taco Tuesday is a winner.

Went for fish fry on a Friday night. Great fish fry. The place looks smaller than you think, but there is plenty of seating, had a good time. No waiting the night we went.

We just left and loved it! My husband got a burger and I had the crab legs which were amazing. Kristi was our waitress and was fantastic! We will be returning for sure.

Awesome breakfasts, I think they only serve breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. I had the eggs benedict and a bloody mary. Snowmobiles pile in this place in the winter.

Service was okay... If you dont like the taste of fish come here it is very bland ... my opinion says if you want to over pay for a fish fry come here!

Always busy. Good food with awesome staff. With the new addition, probably enough tables to fit the entire town!
