The Rusty Putter - Ave Maria

Usually service is excellent...however if it is short staffed, service pays the price unfortunately.

I only go here because it’s the least gross of the three gross options in Ave. The food, which is not cheap, is mediocre at best. They force you to pay a tip even for takeout (I would tip anyway, but why make me pay without letting me choose how much), and the service when I pick up isn’t great, mostly impersonal and cold.

Beautiful golf course. Very friendly people. Great place to hang out with your friends

Went there at around 11:30 on 1/30/2024, after being greeted by no one we asked a lady where we should sit, was told inside or outside, our choice. Sat down outside directly in front of the bar, it was not busy at all. after being ignored for almost 15 minutes a waitress asked if we had been helped? No apologies, the girl behind the bar is pointing out golfers she thinks she sees to another guy behind the bar, while we are being ignored. Ok things happen, we order 2 beers and wait another 10 minutes. we can see the bar, the bartender, and our waitress just disappears. So of course we just left. No greeting from anyone coming or going. I don't like to leave negative reviews but this is warranted.

Great service and the good was very good. We have had bad experiences with service and food in previous years but we're pleasantly surprised at quality, choice and freshness of food.It was quite chilly in the restaurant.
