Rustwater Kitchen And Taproom

Great food and great price!! I had the burger with cheddar and bacon with a side of tots. The food always comes out super fast and it’s super tasty.

This is our favorite spot in Fairfield. They have best beers, food and outstanding customer service.

Great atmosphere, great service, food and beer. What more can I ask for. The people here are great. Highly recommend this spot.

Jessie and Alex were very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing the right beer to compliment the menu. I had the "Don't go bacon my heart". Tony had the "Spicy Pastrami (pepperjack and pepperoncini). Jakob had the "Chicken Ciabatta". We all cut it in 4's and shared a bite. All had a distinct and flavorful taste. Very good.

Beer and food are delicious. Love the pubkrock music atmosphere

You are missing out if you haven't been to this spot. Great beer selection and the food menu is hard to beat, prices are solid too.

Small corner joint. Yet have a huge selection of beer. This is my second time, both times i had the Pastrami Burger. It is awesome. Some friends from work said they have a Peanut Butter Burger that is crazy good. Maybe on my next visit.

This place is so much fun! My fiancé and I came here for dinner based solely on Google reviews and I’m so glad we did! The atmosphere was so quirky and fun, the food was absolutely delicious and the beer/selection of beer was great! Can’t recommend this place enough.

It is so refreshing to see nice places in our beloved Fairfield, I hope this is the start of a great downtown. This place in particular is clean, beautiful, well organized and delicious. Great staff, very friendly. Ambiance always on point, been in the AM, and in the PM, and it is very inviting. Food is very good and affordable, their selection of craft beers could not be any better.

Friendly staff, great burger. Fries are pretty good, kind of like in & outs fries. Updated menu in picture. My new burger spot for sure.

Amazing burgers! My favorite out of the two was the PB&J Burger. They had good hot sauce on the tables, too.

Not enough good things to say abt the burger! I was first introduced to this spot by my cousin and I swear, I haven’t had a better burger than this in this area like ever! And the value is amazing, $8! They also have a cool tap room but I come for the burgers! lol -Courtney Bolger, REALTOR® eXp Realty DRE 02048878

We were greeted immediately and given the rundown: View the menu via the board (or your phone) and order at the bar. Service was pretty fast. There were about 30 people, of the 49 capacity. It's a chill vibe. The staff get along really well. The food is great. It's like a family BBQ indoors. Tater tots are especially delicious. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

I knew it was a good decision to stop in as I entered the door. They had great music playing and I was greeted with a smile. Very chill bar with a lot of great beers on tap. I tried several different beers before ending up drinking a great stout beer. The burgers are delicious and hit the spot. I asked them to turn the OKC thunder game on for me and they had no issues with it.

Don't know of a single other place you can still get a beer for less than $5 so already top notch. The food is great, quick service, love the eclectic decor & music!

Service was prompt and friendly. Never had a smash burger before but it was delicious. Burgers aren’t huge but they’re also not small, regardless the burgers are extremely satisfying. The special sauce is the bomb. Service was amazing, worth noting again because they took the time to talk to us even tho we didn’t have any drinks. Great place;)

Great Vibe with music and eclectic decor...Burgers were tasty and unique, my PB&J's burger flavors went well together plus add in the Altamonte Cervesa and I was a happy customer.... reasonable prices but skimpy napkins....would highly recommend!

I had the most amazing burger here!! Was so delicious I didn't have time to snap a pic

great atmosphere lots of cider options delicious food attentive service.

Great Notion Guava Glow - 4 out of 5 star sour - Delicious, light sour, fruity taste Paperback Screaming Melons - 3 out of 5 star - Nice flavor, sweet flower taste PBJ Burger - 5 out of 5 - If you have never tried PBJ burgers, this would be a great item to test on. Delicious Fancy fries - 3 out of 5 - Simple fries, could be better quality - Overall a good snack to have while drinking

This is a very chilled atmosphere. The music was good. Pop rock music. The girls serving the beer were phenomenal. They allow you to try the beer before you purchase it. Chili cheese fries were tasty. I think maybe they should of put a little more chili on it. We also ordered a burger . I didn’t think I was going to like it, but it was rich In flavor . Kinda like the ones from in and out if you ask me. The stouts are great !! Chocolate flavor and coffee are yum yum ! Go ahead and have a date their, you won’t regret it !

Nice local brewery with a good selection of beers in tap. They have your typical bar food, fries, tater tots, burgers. Been coming here for over 4 years. Glad the pandemic did not put them out of business.

The Beer selection was plenty and great options. The cheeseburger and loaded fries were good. Something that definitely made an impression was the great service given by the waiters/bartenders. Not too big of a place but enough to enjoy it.

Highly Recommend! Burger: loved the thin crispy patty, butter bun and toppings. The special sauce is good & seems to be one of kind. Tater Tots: Cooked and salted to perfection. Drinks: tons of options, something for everyone. Love a good straight to the point kind of place and this is one of them! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Great spot in Fairfield, CA. 😋

This is a great new local place. Newly opened we had to try it and what a great experience. Nice decor. Friendly staff greeted us at the door. We ordered the very reasonably priced food with moderate expectations and a glass of local wine. Can't comment on the beer since we are not beer drinkers. The food came quickly and what a great surprise. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was excellent. The burger was great too! The best was a basket of fresh hot fries for only $3. How can you beat that? This is going to become one of my go to places for sure.

What a great local find!!! For us, a hidden gem. We will definitely stop by again when we are vists. Food : fabulous! Staff: Awesome Vibe: Laid back and chill

100% recommended! If you are fan of burger and beer, here it is! 30 on tap + cans of selection with acceptable price. Burger works well with crunchy bacon! Burger and beer looks like a simple combination, but it’s actually not that simple to make it good!

Quite possibly our favorite burger place in the Bay Area! Their double cheeseburger is one of the best I've had, and it hits the spot after an afternoon of wine tasting in Suisun Valley. Fancy fries are also a must! And they always have a killer beer lineup.

You are missing out if you haven't been to this spot. Great beer selection and the food menu is hard to beat, prices are solid too.

Exactly what the name says. It's a great kitchen and taproom. Great variety of beers on tap (although I didn't have one this time). Food was delicious. Went there as they were rumored to be celiac friendly. No GF buns to sub, but they did the burger in a bowl which worked for us. I'd go back again next time we're in town.

Great people, food, beers, and atmosphere. It's just a super place to hang out. For Thanksgiving they made a turkey burger, chicken fried in duck fat for the ultimate turducken experience. My buddy got that and loved it. I got their pastrami burger, spicy, and it was honestly one of the best burgers I've had in ages. At the next table, folks where hanging out playing a board game.

Some friends and I stopped by for a night out. They'd been there before but it was my first time. I'm not a big beer drinker but have to say I was impressed by their selection. I sampled a few and really liked a berry cider one. There were only a few items on the menu and we are ordered two different style fries and they were pretty good. I highly recommend the loaded fries! It was the middle of the week and the place was packed so I figured that was a good sign. The place did not disappoint and I look forward to going back.

Great beer selection! The food is good and pairs with most of the beers. I would not lean on this place so much for the food as I would for the great beer selection. The biggest downside is the indoor seating. It is small and there is outdoor seating but on a cool night there is no outdoor heating.

Fantastic taproom with feel good music playing. Has an old school feel that is impossible not to love. Has fairly inexpensive food. Fairly inexpensive, but also expansive selection of beer

Small corner place downtown with outdoor tables on the side street. Tons of great beer choices. Order as you come in or at the bar. Not sure if they have table service. We sat at the bat and I had a cheeseburger and tator tots with their homemade ranch dipping sauce. Both were done perfectly. We will definetly go back again. I really liked the beer I had, wish I could remember the name. But trying a new one each time us part of the fun. I think next time instead of a 16oz I'll order 3 different 6oz

Very well kept, social staff, samples on everything except bottled ciders and beers. Best thing about this place is the extremely cheap but real food, I mean can you beat 2 dollar fries the size of a dish.

The food was great quality, but the flavor choices were a bit bold for us and not to our liking (lots of strong flavors like relish on burgers). Service was very fast and the staff was considerate and helpful, but we made the mistake of taking children there and it's not really a place for children (other patrons swear a lot).

Cool bar spot burger with the peanut butter is a must try. I also enjoyed the chicken ciabatta sandwich and the fries were extremely hot 🔥.

Rustwater has an outstanding selection of beers on draft along with a variety of canned crafted beers that you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. The food is fantastic as well. The only downside to the place is the staff who often make you feel unwanted. The guy who runs the place is awesome and does a great job taking care of his guests. He is the reason I go back. Some of the other staff, not so much. One specific bartender always has a bad attitude and negative energy. She has refused to serve me on a busy day because I was not with a group of people. Her reasoning was lack of seating space. There were plenty of open seating spots on communal benches but she refused service to me 3 times over a span of 90 minutes. As much as a I love rustwater, the unpleasant demeanor of this one specific bartender has resulted in me finding other places to enjoy a cold beer in town. She always has a problem everytime I go to there. She does not know me personally and based on my last visit, I know she does not recognize me at all. She probably treats everyone like that.

Food was okay, service was attentive but some what distant, the atmosphere was fine

Took my team here after work and the Food was good an a decent price. I paid $140 but then a. Few days later got charged an extra $86.82…. Not sure how that can even happen when I had only one tab opened and closed it out… and there’s no number to call…
