    This is a great bar for Wichita. It is one of the few I enjoy going to here. The service is good. The food and drinks are good. I am not normally down for bar food due to the quality. The quality here is great! It has more of a restaurant feel than anything. They have nice outdoor seating area. You can go outside to smoke if you want. The only problem I have ever had here was parking. It is pretty limited, so you normally have to go to the lot around back for parking.

    I really enjoyed my visit to the rusty mail, very affordable and good food. I got the special which was the beast burger it was quite tasty. Came with fries and they had the most interesting seasoning on them, I couldn’t quite place it. Overall great meal would definitely recommend!

    Unique looking building and good, lively atmosphere. Bloody Mary was affordable and was just the right amount of spice. My steak omelet was perfect; everything was made from scratch. Prices are very reasonable. They have a small kitchen, so we had to wait about 40 minutes to get our food, but overall a good first experience.

    Swing in for lunch, (you know I am always looking for new places.) The atmosphere was perfect, good music, and excellent service. The crowd was light, during the busy lunch rush, but it did not speak for the food. The burger was excellent and all the right heat. I would definitely eat here again.

    I went there during lunch. Not too crowded. I had the Philly Chick. It was really good. The fries were homemade and were really good as well. Can't wait to go back to try some other dishes.

    Fantastic Food, and quality service! This place has live music just about every weekend and the other nights there’s always something happening! A great layout as well! Three different levels! And The patio is spacious with a balcony!

    Very happy with the quality of food and service. Can be very loud. Our server told us to sit upstairs next time. It's quieter there. Great prices!! Would go back. Went back, Friday nights are loud!! Still had great food.

    I split a damn good chicken sandwich and an order of nachos with beef with a friend. Everything was terrific. We ate upstairs as it was a little loud downstairs. Staff was friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the magician also. Plan on taking more friends to celebrate their recent engagement on Saturday night

    I can't believe I've lived in Wichita all my life and had never been here before. It was flat out amazing! The food was delicious. The women are gorgeous. I will absolutely be back!

    Sat for a few minutes before it was voted on who was going to take care of us. The servers was too busy sitting down eating and drinking and visiting with their friends. I understand it's a bar, but I've been to bars with delicious food. After our order was taken, we no longer received any service until our food was delivered. Not once did anyone came and ask if we need our drinks refilled. When we finished our meal, we had to find someone to find our tab to pay. It was our first visit. Not sure if I will give it another try.

    1st time here and will definitely be back when in Wichita! Hands down one of the best damn burger I’ve had in along time! Our waitress was spot on and very easy to work with! My whole family 7 of us said it was great!

    Jess was great! Our party was big and a lot of us staggered in at different times. And she was quick with coming back to our table to get all the orders on top of the main bar area being completely full. She had all the orders right and kept the drunks full. Great job!

    The place is ok, very noisy in the bar area and much quieter upstairs. I got the chicken parm sandwich. The bun was soggy, the fries were pretty good. The restroom was freezing cold, dark di gy and the floor was hella sticky...my shoes still stuck to the floor for a handful of steps to get back to my table. Not sure I would come back here again.

    I like the atmosphere it was nice only thing was the bottom was a little loud were we were at to visit acoustically. However being our first time there did not know about the secound floor and outside. Food was all very good. I would go fried over onion ring here. They were both good just liked the fries better.
