great service & delicious food. best potato i've had in a long time and the toppings were also superb. generous portions too! I pretty much gave birth to a baby potato in the restaurant. will be back next time i'm in ballarat

I think I’m in love with the Rusty Spud! The food and decor are divine. The prices are low too. You gotta try this place!!!

I've only been once, but the meal was flavourful and though it was an unusual combination (egg Benedict), it worked well. The one lady seems to do everything (food and coffee making), but does a great job! And there's small homewares and art for sale too.

The Rusty Spud - Not only does it have a truly lovely atmosphere, vibe and Owner, but it also has the most delicious meals 😊 The "Base Model" was absolutely delicious and very filling! That and yes, a lovely Cappuccino, was perfect for a latish Lunch. So go and take a look and a taste, and I definitely will say that you will not be disappointed! 🤗 🥔 👍

The space and lighting here were absolutely amazing! So good that I don't even need to edit / filter my photos. The food was a great balance of heavy and light, warm and cool. It was very filling though - me and my friends had a big breakfast before coming here for lunch, and the four of us could only manage to finish two of their spuds. They have "Tight Tuesdays" deals - great bang for your buck - and you can change the potato out to sweet potato for just +$1 (I thought it read $7 because of the font but the lady kindly corrected me and made sure I wasn't scammed haha) We got the Bacon is for Life spud and the Mexican one, but if we were more hungry we would have wanted to try the Italian Stallion as well!
