Rustic Cafe

I was refered to this cafe by a friend, who told me the food was great and the price is right! I now go there at least every two weeks! It is a small little cafe with about 10 chairs around the bar and 10 tables. The food is always fantasic and they have themes every week. The do special drinks and all kinds of local beer on tap. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is always friendly and has a very hometown feeling. There are regulars there for sure and they always are up to meeting new people. They have a cute outside patio when it is warm outside and a firepit outside when it is cold. It is a hidden treasure for sure. I recommend going. Very casual and fun!

Somewhere between Boston and NYC is a place called East Lyme that left me pondering whether this was the birthplace of Lyme Disease as I drove through? No sooner than I came up with this half-baked thought I noticed an out of the way bar called Rustic Cafe (RC) along Boston Post Rd. Feeling hungry and in dire need of a bathroom I stopped to take a look and maybe score some grub. My trusty Yelping companion quickly learned from weary ghosts of Christmases past that RC was known for their lobster rolls. We each ordered a roll along with French fried sweet potatoes, New England Clam Chowder, potato and bacon soup and a side salad to delude ourselves into thinking that by having a lettuce leaf would somehow turn our artery clogging meal into something healthy. We washed the whole lot down with surprisingly good Cabernet and a mug of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer poured from a tap, respectively. Everything was very good. The lobster roll was primarily made from joint and claw meat. Nevertheless the roll tasted fresh and succulent and served by very friendly waitresses. The bartender invited me to play the guitar I was admiring but I instead decided to finish eating my soup. I very much recommend this joint and not because it seems there is nowhere else to go to for miles.

One of my new favorite places! Great food!
