The reviews continually mention one important thing: don’t try to get to Rusty’s Saloon using your GPS. It’s not going to work. The GPS, they say, will just lead you to a dirt road – so maybe it’s time to learn old-school navigation because you’re going to want to hang out at this old-style saloon located near St. Anthony we found! Rusty’s Saloon in North Dakota is the perfect place to have dinner on your own or with friends and/or family; it’s quaint and out of the way (it doesn’t have its own official website), but it’s well worth the journey it might take to get out there.

Rusty's Saloon (and Grill) is the perfect blend of modern American bar food, steakhouse cuts, and old-school barbecue.

Even the exterior of the place seems to exude an authority about it; it seems to say that this place knows its locals and knows its barbecue - and honestly, we're inclined to agree.
The inside has the atmosphere of an old western saloon combined with a steakhouse; it certainly has that signature North Dakotan feel to it.
