Sundown Tavern

I just want to preface this by mentioning that Heather is an amazing server, and makes the best tartar sauce I've had in my life. Kudos, and props. Sundown is, I suspect, the tavernest place in Ruston. It lends itself to good music and entertainment, local and national brews on tap, and some really good catfish. It's divided between an inside area (with a bar, pool, and indoor seating) and an outdoors patio that's super chill to hang around in cool autumn days. I got two of the local IPAs on tap: Ghost in the Machine and Dr. Juice. With names like those, how could I say no? Coupled with the catfish and fries, and amazing service, it was an amazing dinner.

Great food and great people. Everything is on the menu and all of it is delicious. You won't regret going. Also some days they have live music. So today is 02/25/2022 I'm updating my review. I will not be coming back here ever again. I was told I had to pay $5 just to order my food. I was told to order at the bar. But didn't know if I need to go sit back down at my table or wait at the bar. I was yelled at by a man that worked here that I needed to move. The bartenders had an attitude and were rude to me. It was embarrassing, because I had family in town just wanting to order some food. And when are food came out it was the wrong food. I really love this place. But I'm so sad now. I will not be treated like this ever again.

Sundown is my go to quick spot in Ruston. I order the same thing every time. (They have an awesome burger selection, that includes the veggie burger) Service varies depending on time and events, but my experience has either always been good or resolved! Ruston has a college, so the environment definitely caters to them or the locals in the area. Definitely go to enjoy the patio when the weather is nice or when they have live performances. You’ll be sure to enjoy!

This is what I call a special treat! My youngest daughter and I drove about an hour to Ruston, LA (It's closer to my house) to deposit money in my Chase account, after that we decided to try out one of the local restaurants, Waze thank you for your accuracy you also deserves a 5 STAR rating as well 😉 SUNDOWN TAVERN was the first on the list... We got the grilled chicken nachos, catfish platter with a side of remoulade... INCREDIBLE!!! While I was waiting for my order, I even enjoyed drinking a Heineken and watching some of the locals play a game of pool. Everyone (including the staff) was friendly and so welcoming, I'll be going back immediately 😎
