Rusty Porthole

I just adore this place! Great friends and family. The food is amazing. The bartenders like Danielle and Jackie are just happy and friendly and can draw you into a good time. I never ever had a bad experience there. Might have to make a trip out there soon to see you ladies. Miss ya. xoxox

I had the blackened prime rib. It was cooked perfect. The bar staff was friendly and the waitress was awesome. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

Great food, I was really amazed. We already knew the drinks were good, my wife says best Bloody Mary’s around, but the food specials like prime rib and blackened prime rib were delicious.

Great food, great service and dog friendly. What more could you want?

Very good food and huge portions. Could do without the side veggies, definitely not local, but the main courses were fresh, generous and delicious!

Love this place! Come as you are, no need to impress… A comfortable setting to satisfy your hunger. Best burgers on the Delta and great weekend specials that rarely disappoint.

Have eaten here twice. I got the same thing both times, not sure what it was called but it was like a crispy chicken sandwich with garlic fries. Garlic fries were wonderful! Sandwich was pretty good.
Food, the service is okay. Kind of uncomfortable vibe just because it’s on Methel Island lol.
Good place for sandwiches & burgers!

So much fun when Scott is DJing! The other DJ has the shittiest attitude I’ve ever seen and should not work anywhere near other people. His attitude is a buzzkill. I love to sing, but I won’t when he’s running karaōke, I’m afraid I’ll get yelled at! (It’s happened before. I think I took too long to decide what to sing?) I’ve even seen him storm off in the middle of DJing. Can we get an attitude adjustment? If you’re going in for drinks and food, it’s pretty good. They have great burgers and steaks! The bartender Michelle is as sweet as can be, the rest are okay.

Not a terrible place. Nothing to exciting, but nothing to boring. Just a cool place to hang out with friends and grab a bite to eat. Had a chili dog and bread was just a little stale but the chili and the hot dog were great. Girlfriend had a chicken sandwich with garlic fries, both were really good. Pretty cool place, can’t complain, just don’t expect anything fancy, it’s a very bar-​like atmosphere.

Fun place away from it all… and yes, the bloody marry ’ are very tasty. Great people as well.

This is a standard river/​Delta pub and grill with a great view especially from the bar. Ambiance can be loud. A plus is that everyone seemed pretty positive. The started up a DJ around 9 PM that was playing pretty loud inside the pub. Needed another drink to be more acceptable. I’d give a A– for the service. Food is extremely simple (burgers, deep fried stuff, fish and chips). If not for the specials, we would have immediately left. We had the muscles which I’d give a C. Also had prime rib which I’d give a strong B+. Food came out to $ 44. Three margaritas came out to $ 42. I’ve experienced much better dining for far less than that.

Total dive filled with drug fiends. STAY AWAY. Tons of bugs and RATS here!!!
Please do yourself a favor and go anywhere else

Pretty cool place. Only been there to watch my step-​daughter do the frozen bun run. Stopped in for dinner and had the chicken sandwich and a Margarita. The dinner and coleslaw was really good. Will go back for sure.

The Rusty Porthole has amazing chicken strips! The servers are always very nice and very attentive. The drinks are always good and it is a nice boat ride from Stockton. If you are out on the water and are hungry, this is a great little place to get a snack and a cold drink!

The best meals on the weekends! ! Ahi tartar was sooo yummy!!! Clapping hands for chef Renee!!!

Rustic to say the least and didn’t see any parking to speak of but on the water and food is good. Wife and I had the special, half a chicken, mashed, corn, bread and it was very good. Service was good, girl in the back was hot and they had an HD TV as big as the wall. Pretty local feel to it and, other than on the water, it is as hidden as can be but a solid place with good food.

One of the best dive bars I’ve been to. Great burgers and yes bloody Mary’s are awesome. They have something going on every night. Taco Tuesday tonight and I can’t wait!

The food is surprisingly delicious. We found out about this little dive via a promotional coupon that came in the mail. We decided it would be fun to try something new and being that Bethel Island isn’t that far from where we live, we decided to check it out. I’ll be honest, from the outside it looked like a complete and total dump and we briefly talked about going someplace else, but then decided to go ahead and try it since we were already there.
I’m glad we went ahead and stayed. It’s honestly a great little spot, even though it’s not the prettiest of places. The food is simple but very, VERY tasty. The other reviewers were NOT exaggerating when they talk about how awesome their Bloody Mary’s are. Honestly, it was the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had.
My husband got the Cajun Burger and I had the New York Steak sandwich. We also got a side order of sweet potato fries to share. Everything was cooked to perfection. The waitress was quick, attentive, and friendly. Despite the place’s lack of atheistic appeal, the view of the delta is quite nice and the overall vibe of the Rusty Porthole is laid back and friendly. I’m looking forward to a return trip to try their Friday special, which is steak and lobster.

Went in the other day.
40 minutes go by.
Girls comes up and tells me a waitress will be out to take my order.
Another 40 minutes go by, and someone comes out to erase the chalk board that had the daily specials on it (steak and lobster)

I have a special place in my heart for dive bars and Rusty Porthole has now earned a place in it.
Although, this place isn’t exactly aesthetically pleasing… it does have much to offer in every other way that matters.
Food– (we both ordered the steak sandwich with beer to wash it down) good.
The bartenders and waitresses– genuinely friendly.
Ambiance– a true dive indoors (old beer signs and posters, mismatched décor, etc) and out (old patio furniture, benches and tables).
View (from the back deck) — one of the best in Bethel Island.
I like it. Solid 3 – 3 ½ stars in my book.
