Lovely spot, great burgers and pizzas and a few great deals mid week. They know what they do and they do it well. Superb local pub.

I love this place. One of the best atmospheres in East Oxford. Staff are unfailingly excellent. Food very good, however my family would like more choice especially creative healthy options.

Food is good, friendly staff, and lively atmosphere. Visited after work on a Friday, and there was lots of seating available around 6pm.

We have been eating here for years and the kids have always loved it but the portion sizes on the wings and other sides have been massively reduced and it just felt very stingy . We wouldn’t eat here again which is a great shame.

There are reasons why this pub won the best regional pub category in National Pub and Bar awards. It's a welcoming, innovative yet truly local pub. A great hangout for young and old alike. A true community place that keeps going from strength to strength. The staff are superlative. There's fine beer to be had too, much of it brewed by Arkells. A special shout out to their Craft Ale: cool, refreshing, malty, smooth and balanced - a great beer; bliss in a glass! Sour dough pizzas from a wood-fired oven, flame-grilled burgers.

Feels like a local pub. It was me and all the locals. Had the vegan/plant based burger with some chips. Good portion size. However, impossible to eat with hands without making an absolute mess. Not long wait time for food.

Great place tucked away off the Oxford centre. Great place for a meal with family / friends. The ales on tap are delicious. The pizzas are really well cooked with a good crispy base. The pub is also dog friendly with water and treats. Overall a great place for a quick pit stop or a longer catch up with friends.

Really poor quality vegetarian burger. Soggy (tasted undercooked), not even a slice of tomato or beetroot, tasteless. Chips were good, service was friendly. But the food really wasn't up to scratch.

Great pub, absolutely can't fault the food, service or anything else. The pizza dough is probably my favourite in Oxford, out of the numerous establishments. The burgers are also well built and the options aren't too busy either. The coffee also hits the spot to top it all. You might have trouble parking nearby so plan accordingly at busy times.

Dog friendly local pub. We often take our American friends and family here when they visit from out of town, and everyone always loves it. The interior is comfortable and cozy, and the enclosed terraced beer garden is used tear round, with heat lamps and covered areas (bundle up in the winter though!) The menu is simple (pizza, burgers, chicken strips) but good with vegetarian options. My meat-eating husband says the burger is one of the best in Oxford. Clientele is a mix of families with kids, students, and locals / old timers (it maybe varies depending on the day/time, although it does seem there are more students lately it’s still a good mix). Quiz night can be crowded, but otherwise can usually always find a spot.

Used their online system to book a table, I had no acknowledgement of the booking, so went somewhere else. Days later had an email ‘Thanks for coming’. Obviously their booking system doesn’t work, or they just ignore it.

Arrived at 2:30pm, ordered and paid for food and then waited 40 mins before discovering the order had vanished. The pub was empty and no-one checked on me in that time. I was refunded, but the response 'Sorry - we don't know what happened' bugged me, as if the whole thing is mysterious and food sometimes arrives, sometimes doesn't - who can tell?! The Rusty can do things well in the evenings and I had a good experience recently (I guess it's a shame we feel compelled to leave reviews for the bad experiences, not the good), but I would stay away during the end of the the day shift.

Continues to go downhill, sadly. The chips are just rubbish these days (old, stale, chewy, no rosemary any more) and the whole meal rarely seems worth the price, especially with a standard lager being £6.50. So, more than 20 quid for a basic burger n chips with a pint? Hmm. I won't even mention the £3.50 coleslaw. Cabbage, carrot, onion - these are luxury foodstuffs these days, and only the wealthy deserve to have them...

I'm very sorry, but we will never go here again. The prices are absolute extortion. Especially for what you get. £8.50 for a mini Aperol. I've never seen such a tiny drink. Two of my friends didn't like the cocktail and the only solution was to get the money back. The last round was announced shortly before 10 p.m. after we were kicked out of the garden. The bar was closed at 10 p.m. and shortly after 10 p.m. the lights were turned on and all visitors were chased away. That just doesn't work at all. Customer-unfriendly, too expensive, doesn't taste good and not enough for the money. No thanks. Without us.

The pub is a nice place to be, and it's always busy. I'm not a fan of their beers and this place has some horrendous examples of shrinkflation. The dodo burger is now basically a slider for £11.50, on its own. The £4 slaw, was barely a couple of tablespoons. I understand that we are now paying more for food, but I take issue with leaving hungry and still paying a fortune.

Went on a weeknight and understood that they do not serve pizza however, when asked the waiter, they did. I had a plain pizza Margherita and friend had classic burger. I really like the pizza, tasty, simple, well cooked, even better than Franco Manca. You can play board games and seems a nice, relaxed atmosphere amongst a cool young crowd as well as an older one.

Menu is somewhat rich, service at the bar is killing the vibe. Asked for a pint, the barrel ran out while the bartender was pouring it, then they changed and topped up the pint which looked like a muddy puddle but I thought it was just to looks, it wasn’t. Tasted horrible too. Oh and not to mention it was lukewarm!

This review is just about the burgers served here. The burgers are pretty good and definitely among the better ones in Oxford. I do agree with others here and feel that the meat could perhaps be a bit juicier and of higher quality, given the price of the burgers.

The Rusty Bicycle is a wonderful pub found in the middle of a residential area with a few shops nearby. A long pub, there is a real fire and a few wooden tables and benches to the left as you enter, with the bar and more seating to the right. This is a warm and friendly pub with a nice selection of craft and traditional beers on tap plus all the usual beverages. Went for the Arkells Best Bitter Beer (3B) which cost £4.50 a pint and slipped down nicely. [Check out the unusual beer taps on the wall behind the bar.] This pub does not accept cash. Order and wait at the bar for drinks, food is delivered to the table. Will definitely rerurn.

Have popped in here a few times over the years, mostly just for a quick drink but on one occasion for burgers with a hungry neice (she loved it - think I had the chicken burger and enjoyed it). Nice little back yard with plenty of seating, also a set of large picnic tables out front where you can watch the world go by over a pint, and a nice cosy interior with plenty of space for rainier days. More recently we brought family here for a late lunch - only pizzas during the day but we didn't mind that, given that they were extremely good. Nice range of topping choices, and excellently made. The in-laws approved and they're pretty specific about their pizza tastes. Drinks were good, nice selection of beers and good wines too. Staff were lovely, was very happy to use the "tap to tip" machine as we staggered out with full bellies and smiling faces.

I had never been to a ‘Dodo’ pub before and was thrown off by the lack of known brand names but the bar staff were super helpful in offering tasters and asking questions about what I like to drink. One chap was particularly good (I think his name was Tom) and found the perfect beer for me (the APA). I look forward to returning and trying the burgers when they are back on the menu.

Friendly,comfortable and unpretentious pub with a good sized and partially covered beer garden with plenty of space. The food menu is simple,basically pizza and burgers but that's good as both are very, very good (cooked properly the kitchen staff were sticking the firewood when we got there). Bar also has a good selection of real and craft ales as well as at least when we visited a proper cider (made with apples not that alcho pop stuff you get everywhere).

Took the kids here for a late lunch. Food was good but that is where it ends. Kids couldn't finish all the food so we took the food to the car to empty into the kids lunch box. As we proceeded to leave we were screamed at by a female staff member from an upstairs window, she proceeded to belittle us by screaming about us taking the plate home, we were not taking the plate home, we just used it to transport it to the car. We were unable to locate any staff members to ask for a takeaway box. She then turned to her colleague and quite used belittling language in front of the children. It was embarrassing as it was so publicly done in front of everyone sitting outside the pub and scared the children. This is shameful behaviour and unprofessional. When you go to pay for a meal for 5 of us we did expect to be treated and talked to with basic dignity. It's a shame staff lack basic manors. Perhaps a compassionate care course would help.

Unacceptable service, I was with large group spread over two tables. After ordering our food, we waited a while for the food to come out. When half the food did come, it was dumped rather aggressively on one of the tables and the staff member said I quote “to much hassle sort it out your self”. This was just the first problem, then only some of the burgers came out. There was around 15 of us and we had no clue which burger was which. We then waited even longer for the rest of the food. After asking the American manager, where the rest of the food was he very passively aggressive replied you have had it, we said we hadn’t and he basically came across as saying we were lying. He then proceed to check our order on the till, with no apology he went in to the kitchen and came out and said it’s on its way. After further questions to him after sometime, we got no response and no food so we left. A real shame because the food is incredible and it’s my favourite place to sink a few.
