The Rustic now takes credit cards at the box office and snack bar, adds digital projection, and becomes one of the top family spots for summer in Little Rhody, the best since Rocky Point Park. I go there every year anywhere from 4-10 times per season. The food's good, the movies first-run, and it's just a grand piece of Americana calling back to the old days of the Lonsdale Twin, the Ponta Del Gada, the Hilltop, and the Shipyard.
