Needed a quick dinner spot to meet a friend and Rusty Bucket never disappoints! It's now a "go to" place for me. Made a quick reservation via Open Table and got in, then perused a great menu of options. i settled on the Cod-Wich while my friend enjoyed the meatloaf. Both were wonderful!

Excellent food and fantastic service from everyone we encountered.

It was very tasty and the waitress was very helpful but I do think it's a bit overpriced for the portion. It was also very cold in the restaurant which diminished my enjoyment a bit but overall very good.

Margaritas were the special drink, but I sent mine back. It was so bitter that they must have left out the simple syrup. The salad was great with feta cheese crumbs and a great dressing. The hamburger was very good. My friend had wings and also liked them.

Our waitress had no voice so it was concerning that she might be contagious. My husband is post chemo immune compromised so it put a damper on our dinner. Chips and salsa appetizer only came with a few chips and no one offered to refill. The manager filled our drinks because our waitress was not around for a while… we waited a while before we could track her down for our check.

Good service. Good food. Cost a little more then I expected. Used to have daily specials and I missed that. For those of us that don’t eat potatoes, needed more side vegetable selections.

Get the fried pickles!!!! Fantastic food and a great sports bar atmosphere

Great girls day for a drink and quick bite.

Good food to go with great beer. Service was great, very tentative and friendly. Glad we didn't bring the kiddos, I'm sure there's something that few kids would eat, but not my picky eaters. More of an adult menu, according to my household. Would go again as a date night, most definitely. If you haven't tried it, worth the visit. I've pictured their Cheese steak sub, with onion rings.

Made reservations for 10 for Father's day. When we got there, it took 30 min for someone to even come over to us. We were told that we were sat in a section that didn't have a server yet. Once we finally ordered, I specifically told our server that I wanted my cheeseburger plain, cheese only. No lettuce, no tomato, and especially no onion as they make me sick. I repeated this 3x. When the food came out, my friend's food never came out. Turns out, it was never ordered. Then mine came out and had lettuce, tomato and mayo. I reminded the server that this should have been plain. He brought me a new top bun. When I bit into the burger, I found, hidden under the cheese was a ton of onions. Again, I told the server that this was supposed to be plain and that onions make me sick and I just got a mouthful of them. He said he'd bring out a new burger. By the time it came out, everyone at my table had finished their meals and we were ready to leave. I never got to eat my meal, and no one, not the server or the manager offered to take my meal off the bill. They clearly can't get orders right and when they forget an order and get one completely wrong, twice, the least they can do is offer to make it right. We definitely won't be back and not because of the mistakes, because they happen. We won't be back because of the terrible customer service.
