    Our server, Austin, was excellent! Energetic with a constant smile on his face, he checked on us periodically and ensured everything was as we expected. My spouse’s cherry milkshake hit the spot. The buffalo chicken sandwiches were good (they would be great if they were grilled rather than fried). The folks at the host stand were helpful in assisting me in getting my spouse in and out of the door. Thank you!

    We had a good experience at the Rusty Bucket in Clintonville this afternoon. The food was good and consistent with our prior visits. Our server was friendly and stayed in touch with us without being annoying. The Cubano sandwich was awesome and my wife was more than delighted that the daily special was Coney Dogs! Finding the handicapped ramp was a little difficult, but they had plenty of handicapped spots and they were all close to the main entrance, which isn’t always the case, believe it or not.

    Blaine, our server, was spot on! The turkey Reuben was divine (as always!- just wish the sodium content was a little lighter!). The French Onion soup and Double Nickel salad were fabulous.

    Overall really good. Service was excellent. Both burgers were both great as well as the French toast. The corn bread and goat cheese appetizers are so tasty.
