We reserved a table for 5 so we were able to sit down immediately upon getting to the restaurant. The wait staff came promptly to take our drink orders and we sat for a while and enjoyed drinks and appetizers. Our waiter didn’t bug us about ordering food quickly, so it was relaxing. Our food when it came quickly after ordering was good and the wait staff was very attentive. We enjoy patronizing the Bexley Rusty Bucket.

We go at least once a month. Today we were seated in a booth by the back windows. It was very tight snd we are just two average sized people, we ended up sitting booth on the same side do we could push the table as close as possible to the other side. The other booths we haven’t had a problem with. We both ordered the meatloaf it came with mashed potatoes and green beans with red pepper strips. It was ver good but we had to wait a half hour to get it today and we were seated snd ordered by 5:00 and not at all very busy when we arrived. Service was fine.

My friend and I went at 1:00 to avoid the lunch rush; however, the service was still slow but I do think it was because of a staffing shortage. Also, we were to sit outside but were told the patio closed because they didn't have anyone to work it. Again, staffing shortage????? Also, what happened to the Hoosier Pork Tenderloin sandwich? It was not on the menu for the Bexley, Ohio location. It is my favorite. Disappointed!

Love the Rusty Bucket! Love the food and value is good! Last night was the first time I didn’t like my wild mushroom pizza. It was a little dry and unflavored! We also were not told by our waitress that pizzas during Happy Hour were no longer half price! We come here often and do love almost everything we have tried!

The restaurant was out of my favorite Hoosier Pork Sandwich. I only get out about once every couple of months and was looking forward to it. It's my favorite. The green beans were a little under cooked and I wasn't expecting them to be served with red bell pepper. The meatloaf was kind of drab and a little dry.

We arrived and our reservation wasn’t ready, however the staff was great at finding us a table and all were extremely accommodating - not only did they find us a table they apologize for not having a table and even thanked us for being so patient. The Rusty bucket has great customer service, and I will definitely go back again.

We had friends from out of state and we thought it would be a great place to get snacks, drinks and be able to talk. It turned out to be perfect. The servers were very nice and didn't rush us for our orders. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly and was delicious. One of the guests absolutely loved the fried pickles. They had only had the slices pickles and not the spears. They were very happy with them.

Highly recommend! Rusty Bucket is a reliable "go to place". It's family friendly, has a great menu and lots of TVs so you can watch your favorite sports. We got the fish and chips and Rueben sandwich--they were excellent. For our sides we enjoyed yummy french fries and mexican corn salad which had just the right amount of kick. Our waitress was wonderful--hard working and great personality.
