    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.

    We met for lunch. Waitress service was very good, timely, and helpful. Food was very good. My wife and I had the Codwich. It was excellent! My brother had the Cuban which he said was great. His wife had a triple with Chili and a nice looking salad. She said the chili was good and thick. Would recommend very much!

    Food was good and the place was nice overall but price was high and wait time was ridiculous. We were seated for an hour before we received our food. Staff never acknowledged or apologized for the wait. And they were not very busy at the time.

    We were a group of eight women celebrating our friendship. When I made the reservation for 8 through OpenTable, it was confirmed to be a high-top table. I added a special request for a low-top table. We were greeted enthusiastically and I was elated to find the staff had fulfilled my request for a low-top table. One of our party is confined to a wheelchair and we were so grateful for the accommodation. Our server, Nick, was outstanding. He was attentive, fun, knowledgeable and answered every question. He made sure that those of us asking for modifications on the menu were satisfied. The cocktails were delicious, and our food was prepared to perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and superlative quality experience that Rusty Bucket provided.

    Wonderful restaurant! We took a shot int the dark since we didn’t know the area and hit the jackpot. The food was wonderful. The staff superb. It was my niece’s birthday and my mom and sisters and nieces had a girls weekend. This was the icing on the cake. Thanks so much for making it extra special!

    It was my brothers 16 birthday and we tried the RB for the first time. Our server Ryan had some great recommendations and we absolutely loved everything we ordered. The food was hot and perfectly seasoned. It was a lovely dinner with the family and we can’t wait to come back and try brunch for the grown ups. Thank you so much to our hostess for letting us seat a little on the later side d/t bad weather delaying travel. This place is gona be our new favorite place.

    One of the best Rusty Buckets locations. The staff is very professional and welcoming. We were there at 5:30 and our server reminded us to order before 6 to get the happy hour specials which were amazing. The food was delicious! I wish I would have gotten the server’s name because she was fantastic. Lovely smile, polite and gracious..she would be great in health care too!

    We go to this location regularly, but on this particular visit the food was just ok. Food temperature was just so-so and the portion seemed smaller. We'll definitely go back again, but maybe not at prime dinner time. Perhaps just lunch. Thanks.
