    For the price, the food was not well prepared. Ordered the blackened salmon salad and the romaine lettuce was not crisp, and contained way too much dressing. The salmon was heavily seasoned and hard to eat without having something else in your mouth to offset the salty or blackened taste/flavor. As originally stated, for the price and the preparation of food, it seemed to me to be over priced and definitely not worth a bill of over $100.00 for an adult and 3 kids to eat dinner.

    Booths by the bar are very uncomfortable. Tables high, seats low, not enough room for two people to sit across from each other without constantly kicking each other.

    We had a reservation for 7 on Mother’s Day and they accommodated us right away! We had fast service, delicious food and we sat outside, the weather was wonderful and it was an amazing time. I had major brownie points from my in-laws for making the reservation there. Awesome job Rusty Bucket! The only downside is that we wish there were more Gluten Free options available, my husband had a grilled chicken salad that he enjoyed- we just wish there were more choices.
