I've been to this Rusty Bucket many times. Everything was very good. With the size of our group we had to be seated outside. Normally that's not a problem but the problem you have to watch out for is the sunset. It was very tough on our guest facing the west for about an hour and a half. Besides that, everything was great and our waitress was exceptional.

Good food. We both had the Buffalo chicken sandwich w/sweet potato fries instead of chips. Great about handling requests, like extra sauce on the side, no tomato, etc. Our waitress was excellent. She made suggestions from the menu, informed us of any specials. She didn't make a pest of herself, checking on us constantly. We were able to eat and converse as we pleased. She was a good level of attentive and offered drink refills without us even having to ask. Good casual place to eat and visit. Pricing is the only thing that would keep me from going too often, paying over $20+ a piece for lunch.

We had 6:30 reservations for outside. They had us down for inside. We should have taken the table inside because the sun was setting and the sun was directly on the people at the end of the table when we arrived. The manager refused to lower the shade even halfway. By the end of the dinner the sun was directly on the entire table and we were taking turns holding an umbrella to shade the table. We would have gone inside but it was too cold inside for a few of the people. Food was okay but below the level of an Applebees, Friday’s or Chili’s. They brought the food out but two orders were mixed up so they had to take them back to the kitchen. There was paper found in my mashed potatoes. At this point I was done with the place. The manager did take that meal off the bill. The server was nice, the people around us were nice. Bathroom was adequately clean. It’s a sad thing. I will not need to visit them again. There are other choices just next door, across and down the street.

Our server was attentive without hovering. The manager walked around to ask about our food and if it met our expectations. The club sandwich was perfect and my dinner companion had the sliders which she enjoyed. The margarita is not to be beaten. Cannot wait to go back.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The food took over an hour to arrive at our table and was not very good. Anything deep fried such as chicken strips and onion rings was greasy and tasted like fish (I am presuming everything is fried in the same oil). Waitress was not very attentive and we had to ask for refills several times after our glasses sat empty.

Out on a shopping trip with girls! Had a great experience. Service was good. The only negative I have is the waitress was clearing a table next to ours and was complaining about the tip she received from that table loudly so that we all heard.

We apologize for our server not respecting your and your guest dining experience. One of our principles that we coach is to "remember you are always on stage." We will be reminding our servers about this principle. We appreciate your feedback and allowing us to correct this.

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!

Its so great to hear how Raving Fans become raving fans. If you love our fish sandwich; I recommend you give our Baja Tacos or Blackened Salmon Salad on your next visit. Please ask for Christopher the next time you stop by.
