Excellent trip to the Rusty Bucket, as usual. The food was great. Our server was outstanding - conversational, and pleasant; yet professional.

Food and service were excellent. These restaurants have an upscale local bar feel but the food is better than most. Recommended.

Took us 2 hours to eat our dinner, 4 people. Waitress was gone for 10-20 periods, didn’t bring a few things we asked for, and we had to bother other wait staff to get what we needed and pay the bill.

Our waitress seemed rushed, and the restaurant was basically empty. She stopped at our table infrequently to see if we needed anything and then took forever to deliver the items to our table. She was polite just not very attentive.

We stopped by this gem of a restaurant after the OSU spring game, and what a fantastic choice it turned out to be! Three of us ordered the Trio and one went for the Club Sandwich with fries. Every single dish was spot-on—hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The nickel salads that came with the Trio were hearty and perfectly dressed, and the tomato basil soup was hands down the best I've ever tasted. It was so flavorful and comforting that we couldn't resist finishing it off, leaving the sandwiches untouched (we ended up taking them to go). The service was another highlight of our visit. Our waitress, Olivia, provided exceptional service—she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It was clear she cared about making our experience memorable. Overall, we couldn’t have been more impressed, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

Fantastic experience - had a rather large group of families post High School lacrosse event. They catered to our every need, we’re super attentive, had no issues splitting checks, and nailed the food and the bills. Oh, and the food rocks!
