It could be that it was a quiet week night, but we were getting ready to leave before any one sat us at our table. They took a while to recognize there were people waiting. The service was also slow. There were only a few tables and it seemed like our server was not very attentive to us.
This place is amazing! Our waitress Sarah was great and so was everyone that came by our table to talk to us!

Seated by fireplace on a cold day - barriers between tables and booths. Had a nice relaxing lunch with a good friend.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review!! We are so happy your first dining experience with us was fantastic!! We look forward to seeing you again! Sincerely, Britni Lemon GM
Service was excellent. However, the food was swimming in grease. Had an artisan pizza and the Philly cheesecakes sandwich. Both so greasy and sloppy they were difficult to eat. Kettle chips were stale. High prices for such low quality fare. Very surprising as I had read such positive reviews before going. Will not return.
Flexible when I ordered an off-menu grilled chicken sandwich that was delish!
GREAT experience! Our first time there, and now one of our favorite restaurants. The portions you get are amazing and the food/service is even better!
The Salmon dinner was great, as were the Blueberry Bellas.
Great place to watch football 🏈 😍. Incredible food. Luv the atmosphere
Ordered fish and chips. Fish was dry and the tartar sauce tasted like it had sat in an opened refrigerator for a while and tasted terrible. Ended up not eating it. we were with other people so didn't want to make a big deal out of it. waitress wasn't attentive at all.
Fun x w friends. Our server Tiffany was fun & efficient
Food was very tasty. Great casual dining restaurant.
Food was great! Service was fantastic! Definite value during happy hour!
Great spot to meet friends for a casual dinner. Our server was delightful. Will definitely return.
Awesome experience as always. The bartender is very engaging and friendly. She always knows our drink order when we sit down.
The Rusty Bucket is always a good place to grab a casual bite to eat and a cold drink!
This was, honestly, one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a while. We should have known it was going to be bad when, after we added to the waitlist thru OpenTable at 6:50’ish we got a call from the restaurant to make sure we knew they closed at 8. When the 5 of us were seated Britney got snippy when asked if they served Coke or Pepsi (since it wasn’t on their menu). When we ordered 3 of the part ordered off the restaurant week menu and two did not. She insisted to get their dessert ordered (part of the special) when they ordered their meals. For the other two she did not offer any add-ons like salad or anything, just moved on to the next person. All of our food was delivered by food runners and Britney was rarely around. When she was she seemed more interested in us leaving than our satisfaction. When it came time for dessert the 3 desserts were brought out and at NO TIME were the other two asked if they would like any dessert (or refills) and one person’s glass was removed with the other dishes. One of the people who did not get dessert was obviously annoyed and no attempt was made to remediate the situation. This is not a place my friends and I will be returning to any time soon, if ever again.
I ordered the chicky chicky bowl. It was good but not much chicken in it.
The bread pudding is the best .
Went for 614 Restaurant week and the food was fantastic as always. If you have not tried the S'more Brulee, you should.
We came in to enjoy restaurant week. The prices on their website were different from their printed menus, but they were willing to correct that. We went there because they have good gluten-free options. Unfortunately, the kitchen messed up and didn’t make the meal gluten-free so we had to wait about 30 minutes after our salad was served to get our meal. There was nothing done to try to provide compensation for their mistake. They apologized, but didn’t offer anything additional. It left us feeling under valued as a customer.
Table was ready and we were not rushed. Enjoyed our time there!
Always a pleasant time at the Rusty Bucket in Hilliard. Good food and good service.
Family came in from out of town. They have dined at another Rusty Bucket before and wanted them again. This was our first time at this location. Our waitress took everyone’s drink orders, with exception of one person. She never asked again. Our meals came out in two’s. With about 10 minutes between!!! I have never seen this happen anywhere before. Our waitress spent very little time at our table and did nothing to earn her tip or a return visit from us.
Great service. Good food and drinks. Did not have to wait long for food after ordering
A nice atmosphere and pretty tasty food. The drinks seem a little pricey even during happy hour.
Great service, great food! We had a wonderful experience!
We ate on the patio which was nice except one of the other tables had a child that screamed a lot. It was nice to see that they brought back a bigger menu with a lot of the same things that were on it before especially the trio.
We had a great dining experience celebrating our grown son’s birthday. The Rusty Bucket is amazing at serving their customers as well as honoring the rules of the health department. Our server, Tiffany, was the best! Everyone had an awesome time.
We had an enjoyable experience at the Rusty Bucket
This is our favorite Rusty Bucket! We love the salmon. They fix it just right!
Everything was great my wife just loves the salmon
I have always been a fan of Rusty Bucket and the way they have been able to maintain a pleasurable experience in the current situation with Covid is a testament to the great service that they provide!
We had a wonderful meal. Everyone has taking the appropriate precautions for COVID. We will be back to Rusty Bucket soon. Thanks
Rusty Bucket is a family favorite. We were so glad they were reopening after quarantine. The cleanliness and safety precautions are excellent and the service and food was great!
The Double-Nickel Salad was delicious. It was served up differently than in past, which was a platter and now is served in a bowl. I would assume that it's probably a consideration for having the least contact on the serving ware by the server. The guests on patio were spaced well and it was nice temperature and the traffic noise was not too bad. Our server was quick to bring the drinks, but then didn't take our order until I asked another server to alert our server that we were ready. Then he promptly arrived. The food arrived in good time, as did the check!
This was our first dining experience with 'patio' dining for COVID 19. We appreciated the ability to make a reservation for the patio and we were seated right away. All the staff seemed to be following appropriate protocols and were friendly during the whole dining experience. Look forward to the return of the full menu, but totally understand why it's not in place not. Thanks for making us feel safe to eat out!
