Ordered the double stack chicken quesidilla....it was awful...there was barely any filling in it. Should have sent it back..it was soggy and just not good. If we hadn't been with a group of people would have definitely sent it back. Waitress never came back and checked on food after it was served. The double nickel salad is excellent...highly recommend. Another person in the party loved the buffalo chicken sandwich..very large and good.

Rusty bucket has always been one of our favorite places to go for a quick bite in Mason. Their service is usually very good and the waiters are fun and friendly. The food is delicious and consistent. My favorite is the French onion soup. We were there Saturday night. They could have used a few more waiters and waitresses as we did have to wait. About 20 minutes for someone to come to our table, but they were pretty busy. All in all I recommend Rusty bucket, good value, good food and a nice friendly atmosphere

We had always kind of dodged the Rusty Bucket. Not for any good reason, but we'd never tried it over anything else. Last night we decided to give it a go. Man, we underestimated this place. The service was extremely friendly but not pushy or intrusive. The food was tasty and a good value. The 32oz beer was a solid value, and the brown bag can surprise was fun and also a solid value. Don't get me wrong, this isn't cheap eats. It is, however, reasonable prices for a family dinner at a 'sit down' restaurant and sports bar. We'll be back.

Ben m was our server that is not very friendly. We’ve had him a few times now. Was hoping it was just a fluke the other times. But he is not friendly, gets annoyed. If you make any changes to the food, you’re ordering, doesn’t smile, and has no personality. we come back will definitely be asking not to be seated in his section.

Wish I remembered our server’s name. She was excellent. Very friendly and professional. Sat in the bar area and watched some of The Masters golf. We never felt rushed. Food was served promptly and hot. Very enjoyable evening.
