We both had the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was flavorful and tender. I had the wheat bun and he had it with the sesame seed bun. It's not a small sandwich. It definitely filled the bun. The onion rings, as always, were piping hot, crispy and large in size. The cole slaw never disappoints. It has large chopped vegetables in it and it's not swimming is liquid. The gin and tonic is always good as is the margarita. Sue, the manager, stopped by to check on us and said that it was good to see us again. We really enjoy Rusty Bucket. The food has improved so much that this is now our go-to spot because we always have a good meal and great service.

Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and not noisy if you eat outdoors like we did. Nickel salad, bucket of peel and eat shrimp, their signature hamburger and onion rings all excellent.

The chicken sandwich that I had was super. The chicken was juicy, the lightning sauce was yummy, and the combination of flavors was delicious. I don’t usually eat fried chicken but this sandwich was outstanding. We shared the cauliflower with lightning sauce before ordering our entrees, so I knew I wanted something with that sauce- it had just the right spiciness!! And our waitress was friendly and efficient. If I ever get back to Cincinnati, I’d surely stop here to eat.
