This is always a great place! We received great service with friendly staff and management. They have been a great place over a number of years and the only downside is they are so popular that we continually need reservations now-a-days.

Generally what one would expect at a neighborhood pub. Convenient location, good service, fairly good food. We will return but probably not on a regular basis because we don’t want to limit our dining options to a bar food menu. Not a criticism, just a personal preference!

Love this place, food always really good. Normally get the sliders, but this time got the fish sandwich with slaw, it was delicious. Colts were playing on TV so a little noisy and our waiter was in to the game. So kinda preoccupied, well watching the game, took a bit to get refills. But we’ll be back.

We’ve been going to the rusty bucket since it opened many years ago. Consistently good food and friendly service. Have used their small private room many times and that is such a bonus to have available
