    We like the Rusty Bucket. The food, service, and environment is always good. Price might be a little above average but they serve quality food and a good size portion. Definitely recommend this restaurant

    Our server made all the difference! He was genuinely friendly, helpful and attentive! He let us camp a bit and catch up (and yes we were mindful-there were plenty of empty tables). Salmon salads were delish!

    Always treated well at this location. Jolisa, our server, did not disappoint. We had several members of our party arrive at different times and she was quick to help each one upon their arrival.

    Food was great. Quality and taste was great. Price seemed equally as good. Our server was not good about checking back compared to how I witnessed other servers checking back.

    I often take my grandfather to this Rusty Bucket location. He has very limited mobility, and the staff always takes care with us. Food is consistently solid, and the bloody mary drinks are terrific (three spice levels).
