   Like that they accept reservations. We went with friends (party of 7). Seated promptly & waitress was great! Attentive & very friendly. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. We will definitely go back!

   This was a birthday celebration and love that we can make reservations for a party of 8. Got a nice little back room that we did not even know existed, Jacob took great care of us! Glasses full, hot food and good time. Even modifications to orders were perfect! Food choices are great- something for everyone!

   Service was great! Got the Double Nickel salad with chicken. It was excellent. One of us got Brussels sprouts and they looked amazing. She wouldn't share so I assume they must have been as good as they looked. Happy hour specials are great! Ambience is what it is. Nothing fancy but perfect for catching up with a group.

   Definitely a place that is past its prime. Food took over half an hour even though the place was half empty. My husbands burger and onion rings were cold and had to be sent back. Nothing amazing … would not go again.

   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.

    Host mandates that we sit in steamy hot “enclosed patio”. Sun was too bright, no air circulation and lots of bugs
