    We went for happy hour 3-6 daily and wow! The portions are huge. We had the chilled shrimp - excellently prepared with cocktail and boom boom sauce. The chicken tenders and fries was on point and the quesadilla was so much we had to bring some home. The stand out was the cabbage patch kids app! Brussel sprouts grilled with parmesan and a lemon aioli, again - so much we brought some home. The he bar tenders were very amazing! They created a skinny cocktail to meet my individual needs and ask. The place is still well maintained and everything clean and in good working order. Hidden gem for some, family favorite for many! Don't miss this great location- they are serving it up delicious!!

    Lovely dinner with excellent food and fantastic service. The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich was off the menu, but the Philadelphia Cheesesteak was absolutely phenomenal. Our table also had French onion soup, which is also wonderful. Highly recommend! The above was a few weeks ago. We just had a fantastic lunch there today. Sat in the bar area. Buffalo Chicken & fries as well as the Club & Sweet potato fries were both excellent! Abby took wonderful care of us in the bar today.

    I had a great first experience with this restaurant. I only went for lunch, so I got the BBQ chicken chopped salad. While it was good and I did go at lunchtime, I did see that many people there before me did not have their food, so they were having some issues getting the food out very quickly. For me, that was ok. I was not in a rush, and when I got my salad, I could tell my chicken was freshly cooked and seasoned so well. See pic below. The place has a bunch of tvs, even 1 in the men's room, which I thought was unique and fun. I thought the salad was great, and I ordered a bread pudding dessert. My waitress was fantastic and met all my needs. The texture and flavor of the ice cream were so good. I think it's a little overpriced as a salad, and a dessert was still $23, but all in all, it's a nice restaurant. I will try it again in the future. I would recommend trying this place yourself. As you can see in the pics, there is a big covered patio, and we'll parking but if you go during lunch, you may have to walk a little like I did. If my review was helpful in any way, please mark it as helpful and follow me for more reviews around the world.

    One of the greatest experiences I’ve had with any restaurant. I called a day in advance to host my baby shower of 40 and the process was a BREEZE! The staff was probably the best service I’ve had in my life, they were so kind, accommodating, and generous with the event. PHENOMENAL job Rusty Bucket crew! You guys made everything even more special. THANK YOU 💚🙏🏼

    The food was really good. I shared a mushroom pizza with someone I was with and it was the most mushroomy mushroom pizza I think I had ever eaten. The service was okay. They were pretty busy that evening so that is reasonable. However, that old rusted saw hanging on open hooks above the only visible, designated entrance didn't seem like the safest thing in the world. It was not sealed behind glass or anything. It was just swinging up there like the sword of Damocles. As for the rest of the atmosphere, it was like a sports bar/pub. Not the best place to eat if you have auditory processing issues with all the poor lighting, multiple TVs going, and echos.

    Jacqui was “incredibly chill.” Food items we would recommend include: 3-way (don’t pass up the opportunity if you get the chance!). Brown bag special!! Incredible value. “Best day of my life!” Thank you, Jacqui, for taking orders for 14 of us and getting everything perfectly! The food came out so quickly and was delicious. Thanks for making our stay in Ohio enjoyable! Ohio would not be the same without the Westerville Rusty Bucket!

    I had the Bacon burger, which has bacon mixed in with the ground beef and as a topping. It was just OK. The burger was cooked to my liking (med-rare), but was under seasoned and a little bland. The 'caramelized' onions were only sauteed, with no real caramelization and didn't really add anything to the burger.

    The food was absolutely amazing! The service was wonderful as well. There was a large number of people in the party we were with there, and we got our appetizers and food prompt and warm. We will definitely without a doubt be back if we're near again!

    I often shy away from rating a place this highly but we showed up with a bunch of folks and quickly had a table and were having our drinks taken. Moscow mules were particularly well liked. There also was a good selection of beer. The pretzel bites were wonderful! Highly recommended.

    Cheesesteak was just alright. Jersey Mikes is still a better option. I typically get the fish and chips which is really good, however it is currently priced at $19.99.

    It was a good first experience. You can make table reservations online, which made it convenient. The server was fabulous and did great checking on us. The fish was overcooked, though, but the batter had a good flavor. The fries were perfect. The star of my dinner was the steamed broccoli. Not sure what different they do, but I really enjoyed it. Prices are about what you expect for this style of eatery.

    Best fish sandwich I've ever had! Overall a bit pricey (imo) but the portion size is good at least. Quality does matter!

    We had a wonderful server, Laura😊. She was patient and so helpful. She reminded us about the happy hour specials. She suggested a great beer to go with our pizza. The restaurant is very cute and cozy inside. There is outdoor seating, too. We loved the habanero wings and delicious mushroom pizza. We wish there was a location near our home.

    Someone said in their review that their fish & chips are to die for and I was like it can't be that good, right. Boy I was wrong. They are that good. My wife and I had a great time. Food quality was amazing but don't take my word for it.. go and try it out yourself.

👍👍 The whole family loved this place. Only issue I had were the onion rings. They were still doughy and had no flavor, don't get them. However, the burgers were awesome and even the kids said they wanted to come back. The fontana sauce is on another level.....amazing. Get a side of it and dip everythin...
