    Returning to Rusty Bucket after some less than appealing experiences a few years ago…we were so pleasantly surprised to the quality of the food and the great service (by Brandon) as this is our third visit over the summer. Now that salad is really for prime time again, I had the Double Nickel salad with chicken and Mitch had the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Both were presented well and tasted just as good. So happy that our neighborhood location is as consistent as we hoped for years ago. You did it- see you again soon.

    Stopped in for dinner to take advantage of the BOGO promotion. My wife had a pizza and I had fish & chips. Food was prepared perfect, portion sizes were large, and our server was great. We’ll definitely be back!

    We hadn’t visited for a year or two but they won us back. We really enjoyed our turkey burger and Buffalo chicken sandwiches…they couldn’t have been better! Great fries and sweet potato fries too. The seafood chowder was pricey and served lukewarm… but the sandwiches were outstanding enough to get us back. See you soon!
