    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).

    We usually stay in on New Year’s Eve, but decided to dine out this year. I had heard of Rusty Bucket’s ‘kids eat free’ promotion. We were 3 adults with 3 children so it worked out perfectly. And it was Tuesday half price bottles of wine so it was a better deal than ordering wine by the glass. Our service was great, and the food was too.
