My kid loved this place and the food was great. We ate here three days in a row when we were in town and it was good each time. Tons of options.

Corporate approval to record in the restaurant really? On National Tavern day at that! You literally have reviews of people showing the pictures and videos in your restaurant. It’s 2025 come on now. wouldn’t recommend .

The Cheese Blanket Nachos alone are worth the visit. Absolutely killer. Great service, reasonable prices, a great value though.

I believe Al was our server and was incredibly attentive. I had never been there before, and he recommended the Cubano, which was excellent (the mustard was a little overpowering, but the quality of the meat was superb). We also did a plate of nachos. The atmosphere was fine, I'm just not that into sports. It was a warm-ish day outside, but I felt very comfortable inside (not too hot or cold). I look forward to coming back!

Stopped in here for the first time late (8pm) on a Monday night. We were seated quickly and the food came out quickly as well.

The food was good, but not outstanding. I’d say a slight step above something like Texas Roadhouse. Might be a “depends on the menu item” kind of thing. Chicken fingers were definitely above average, but not in the league with the best I’ve had. And my mother in law loved her salad. My burger was pretty basic though, and the fries were ok.

Atmosphere felt cramped and overly busy, not in the sense that there was a ton of people, just a lot going on visually and audibly. To many TVs for such a small place, and the bar takes up a very significant amount of the dining area.

Our service was at best a 3-star. The sever was nice, but not attentive, even though the place wasn’t busy. I ended up having to go find them for a check after a lengthy wait.

Bathrooms were super nice though. A+

A group of us visit the area yearly and this has become our go-to place! We love the food and the atmosphere. Service has always been great, even when they are busy. It's saying something when we are all looking forward to meeting at The Rusty Bucket!
