“A restaurant devoted to great people and great pierogi's. It is seat yourself and when I went all the tables were full up but a table was leaving at the right time so we could snag a spot. Everything my group ordered was 10/10Vegetarian options: Most the pierogi's are vegetarian and they have a good amount of vegan cheese options“

“This place is just fantastic! We have eaten here three times and the food is terrific, the burgers are always perfect and the fries are the best I've had in a very long time. The greens are what sent me over the edge, absolutely delicious, I could eat them every day. I have not tried carryout yet although we plan to, we actually ended up here after a concert. We had reservations at a fancy place before the show and were severely disappointed and afterwards we were starving so we stopped in and were so happy we did. We plan to try everything on the menu, it is that good!“

“3/26/24... Here for lunch I had the Beef Stroganoff nice large serving for the price. My husband had their Club sandwich and french fries. Taylor is our server, very friendly and he was prompt on the ball for refills etc.... Great food and really great service today, thanks Taylor ☺️?!!! The only negative especially because of their prices. Is their to go container's they are a box with a flap to close it ?3/1/23 Happy hour with my hubby!! We're having wings and a double quesadilla. Allison is our server today GREAT JOB ?10/17/22... Back for lunch with our 2 oldest granddaughter's. They're outta school today, they attend Olentangy Berlin High School. We all enjoyed our food ? Great service! Quite a bit more money these days ?6/13/22.... We came back today. Enjoyed our lunch with our 3 granddaughters! Good service and the food was on spot for all of us. Always a good time and good food ☺️ Thank you Rusty Bucket!!Back for happy hour buffalo wings, 1st time trying their buffalo cauliflower and we're going to try their Sicilian pizza for the 1st time too! Kaitlyn is our server very prompt we were seated immediately. Ice tea, water and appetizers were very, very good ? Kaitlyn was super when it came to checking on us refills etc... Excellent service from beginning to the end ☺️ ??8/22/21... Here for 2 Birthday's ?? Kyle is our server we have 20 in our party that we made a reservations for at 3pm. Very nice room that we are sitting in! I do believe that Kyle did the best he could. He brought out the wrong salad order for our daughter and was rather rude/ short with her! Not nice or polite ? I'm going to say that 2x I had to speak with Tyler the manager on duty. Tyler was nice and understanding he was willing to help in any way he could. I felt I needed to simply bring it to his attention that Kyle was asked by several people in our party that we needed extra napkins, side plates, drink refills, cleared plates, condiments etc... I understand during this time in the restaurant industry it's difficult to have full staffing. That's not our fault or the way that our family celebration was expecting it to be! Rather disappointed with the results of today's visit ?? ?6/9/21 Dinner tonight started with the best fried pickles we absolutely love them!! Omgoodness happy hour prices M- F 3 to 6 pm on a variety of food and beverage items!! We met with the manger Stew very pleasant and friendly person ?Well here we are again for lunch 4/17/21 tried the Green chili beer cheeseburger very good as usual Joel did a great job!!!Back today for lunch 3/28/21....We started with queso and chips. I tried the strip steak it was prepared as I requested, it was really delicious?!! Our server was Clare very attentive, friendly, prompt and overall a pleasant person ? Nice experience today!!! Great for lunch and or dinner. We enjoy family meals something for everyone on the menu. Service is usually prompt and the servers are attentive. We've always enjoyed our selves drinks and the food is delicious!Back today 10/21/19 with our 2 oldest granddaughters for lunch NO SCHOOL TODAY!! The oldest loves the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, our other loves the Bucket Trio ? our server was awesome very pleasant!!Parking: Large parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids menu and high chairsWheelchair accessibility: No steps you can come right in the door!“

“Raised in Louisiana, moved to California, went to Columbus on vacation. What a surprise to find some of the most authentic Cajun food since Louisiana. Nothing fancy for sure, but definitely reminds me of a good home-cooked dinner in Louisiana. Got a chance to talk to the owner of this location, and just in southern hospitality fashion got to know a little backstory about him and his family and the restaurant. Was kind of a nice treat. Hopefully, next time I get a chance to visit, they’ll have some shrimp and grits, and then I would surely pack up and move to Ohio!“

“Stopped by here during lunch. I enjoy their royal decorations with so many beautiful wallpapers, mirrors and mirror frames. There were many people during lunch hours. The service mainly paid attention on the groups. My servers did apologize for less attention and told me my food would be ready patiently. The room temperature was a little cold, which made the food cool down quickly. Their burgers came with two cheesy patties. I ordered the chimi burger. The chimichurri sauce neutralized the oil and improved the burger taste. The Mac and cheese tasted decent and authentic but it cooled down quickly mainly due to their room temperature.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger and salads“

This recent visit, I got the Rise & Shine burger for lunch. Easily the best burger I've had in quite a while. I also brought my office cup (30oz. Yeti cup) out of habit and a passing server filled the WHOLE thing without me even asking. I highly recommend giving this place a visit. Friendly staff, great food!“

“Mac's Proper Pub has been on my radar for a few years because my best friend took me there to try the sauerkraut balls, and I've been going back to have them ever since then. Recently I discovered that they have a great happy hour which includes half off apps and specialty cocktails, so off I went to have a dinner of apps. My order included scotch eggs, fried brie, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken fingers, and of course the sauerkraut balls. The scotch eggs were tasty-- served cut in half with a dipping sauce, and they were better than any scotch eggs I've had in the past. Crispy and delicious, especially with the gluttonous cream cheese dip. The fried brie is also very tasty-- served with slices of toast and definitely not as stinky or strange as brie can often be, more palatable because it's fried with a crispy outside. This is a great 'intro fried brie' for those who it may be too strong for normally. The spinach and artichoke dip is yummy and served with interesting sliced curly-esque fries. I loved the fries I just wish there was a bit more dip so I wasn't left with so many extra fries and nothing to dip them in. The chicken fingers were pretty average. Not a whole lot to say about those and probably wouldn't order them again. I also wasn't a fan of the sauce they were served with. The sauerkraut balls did not disappoint as usual-- sauerkraut and sausage all wrapped together and served fried with ranch(?) to dip them in. I'm not crazy about the dipping sauce but the portion is pretty large-- it comes with 6 sauerkraut balls that take at least 2-3 bites to finish. The bar itself is long and slender with an incognito room with a pool table in the back that I just noticed on this trip, despite having been there many times before. I'll definitely be back to blow off some steam with a game of pool during happy hour soon.“

“I thought the food was okay. It wasn't bad, but I also didn't find anything to be super exciting. The prices are pretty good, and the servers here were very nice. They also have some packaged cookies sitting in front of the desk for $5.99 that are quite big and have a lot of chocolate in them. Overall, it is a nice change of pace from the typical fast food places, but I wouldn't come here looking for anything fancy.“

“I have been a many years customer of Clean Eatz. The cafe selections are pretty good. But mostly, I get their weekly meal plan. The main thing for me is portion control and the variety of meals. Great cooking, no, but satisfying enough, with the ease of microwave heating. It's been good enough for me to lose over 50 pounds in four years, it isn't a diet, though.And I recently discovered, that the owner of the Graceland Clean Eatz is opening a cafe in Grove City, very much close to me.“

Build Your Own Mac Daddy Burrito

“Found this place searching best mac n cheese in Columbus. Got the Nashville chicken and the chicken parm. Both were phenomenal. Ate the hot chicken the night I got it. The flavors and qualities of the food was awesome, I personally would've liked it more without pickles but it really made the dish. The chicken parm I ate for lunch the next day. Cut hot dog style and air fried for more even heating and a great meal. The 15$ for their burritos I thought was steep until I got one. The size and quality of the food makes it well worth it and I'm definitely going back. The only downside is there's no restaurant face or dining area. You have to order online. And it seems 30-40 min usual wait during their dinner rush. I got there and ordered and just waited in my car. The actual place seems kind of skeevy and dark, with order locker windows, the guy working the window called it a ghost kitchen which is probably some trendy thing where a bunch of folks work kitchens out of a factory. Overall super cool and delicious, give it a try“
