Made a 5:15 reservation and thought it was a 5:45 reservation (fat fingers). The restaurant cancelled my reservation, after texting...absolutely the right thing to do. After showing up one half hour late the hostess graciously found us a table despite being busy. Thank you Rusty Bucket NA!

I typically enjoy my experience here. The server barely came bye to refill waters or check on how things were. The fries were cold. My salmon was good but supposed to be blackened. Unfortunately this was my second mediocre experience recently. Not sure what is happening at this location. On a bright spot, I love the double nickel salad!

The manager and our server were fantastic at accommodating a larger group and the service was perfect. Food was delicious - be sure to check out the daily specials. A special thanks to the manager for being so pleasant and helpful!
