Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern

We met friends here for lunch. Waiter was personable and knowledgeable. The four of us enjoyed our food choices.

My son and I went to Rusty Bucket Westerville before the concert we were attending in Downtown Columbus since it was right by our hotel. Our server, who worked at the bar (I didn't get his name but he was wearing an Ohio State University hoodie), was extremely helpful and courteous. The food came out quite quickly and was excellent. My son had the bacon burger and I had Ma! The Meatloaf. Both were fantastic. When I'm back in Columbus, I will absolutely come back here for the service and food.

rusty Bucket is always good. We prefer the Worthington restaurant but friends lived closer to Polaris/

The lunchtime with a group of ladies wad nice. There needs to be more choices for side items and appetizers

Chicken is way too thick. Not crispy.

We made a reservation for four adults. We had no wait when we arrived on time. Our server was friendly and polite. Our orders were taken once we were ready to order and severed to us in timely manner.

Had the Buffalo chicken sandwich. It was edible but there was little evidence of panko bread crumbs, which should be crunchy when fried. The breading was moist and didn't adhere to the Chicken, which was a very thick breast. (if you like thin chicken, this is not the sandwich for you) The chili was good. Maybe it wasn't stirred prior to being ladled because I feel as though it was very soupy/tomato-ee with very little beans and meat in it. But it had good flavor.

Everyone was happy with their meals. Chicken fingers are really good.👍

Top notch operation. Everything about it is awesome. I’ve been to a few of these. Obviously made fresh food and all of it has been great. Same price as trash places that serve frozen food. Def give it a try.

Definitely a bad service or the waitress was having a bad day, she was rushing to take orders , although the restaurant was empty, was not letting us complete food.

The food was delicious as usual. The seasonal Strawberry cake was the highlight ✨️ 😋

Fantastic experience. We were stopped over on a road trip and the Rusty Bucket was pretty close to our hotel. Just reading the description was enough for the decision to go. But the food and excellent service makes it a must visit for anyone. The selection was excellent and they even had some nice options for top shelf bourbon.

The Rusty Bucket in Westerville has become our go to place to eat out at. The food is always good and the service is always excellent.
