Reviews for Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern in Columbus, OH

Started of with the perogies, garlic cream and bacon butter was on them. Absolutely amazing! Had a couple local columbus beers,... north high berry wheat and Jeffery pilsner. Both delicious. Really enjoyed the BBQ chicken salad. Nice atmosphere andwaitresses were excellent! Read more

I purchased the fish and chips with a strawberry lemonade. My meal was amazing and fresh. Being able to sit at a booth with an... open patio was refreshing. Feeling the breeze and sipping on my authentic beverage was what I needed after a long day. The staffI encountered had great customer service. I felt seen as soon as I walked through the door. I will be back. Read more

It was a wonderful experience. My husband and I have never ate here before and the experience was amazing. We are looking... forward to our next visit. I ordered a turkey burger with fries and he had a NY Strip Steak. We had wonderful drinks andappetizers. Fried Pickles are a lil greasy, they are amazing. It caught me by surprise at how delicious a warm pickle couldtaste. We love our waitress Destiny. We are sooo looking forward to visiting again. Read more

Second Rusty Bucket location to try out. We were seated quickly, and our server was friendly and professional, a great combo.... Fish tacos were very tasty, and the street corn bowl was interestingly spicy. The salmon was perfect prepared. Just a bit noisybut that’s expected. They do a good job with the offerings. Read more

Food and service were good. We needed a reservation though. The place was busy. Order took some time, but not much. It is very... dark inside. Good music too. Overall a great place for dinner. Read more

My first time at The rusty bucket I was well pleased about the food! I was there for a birthday party so we will sit it all the... way in the back and in private rooms and our waiter was well knowledge about the large menu! I was very surprised howknowledgeable he was when asking different questions. I develop new allergies so I have to make sure I wasn't killing myselfeating food. This man must have studied hard because he knew everything. I had a nice Philly cheese steak it was very meaty withsauteed onions and peppers with no mushrooms. I had onion rings in the side my God the onion rings really took the show. Oh formy appetizer I had chicken tenders with fresh french fries. You should give him a try Read more

Stopped in while doing some holiday shopping. There was an hour wait, but their contact system let us do some browsing at... adjacent stores while we waited. The table service was prompt with drink orders and appetizers. The menu had enough coverage tohave something for everyone in our party of three. The drink menu had some good suggestions, but the bartender was knowledgeableenough to let us order off menu. For what it's worth a jalapeno margarita pairs really well with the margarita pizza. The Reubensandwich was good with the toasted marble rye bread. The portions were large so keep that in mind if you're ordering and alreadyhungry. All in all it was a good experience and the despite being a packed house and understaffing the service was excellent andthe food tasty. Read more

tried the bucket because I thought the name was funny. they were low on staff when we went. only two servers which is insane.... our server went above and beyond to make sure it didn't feel like they were understaffed. our seat in the outside bit was superslippery. my friend and I both slid while we sat down. also the tables they chose (pictured) had huge gaps in them that were notproperly cleaned. lots of old remnants of food stuck between them that grossed me out. I really didn't like looking at moldycrusty food while I ate. I got the basic Bucket burger. was decent for a burger. the fries on the other hand were incrediblydelicious oh my god. -1 star for no Dr pepper. Read more
