Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern

Love the 1/2 price appetizers and their pizzas. Gary's 3-Way is fabulous.

Our server Noah was the best!!! So nice to talk to, knows everything about the menu, and he even laughed at my mom’s jokes! We split the pizza and a buffalo chicken sandwich and both were great, 10/10 ☺

Surprisingly, this restaurant at noon on a Sunday was relatively quiet. We sat at a 3 top in the bar area, and the bartender was our server. The salmon ordered was a big portion cooked perfectly. The Cobb salad was huge and bursting with flavor AND fresh bacon bits. Draft beers were ice cold, and service was spot on. I would recommend the large salads and the salmon in a heartbeat.

We ordered salad that had a variety of greens with the 55 dressing, great as always. Two of us ordered the double stack quesadillas which arrived hot with the cheese still melted. We did not know they were half price during happy hour, so it was a pleasant surprise when the bill came. The fish and chips were also hot on arrival, the fries were crispy and fish cooked perfectly. We will be returning.

Top quality service and food. Never been disappointed by any menu item but always find it hard not to order the buffalo chicken sandwich! Great draft beer selection with some nice happy hour deals. The place is always busy so keep that in mind 😎

Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time in Columbus mixed with really friendly staff! First time ever having it and will definitely be back again!

Got the double stacked quesadilla’s and they were delicious, also got the Mac and cheese for $8.99 off doordash and the container came with maybe 4 bites of noodles… they must’ve run out of noodles but that’s the point they should call the customer/doordash and let them know. Edit: $7.19 for the Mac. Edit: had to give them another star cause this place is delicious and very consistent. Edit 10-27 ordered from here multiple times now and each time is better than the last. Some of the best food and most consistent(sorry to reiterate) that I’ve ever had from a restaurant. I also mainly order it for delivery so it holds up very well.

This weekend was the first time eating here and let me say it was great. There was 4 of us and our waitress was amazing our food was great, the bill was a tad bit high but that is ok. I wish we had a Rusty bucket in my home town.

Great food! Good amount of food for the price! I can't remember the server's name, but, he was on point with everything! Didn't have to wait for drink refills, he checked on us regularly, he was an outstanding server!
Burgers are huge and juicy! Sweet potato fries are good!
My favorite place to eat!

Food was great, nice craft beer selection. Chicken tender portion was a little skimpy for the price.

Food tasted amazing, the wings, the pizza and the beef stroganoff are highly recommended! 12 tv great for watching games while you eat. The drinks were made just right. The service was fast and the server was nice and polite.

Rusty Bucket is a nice restaurant. The serving size is good albeit the prices go towards the high side. The service is good the wait staff is attentive but not intrusive.

All foods were great and I felt that each ingredients were good qualified and fresh.

And, especially, steak in the burger was PERFECTLY cooked(Medium-Rare) as I wanted and it was very juicy!

Staffs were also very nice as they really catched fast as we wanted.

This place never disappoints. Our server, John, was very attentive and was very considerate of allergies that our family was concerned about. He also gave great food recommendations for our picky members. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

The food was noticbly a good quality and lots of flavor! Our server was nice, well trained, and knowledge. The sliders didn't need ketchup to be good.

We went on a Friday night at 5:45. Just got there in time for happy hour apps. Tried the shrimp, buffalo wings, nachos and quesadilla. The portions were good. Our favorite were the wings and nachos. The shrimp was cooked perfect. Will try the pizza next time. Service was a bit slow but to be expected for how crowded it was. Happy to see restaurants with a wait line again.

Our family has been to the Clintonville Rusty Bucket 150+ times ! We love it! The icing on the cake was when we called them last minute to host a post funeral lunch for family friends. They said yes. They had beautiful food and fantastic service! 100/10! They made everyone feel welcome even during such a hard time. Thank you all !!!!

Cade and his buddy ( Vance) sp?? ... were really helpful and kind and attentive. I would definitely go back! The food and atmosphere were terrific! Thank you guys!

I sat at the bar and had a great Manhattan, made by David! The food was also good.
David was very attentive, yet not bothersome. I wanted to enjoy a couple drinks before eating dinner and that's exactly what I was able to do!

We ate there two nights in a row. The second night we had a party of 18. Made reservations for 7:30 and everything was ready when we got there. Very accomadating.
