The food was delicious! Zero complaints. The waitress…not the best. We literally ordered appetizers when we were seated. Had the appetizers brought out. Ate them. And still she hadn’t taken our dinner order. We were juggling menus while eating our appetizer. A bit annoying. The food when we did get it was great though. I ordered sliders and my hubs had the Sicilian pizza.

OUT N’ ABOUT
Everything was delicious and fresh tasting. BBQ wings were fresh and hot. The Sicilian pizza was awesome. The fish and chicken tenders taste good. We sampled the Nachos as well. Our drinks were good. Plenty of seating areas, even a small patio off of Main St. Park in the back behind the restaurant or there’s parking across the street. Our waitress wad pleasant and attentive. The restroom was clean and they offered free women’s sanitation devices. Plenty of tv’s for viewing.

October 2025: The Rusty Bucket is always a good option this side of Columbus. Service is fast and good, food is great, ambiance is good. What else can you ask for? In the picture you can see the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. In the past I have had the Baja Tacos and they were great.

We were in Columbus, Ohio, for The Arnold Strongman Competition and went to The Rusty Bucket for lunch. We loved it!! The atmosphere was awesome and the food was GREAT!! The service was a bit slow but understandable with the amount of people there were in the place. We really loved the food and it was very good. We would definitely recommend this place for a good time and great food! If we’re ever back in Columbus, we’ll be back.

Tried to come yesterday, Got to the host stand, there was a bartender that just looked at us never said a word…. We stood there for about 10 minutes un-greeted & thought ok well maybe we just seat ourselves since there is no host & the bartender hasn’t said anything to us. So we sit… wait another 15 minutes or so, nobody says a word to us… a server walks by and we ask if anyone is available to serve us, she says ummm hold on then goes to the back. We watch another employee just stare at us thru the kitchen door.. we wait another 5 minutes or so, nobody says anything to us so we decide to go elsewhere. As we are leaving the bartender then wants to speak to us and says “have a good night” sarcastically. First & last time coming here. I have never had a more worst experience in my life. Which was very unfortunate because it was my birthday that I was celebrating with a friend. Do better. Not sure why we were marked down as seating either when we never got to dine in!

My wife and I went here for restaurant week as a last minute idea. We surprisingly enjoyed all of our food. I’m not a fried pickle person, but their fried pickles are excellent! They’re huge and the batter they fried them in is so crunchy and flavorful. The fish and chips are good! They’re nothing extraordinary but I would say they about average or slightly above. I would have liked more flavor from the fish. The chicken Parmesan is tasty, I didn’t expect to find anything like that at this restaurant. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I recommend stopping in with your family for dinner.

We enjoyed the spinach queso, fish and chips, fish sandwich, French onion soup, Caesar salad and brussel sprouts. Everything was really good. The wait staff was excellent. The decor is warm and inviting. Bring your wallet. The prices are a bit steep.

The food is so good! We got fried pickles to share. They were delicious. I got their signature burger, and it was great. I was worried that the burger would be overcooked as it sometimes is when I ask for medium well, but it was cooked to perfection! Our server Joey was kind and very helpful! Looking forward to going back

Had a great experience here after a bike ride with some friends! The restaurant had great AC, sports were on, the beer was flowing, and times were good. Benjamin, our waiter, was such a respectful and kind guy and made our experience great. He even offered to fill our water bottles up for our bike ride back. He deserves a shoutout from the management! We’ll be back because of Ben. Thank you!
