Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern in Columbus

The Double Nickel Salad with Salmon was AMAZING!!

The food was delicious. Great place to watch any sporting event!

I went in on a Sunday. I had the blackened salmon salad. It was very good. It was Bloody Mary Sunday. I tried the spicy one. It was one of the best that I have had in a while. The spiced pickle in it was amazing. I would definitely visit again.

Had the Cuban with fries. It was awesome. This is the second time Ive ordered it.

A huge group of 40 of us went for dinner after Wedding Rehearsal. Service was very fast for such a large group. Food was scrumptious 😋.

Always great food & friendly service. Kitchen seemed a little slower than usual, but they were pretty busy.

Food and service is always great. Occasionally they run out of pretty popular items on the menu. Happened to me 2 times in last 3 visits.

Great service and the food was all really good. Theyre Reubens and Cubans are delicious!!!

Delicious well-prepared Food. I tried the Cubano Sandwich. Fabulous! Our Server Jason was attentive, great personality and was willing to go the extra mile to make our luncheon experience delightful!

Great food at a decent price. The staff is also very friendly. They also have multiple TVs playing various sports games.

Got stood up on blind date but the staff was top notch and the strawberry lemon aid was eveeything

Easily one of the best burgers in town but whoever said their meatloaf is good has questionable taste. I’ve never had to scape off a sauce before, but I had to with that.

My husband and I visited the Bexley location for lunch. He had chicken parm. I had the double stack quesadilla. Highly recommend both! I don’t typically write reviews, but when we get exceptional service these days I feel it is necessary. Our server Benjamin was just fantastic from the start! Great at his job and so personable. The music was great and fun atmosphere. Great little spot!

Rusty bucket. Theres a cluck Norris inside the rusty bucket "cluck Norris kickass chicken" DO NOT EAT THERE FOOD!. there bbq chicken fingers were horrible food chicken taste fake.

Just not impressed with the food and the service wasnt great. Two in our group ordered burgers and we realized after the food was brought out they didnt even ask how they wanted the meat cooked. Way overdone. The pasta seemed microwaved. $100 with tip was steep considering only one was drink was ordered and quality of food low.

We arrived on a very busy night. There was a small wait but no biggie. The waiter did a very good job of greeting us as soon as he was able. He got our drinks in a timely manner. The food was very good and fresh. The price was very reasonable. I will go back when I visit

First time here, and I have to say it was amazing. The service was fabulous from the second we sat down. Our waitress was very attentive and efficient. I wish I knew her name as she was wonderful !. I had the Beef Stroganoff, my partner had the Cecilan pizza, and his son had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. We had the Blanket of Nachos as an app and it was all so darned good. The ambiance was really nice and pleasant in the restaurant. You felt that they take pride in food and service here. I can honestly say this was the most positive experience that we have had in a restaurant lately. Cant wait to come back next weekend as my boyfriends son in an OSU band member and he recommended this place! What a great place !

Ice cold fries,greasy fish and flavorless slaw. Not sure what went wrong, I was told to pick up at 6:30 and arrived at 6:28 so it wasnt that it was sitting around. Again, not sure what went wrong.

Standard and plentiful pub fare. Nothing special. Friendly service. Nice part of town. Pricing is a tad high.

Visited this Rusty Bucket recently. Nice and comfortable seating. You may also eat outside in their patio. Nice size bar. Friendly service. Delicious traditional all American food. You may park on the street, across the street, their is parking in the rear of the building, and a parking lot across the street. Decent prices. Nice atmosphere.

Quaint little restaurant in downtown Bexley, Ohio. Friendly, helpful waitstaff. Good service time and food. Close parking. Will return on my next visit to Ohio!

Driving home from PA, I was looking for a new place to try. I found this local Columbus, OH chain. I had the El Cubano w/ coleslaw = DELICIOUS. IIt seems every corner of the US has been affected by the lack of laborers willing to just show up! The service was a tad slow and we waited for our meal and check a tad longer than what I expected. Manger & staff were very pleasant & friendly.

High quality bar food. Menu leaves a lil bit to be desired as far as plethora of selections but what is there is executed well in a nice clean environment

Freaking fantastic!! We were on a road trip and dropped in—holy cow. Crispy, seasoned fries, awesome music, a burger that now resides in my top 5 burger ranking, clean bathroom, friendly, prompt service, and reasonable prices. Flawless!

Our experience was amazing! Mia was our server. She was very kind and helpful. Not just to us, but to everyone around us as well. She didn’t just bring us our food, but she had great discussions with us and was very personable. The food was delicious and the building was clean. This was a great experience for me and my family.

Ate here pre pandemic and was phenomenal, returned today and was not disappointed. Food was incredible! From my wifes buffalo chicken sandwich to my kids mac and cheese to my off the charts Sicilian Pizza top notch every bite. But the service was more out this world then the food. I forgot out servers name(im terrible with namesbut from the jump he was on it. Treated out kids like they were people too attentive service glasses never empty. Wish there was one at home!

Food is really good here! Love the atmosphere. My only complaint is I felt it was over priced and portions are small. Id come back, but its definitely a once in awhile thing.

OMG! Ate here on Sunday afternoon around 130. Took 20 minutes to seat our party of six (FYI you can call or make online reservations). Service was great and The food was was fabulous!!! Fish and chips- oh wow best beer battered fish I have had, even though I only got a couple bites - it was my husbands meal. I had the chicken parm with buttered spaghetti noodles - whoa, another ball hit out of the park. One of the kids had the salmon with broccoli and inhaled it before I could taste it. Finally, nailing it like no other, the stickybun bread pudding resulted in a sheer euphoria.So, if you are weighing your options in places to eat … Rusty Bucket is your place!

We got more food than anticipated for the price. It was so delicious. Id tell any of my friends to try it!!

Excellent afternoon getaway! Mia is the best!! Well come back again and again to enjoy her good humor and hospitality! Thank you, Mia!!

Unexpected stop on our way home from vacation, but was a great experience.Very hospitable staff and great selection of food and drinks with great prices.

This food taste like it was cooked in a Rusty Bucket so they at least have their name correct🤢🤮. Food came to me cold and seasoned with water. I was soooo hungry when the power went out😩. I thought this was Old bag of nails🙃... Boy was I disappointed 😭😭😭😭😭😭.

Food was awesome, but the chicken strips were so small. Service was a little slow.

Very good food.. very fresh and hot.. drinks were fantastic. Service was excellent..

It was packed so its better if you put in a reservation. The fried pickles were decent. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich which was good. The coleslaw is TRASH. Not much variety on the menu. Nice servers. But too expensive honestly

Pretty good food. The staff and management were awesome! The cheesesteak we got was soggy but the manager made it right for us. My bacon burger was really tasty. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

Dinner out for work with a large group. Glad that they could accommodate. Had the Ahi Tuna bowl which was very good.

I freaking LOVE Rusty Bucket!Everything I have ordered from them has been 💯 on point!I got a salad from them at 6:45 pm.I had half for breakfast and was just as good as last night…croutons and all🤩

Review in progress: Weve been here 30 minutes and havent gotten our appetizers yet 🤔**UPDATE**There was a problem with the appetizers, but they fixed it, and comped the appetizers!! Delicious food, generous portion of the nachos. I had the Cubano. Yummy! Good job to Manager Bree and our server, Liz. Well definitely be back.

Everything was good except the price. That bottle of wine was triple what i would of got at Giant Eagle.

Kudos to the staff for working so hard short staffed good food people and culture

Great service, great food. Decent no meat options!

It was great, food was great, our waiter nick was very nice and got everything to us quickly.

Always a favorite local spot of mine as the food remains consistently fresh and good over the years. A quiet lunch although full with a hip vibe with the mix of pop, r & b and modern rock music playing. Our waitress, Liz was super accommodating and friendly. Great service and food! There is social distancing seating inside with dividers and the patio is open. Parking in the back will always be tight due to shared residential parking. Id suggest parking in the open lot across the street and walk over...enjoy the scenery!

Great variety on the menu, service was friendly and a good pace. COVID precautions were in place.

The layout of this establishment was efficient. It was made to serve multiple people comfortably and that was nice. The food here is awesome so they get busy. I enjoyed the pub fare. Vhicken quesidilla, chicken tenders, pretzel with beer cheese. Theit chicken tenders are nicely battered. Good food good drinks. They have a wide selection of beers on tap.

Great service. The waiter checked in multiple times throughout our meal and checked if we had any food allergies before placing our order. Good selection of items on the menu and easily customizable. Recommend the Chicken Finger BLT. Large seating area and two convenient parking lots nearby.

Friendly atmosphere and nice service.The waitress was friendly and the food was good. Our choice was more American style so that we could taste their cooking.Why 4 stars? Because of so many TV screens on the wall! What a distraction when you are trying to have a conversation with friends.I think in a restaurant people should go to have fellowship and eat, not watch TV.They should stay home for that...Anyway, I am conscious that people who are empty inside they need some TV to be filled,But we had a great time with a friend of ours and enjoyed talking about church and how we can serve people more with Gods grace and love...

Very nice location in Bexley. The place was clean and had a fun, cozy atmosphere. My server Andrew was quick, efficient, and polite. It was busy but they were keeping up. I got the Reuben and fries and everything was made very well. The fries were seasoned and need no extra salt or ketchup. I started eating too fast to get a good pic but the portions were huge too.

This was my first visit here as Im traveling from out of state. Definitely the right choice for lunch! I chose the Wednesday Blue Plate Special: Beef Stroganoff. It has to be the best Ive ever eaten. The beef is very tender and the mushroom stroganoff sauce is absolutely delicious. The Rusty Bucket is obviously a favorite for locals, as they are packed out right now. If you like an upbeat atmosphere, friendly servers and delicious food, this is the place to go in Bexley/Columbus, OH
