We ate here Saturday evening for dinner. We had John as our server! He was great!!!! :) The mac n cheese was really good, and so were the chicken tenders. My girlfriend got pizza and she said was okay nothing special, but I did like it. Overall, the food was good and so was john!

My husband and I went to have a quick dinner without the kids. We got salads and they were so good. For a salad it was full of flavor, and a beautiful array of color. We usually get pizzas with the kids, but again we were here for a quickie dinner. The waitress was so sweet and wasn't overbearing, but came at the perfect time to refill any drinks and to ask how everything was. I would definitely come back again and again!

Fantastic service by both the waitress that was assigned to us & the man in charge Omar as he came out to make sure our service was satisfactory but we told him it was even better than that. We were sat in an area where we had a very pleasant breeze from the outside which added a very nice touch to dinner as it was a beautiful day out. We had the beef nachos which were very delicious, the salmon was cooked to perfection and we even had a margarita that was perfect in alcohol and sweetness level. The meatloaf is also very recommended as it’s some of the best meatloaf I have had in a good little while. Executive Chef Omar is doing a very good job with this Rusty Bucket location.

Amazing Cheesesteak. Good size and great taste. Lots of cheese which I haven't really seen before, but enjoyed. Our server—and I'm afraid I've forgotten his name but he was bald with a beard and maybe some tattoos— was also very fun. Beer prices were decent, definitely lower than some other places I've been.

We are visiting from Cleveland and needed a place to eat dinner, this restaurant satisfied all 4 people in my family including 2 kids (one very picky eater.) Everything we had was incredible! Our waitress, Stacy, was especially sweet and kind to us. Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We will definitely be back :)

I had the Cubano and fries and my husband had the chicken parm. He loves his chicken parm. I love my Cubano the only problem was the fries were a little over peppered. And one thing that gets me is my sandwich came in on a little tray aluminum tray that looks like something you'd get in school his chicken parm Cayman on a beautiful plate that was trimmed with red. I detest these little metal trays that restaurants are going to it cheapens the atmosphere.

I was surprised at the quality of the food being a chain restaurant and didn't have much hope for the place, but we decided to give the place a chance and we were quite happy the we did. I even ordered the same meal the next night and had it delivered. We had the Baja street tacos and the peel and eat shrimp. The Baja Tacos were very good, with a bit of spice from the blackened seasoning fish being cooked well with a nice balance of flavors and freshness. Mexican street corn was good, not a fresh corn, but wasn't expecting it to be.

The Mediterranean salad was amazing! I was surprised it was so big, I was expecting something way smaller! The menu is hilarious! Loving the names of the foods. Let’s not forget how awesome our waiter was, she was very friendly, very warming and I would be more than happy to revisit and hopefully next time have room for sweets!
