Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern

Went here on a busy Thursday for dinner. The wait was short. The food was great! My party had 4 entrees - fish sandwich, fish & chips platter, bacon cheeseburger and Buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything was hot, crunchy, and seasoned to perfection. I suspect that they took the fries out sooner and had to wait on the remainder of the order because they were warm but not spectacular, but nothing to complain about. Loved it!!

Our server was Corey and what a fantastic job he did. His customer service was insanely good and made great recommendations. The rusty bucket solely falls on the shoulders of this man and he’s holding it high above the water. Will be back for sure.

Fish & Chips: wonderfully crispy, both the fish and the fries, but, a little too oily. They put the hot fish on top of the fries before it's properly drained so it makes the fries extra oily. The fish was delicious, just slightly overcooked - still, very good overall, just a little room for improvement. Would I eat it again? Yes. My biggest complaint is how small the coleslaw was. At $20, the price is tolerable, but I don't want to pay more, for a "side" of coleslaw. My waitress was kind and offered to bring me some more [slaw] at no charge - so for that I give them four stars instead of three. ???? I suppose I'm tired of seeing people give five star reviews for "good" food and a pleasant experience - that should be the baseline, there needs to be room to give a higher rating when the food & experience is EXCELLENT, right? I was not disappointed, but, I still hope to find better ????
