We’ve been here many times in the past. The food and beverages make it worth the trip. The food choices are a step up from others. This visit the service seemed to be a bit slow maybe due to staff shortages? We weren’t in a hurry but rode the wait out. This was out of the ordinary as it applies to table service. We enjoy the food choices as well as beverage choices.

With the abundance of dining options in our area, we like to give new places (that is, new to us) a try. When we like one we'll add it to our short list of return-worthy places. The Rusty Bucket makes our list! It's a relatively casual but nice tavern style eatery in the UTC that does what it does very well. A very nice bar area with many draft beer options is separated from the dining room with a glass partition. Piped music was not what we would've preferred, but the volume was not overwhelming. All in all, a relaxed atmosphere, although we weren't there at a particularly busy time. Our sandwiches and drinks were very good, our server was attentive, and the prices were reasonable when compared with other eateries of the same kind. We were happy with our experience and intend to visit again.
