Rusty Bucket Tavern Reviews

Food was pretty good. Staff was a little abrupt when bringing the food, they didn't bother asking if we needed anything.

Menu is quite diverse yet well prepared. The favorites on the menu are there for a reason: because each are really good. Fish & chips is a must try. Bucket of shrimp is simple and well seasoned. Worth a trip with friends to explore the variety. Our serve, (Reggie) was informative, patient and attentive

Place used to be decent but service has gone downhill to the point of unbearable. The third time we've been there in 6 weeks and the service has continued to be slow. Staff is nice, but inattentive due to regularly being understaffed. Tonight, had a reservation for 13, arrived on time to a half empty restuarant...took 20 min to get a drink. Spoke to manager who apologized/said situation would be addressed. Took order and food didn't come out for over an hour. On top of that , forgot two of the orders. Manager never came over. When the bill came, they didn't credit / take off a dime. From a customer service / business standpoint, just a total whiff. Will never go back. I'm actually just embarrassed for them more than actually upset.

Solid sports bar type place. Food was good, prices decent. Nothing to really set this place apart from any other sports bar except the fun name (which is the only reason we chose to eat here). Nothing memorable, once and done.

Food is okay! Chicken tenders are good. Very chill and calm place to eat. Its like an Applebee's.

The food was good but the service by one bartender was the most unprofessional person i have ever witness. Due to this bartender i will never return back there. I will gladly take my money and business somewhere else.

I am not even considering this place for my next time out. We came late and there were only couple of people at the bar. You would think that someone would come right away... Oh no. No one came. Our waiter Sean (or Shawn) was supposed to be "momentarily" (according to hostess), but he/she never came. We waited and waited and waited. So we just got got up and left. No one even tried to stop us. What a disappointment.

They seat BLACK families close to the kitchen and restrooms

Service was so slow and not even close to a packed house to justify it.

Always great food and friendly service. Never had a bad meal there!

The food was amazing, but our server took 15 minutes to get water( not kidding ) and dropped our glasses on the way to the table.

The food is DELICIOUS, and the staff are somewhat attentive, but the drinks are extremely overpriced. We visited as a group and had a bit of a wait for our food which arrived staggered where one person was eating for ten minutes while 6 other people sat around watching and waiting. When some were served, their food was cold and had to be remade. But my food was very good once it arrived. The bill for the drinks my husband and I ordered was outrageous. It's a bar... drinks are served... but these prices are taking advantage. We will not be back.

Good place to eat at have to come back and try more

The wait staff was very friendly and attentive but I had to send my order back twice. The first time they sent out the wrong burger and the second time the fries were cold. However they were quick to fix both and very apologetic.

The waitress was great, but the food is barely mediocre.

Food is great it's not loud and worker are very polite

The restaurant is very nice and the food is very good. A great bar offering that goes along with the comfort foods they offer. Prices are in line with other similar restaurant's. I will be back again!

I wish there was a 4.5 star option. I've had better, but only from a true 5 star restaurant!

Pros: Good atmosphere. Great service and staff. Good prices (for the quality. It's a little on the pricey side, but for the quality and service it's worth it!)
Cons: Could have more local beers on tap.

This is the top of the line for it's category. Great atmosphere, fantastic service, great food. Staff was welcoming, friendly, funny, talkative, and attentive. Atmosphere is a high end tavern with a welcoming feel. Beer list was good, not extensive, and could feature more local brews. I had the salmon, which was expertly cooked, the sides were good, not great. Portions were good, not wanting, but not small.

Note: This was a hard review. I've had better, but only because the quality was bordering on a true 5 star restaurant. This is not a black tie experience, but the food could easily be comparable. Rusty bucket straddles the line between high end bar and a dining experience.

Overall would highly recommend.

So yummy! Great menu great atmosphere super friendly staff.

Slightly expensive. Ordered sliders and they werent cooked fully

Had a great lunch. Love the new menu items. It felt very clean and safe. Be back soon.

Good food. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks and food! The plate portion was more than most place for the price.. tv's playing all the time and somewhere you can come with family of all ages. the only draw back is how close together the tables are.

Overpriced! Food you can make at home. Don't waste your time and money.

Always agreat place to pick up.food the buffalo chicken sandwich is my husband favorite! The chick parm is delicious!

Seriously one of the coolest finds yet. Both the service at the food were spectacular!

Great Local Restaurant, small chain, sports bar with nice booths and flexible table seating. HUGE menu with lots of sandwiches and combinations where you can get a half order of a sandwich or salad and a cup of soup. BTW, you can get a half order of most anything on the menu including appetizers. So often I go in and order several half orders of appetizers. Generous drinks and a proper Beer tap room with numerous taps with good cold beers!!

Very expensive for such mediocre food and serving sizes. Our 12oz. glasses of ice and water needed to be refilled way to many times and we had to wait too long each time it needed to be refilled. Food wasn't bad, but it didn't justify the price. Won't return.

I have never had a bad meal here. We drive from an hour away to come here because the food is amazing as well as the service. You can't go wrong with anything you order.

Great food, great long island ice tea, good prices, safe location and nice decor.

Food is always great and our waitress was wonderful!

Possibly the best buffalo chicken sandwich ever made. You need no elaboration. Go get one.

Blackened Salmon Salad is always great. Got the berry infused iced tea today - that was quite nice. Creamy white bean and chicken soup special was fine as was the taco salad.

Clean place, quick service, and good food. Will revisit if in the area again.

Our meal here was excellent and diverse.
We started with spicy cauliflower, which was an excellent blend of a spicy sauce and seasoning, then proceeded to our meals.
I had the vegan bowl which was a combination of kimchi, quina and other veggies and my friend had the salmon bowl.
We were both quite impressed, I highly recommend these dishes.

Best burger ever tbe juicy lucy happy hour half price. Great service. Lots of deals and specials.

This was one of the best burgers that I have had in quite a long time. Great friendly service and fairly priced.

I had the fish tacos, and they are to die for. I always get extra sauce and extra slaw.

The Rusty Bucket is a nice bar/restraunt. The food is quite good in most areas, with a wide selection to choose from. I especially enjoy their sandwiches. In addition, with a solid atmosphere, stylish interior, and adequate waitstaff, the actual experience was quite pleasant. A friend of mine ordered their salmon, and initially got it undercooked. However, after he sent it back, he said it was one of the best he's had in a long time.

The food was very good, large portions, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Pricing was moderate and resturaunt was clean.

Yum, yum, Rusty Bucket's Bucket of Shrimp and fried pickles, salads, soups etc., I'm a regular customer!

Very diverse menu. The chef will be creative with your dietary preferences. Highly recommend! They have good coffee too!

Nice atmosphere. Seating can be limited but otherwise food was good

Great seevice.... should sing happy birthday though

My husband ordered a boneless fried pork sandwich which was out of this world! We always visit when we are in the Cleveland area.

Friendly, spacious atmosphere. Great starting place for a bar crawl. The food was on point as was my Dirty Shirley beverage.

Great service always!! The chicken parm is very good as is the buffalo chicken! We eat there at least once a week!

We ve eaten here a couple times. Service is always awesome. The food quality has taken a dive. It isn t bad per se, just TGIF friday s Quality (so maybe bad).

Last trip we had the pizza- nothing special. Thin layer of flavorless sauce, cheese, few pepperoni. Had been sitting awhile. Was cold.

Burger was ok. Bun was run of the mill. It was cold. For a double bacon burger you would expect something more impressive.

Kids Mac&Cheese was liked by my 5 year old but the small brown bowl was 1/3 filled. It was very odd and disappointing. It looked like a 1/2 portion. Maybe they ran out or were running low? It looked like Stouffers (which is fine) but you d think they could just microwave up some more.

Other kid s shrimp scampi was a decent portion. The shrimp were mealy and covered in what appeared to be some sort of soggy breading. He wouldn t eat it.

The quesadilla was the only thing that felt like it was prepared with some effort and despite that, it just wasn t anything special.

It used to be impossible to get a table here on a Friday night. It should have been a red flag that they were wide open. I don t think we would come back unless it was a last resort.

I d wait for the reviews to start improving. There are several other great American restaurants within 5 minutes that all offer much better food.

My fiance and I use to come here all the time. But when we found out our favorite server, Rebecca didn't work there anymore,we were truly upset. The GM,has no idea how to run a restaurant. They have great food,but the drinks are extremely over priced. Our server,Sean was amazing. Other than that,we won't be back.

My first time at the restaurant and I would go back again.

Food was mediocre
Corned beef was tough
Staff was minimally attentive
Beer way overpriced

Rock solid Cuban sandwich ( which I miss from living in Miami) and chicken wings that put a smile on my 97 year old grandfathers face, with a friendly staff gets 5 stars.

Burger ordered med was served charred. Server was just ok. Never asked if I wanted a 2nd beer or water.

Spinach Con Queso and Tortillas for appetizer and Blacken Salmon Salad was the best thing I have every had from a grille bar setting

Great food, all the staff wore masks, saw one of the staff wiping door handles as soon as someone used the door. Felt safe while having a nice lunch with my girlfriend.

Food was average Fry's were too greeasy.. but the beer was good . But then again it's hard to mess up beer right ? Food went down hill

Why is there always a problem scanning loyalty cards?

Pleasantly surprised by the fantastic staff and SPECTACULAR food. We discovered The Rusty Bucket by accident on our way home from Aurora outlet. Our waitress Emily explained the menu and made a fee suggestions which we took her up on; Buffalo chicken sandwich and the bucket bites, which were both delicious!!!

The food is ok, a little pricey though. A cheese steak sandwich and fries with a lemonade was 17 dollars. The inside is dark too, but i didn't notice until we walked outside and some people in my group liked it was darker, so i guess it depends on personal taste. The wait for our food wasn't bad and the waiter was polite. Overall it's not bad, it's just not amazing either.

Great food, service and atmosphere at a good price.

Food is tasty and not too expensive. The first time I came here my burger was undercooked, but it was during a rush and when I sent it back there were no issues.

The second time I visited I got the philly cheesesteak and it was pretty good.

Lots of sports and news stations on the TV's. It feels more like a bar then a restaurant, but it has a sort of charm to it. There are definitely better places to eat in Solon, but I'd say the Rusty Bucket is worth a try!

We eat here once a month. Great tasting American menu. I love the BBQ chopped chicken salad. Also, the five-way chili is great.

Great food and the black and blue iced tea was phenomenal

Had a private party last night, in their sectioned off room. Food was great and servers were excellent....absolutely NO complaints. Highly recommend, for get togethers
