Rusty Bucket Tavern Reviews

The food is good for their target. Not the best I've had, but I go for the beer and cocktails. The bartender Jeremy is real great. He makes a mean drink so come prepared.

Great little secret in Solon. Great service and better food!

Good bar food, not fantastic. It seems like it is always really cold in there, bring a jacket.

Food was very good, Definitely would go back, however, server was less than attentive to drink refills! Looking around seemed to be luck of the server draw!

Server was awesome! Handled the large birthday party group we were part of. My salad was a decent size, house made dressing was tasty.

The burger was wonderful! It was fresh, cooked perfect and very tasty. Great atmosphere. onion rings and mac and cheese were cold , although the mac and cheese was very cheesy and great tasting. They said everyone loves the spinach dip, but to me it tasted sour. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be.??? We will be back none the less!

Best food around. Try the Hot Brown...a Sunday special favorite!

One of my favorite spots in the area. Friendly staff, great food, good beer and whiskey selection. The salads are all very good. The salmon salad with honey mustard dressing is fabulous.

I think the bartender Jeff is suicidal. Other than that, the wings are pretty tasty.

Very good food, I recommend the Parmesan chicken and the pan seared salmon. Everything is delicious!!

Tried for first time. Location clean and well designed. Servers were friendly and attentive. Portions were huge! I tried the meatloaf and found it to be very tender and tasty. The mushroom sauce added to the flavor and gave the mashed potatoes flavor too which could have used some butter. The only thing I found lacking were the green beans which still tasted raw and hard to me. But, the portions of meat and potatoes were so large and filling, the green beans were not missed.

This place is Great! We had my sister and brother in law's 50th Anniversary. Sue the manager and Stephanie the waitress are the Best. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place.

Great place to stop for lunch, good food, fast service!

Consistently a 10 out of 10 I highly recommend it, food, service and atmosphere are A+.

We tried this place because we were close and they offered Curbside.

I ordered the Beef Stroganoff for myself and a kids Mac and Cheese for a neighborhood pigeon (who always gives me the "stink eye").
The BS came with 2 pieces of delicious garlic bread (and a side of Sour Cream) and the M + C came with tasty fries. I was very impressed by both dishes. My Strog had great flavor (with and without the sour cream) and was very saucy.

I am going to find any excuse to try more food from the RB. Thank you very much!

Service was very slow. Asked several times for refills. Food was ok, not the greatest where we would visit again. The food was definitely not worth the cost!

Nice staff still had to wait but bartender went over order with me to make sure it was right

Love the food and the atmosphere. Service was nice to

Diana was fantastic. All of her recommendation were on point. It s so refreshing to go to a place that has employees who act like real people and not just robots. We heard the crew talking and they made us feel comfortable and like regulars. Will definitely be back, as long as they have people with real personalities and not the classic corporate robots.

Great food great drinks
Stew was one of the best servers I have had in a long time!

The first time I went it was a party of four when we first entered the building it was like everything just stopped the lady at the door didn t even speak me and my uncle spoke and she just said how many we said 4 and wanted to be in the back she just started walking seated us and walked away. The only reason I am even giving them a three is because the food was great but the waitress was fidigy and stumbling over her words as if she was so nervous. But once we placed our order and started talking to her she kind of let go of her anxiety she was experiencing. I was like good Lord we don t bite. Probably won t go back first impression are very important to people and its a fact that you will forget what someone say but you will always remember how they made you feel! Just saying.

Hospitality and service a 10. Very popular for lunch, so we arrive early. My husband loves their fish and chips and I usually order their black bean burger, which is hand formed and very moist.

Look, I have been coming here for years and the food has always been great. The service USED to be great, when they had younger, grateful adults working, but that day is no longer. This is the third time I've come about an hour before close, with no one here, and the server has been about as attentive as a dad at a Justin Bieber concert. Our server, Kelly or something along those lines, took several minutes to bring 2 WATERS while she held them and spoke to the bartender for some time. She brought the fried pickles and never asked how they were. My girlfriend finished her first water halfway through the appetizer and the server said she would bring a refill after dropping off the entrees. However, her closing outs took priority and after 2 minutes I walked up to the bar to ask her again and she replied that she was "on her way" when she was clearly stocking glasses. I serve and host so I know how restaurants work and I know the steps of service and they were not executed close to properly. My girlfriends burger had some items on it that she ordered omitted, but alas. Also, the chef came out of the kitchen to ask a table when the other half of their party would arrive which is a HUGE nono in the restaurant industry and is just straight unprofessional.

Like I said, the food is always great. But the baby boomer servers and bar tenders they brought in remind me of the entitlement, inattentiveness, and ungrateful attitude that the same generation accuses millenials of. But I will take a man or woman in her 20s who wants to earn their money over an older server who feels they deserve 20% while being slow, inefficient, and forgetful.

Food was reasonably priced, not much on the menu though, drink prices are kinda high. 8 bucks a shot for scotch.

The food was amazing! Get a burger and a Bloody Mary!

Nothing special, fresh or memorable here. Had the Bucket Bites. Dried out with overcooked cheese. How do you mess up a slider? Been a long time since I was here. Be a long time before I'm back.

Great service. Had the fish and chips. The fish could have passed for British. The fries were nowhere near authentic, but they were addictively flavorful so no complaints.

Had the bread pudding dessert. Great serving size, on point with the sweetness level and absolutely delicious.

A bit pricey, but the experience was delightful.

Good food needs better service,my brother got raw meet 3 times but eventually they got it

Service was terrible. It took 1 hour to get served lunch. A salad and a burger

Best salmon in the area fresh cut every day. Great drinks

Great experience! We went with a 3 year old and a slightly fussy 7 month old, and the staff was all smiles and super helpful, not to mention the food quality is top notch!

A nice little "brewpub" in an unassuming mall location. Great selection of local craft brews paired with a nice menu. Very tasty food with a wide variety of options. Cool selection of mixed drinks. Try their burgers!

Their house dressing is literally the best dressing EVER. Food is always amazing and staff is almost all super friendly!

Ok, pizza was awful, over an hour wait for food while tables around us were served quickly.

I had a fabtastic time at The Rusty Bucket in Solon. I ordered the House Salad, the Bucket Bites, and sticky rice. The House Salad was delightful. The ranch dressing was the perfect amount of thickness for drizzling, however the croutons needed to be tastier. The lettuce had a perfect crunch, but the mushrooms were not very tasty. The Bucket Bites were yum triple yum yum yum. I mean yum! However, the buns were a bit soggy. Also, the pickles were in a strange place. They came on top of the buns which made me very nervous. The sticky rice was the stickiest sticky rice I have ever had. I was surprised when I took the first bite and it didn't fall apart. Also, our server, Jason, was quite the character. He was friendly and cheerful. We got our food within ten minutes which was a niceness point for The Bucket. And he even let us pick where we wanted to sit! At the end of our meal, he even recommended the peach-mango sucker in the mini bucket at the front of the restaurant. One more important thing that I cannot forget is the bathroom! Both of the restrooms had TWO signs telling boys or girls which was a nervousness point for The Bucket. But the inside of the lady's restroom was surprisingly rustic. It had a very nice design, but I would like to point out that only one of the mirrors did not have a picture on it. This was upsetting for people like me who love looking at themselves 24/7. Also, the tattoos and minty toothpicks were a great addition to the lovely time we spent at The Bucket, but dinner mints were not included. All in all, the Rusty Bucket in Solon is a great place to stuff a rabbit in a jar of peanut butter!

First time visiting since March; we waited 45 minutes and observed other customers served within 25 of their arrival. I will say that the food is consistently good, service fail way short of our expectations.

Another great meal. A big appeal for me is that you can have a conversation without shouting. Quiet music in the background means a good time with friends. And they have a nice selection of beers without the choices being overwhelming.

Great meal! Took the family and everyone was satisfied. Our waiter suggested the meatloaf and it was delicious!

French soup was ok..prices are a little high but server was really good.

Great service and good food with a casual atmosphere.

I love this place been going for years. Never had a bad experience. My last experience was exceptional. I went on my birthday with the chicken parmesan meal in my mind. It was often the menu. I commented to my waitress and without prompting she offered to go to the back and see if they could still make it for me. She told me it's coming back in a few weeks but should still be able to make it. They did it was fantastic. That level of costumer service. Thank you you made my day

Highly recommend the flat bread pizza. I will go out of my way to have it again. Service was a little slow, but still made for a nice evening.

Best Buffalo Chicken Sandwich in the greater Cleveland area. Hands down.

Awesome wings and burgers. They've hit the nail square on the head when it comes to comfort foods.

Great service, food was really good. A little pricier but it was acceptable as the service made up for it

Good visit and ask for Christopher for your server.

Great food. Great staff. I was asked to wait 20 minutes on a pickup to honor a 3rd party 5$ off coupon so they had to call corporate to get permission. They did not honor the coupon after 20 minute wait. We order about every 3 weeks and the manager should have just honored the coupon instead of losing customers. This order was cold and I had to inhale my food when I got back to work. Kinda absurd if you ask me. :(

I actually dont like to pick up food from here. Always have to wait. Wasnt going to go there but I saw they had curbside delivery/pick up and thought, oh yeah. I'll try that. Got to be better to wait in the car than go inside and wait. Had a 15 minute wait for the food to be brought to the car. Not real happy about t h.g at. Ordered online 45 minutes before my pick up time. It was better waiting in my car but still.

I ORDERED A NEW YORK STRIP STEAK I ASKED FOR WELL DONE IT HAD TO BE SENT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS MEDIUM WELL THEIR WAS ALOT OF GRISSLE HAD TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COOK IT OVER WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE RESTURANT

I dine here a lot and the staff is always so friendly. Tonight my roommate and I had a server named Reggie and he was fantastic! He was nice, knew the menu well, prompt, and very helpful. I look forward to dining here in the future!

This place was awesome and Debbie the bar tender was amazing

I Had The Best Damn Porter House Steak Ever & The Mac & Cheese Is To Die For!!! This Place Is Going On My Favorite List On My Travels!!! I Hope U Guys Branch Out In Montana!!!!

My son can't get enough of the mac&cheese! Always his fave. And I love that they offer many side dishes for kids meals.

This food is always devine, the servers are always nice and on top of everything. I can not Express how fresh the food always tastes. One of the best places to eat in Solon

A client bought my dinner from here one day.It was absolutely delicious. The fish (cod) sandwich was like no other. I like in another city but will travel for a meal from Rustt Bucket.

Regular spot for lunch with many options for food and good service.

My favorite place. Ever. French onion soup. Everything.

Decent menu options. Fair prices. Service was not great but decent. This was a nice option for 5pm when the restaurant down the road was overflowing and a long wait. They keep it a bit too dark in the place for my taste. Some decor and updating could make this place a bit more current as it s looking a bit tired.

Ate here twice during my stay. Excellent food! They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had - asking with their fried dill pickles!

Really like the Rusty Bucket. Good food and great help. Waiters and waitresses are great.
