Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern - American restaurant in Columbus - 4109 N High St, USA

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 😁

Got the double stacked quesadilla’s and they were delicious, also got the Mac and cheese for $8.99 off doordash and the container came with maybe 4 bites of noodles… they must’ve run out of noodles but that’s the point they should call the customer/doordash and let them know. Edit: $7.19 for the Mac. Edit: had to give them another star cause this place is delicious and very consistent. Edit 10-27 ordered from here multiple times now and each time is better than the last. Some of the best food and most consistent(sorry to reiterate) that I’ve ever had from a restaurant. I also mainly order it for delivery so it holds up very well.

Food was great, nice craft beer selection. Chicken tender portion was a little skimpy for the price.

UPFATE 11.06.2023 Rachael was delightful and 5-Star service! I said it was my birthday just 2 days ago... and we were perusing through the menu...low and behold there was PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE with a 2nd tier of durable whipped cream with caramel sprinkles or something tasty embedded in the topping! Linda and I kept looking for something affordable. We came up with their "Triple Deal". They have a Double Deal, too. We really liked the soup, salad, and 1/2 Sub sandwich for $14.99. There was plenty to eat. The Double Deal comes without the soup for $9.99 or $10.99. We enjoyed the ambiance in the Main Room with the bar...along with a very oversize big screen tv showing Monday night football! The ambiance with the "Feel" of being in a country club! The warm feel of executive accoutrements. The rosewood and privacy blinds at every window. Or, take it to the Street! Plenty of scenery sitting high on a balcony protected by stately evergreen. Rachel was very attentive to our drinks and stopping by for our plates. Then, she delivered that Pumpkin Cheesecake - and 2 forks. Need i say more? The downside was loud music that overpowered the sports on tv. BUT, they did get it turned down. The main dining room with the bar has a much better feel! We gave Rachael an $8.00 tip.

Went here for my birthday dinner last night. First time trying food from here. The place looked great inside out. Once inside, we found it quite lively-took us a minute to get seated though. We ordered two buffalo chicken sandwiches (the actual chicken itself was quite good but that wheat bun was a fail), a turkey burger ( my sister said it was good), perogies (none of us liked it), Mexican street corn salad (one of my favs of the night, fried pickles (fantastic if eaten while hot. Hands down our number 1 pic from the meal), and the spinach queso dip). One thing I will note is that it was so cold in the restaurant. We seriously debated on if we should just get our food to go or not. We decided to eat in and was uncomfortable the whole time because of it being cold. Another note- unfortunately, I do not recall our servers name (she totally looks like Brittany Murphy if you see her though) but she was another highlight. Infectious bubbly smile and attitude. Overall the experience here for us was “ok”. The food was ok.

Always get right in never have to wait to get seated. This place has a great variety of food. Food is awesome. Brussel sprouts are the best sprouts ever. They are cooked to perfection. Very good food at a great price.

Top quality service and food. Never been disappointed by any menu item but always find it hard not to order the buffalo chicken sandwich! Great draft beer selection with some nice happy hour deals. The place is always busy so keep that in mind 😎

Great food and quick service! Major complaint would be the parking lot, it’s a very small parking lot the restaurant wasn’t even half way full but the parking lot was. Other wise food is great and service was quick!
