Been a minute since we were last here and after a long evening of shopping pickings were slim so Rusty Bucket it was ! Got seated right away and waitress was really helpful in answering questions about the menu. Mrs got the steamed peel n eat shrimp. Nice size portion however it came out on a bucket of ice and was over seasoned IMO. Mrs kinda wanted it hot so if you didn’t want an oversized shrimp cocktail maybe ask if you can get it heated and less Old Bay. The cocktail sauce is great and I took the shrimp and dunked them in my water to de-season them. Problem solved. Plus the Double Nickel salad and a side of Brussels sprouts. I got the Sirloin Chili which had a good flavor to it but really didn’t get much sirloin. And the side house salad with honey mustard dressing. All in all it was pretty good and good sized portions.

After a fun-filled day at Kings Island, we were craving some great food, and Rusty Bucket absolutely delivered! Every dish we tried was excellent, and the sticky bread pudding was truly out of this world. The service was just as impressive. Leah greeted us with a warm welcome—she was not only incredibly sweet and personable, but her art board was adorable and showed off some real talent! Logan, our server, was phenomenal and made the entire experience even better. Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely AMAZING. The depth and complexity of the flavors were on point! Reagan was the perfect server. The amount and quality of the food we had was a great value. We had two bowls of soup, two very nice entrees, and a dessert for less than 100, which includes a 22% tip.

I had a late lunch with a client here.. the Wild Mushrooms pizza was delicious. The dough is made fresh on site.. plenty of mushrooms, cheese and white sauce.. definitely would order again.

We were looking for a restaurant to accommodate a crowd of about 30 - 40 people after our brother's funeral. I was able to get a reservation at RB in a private room. I have to say that our experience exceeded or expectations. I wish I could remember the two servers names as they were great. Good food and excellent service added up to a great experience for us at a sad time. I absolutely recommend these folks for any get together that you have planned, they will exceed your expectations. i know they did for us.

I brought my mom, who has dementia, and my daughter, who has special dietary needs. As you can imagine, we are collectively a bit of a handful. We had the most wonderful dinner! The real shining star of our meal was the *service*; the host was friendly and quite patient with my mom who has a hard time waiting to be seated. Our server, Alexis, was super patient with us, very friendly, and kept the spirit very positive even as my mom had some ordering delays and confusion. She was absolutely on it all meal, bringing drinks and checking in, and accommodating our many requests, all with positivity and thoughtfulness. Our food was really high-quality and very thoughtfully prepared; simple recipes with fresh ingredients and tasteful seasoning. Loved the turkey burger, my daughter loved the regular burger and the sweet potato fries, and my mom’s cobb salad was humongous and really hearty. Our dessert, the bread pudding (pictured) was just as great as it looks. My expectations for a Cameron Mitchell restaurant are pretty high, even for a casual one like this, and tonight the Rusty Bucket exceeded them. I’m certain if he had been here he would have been really proud.

Had the pleasure of eating dinner here. I appreciated the fact that at 6:30 pm, the heart of dinner time, there was no wait and I was sat immediately. I ordered the salmon and sticky rice because I was famished. I had a great server and my meal came very quickly. I will definitely return and explore the fish and chips and fish tacos. I love fish! Did you catch the theme.

We're on an amusement park holiday with me, husband, and our 22-year-old triplets. We've been at Cedar Point and arrived in Mason, OH today for our visit to King's Island tomorrow & Friday. We chose the Rusty Bucket based on location and ratings. We were not disappointed! We got great service from Andy, who gave us park recommendations as well as excellent service. Our food was excellent as well. I had the Double Nickel salad with house dressing. Husband had broccoli cheddar soup Mac N cheese. Kid 1 had the buffalo chicken sandwich. Kid 2 had the sliders. Kid 3 had the beef nachos. All of us loved the food. It was the best food we've had during our trip. Husband even said the soup was the best broccoli cheddar he's ever had. Andy was an excellent server and took good care of us. We highly recommend this restaurant to locals and visitors. I can't say enough about how good our experience was.
