Great experience, we had a large party and their accommodations were outstanding. They dedicated 4 servers to our group and they delivered. Chicken parmigiana was on my plate and it was tasty and filling. The room was warm and comfy also. Overall a great dining experience!

Pleasant atmosphere with a diverse menu. Given that Fricker’s, Rooster’s, and other similar establishments are so close, Rusty Bucket doesn’t do much to stand out. If you’re looking for a good drink selection, albeit a bit on the pricey side, you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

Consistently delicious meals! We have eaten here a few times whenever we are in Miamisburg and have always had great meals. They have a nice patio area with quick service. They have a separate gluten free menu and were very good with my wife’s allergies. We shared the quesadilla appetizer and then my wife had the fish tacos! Both gluten free! She has had several sandwiches and burgers there all of which have been delicious as well. I’m a big fan of the buffalo chicken sandwich and rarely stray from that.

Tried out this restaurant while in town. Nice decor, staff was friendly, and service was really good. The 1/2 sandwich, soup, and salad combo was really tasty. Would definitely stop back in on a future trip.

Good food. A bit pricey for what it is

Best choices: Bucket O'Shrimp (silver bucket filled with ice and peel and eat shrimp, cocktail sauce, Old Bay and remoulade!!) and the pineapple infused rum. Otherwise, it's just average...

This bar was very accommodating. The menu offered a large selection of cocktails all of which were designed in house. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend the isthmus bucket for any casual get together
J Snodgrass
Very good food. Waiter was extremely freindly.
Cara Chitwood
Really good battered chicken strips! The fries are seasoned well and the house chips are yummy - and not super hard like some kettle-style chips are. We'll have to come back for happy hour, or to try some of your cool drinks! (Craft beer, infusions, handcrafted tea & lemonade) Prices are a little high. Ambiance is nice! Service excellent. We came on Sunday evening
Michelle Smith
thanks for the lovely gf meal - much appreciated
Robert Reynolds
This spot is my preferred one. I eat in plenty of restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The stuff is very attentive and the cuisine they place on your table is so delicious. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner here. Highly recommended.
Katherine Hoelscher
Wonderful service and hospitality. The food was delicious and better quality than I was anticipating. I had their version of an old fashioned ($7.25 - made with Woodford Reserve!), bucket bite sliders and the sticky bread pudding. Everything was superb!
Cory Seevers
Excellent meal and service my wife and I shared the nachos and each had a burger. The nachos were some of the best I ever had and the burger was right up there too. Food was hot and fresh and drinks were never empty. Will be back to a rusty bucket
Corey Lee
Sandra is awesome!! The best waitress ever
Carol Hudson
Best $5 hamburger, great service and good selection of draft beers.
Jason Nassar

Steph R
The Rusty Bucket is a fun, casual place to go for some delicious food! I love getting their quesadilla made gluten free. It’s absolutely delicious!!
Chad Cochran
Love the beer cheese burger. I miss the onion straws they used to put on it but its still one of the best burgers in Dayton.

Terrific restaurant! You can always count on Rusty Bucket to give you a perfect dinner. In all the food they make, they put their heart into it and it's never ruined. They make sure to make your dinner one to remember. I recently had an experience with Rusty Bucket that really meant a lot. My 5 year old sister had a birthday on that day, and every single employee at Rusty Bucket at the moment signed a card and said happy birthday! They also gave her a free ice cream that had a bunch of things in it that she really enjoyed. Recommended for families looking for a great meal for a great price!

The food was good but it took a longtime to get it
Yvonne Holloway
Good service and excellent Fish and Chips! Only complaint is the awful, uncomfortable booths.
Jovon Morsby
Great food and drinks pork chop sandwich was good and service was too
brian bowersox
Great place for a quiet meal. Good food and drinks. Not a typical sports bar.
Paula Burden
I wasn't overly impressed with the fish. Nothing special, a little over priced.
Karen Bowers
The food was great! Our waiter Zach was awesome! He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Definitely will go back and particularly ask for Zach.
Billie Buck
Great environment good food. Will definitely eat there again.
Mike Brasel
Great lunch today. Always enjoy the Baja fish tacos! Server,Rebecca, was very friendly, prompt and helpful.
Stephanie Rish
Love the consistent chain food, but service at this location was annoying. Either all in or all out, girl checked on us 4 times in 10 monutes, so I felt extremely rushed, but then it also took the drinks like 20 minutes so... Enter with known expectations.
Alex Sims
A great experience here. Great staff who were very quick with assistance!
Maria
Sandra provided us with excellent service. The food was also outstanding!
Sherrie Reichert
Great fish tacos , sorry I ate most of it before I took a photo lol . Came in a Friday night and got seated timely and the server was great . Good mixed drinks and clean place all around !
Jennifer Jones
Omgoodness! I love the food. And can I just say...that SANDRA is my most favorite server in your restaurant! She deserves a high shot out. Plase reward her somehow!

The pizza is a thin soft crust. It's nothing special, but the sausage was good. The chicken fingers have more of a batter than a breading, like most, but were good white meat. Glad we went for happy hour (half price). Pizza was 12" (and $14.49 reg) and the chicken was 5 small strips and a few cold over salted fries (11.49 reg). Overall it was okay, but regular pricing is overpriced or small portions. The beer (can't say about the liquor) was extremely overpriced. Happy hour is only $1 off.
