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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

Questions & Answers

They have a private dining room or the year round patio can be reserved

Rusty Bucket is very family oriented so would expect they would do something special for birthdays
