Rusty Bucket And Tavern - Sarasota

Friendly staff!! Delicious food! But the men's rooms were disgusting. Paper towels on the whole floor. Not clean. Trash cans flow over. The terrible smell of urine.

Great service from Tanya. I had the Cuban. Could only eat half the huge sandwich. The Mac cheese was very good. She had the fish chips, too much. The strawberry shortcake Dessert we had was also good. This was our first visit here and we'll be back soon!

The most confusing burgers I've ever eaten. Visited Tuesday. Not busy. Immediately stuffed. Wait 10 minutes for waiters. Bacon Bucket Burger: this burger was a feat of taste removal. It looked good. The textures were correct. I couldn't taste a bacon. I've removed something and it's just. Tasteless. I didn't taste meat either. So I ate a bit alone. It tasted like boiled Bland Burger. Zero taste. Codwich: roasted fish was crispy and normal for bar food. They left the tartaric acid. In all that sandwich was extremely average. Fries: looked crispy, but was squishy. Not sure what they intended. I enjoyed the bright spice of aromatics (usually onion), but mine was drowned in the season until the point that the salt burned my tongue as I ate.

Very last minute decision to eat here tonight after having in another business for too long with the family. We haven't eaten here for years, and so glad we decided to try again. Our server was Nick, very warm, polite, attentive, service was great. Our food was delicious! I have the Greek salad and it is the best freshest Greek salad I? ve had in really long time, and around 8.49, a steal nowadays. The portion size was large, I could hardly eat anything, lots of salad and olives, feta, chickpeas, red/green pepper, pickled onion, cauliflower, carrots, paprika and the perfect amount of vinaiigrette. Hubby got the turkeyburger, son got the baconburger with Cole Slaw, daughter of Mac and cheese with Fritten. They all loved their meals, and I ate the Cole stole, which was tasty and the frits, Omg, had not expected that they were worth posting about lol they were hot and fresh and seasoned perfect, then paired with Ranch (natural), who does not want a salad with a side of Fritten and Ranch?? Overall, great last minute meal, we will be back sooner than later.

There was about a 30 minute wait which wasn't too bad. Ended up sitting outside. Heaters, fans and screened in area. Anthony was a great waiter. He didn't come by every 2 seconds and didn't ignore us either. The fried pork tenderloin sandwich was fantastic.
