Review - Rusty Bucket Tavern, Upper Arlington

Hello all!  Well the final dinner of the weekend took me to Rusty Bucket Tavern in Upper Arlington.  I have been here once before and I liked the atmosphere so much that I thought I'd come back again.  The place is set up like a cozy sport bar with red brick and wood interior.  It has generous seating in the bar area as well as tables and booths in an elevated restaurant tier.  Every table has a great view to a television for all your sports needs.  I actually went here to watch the rest of the Browns/Bengals game without going to some grease pit bar with just burgers and fries on the menu.

That being said, I still ordered a burger!  I ordered the All Jacked Up burger which is a beef patty topped with lettuce, tomato, jalapenos and Monterrey Jack cheese.  It was delicious and hit the spot!  I ordered the burger well done and it came out perfectly juicy, thick, and without any burnt edges.  The fries that came with it were seasoned with garlic and herbs.  Wash it all down with an IPA and I was in heaven.  My girlfriend ordered the lemon chicken that came with steamed broccoli, white rice, and a mushroom sauce.  I did not try her dish, but she said that she loved it! 

So, just a quick review this time.  I really like this bar for its cozy atmosphere without being a hole-in-the-wall.  Plus, sports fans are everywhere.  It is definitely the place to be for the big game.  Prices were reasonable, just under $10 for a burger and entrees where between $10-15.  The place is not too big so there is always a TV close to your table.  I would definitely come back here any day of the week and I think you should too!
