- NNNoraAug 31, 20255.0First time at this location. It was fabulous. I had the soy glazed salmon and green beans. I am so picky about my salmon and this was the best tasting salmon I have had in a very long time. It was done to perfection and the beans were also perfect. Not too hard and not mushy. I literally could eat that meal every night…it was that tasty. Our server Zack did a great job dealing with our order. We even got to meet the dining manager and sous chef who checked on our experience. Super professional.
- BDB DiddyAug 14, 20255.0Bacon burger is so good, it's like the first time a girl tells you she loves you.
- LDlotti dahAug 12, 20255.0Food here is very good. We enjoy the sliders, the brussel sprouts, and the ice cold beer. We were a little disappointed on our last visit to learn that the happy hour menu had changed significantly.
- EMEarl MadisonJul 25, 20255.0Stopped in at the Rusty Bucket in Northville and gave their Double Stacked Quesadilla a try. The presentation was solid—neatly toasted wedges stacked alongside crisp shredded lettuce, guacamole, pico, and a generous dollop of sour cream. The flavor was right where you'd expect it to be: warm, cheesy, and satisfying. The quesadilla had a nice balance of filling and crisp tortilla, and everything tasted fresh. While it didn’t stray far from what you’d find at most bar and grill-style restaurants, it definitely hit the spot for comfort food done right. Overall, it’s a safe and tasty choice if you're in the mood for a classic pub-style quesadilla with a cold beer on the side. Not groundbreaking, but certainly enjoyable.
- VKVeronica KerrJul 8, 20255.0Very nice place! Casual vibe, great food, bartender was very nice as well. Will be happy to return if I'm in the area again!
