    One thing I always found was a consistent meal and service at this venue. However , their staple of fish and chips is a little to be desired in this trip. Service was great as usual but a noticeable difference in those fish and chips. Disappointed this trip.

    It's comfort food at its best. I had the meatloaf and smashed potato's, greenbeans. To drink, i had a wonderful glass of ice tea. The servicer was a little over whelmed, a lot of people there. Friday night, so give yourself a little extra time. You can make reservations! Price $$

    Riley was a GREAT server! She was friendly, attentive & professional! My husband, my grandchildren and myself greatly enjoyed our time! We so appreciated our reservation for 4 was ready when we arrived—as we had a tight schedule to get to a soccer and workout practice !

    Our server, Taylor, was superbly attentive and cheerful on this very busy Wednesday evening—busy no doubt because of the pork tenderloin sandwich special which continues to be our favorite dish at the Bucket. We enjoyed a terrific dining experience in every way. Thank you!

    As always the food was delicious and the service was great. Bartenders went out of their way to make sure a special cocktail I ordered was exactly what I wanted! We love it there! Highly recommend!

    Great as usual. Only complaint is they started using garlic seasoning for their fries some months ago and still are. The new seasoning is not for me. The way they seasoned the fries before I always told people they had the best fries I have ever had.
