Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu. I had a GF quesadilla and it was delicious.

I always get the GF quesadillas and have never had a problem. They are delicious and they are very careful about cross contamination.

I have never had any issues at this restaurant. They seem to be very knowledgeable on being GF. I always get the GF quesadillas and they're great!

It’s a bar food restaurant, so you better not set your expectations at “gourmet.” That said, this is a great place to grab dinner. I generally get a hamburger w/ mashed potatoes on the side. I’ve never been cross contaminated, yet. You need to ask for a gluten free menu, since it’s separate from the regular menu. No frills, but tastes great.

I got really sick here, even though I alerted the waitress of being gluten free and ordered a salad with grilled meat that should have been gluten free anyways. Won’t be returning. 2 stars because even though I got sick, the salad *was* good.

fiance had severe reaction to food even though she was told that "the minute you request a gf menu we scrub down the kitchen". spoke with manager about our experience and he compensated us with gift cards, but we'll not be back. it's been a long time since she got this sick...

I'm downgrading my rating of this restaurant. We have eaten at this restaurant many times without issue - but recently, that changed. They have no options for children. Sometimes, we've ordered GF Mac and cheese. Typically the noodles are crunchy - but my child still likes the cheese sauce. They switched waitresses after we got our drinks because our waitress was being sent home (she was very nice and helpful). The new waitress seemed ok but not as friendly. We explained that my child has Celiac and Ordered GF Mac and cheese. The meal was ready faster than normal (but the first waitress had asked the kitchen to start booking a pot of water immediately when she took our drink order). My child ate the Mac and cheese and a few minutes later needed to throw up (which is his symptom when he is badly glutened). I asked the waitress if the Mac and cheese was GF and she immediately said yes and said that the sauce probably didn't agree with him. The manager came over and said for sure the pasta was GF. My son vomited every 15-20 minutes for 3 hours - his reaction to a non GF meal. I think it wasn't GF and I find it strange that the waitress was so quick to blame the sauce.... If you order something that is not on the menu- ask to speak with the manager first! This restaurant needs a couple of GF dessert options (without nuts) in addition to some kid friendly GF options on their GF menu.

Terrible experience. They screwed up my dinner in kitchen. Still don't know what happened. After 45 mins. my family got their meal. Mine came about 20 mins later. They had already taken my meal off the bill, and offered us all free dessert. The pasta wasn't even cooked to al dented, the chicken piece was very small and dry. Something in the dish was very spicy. I didn't eat it all, and we skipped dessert. We will never go back!

Had a great experience at Rusty Bucket tonight.

They accidentally put fries on the plate with my gluten free burger, which I can’t have since those aren’t gluten free.

I wasn’t upset or anything, that was no big deal to me. But I was impressed because the manager and waitress personally apologized, comped my burger, and gave me a piece of gluten free cheesecake.

We also had great service from the waitress. Didn’t quite get her name… Anne or Amber 😅
