Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern

The food was great and the servers were knowledgeable about how to handle the food to make sure cross contamination wasn’t an issue. I tried three different entrees and my Nima tests came up negative for gluten on all three food items. Definitely recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service took FOREVER!!! I ordered gluten free quesadillas which are made with corn tortillas. I could tell as soon as it came out that it was made with flour tortillas. Luckily I caught it and sent it back. Unfortunately it took another 40 minutes for a replacement appetizer to come out. Our meals ended up coming BEFORE the replacement appetizer. The manager did come over and apologize and also said he would check to make sure our meals were gluten free. The food was pretty good when we actually received it (1.5 hours after we had arrived). I ordered the pesto chicken pasta and the pasta had great flavor. However, the manager never came back to check in on us again and we weren't given a discount on the item they almost poisoned me with. I will not be returning. If you're looking for a gluten free friendly restaurant with a knowledgable staff, there are other restaurants that I would visit in this area before trying this one.

Celiac friendly?

No

American bar food menu with quite a few options. Not all staff are gf knowledgable, but the kitchen is better. After many great experiences, I unfortunately had a major glutening--was given flour tortillas instead of corn in my quesadilla, and didn't realize until it was too late :(.

Good GF menu. Good food. Good atmosphere.

Good GF variety, labeled right on the menu. Staff was knowledgeable and asked questions.

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 😅
