Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern

Our server might of been new, because she knew absolutely nothing about celiac disease and nothing about what makes a dish gluten free. She had to go to the back a few times to ask questions, which I appreciated.

I had the burger with a gluten free bun, and mashed potatoes which were all marked gluten free.

Well, I’m thinking the cross contamination in this restaurant is too high because 7-8 hours after I ate (haven’t eaten anything else since), I was puking and pooping forever. And puke warning, it was only what I had at Rusty Bucket, and nothing else I had previously that day.

Celiacs, maybe do not take the chance. Praying that I have healed enough internally where this will not affect me tomorrow when I wake up but we will see

They are very careful when dealing with allergies. My servers always take care of my allergy concerns. They have gluten-free buns on the menu.

The food here is decent & I have never had a reaction. However, I stopped going due to the suspicious price increase. Example: A gluten free double nickel salad costs more than the regular despite it being the same thing (minus the GF having no Bleu cheese). This is unethical IMHO.

There was an entire separate GF menu - including GF beer. I had the quesadilla (with corn tortilla) - SUPER good, and the bacon BBQ burger. The GF bun was alright - held its shape pretty well. Appreciated the GF beer since I’m not a fan of cider.

The food tasted fine, but I had a reaction and was miserable even though I ordered from the gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

No

Despite some reviews, I thought the food was very good, large portions for the money and our waitress had good customer service skills. Had the pesto chicken gluten free which was a nice option from the usual. I will definitely return on another visit to Columbus.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was great. I had the double stacked quesdilla and the pesto chicken. However, the staff was not exceptionally friendly. I asked them to turn the only tv I could see to the UEFA match and got a lot of flack from the manager (?) for it. He did eventually change it, but his argument was that somebody else might want to watch the US Open. At the time there was only one other table that could see that particular television. In fact, the place was mostly empty, but it did start filling up as we were leaving. The napkins literally fell apart with the first use. At this time, I'm not sure if I would return, even though the food was excellent.

Excellent food, no reaction. I've had the pesto chicken pasta and the quesadilla on several occasions. Both were delicious!

Great selection of gluten free menu options. I've ate here several times with my husband and it's always been delicious and I've never had any contamination problems.

Celiac friendly?

Happy to find a local chain with menu.had fish tacos on corn tortillas & barbq chicken. several sides offered.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu that you can request. A good amount of options. I had the shrimp bucket for an appetizer which was very good. I chose the pesto pasta with chicken for the main course. It was a heart portion and very good as well. Will certainly visit again.

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 😅
