Menu was well labeled. I had the fish tacos and cheesecake for dessert - yum!!
Very good experience. Although we’ve ordered takeout many times, this was my first time dining there. Food was very good. Only disappointment is they no longer serve Redbridge beer!

Probably 80% of the menu is not GF, but the GF options we got were delicious and caused no reactions. We shared the double-stack quesadilla, blackened salmon salad, and each got a burger. Burgers made using a much better bun than the typical Udi’s brand, and there wasn’t any up charge for using the GF buns. Will definitely add this to our list of go-to places.
This was my first time at the Rusty bucket and my meal was amazing! My husband and I shared two items. Thefirst item was a chicky chicky bowl with herb chicken , kale ,cabbage , brown rice ,pickled carrots ,curried cauliflower ,marinated tomato ,beets ,pinenuts and goat cheese !! It was amazing , the second dish we had was baked rigatoni crushed meatballs tomato rag out whipped ricotta mozzarella and basil both of them were terrific and we topped it off with the gluten-free cheesecake!!!
I ate here three times this week because the food was so good. Confidently gluten free. The servers each time knew exactly what I was taking about and they assured me proper protocol is followed in the kitchen (hand washing etc). I had the chiki bowl and the blackened salmon salad with mashed potatoes. Incredibly good. My colleague ate the burger (also can be made gf), and said it was the best burger he ever ate.
Went with my fiancé who has celiac disease. He ordered fish tacos and we had the shrimp appetizer. We let the waitress know that he has celiac and she seemed to understand and informed the kitchen. The food was great and he didn’t get sick! We will be back!!
Had the gluten free quesadilla last night. The waiter was great, understood my concerns and I had no issues!
Staff was knowledgeable. Didn't get sick. Burger with gf bun and coleslaw m best handmade margaritas I've ever had!
I asked for the GF quesidilla, it was brought out as a regular. I asked to make sure it was the gluten free and they assured me it was, I had to ask a second time before the chef confirmed it was not gluten free. It took another 20 minutes for the gluten free version to come back out.

Menu items were clearly marked, staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Very good food, satisfied with my experience.
Best burger ever!! Service was great!
I had the quesadilla and my stomach hurt afterwards. The manager brought out my food and made sure to say it was gluten free
I had the salmon and it was fantastic! They replaced the soy with no sauce and the sticky rice and beans with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was so good! They were also quick to write down gluten free and brought it out and introduced it as gluten free salmon.
The staff said there would be precautions but I'm not confident any were taken. The menu has items starred that are "Gluten-Free Friendly" with an asterisk at the bottom of the menu indicating using gluten free ingredients but acknowlinging the facility is not gluten free.
I ordered the BBQ chicken salad, my sister who is gluten intolerant ordered the fish tacos as did my husband, both indicating it as needing to be gluten free. When the food came out we realized the side which is the Mexican corn salad is not marked with a star under the sides section. So even though the meal is marked and the server was told, a non gluten free menu item was still included as part of the meal.
I wouldn't normally have taken the risk but this was a gathering with out of town family following a funeral and I didn't want to be a nuisance, I won't be taking the risk again as I have no confidence it was safe
