Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern is a hidden gem in Indianapolis! 😍 I recently dined here with friends and was pleasantly surprised by the cozy, casual vibe. The Brussels sprouts with lemon aioli were a standout appetizer - so delicious!

Our server, Nancy, was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. I treated myself to the tenderloin and onion rings, while my daughter enjoyed sweet potato fries. Every bite was fantastic!

The Tuesday happy hour special of half-price wine is a steal! 🍷 Overall, a delightful experience that I can’t wait to repeat soon!

The Rusty Bucket delivers a fantastic casual dining experience! I tried the beef Stroganoff, and it was remarkable - rich, creamy, and packed with fresh mushrooms. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for families. Can't wait to return for more comfort food!
