    Rusty Bucket Wings
    Nina M.

    I found Rusted Bucket from the Inkind app. It's a local tavern in Northville. They have daily specials and standard bar offerings including pizza, soups, salads, burgers and an assortment of beer, wine and spirits. Staff was polite and I was greeted upon entering each time. Best place to sit: the bar if drinking. Best food item: BBQ chopped chicken salad and wild mushroom pizza. It was flavorful and something I enjoyed. I tried the double stacked quesadilla which fell flat with a small amount of filling. The brussel sprouts were good, but needed salt for flavor. Wing I had were undercooked and I just opted to take them home to cook further instead of tossing. I would not recommend ordering them unless happy hour pricing and you ask them to fry them hard. Drinks: standard pours and beer on tap. They have a regular clientele as the bartender started orders when they say people walk in. I've visited twice. The latest visit today, included the undercooked wings, wild mushroom pizza that was not hot when brought out and pretty good straight pours of bourbon. I visited at happy hour and tipped on the regular price but won't run back to visit unless it's a to go order if a salad.

    This spot is alright, the service is fantastic, the food is okay, and the interior has a good vibe. Stopped in with a group for an early dinner, they have some good happy hour selections till 6pm. Most dishes are very overpriced for what you get, the food is okay- depending on what you order. The peel and eat shrimp were well seasoned. I got baja tacos and didn't love them. Our server was great and the staff we encounter were all friendly. The interior was well-decorated. A good spot for happy hour.

    We went during happy hour for dinner. Service was great, fast and friendly. My husband ordered the steak and I have to say it was cooked perfectly medium rare and the flavor was fantastic. I had French onion and a Juicy Lucy burger for $7. What was nice though is the small offering of non alcoholic cocktails and beers. This NA Rita was good- a bit too much ice but the flavor was good.

    This is a hidden gem of a place. My family has been coming here for 15 years now. My favorite has always been the Rueben sandwich and the house French onion soup. I've never had bad service and the managers have always been friendly and happy to help the servers to make your experience special. The ambiance is old style tavern with modern conveniences the gives the rusty bucket a warm family friendly atmosphere. This last dining experience the grandson had chicken fingers and mashed potatoes, I had the Baja tacos and my son and daughter in law had the buffalo chicken sandwiches. All rated amazing. The place is clean and well staffed. Lots of menu choices and don't forget a great desert menu. Give this gem a try and you'll be glad you did.

    Mahi Mahi tacos.. They were very good. A perfect plate of food before a concert when you know you will be dancing

    This was not my first visit but I had different items and came with a different friend. The restaurant was comfortable and the service was great. My friend had the imposter burger and I had the Mahi Mahi tacos. We were both pleased with our meals. We both had the red wine sangria which was tasty and quite a large portion. We left feeling satisfied and this was a great restaurant before our concert at Northridge Church.

    Came in for lunch. Got a margarita and some wings. The fact that Jose Cuervo Gold is $10 is outlandish to me. I ordered the $16 wings, asked for dry rub and got buffalo. The wings weren't nasty but that's not what I asked for. I was on limited time so I didn't even care to ask them to remake them. I literally watched the lady in the bathroom leave without washing her hands. She was not an employee. I just thought it was disgusting because there's no telling what she touched. Speaking of dirty, I was given a filthy plate with my wings. Definitely didn't even touch that. I'm just wondering why it was even given to me in the first place.. there's no way the bartender didn't see that ahead of time. For a $37 lunch, and that's before tip, i am disappointed. The Bingham Farms location is 100% better.

    I really enjoyed this place and appreciate the service we received as well. We stopped in on a Thursday around 1pm and the bar was entity so we were able to sit down and were greeted immediately. We wanted to have w local beer as I was visiting from out of town and he was very forthcoming in proving us samples and letting us try the local brew. Sometimes bartenders don't care to give you samples but it was super nice to have him accommodate us. He even gave us a free beer for one he started pouring and then we changed our mind. Super nice of him. We ordered like a half sandwich half soup type deal. Nothing really out of this world spectacular, but I feel like if you want good service and a nice feeling restaurant around the golf course area, this spot is for you!

    This place was a lot of fun!…read more There are not many places that can make a medium rare cheeseburger with the cheese melted upon serving, but they killed it, not once, not twice but 4 times!! (4 patties) Their limited menu seems to give more effort toward the quality and taste of their items offered. I don't believe you can go wrong with anything you order. Their food is very tasty, including the queso dip and whatever seasoning they used on their burgers. Our server Layla was very prompt, helpful and had great suggestions! The ambiance of this place is like a fun Irish drinking pub, it's not intimate, but it's not a giant lallapalooza either. The noise level is average and everyone was enjoying their time. This is a great place for good food and a fun time. They had some shot specials due to St Patrick's day coming, so we tried the "Shamrock shakes" which were very good! When traveling through Plymouth I highly recommend stopping in!

I completely appreciate that things get screwed up in the kitchen or service can be slow- it's how the restaurant responds that matters most to me. My dad, husband, brother in law, and sister all got burgers that were rare or medium rare. My dads and brother in laws were well done. My brother in laws literally was black. My husbands and sisters were overcooked but tolerable. My dad and brother in law sent theirs back to get them rare and it took over 25 minutes before mu dad just said he wanted his order cancelled. My dad was told that they were busy and that's why his burger took so long to get recooked- but the restaurant was half full. When one of the servers heard that my dad didn't want the burger anymore he told him "that's fine, I'll eat it." My brother in law got his to go and it was still burnt. They also told him that they wouldn't give him fries with his to go order because he already ate his fries. Not a big deal, but at this point why be a jerk and point it out? I had to ask our waiter for ranch 3 times before I finally asked another person for some. My son's pizza was also burnt. Super super disappointing.

We ordered dinner right away. 2 people had the rueben, one the french dip, one the crab cake blt, one the chicken sandwich and one the walleye. The french dip was so dry that even the jus couldn't revive it. The crab cake blt had no flavor and was to come with kettle chips. It came with the bottom of the bag regular chips. The rueben, which should be the star at an Irish pub was just okay. I Would recommend eating before hand and just listen to the band. They were fire!!

I went with the standby fish and chips which was a nice portion, cooked perfectly, and I also enjoyed the cole slaw to complement the cod. A Smithwick's Irish red ale was quite nice with the fish. My friend enjoyed the walleye which was on special. We set at a beautiful wooden bar that had a circular section at one end which offered us a great vantage point of looking at multiple TV's upstairs. Kim B. was a friendly bar tender and always served us with a smile and was very efficient. As we were finishing to head to a hockey game we noticed a live band setting up which I'm sure was fun for those who were able to stay, listen to some music, and cheer on the Detroit Tigers in game 5 of the ALDS.

We ordered the corn beef Reuben and giant nachos. The nachos had the tri-colored chips which for some reason I feel taste better than just the regular tortilla chips. It was loaded up with beef, cheese, beans with all the nacho fixins. It was large and we couldn't finish it. The Reuben sandwich had a generous amount of corn beef and tangy sauerkraut on marbled rye bread. It came with fries, a side of coleslaw, and a pickle. Huge and delicious sandwich for $16. Drinks seemed a little pricy at $9 each for Crown Royal Apple. The reason for 3 stars is the service was not that great. They were busy when we got there so understandably it took a few minutes to get our drink and dinner order in but when there was 4 people left in the place and the bartender ignored us for 15 minutes we decided to go over to where she was at and interrupt her conversation so we could cash out. I understand chatting with your regulars but they lost out on another round of drinks and possibly a round of shots because we didn't get any attention. Other than that we enjoyed our food, drinks and ambience. Hopefully this isn't the norm here because it's a solid dive bar/restaurant in the Canton area.

We ordered steak bites for an app and ordered them medium rare. They came pretty quickly, they were gray and did not taste good. It tasted like steak pieces that were in a fridge and got micro waved. They were served with canned mushrooms, pita bread and bbq sauce? For our meals we got wings, a burger, and perch dinner. Wings were good, burger was on a stale bun and the burger wasn't seasoned, perch was also okay. French onion soup came with the perch dinner and that was very good. Service was pretty good, around 530 the restaurant did get pretty busy. Won't come back here to eat, but is good for drinks and playing keno.
