We had book club / dinner club there and everything was awesome. The hostess, our waitress, the secluded room we were seated in to discuss the book, the food; it was an enjoyable evening all around.

We took our grandkids, twins age 11. We all had a really fun time. Our waiter was Brice and he explained everything to the kids. Also he was able to keep our table happy even though he had another table of 20 guys. The kids loved cooking their own food. It was a real treat for all of us. Putting it on the family list to return.

We usually go to Rusty Bucket once a month during the week. We went on a Sunday evening so we could enjoy their daily special Basil Pesto Chicken and it was excellent! Donna our waitress was great as well. We'll definitely be back on a Sunday soon!

My husband and I were craving fried chicken and decided to go to The Eagle OTR. And we were not disappointed. Our fried chicken was absolutely delicious, the only issue was, we wish we had ordered more of it! We enjoyed the mashed potatoes and chicken gravy. LOVED the biscuits with the jelly and butter. And we enjoyed the cornbread. We sat outside, so loved our view! All in all -a pretty great night!!

Very dependable go to spot. When we go to Ché, its typically FC match night and even with the heavy crowd, the restaurant delivers great food and service. Tonight was non-match night so a little more relaxed. Great selection of beers on tap. The tops and brussels sprouts are great sides to go with empanadas. Aimee was the server and did a fantastic job.
