Recently, Chili’s offered complete dinner for 2 people for only $35. Who could pass up this deal?
We started off with Charred Corn Guacamole, Salsa, warm Chips and 2 Top Shelf Margaritas.

For $35 this was a deal! Delicious and priced right.
The Corner Bakery downtown at the Tabor has good food, yummy sweets, an array of drinks PLUS WiFi. We tried the fruit bowl and mini chocolate bundt cake. Nice decor, loved the lighting.

The first sign that I noticed inside The Rusty Bucket was of course one that read “Free WiFi” – that will always get my attention.
But I wasn’t there for that. I had ordered a couple of burgers and chili to go.
So I walked past the crowded bar area to get to the back where the restaurant part of The Rusty Bucket resides.
And viola!
This is the Wadsworth burger (Provolone, grilled mushrooms & onions and topped with bacon strips)
And the California burger (With provolone and avocado)
Both burgers were cooked right and very tasty.
The fries were just ok potato fries, the mashed were bland and missing gravy. The Chili had a decent kick and good flavor.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Oh, and for all you die-hard Broncos fans – The Rusty Bucket is a Pittsburgh Steelers joint.
