The Rusty Bucket BBQ and Tavern — Restaurant in Texas

After all the advertising on the radio we were definitely looking forward to trying a new restaurant here in Midland. Upon entering the restaurant the sign on the door clearly stated to remove your mask before entering the restaurant. During a pandemic this definitely was concerning. No staff had masks on.

If we hadn't bought the tickets to watch the concert we would have left. I used to be a server/bartender and would never treat anyone the way they made us feel. Needless to say we...
