Rusty Rudder

This restaurant was super convenient (next to our hotel). There’s a hostess, kinda slow, there’s a bar and tables on a large deck by the water(great view). There are a few steps with railings, but also a ramp. We sat on the deck. The server was nice, but service was slow both times we are there. We had the $30 calamari thing. It looks great, but not worth $30. The calamari is yummy, but it’s mostly fries beneath a layer of calamari, so it was a disappointment. The flat bread was delicious. When we were still eating(after 8pm, the staff started loudly moving tables and chairs, implying we needed to go(plus it wasn’t enjoyable). We were ready for our check, but our server disappeared for over 10 minutes. Overall, great location, good food, slow service. Great live music.

The Rusty Rudder is a must if you’re hungry and in the mood for live music. The food was really good—especially the fried calamari, which they serve in a giant martini glass that definitely grabs your attention. The flatbread white pizza was excellent, with just the right touch of red pepper flakes, and the wings were also solid. Service was attentive throughout. The only downside was the mixed drinks, which at first were a little light on alcohol, but once I mentioned it to our waitress, it was quickly corrected. Overall, a fun spot with good food and energy. Give them a try—you decide! 🤔

The bartenders were amazing. The food was okay. The fish isn’t fresh and the oil they used was definitely old. I asked if it was fresh and he said yes. That is why I ordered what I ordered. It came out dark and real greasy. The fruit platter was huge and delicious. The flatbread was good. The tortilla chips were stale. Not sure why they would serve them. The server was very laid back, nice but needed a reminder of why he was there. He had to be flagged down and it wasn’t busy. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Great music.

I mean, this is not high cuisine, it is okay, come on… people complaining should go somewhere else. It is the perfect spot to chill out with friends, have a couple drinks and they have the perfect spot to watch the sunset! (I didn’t take pictures of my main meal but I tried the crab leg one wrapped on Flounder fish, with a side of potatoes and veggies, healthy and delicious option… the fried calamari were average tho)

Awesome food. Excellent service by Shae. Highly recommend the shareable calamari but be prepared to bring your appetite and share with more than 2 people or you will have leftovers. The shrimp salad sandwich had a very tasty seasoning and the crab imperial was full of jumbo lump crabmeat. We sat outside on the patio and listened to live music on the deck. They also have an indoor dance floor with DJ. Check out the schedule on their website. Come for the food, stay for the fun - you won’t be disappointed!
