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.

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!

Food is awful. Nasty. Everything ordered came out lukewarm at best. Cheese?? Not melted on any of the dishes with said ingredient. Absolutely awful!! Mac and cheese? Flavorless. Plastic cheese just laid atop of boiled elbow pasta. The same cheese deal with the crab (and artichoke?) dip. The dip was really thick. Nasty. I also ordered the flounder dish. tiny portion and nasty! The flounder dish was about $40, I believe. The picture on their menu looked large and tasty. So deceiving. Look at the leftover pics posted of the dip and fish. I also ordered cream of crab soup to go. About $14, I think. That wasn’t so bad, but definitely not worth more than $7-10. I had a frozen drink. NASTY! Tasted like blended ice with a hint of liquor and watermelon. Not at all what i was hoping for. The server was a young teen. He did well for the amount of tables he was juggling. I gave him an appropriate tip. Ended up spending $115 for just myself on the day i visited this establishment. I will never again visit this establishment ever again!

Good food and drinks. The live music was nice, and they seem to have a great bar scene. You can’t beat having a drink here at sunset. The view was amazing.
It was busy and we were told a 40 min wait. We were seated after 10 min! It was a much longer wait for our meals, but it could of just been super busy. It’s still worth a try.

We went there for lunch on St. Patrick’s weekend (Saturday). It was a bustling place with great live music in the background as we dined in the restaurant. We shared a light lunch of an order of Pretzel Nuggets and Buffalo Chicken Wings. The pretzels with the mustard sauce were phenomenal. The wings had great flavor however I wasn’t a fan of the prepared style. They don’t have draft beer which is surprising but I indulged in a 12 oz can of Wicked Weed Pernicious IPA. I thought the pretzels ($11) were priced appropriately, the wings ($17) were priced somewhat steep as I believe there were only 8, the IPA was very high priced at I believe $9. Overall it was a great experience being Bayfront.

I can only comment on the night life as I did not come here for food. We came on a Saturday night for drinks and live music and the Rusty Rudder did not disappoint. Beers/seltzers were about $9 a piece. The staff were great. There are multiple bars at this location, live music on the back patio and DJ inside, overall, would come again for the night life and recommend if you’re looking for a great time and great music. Also Stealing Savannah was awesome, catch them at other venues in the area (DC, VA, Maryland as well)

We came here because of the DJ. We were gonna grab food and drinks before hand. I wouldn’t come back to eat. My tacos were 23.50 for 2 and I don’t think worth it at all. The DJ and atmosphere was amazing. They also had a live band that was really good!
