Two of us arrived for lunch on a Saturday and the place was relatively empty. We were seated outside on the patio and were lucky enough to see a pair of bald eagles flying around!
Our server was friendly, but just a little slow. We weren’t in any hurry so it didn’t bother us.
I had the haddock meal with rice and carrots and overall it was very tasty.
It was a nice place to stop!

So happy we stopped in here for a late lunch. It is such a cozy environment and the staff are all super friendly!
The food was DELICIOUS and so fresh. We started with the French onion soup which was savory, and had great flavor. I also got the baked haddock which was one of the best haddock dishes that I’ve ever had. It was a beautiful, big piece of fish, cooked perfectly and the bread topping was buttery and absolutely mouth watering. The whole plate was divine.
My boyfriend got the Mac and cheese which was a generous portion of cavatappi pasta in a rich, decadent, cheese sauce that was sooo good!
Our server Joanne was absolutely lovely and the prices were beyond reasonable for the portions (which were all generous). We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Can’t wait to come back again!

This place has a beautiful view of the water. We dined outside on a perfect day. Ordered drinks that were great. Blueberry-pomegranate mamosa and a mulled cider.
Appetizer was fried calamari. While tasty, the house sausage was very vinegary and the breading didn’t stick well.
We had the New England Clam Chowder which was amazing. Superb. As a Maine native, I was happily impressed.
The Maine course was Fried Haddock Caesar Wrap and the house Rudder Burger. The wrap was phenomenal and while the onion rings on my burger we’re by far the best onion rings I have ever had, the burger was unfortunately a disappointment. I ordered my burger medium edging on medium rare. What I got was a practically inedible extremely well done burger.
Normally something like this would cause me to bring the rating down to three or four stars, but our waiter was amazing and took care of it immediately taking the order off the bill completely. He was polite and attentive and never came to the table to ask any questions while we were eating. One of the better waiters that I have ever been served by.
Muddy Rudder, aside from the food your server, Jordon, is worth his weight in gold. He deserves a big thank you from his manager.
We will be back to eat again. We had a great time.

Our waiter, John, was on point. Attentive, pleasant, and responsive. The food was very good, and the blueberry pie was an added treat. Great view, even on a rainy afternoon. Well done.

This place is the homey 5 star place you need in your life. From the wonderful bartender, Tina to the truly delicious food, we were so pleasantly surprised by every bit of our experience. Not going to lie, we thought this place may be an overrun tourist spot that resulted in lost quality of food, but boy were we wrong. The prices also can’t be beat!
We got the Rudder chips which surprised us both with the delicious Parmesan cream sauce. We followed that with a side Caesar salad. The salad had homemade dressing, big Parmesan flakes and perfectly toasted croutons- truly, the kind you can puncture without crumble.
My husband got the seafood stuffed haddock. He said the haddock was so fresh and delicious, and had full shrimp!
I had the Asian Crusted Chicken Sandwich which was literal perfection. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the bread was perfectly buttered and toasted and the sandwich had the exact kick you would want.
Last, we had the Muddy Marquis and boy does it just finalize that this place is unsuspecting! Both my husband and I took our first bite and audibly said “wow.”

Awesome food and amazing menu choices! For the kids try their home brew soda….
As for the food the seafood pasta was excellent and be sure to add the extra lobater to your lobster bisque. Seafood cakes rocked!! Baked haddock was good.
Minutes off the hwy. We will return in 2023. Tina was awesome server

We liked the lobster bisque here. My partner ordered the Fisherman’s Platter and it was huge. Very fried, which was expected. The rolls were amazing too, and worth the price. Order one serving per person (if you like warm rolls and sweet butter). The waitress was so nice and knew a lot about the menu.

It was delicious. They’re short staffed right now (like all of the restaurant industry). The food was top notch, really nice ambiance and friendly service. Ordered off menu take out & enjoyed the view from the patio – Love the setting !
