Rusty Rudder Restaurant

"After watching the health inspector get mad at the owner over and over AND OVER again, i knew this place was NOT going to be a repeat visit. Food wasn't great, and the health inspector was NOT amused with the owner tapping a warming light to get it to turn back on because it's faulty. Only come here if you're constipated."

"We were in town for 2020 vacation and spotted this buffet - It looked good from the outside. The first disappointment was that they ADDED 15% GRATUITY to our bill and charged us for the meals immediately as we walked in. WHAT?? This put a bad taste in our mouths right away. The food was below average, and the service was below average. We went to the Red Oak Buffet the following night (which is right next door). WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Great food, great service! Same price. Red Oak Buffet is a really outstanding buffet. I'm very sorry we ate at the Rusty Rudder."

"If I could give it negative stars I would. Went here for the breakfast buffet. It was the worse food ever. I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. First of all when we got there everything was pretty empty so I told the lady so she said they will bring out fresh food. He brought out bacon and it didn’t even look cooked. The waffles were hard as a rock. The sausage, well so they say it was sausage I didn’t try cause I don’t know what it even looked like. The eggs had a funny taste. But they had hard boiled eggs and they were good. But then again the only way to mess them up is to under cook them. The French toast tasted nasty. They had no bread. So we decided to just take a loss and leave. I did tell the person there that it was horrible the worse food I ever tasted. The only thing she had to say was she was very sorry. Will never go there again"

"We are not satisfied. Overly priced. Food is terrible. Very plain and no flavor. Not many options, the ones they do are not very edible. We spent almost 90 dollars for a family of 5 and not satisfied. Shrimp and crabs the had were dirty. My son said his rice was hard. There Salmon was horrible. My daughter even said her marshmallows were hard. Had to wait awhile for strawberry. And a tip should be a choice. They force you to pay the minute you walk in with 15% tip included. It's a rip off stay away. Definitely go to Red Oak better options. Food there is actually edible. They only thing appealing there is one of the waiter's. Don't be fooled by the lady's charm when you walk in. Do yourself the favor walk out and go to Red Oak. That's a buffet."

"The food was really good and well prepared with a great selection. The staff members were very attentive and friendly, always with a smile. I recommend the omelets for breakfast fresh made in front of you by a girl who looks like a model. I loved the mussels and salmon for dinner - the shrimp was great too. This is my 3rd year I've come back here and I've come here for breakfast and dinner. It is very convenient to the boardwalk and beach. I highly recommend them and will come back in the future."
