Reviews for The Rusty Rudder - Mt. Pleasant in Mt Pleasant, SC

The atmosphere is awesome. Plenty of outdoor space and live music, which always is a plus. The food was alright. I wasn't... impressed with the fried shrimp at all. I feel like it was from one of those frozen bags you get from the store...The other foodat the table was very good! The service we received was pretty awful. We couldn't find our waitress for close to an hour tobring our check. I would go back for sure, but just order something different. Hoping for a better experience the second timearound. Read more

Great food, great beer, and fun atmosphere. Loved the outdoor patio and live music. The patio is dog friendly as well!

Unfortunately, the last few meals I?ve had here have been disappointing. As a convenient spot to go for lunch and dinner I?m... not sure that my family will ever return. This and our last visit were not good. Today, i ordered my go-to (the Charleston HotChicken sandwich). It was very rubbery and dry. Photo attached shows how much I had to fight with it to tear the chicken. For a$13 lunch (chicken sandwich, fries and free water) it wasn?t good. I informed the waiter and he said he would let the kitchenknow...and that?s it. The prior visit i came with my family for dinner and dinner was extremely slow. To the point the managerapologized (didn't offer to do anything as a gesture of appreciation for our patience). Dinner took almost 2 hours on a randomTuesday night (only had dinner, no apps or desserts)... we ended up boxing up most of it and having to eat at home because ourlittle boy needed to go to bed. Also, 3 of the 6 items we ordered were not available. They were waiting on a truck. In yearspast I?ve eaten here regularly and brought many friends... I feel like something has changed (and it?s going down hill). Foodisn?t as good and prices seem more. On a positive note, the servers are friendly and the dining room is clean. Read more

The cocktail we all ordered because it looked the best, was not available any more. The second option we liked, they had ran out... of the main ingredients. Two things from their menu were also not available. It was only 7:15PM!!! when the food finally came,it was all too spicy, no other flavors. I don't often give bad feedback on places, but truly, nothing was good. And even theservice was suboptimal. It surprises me that it was packed. Disappointing. Read more

I've been twice and the food was excellent both times. Rumored to make everything fresh on premises it does take a bit longer... to get your food. However, it worth the wait. The service was 50/50. The waitress missed refilling our drinks a couple of timesand got a sauce for one of us wrong. She didn't write anything down, just tried to remember our order. Will go back despitethis. Read more
