the heavier brunette bartender who is normally at the front bar is extremely rude. same with the thin blonde bartender. they act like you're troubling them by standing at the bar waiting for a drink.

This place was not very handicap equipped. Didn't stay for any food, which was very expensive. Service was hardly available.

We visited this restaurant for an event that was part of the Rehoboth Jazz Festival. Unequivocally one of worst places in Rehoboth. The food was subpar, the servers were completely disinterested and the venue is very much in need of an update. The parking situation is an insult especially after we already paid $200 for the concert tickets. To patronize this place?? Ridiculous. The show was reduced to 1 hour, last year it was 90 minutes. The bar was unavailable, last year it was open and staffed. The one bright spot was a server who went out of her way to get milk for my coffee after 2 other servers claimed that the restaurant didn't have any milk. I sincerely hope that the Rehoboth Jazz Festival organizers will consider another venue for 2026. We will not return to this establishment. This Rudder is definitely Rusty.

Typical beachside atmosphere but food not very good. You won’t find good food anywhere in Dewey Beach, but not impressed with this menu. Menu was what you’d find anywhere here but food was disappointing while prices high. Too much mayo on lobster roll and too much dressing on salad. I’d say try somewhere else but best guess, they are all the same here.

Food was best part of our experience today, maybe even a 3 and a half. Average value for the dollar. Drinks were weak, hardly tasted vodka in our vodka and tonics and tonic almost tasted like club soda. Parking is terrible, 1st 30 minutes supposed to be free than $4 an hour afterwards. We paid $8 for 62 minutes. Not happy. Probably won't be back.
Been going to the rudder over 30 years. They never disappoint!

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.

Vibes are absolutely immaculate. Massive space, lovely bartenders and great live performers. One of my favorite spots in Dewey/Rehboth area.
