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.

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.

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.
We chose to eat outside and it was really too windy - stuff kept blowing off the table. Music was a bit loud so having conversations was a challenge. The menus seemed very outdated. The food was good tho.

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.

Expensive. There is no free parking even at the restaurant. No happy hour. With so many great restaurants nearby don't waste your money on this one.

I come by with my service dog and was turned away. I was told they do not allow animals and yet I read they were Animal pet friendly, apparently that was wrong. I’m surprised this establishment does not allow service dogs.
