Great place highly recommend
Amazing music from Hendersonville local duo last night . Jenn and J Kyle Reynolds did a great first show at the Rudder on Saturday night. Loved the entire experience at the Rudder!
My family and I eat here at least twice a month.. and I have to say service isn’t always amazing(not bad just not amazing). However we had Sooner as our server last night and she was the best server I have had in a long time. NEVER have my kids been brought ice cream when ordering off the kids menu… didn’t even realize that was a thing. She made sure my kids got it. She was on top of clearing the table.

The Rudder is a popular restaurant located by the lake, offering good service, delicious food and drinks. It has a great atmosphere, with the chance to see fish, ducks, and turtles while waiting for a table, which can be long during busy times. However, the amazing food and beautiful surroundings make the wait worthwhile, especially during less crowded periods. Customers often enjoy sitting lakeside, where they can watch fish and even see turtles swim up to visit while they eat. The menu is smaller but offers great choices like Hot crab dip, fried pickle chips, fried catfish, and French dip, all enjoyed by diners. The place gets crowded on sunny days but provides good beer, good food, and good service. If tables are full, sitting at the bar is always an option. While some feel there is a slight smell of cleaning fluid at times, the overall atmosphere remains enjoyable. The staff, including the team working on busy days, are friendly and welcoming, making each visit pleasant.
