The Rusty Rudder - Mt. Pleasant

Nice restaurant we found driving South. Stopped in and had a Great dinner with very friendly helpful waitress . Also they had life music on the patio, looked busy.

Burned ends-pork belly with homemade chips! Drank a Blood orange moonshine cocktail w ginger beer. Both were amazing and live music out back was a great way to spend a Sunday night.

Nice place, they close at 9pm in the fall and still served us at 8:45 did not leave until 10:30 and still very very nice, great service, food is very tasty so good can be spicy,will definitely go back for sure

M.O.A.B.!!!! Mother of all burgers lives here! Get the Rudder Melt and you’ll be smitten with delight. First, we had the calamari and the hot crab dip and both were solid. I’ve always been a fan of lightly fried calamari with wasabi aioli drizzled on top. I ordered the Rudder Melt burger medium rare as I do with all of my burgers and this was medium rare nirvana!! See the picture but I hope you get to experience it in person like I did. The Texas thick toast was crispy, flaky and a true OMG experience. To make this a true five star worthy experience, the Mac n cheese flavor and side portion (sandwiches come with one side) was a revitalizing experience. It was a hearty portion size that would make any southerner proud. I also had some of the brussel sprouts and they were darn good! The portions were great and the flavors matched it. Absolutely worth the visit if in the area and my service experience was good too.

We stopped in for lunch. Lunch special was 1/2 price classic burgers so that's what we went with! Burger was great and I got a side of Mac and cheese (which is THE BEST) and my husband got fries. Great meal for a great price!

The cup of Brunswick soup was okay. Tried my husbands fried green tomatoes topped with pimento & cheese and bacon jam. That was actually pretty good and I normally hate pimento & cheese. I swear an order of smoked meat loaf could be split, perhaps even divided by 3. Very good didn’t even mind the cheese grits. The live music was okay, nothing I would buy tickets to listen to, but fine for dining. My favorite is the bacon jam. Dessert was the homemade chocolate swiss roll with blackberry whipped filling. My only complaint was that I was freezing, due to the door to back outside patio was opened so many times by smokers.

Very great food. It will put you in a food coma, so be prepared! I had the hot chicken Mac, great dish for sure. I recommend it! The vibe is good. I especially like the large outdoor area they have. This place is dog friendly

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 times and got a sauce for one of us wrong. She didn't write anything down, just tried to remember our order. Will go back despite this.
