After watching the health inspector get mad at the owner over and over AND OVER again, i knew this place was NOT going to be a repeat visit. Food wasn’t great, and the health inspector was NOT amused with the owner tapping a warming light to get it to turn back on because it’s faulty. Only come here if you’re constipated.

We were in town for 2020 vacation and spotted this buffet – It looked good from the outside. The first disappointment was that they ADDED 15% GRATUITY to our bill and charged us for the meals immediately as we walked in. WHAT?? This put a bad taste in our mouths right away. The food was below average, and the service was below average. We went to the Red Oak Buffet the following night (which is right next door). WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Great food, great service! Same price. Red Oak Buffet is a really outstanding buffet. I’m very sorry we ate at the Rusty Rudder.

If I could give it negative stars I would. Went here for the breakfast buffet. It was the worse food ever. I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. First of all when we got there everything was pretty empty so I told the lady so she said they will bring out fresh food. He brought out bacon and it didn’t even look cooked. The waffles were hard as a rock. The sausage, well so they say it was sausage I didn’t try cause I don’t know what it even looked like. The eggs had a funny taste. But they had hard boiled eggs and they were good. But then again the only way to mess them up is to under cook them. The French toast tasted nasty. They had no bread. So we decided to just take a loss and leave. I did tell the person there that it was horrible the worse food I ever tasted. The only thing she had to say was she was very sorry. Will never go there again

If I could I would give 0 stars!!!! This place was the most HORRIBLE restaurant that I have ever been too!!!! The food was cold, slimy and disgusting!!! The food looked old like it sat all day long! They had melted ice cream in a little freezer, when I went to get one for my 3yr old it went all over my hand! I made the hostess know because she was the only staff I saw and she stated “I know, the freezer is broke!” Then she stated they had no more in the back to give!!!! THIS PLACE MADE ME WANT TO THROW UP!!! NOT WORTH THE $67 I PAID TO FEED MY FAMILY! Also when opening the front door to enter you get bombarded by staff and they suffocate you until you order so you can’t get a good look at the food until you pay and then refuse to give you a refund when unhappy!!! This place needs SHUT DOWN!!!!!

We are not satisfied. Overly priced. Food is terrible. Very plain and no flavor. Not many options, the ones they do are not very edible. We spent almost 90 dollars for a family of 5 and not satisfied. Shrimp and crabs the had were dirty. My son said his rice was hard. There Salmon was horrible. My daughter even said her marshmallows were hard. Had to wait awhile for strawberry. And a tip should be a choice. They force you to pay the minute you walk in with 15% tip included. It’s a rip off stay away. Definitely go to Red Oak better options. Food there is actually edible. They only thing appealing there is one of the waiter’s. Don’t be fooled by the lady’s charm when you walk in. Do yourself the favor walk out and go to Red Oak. That’s a buffet.

The food was really good and well prepared with a great selection. The staff members were very attentive and friendly, always with a smile. I recommend the omelets for breakfast fresh made in front of you by a girl who looks like a model. I loved the mussels and salmon for dinner – the shrimp was great too. This is my 3rd year I’ve come back here and I’ve come here for breakfast and dinner. It is very convenient to the boardwalk and beach. I highly recommend them and will come back in the future.

The sign out side of the restaurant stated $12.99 for an all you can buffet. Upon walking into the restaurant, we were nicely greeted by 2 woman. As they walked us towards cash register,they proceeded to tell us about all the food we had to choose from. Everything from fresh salad , roast beef,pork, chicken, a lot of seafood ,desert,etc. My husband & I thought that was great,especially for the price. Well,the food was less than mediocre & the price was NOT $12.99 per person! They added on an additional 15% for gratuity! I would completely understand if it was for a larger party, but it was only myself & my husband! I will NEVER go back! Total waste of money

The food was great. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They took care of my family and I very well. It was nothing but good vibes and laugh. The servers were extremely good looking. They need to be signed up for a modeling agency, not work for a restaurant. Overall, great experience and deff recommend to anyone passing through.

I wish I read the reviews before I ate here (I usually do). This is far by the worst Buffet I ever had. This can’t be by the Chinese?? Anyway all the food I ate was too much gease/butter/margarine. The crabs were really cold. Who serves cold crabs! They should of been hot and straight from the steamer. Thank GOD I didn’t have to pay for my child. And they have the nerve to charge gratuity. Also I didn’t like the price wasn’t what their flyer said. The only thing that was fresh and good to eat was the fried shrimp, only because I caught the batch they just put out. TO MANAGEMENT :Hire better cooks! And make sure the crabs are HOT

DO NOT EAT HERE. The food was so bad they managed to mess up Mac and cheese and box made cake. For $15 per adult and $8 a kid it’s not even worth the money. The food was so bad my family felt sick and had to lay in the hotel beds for 1.5 hours before we felt decent enough to go on the rides at Morey’s Piers. The roast beef was sitting out in the open for what looked to be hours if not days and the ribs had almost no meat on them. Overall if you decide to go eat here I’m warning you to expect very little. But if you have to money to eat her you might as well go to someplace else on the board walk like Mack’s Pizza as we got a whole pizza made as we walked in for $25-$30 with drinks half of what we paid after the included 15% service tax at the Rusty Rudder. Then they wondered why the place full of tables were almost entirely empty. In all honesty if a 0 star rating or below was possible it would earn at least that as it is the worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life, infact I’d rather have peanut butter then their food and in allergic to peanut butter.
