   Party of 6 arrived 5:45 with reservation seated immediately to a set table. The waitress tried hard but seemed ill equipped to handle our party and other tables. She reported “having a melt down” and appeared to have been crying. The managers filled in when the waitress disappeared at our request but didn’t seem to know she had left the floor before that. It’s a difficult time to find trained help and this was just another example. We will definitely be going back. We have been there many times in the past and never experienced this kind of service. The food complaints were: the Cole slaw looked a bit discolored in places, some of the food was not hot hot but was edible, too much pasta but the sauce was tasty and chicken very tender, steak tips ok but would not order again, ordered grilled salmon got blackened but it was cooked appropriately. One dessert came out the waitress disappeared and we waited another 20 min for the rest to be served. Ice cream melted.

   We both had the seared scallops with gnocchi and as usual it was an excellent meal. The scallops were a generous size and cooked perfectly -- and paired with the gnocchi and cream sauce it was a wonderful meal. For the price of the entree however we'd suggest a slightly larger portion of gnocchi. We'd also like to see a return of the bread basket -- a somewhat unique offering with the sweet butter that we always looked forward to with our meals at Muddy Rudder.

   First off we asked for a high top in the bar area, didn’t get it. No big deal. Service was awful. Took forever to get our drink order. Waitress disappeared after delivering the drinks. Ordered an app. and it was delicious. Asked the waitress for some dinner rolls and was told they no longer service them. It wasn’t all that busy, not sure why service was so slow.

   Used to be an upscale place, not any longer. We were not offered any water or traditional bread plate. Food was good, but on a heavy side. Drinks were ok. No tablecloth, no more live piano. There are TVs on if you would prefer to watch a game on a date. Do not think we would be going back any time soon.

    Seared scallop dinner was outstanding and together with the white wine special it was a great dinner and good value. Only disappointment was the absence of the bread basket with the sweet butter; please bring it back!!

    The French onion soup was as tasteless. My son’s Mac and cheese was equally flavorless. They stopped serving rolls altogether. Very disappointing meal, especially for the price.

    For a town like Yarmouth the Muddy Rudder is a great place to have a nice night out. Went on a date with my girlfriend there on a date night and had a good time. Food was good but maybe a little overpriced, that wouldn’t keep me from going back again though. I was met at the door by a nice host and brought to the table, the waitress didn’t seemed thrilled but still treated us very well and respectfully. All and all good night.

    We had reservations but still had to wait for our table, so that was a bit disappointing. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive. The meal was good, but we have had better there in the past. Cocktails were good. My wife was very pleased with her meal. Mine could have been better. I had the fisherman's platter and the clams were overcooked.

    Customer 20+ years. Not what used to be. Supplemental sheet advisory about new inflated prices. Owners don’t even produce new menus. Legendary rolls no more. Waitstaff said management trying to save on butter. Rolls could be an option for couple bucks. Then they could sell the butter pats on an each piece basis.

    I thought this was at best a step above fast food and service was slow. The lobster roll did not compare to what I had at J’s in Portland.

    Our experience was very good but we were disappointed that our baked stuffed lobsters were not properly cleaned out with the green inner belly area contaminating the delicious stuffing. This was after asking our server to make sure proper cleaning was done. Service was great and the view from our table very nice. Prices were as expected when compared to other places in the area.

    This was our first time at the Muddy Rudder. It was a quaint restaurant with a full bar, dining area, outdoor seating and event room. Waitress was friendly and experienced. Large portions. Food was delicious. My husband ordered fish n chips and I had steak tips. This is primarily seafood with a handful of other entrees. Full wine and drink menu. Reasonably priced for portions and types of food. Highly recommend.

    Best place in Freeport / Yarmouth. We went back three times in a week, once with large group (22) and twice with small group (4 and 6); it was equally enjoyable each visit. Large menu so even on returning there were plenty of great selections. Wonderful service; great piano player; very accommodating of children.
