    We went on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so a quiet night. The waiter was great and the starter soup was great, but unfortunately they served me an unfresh piece of mahi mahi and I was sick all night. For such a premium restaurant, they should know better.

    First time dining at Rusty Scupper and it was a great experience. It’s a beautiful restaurant on the water and it was decorated for the holidays. My husband ordered a custom surf and turf and I had the mahi. Both dishes were well prepared and delicious. Although it is pricey, it’s definitely worth it especially for a special occasion.

    Excellent service! I wish I could remember our waiter's name. He was fairly new - just moved here from GA, but was so nice and made great recommendations. The food was exceptional. We had the small raw bar tower, the cream of crab soup (amazing), I had the bay scallops - which were perfectly cooked, and my husband had the ribeye and lobster - also perfectly cooked. We wished we had room for dessert, but we're actually sharing the steak for lunch today because we were so full. Beautiful harbor views, good music (and not too loud). Glad we chose this for dinner after our show!

    We ordered wine to come with our entrees. The entrees arrived and the server realized that he had not coordinated the wine. It was only then that he discovered that the bottle of wine we ordered was not in stock. Ten minutes after we began eating, he broke the news and asked for an alternative. Our meal was over $100/per person (party of 4). What was otherwise good service was marginalized by this failure.

    4 of us Dined Thanksgiving 2023 at Rusty Scupper Baltimore. This is our 3 rd time in a row. It's become a Tradition now and as usual it was Fantastic. Rusty Scupper does not disappoint. They had all the traditional Thanksgiving items on the hot, fresh buffet and a Great meat and dessert section. My friends said the Turkey was moist and flavorful & I absolutely loved the Beef and Ham. Especially that Delicious Ham😋 They also had Oysters, shrimp, & Clams! Everyone loved the Decadent Double chocolate brownies, chocolate chip cookies, sweet potato, pumpkin, apple,butter pecan pies! Also yummy Bread pudding with caramel! There was all kinds of puddings & sweets too many to name here. Our waiter was fantastic. She even went to find Cranberry sauce & brought it to our table because we didn't see any. We will definitely be back next year! Thanks Rusty Scupper ❤️

    Way over priced. Honestly, the holiday mark up is not worth coming. It is a nice buffet for NON-Holiday. The reduced food selection was a surprise. We have been coming to Rusty Scupper for years, but won’t do it again.

    Having frequented The Rusty Scupper for past Thanksgivings, this year's experience left me less than impressed. Not only did they increase prices since last year, but they also made cuts to the buffet offerings. The overall dining experience felt like a nickel-and-dime affair with additional charges for parking and an obligatory 18% gratuity. When factoring in the buffet, tax, gratuity, parking, and non-alcoholic beverages, the total per person amounted to $111. Sadly, these changes may lead us to explore alternative Thanksgiving venues next year.

    Beautiful and bountiful buffet for Thanksgiving with plenty of well prepared dishes. The meats at tge carving station were a little dried out this year. The side dishes were wonderful and the buffet main dishes were wonderful as well. Rusty Scupper makes the best bread pudding I have ever had! The noise level was high and one table near us was way too noisy and irritating! A great feast!

    Dante, our server to a great job. Thank you. We reserved a window for our 30 year first date anniversary, which happen to be at the Rusty Scupper. We made reservations on a Wed for Sunday evening. I put that in the notes. Little disappointed we did not get a window seat. There were seats available. We were put at table for 6 and there were only 2 of us. Little taken back with the seating placement. Just wish they could have accommodated our request, for a special evening. Take care, Mike Marcus. Other than that, you can never go wrong with the Scupper.

    Rusty Scupper - BaltimoreResponded 4 days ago

    Thank you Mike for celebrating your 30-year first date anniversary with us, and we're honored you chose Rusty Scupper for such a special occasion. We appreciate your kind words about Dante's service. However, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the seating arrangement not meeting your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will address this internally to ensure better communication and accommodation in the future. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you on your next visit.

    Service was good but I guess because we got there about an hour before it closed the food wasn’t what we thought it would be. Some of our food was cold and by the time we got our food if we wanted to order something else it was too late because three kitchen was closed. But the service and drinks were pretty good.

    This was my first time at the restaurant. We arrived for brunch right on time I especially love the way that they did not make me wait for my date to park the car before they seated me. Sometimes this can be very inconvenient. I loved the musical entertainment. The food was amazing! Our seat had a great view of the harbor in the boats outside. I will definitely be back.

    Arguably one of the best views in the city from a dinner table. The smooth and easy music added to the relaxed setting. Extremely pleasant and professional server that was just as attentive to details as she was to patron satisfaction. And then there was the food, which was fresh, well prepared, and tasty; while the cream of crab soup needed some Old Bay seasoning to jazz it up (the server kindly accommodated the request), the "Maryland Style" salmon, collard greens, and seasonal vegetables were all impressive. From the guests at the table with me, I understand that the butter cake and crème brûlée were great choices for dessert.

    Perfect spot to enjoy the view of Baltimore’s beautiful harbor. Traditional seafood dishes hit the mark, and are worthy of a special occasion. The decor and ambiance, the music and the food all warrant a visit for a Date Night to a Family Celebrations. I definitely recommend.
