Rudder's Seafood Brewery - Yarmouth

Not impressed at all! Was told this was a great place to eat so we decided to drop by for a drink and food. Short staffed when we got there, took about 15 minutes to see the waitress who was nice but very busy. We ordered 2 apps of calamari, 2 apps of coconut shrimp and an order of clams. The coconut shrimp were over cooked and were from a box, not good. The calamari showed up and it was a frozen product from a box and was so rubbery that we couldn’t eat it. The clams never showed up. I should have asked if the calamari was fresh but when your in a fishing town , you kinda expect to have fresh seafood. She said no one ever complains about the calamari which I find hard to believe. They took the calamari off our bill , and we left . Not impressed with the restaurant, heard it used to be good but looks like things have changed. Great location and very busy, too bad the food was subpar.

We went on a rainy night, so we missed out on eating on the nice deck. It was a bit warm inside, but that could be because we were seated at a table kind of tucked into a corner. We shared a starter of potato skins, they were tasty! My husband tried two different beers, the brown had a nice chocolate finish. I don't normally like a dark beer, but this one was good. I tried the sampler and my favorite was the blond. My husband had the surf and turf, the carb was delicious, the steak was not over cooked, but closer to medium than rare, still very good. I had the seafood platter. The fries were fries, I chose battered shrimp and sautéed scallops, the batter was crispy on the shrimp and the scallops were divine! Our daughter had the battered fish and fries. She found the batter to be too thin and not crispy enough, and on tasting it, I found the fish to be a bit dry.

We visited this restaurant as a part of The Cheer Trail and we are so glad we did. We came to try some beers and of course to get us some seafood. We ordered Bacon Wrapped Digby Scallops to start and were not disappointed as they were cooked to absolute perfection. We then got the lobster mac and cheese which came with ceasar salad and garlic bread. The lobster mac and cheese was cheesy, flavorful and had a good amount of lobster. The ceasar salad was perfect and the beers we tried were both delicious. I highly recommend this spot.

We come frequently to visit family in Yarmouth. We have been literally hundreds of times to this restaurant. I've never been more disappointed prices have increased incredibly and the amount of lobster in the dishes has decreased to almost nothing. The lobster mac and cheese is a newer dish on the menu so I ordered it tonight and there may have been three tiny pieces of lobster in it. A family member ordered the chowder which promised to have lots of lobster and there was one tiny piece in it. Yes the taste was good but not at this price!! I've gone from a raving fan to a disappointed one.
