Food poisoning after eating chicken dishes A group of four went to eat lunch at the Rusty Rudder. Two of the four people ordered chicken dishes. A few hours after eating both people that ordered the chicken got very sick. We will never return to Rusty Rudder again after this experience. After being miserable for hours we looked up the North Carolina Public Health Inspection Scores. The Rusty Rudder recently received a score of a 91 and had violations including not properly storing foods to prevent contamination and items stored with date label exceeding 7 day hold time. We hope that by writing this review it will prevent others from getting sick. Hopefully management will evaluate their current methods for storing and preparing chicken and correct the problems so that others will not get sick. Going out to eat is usually an enjoyable experience, but the Rusty Rudder has made me think twice about eating out before checking the recent health inspection scores.

I ate there a couple of months ago and it was fine! BUT...it seems to me from the other reviews that someone who runs the place needs to get their act together. When you have this great a location it's just a shame if the food, atmosphere and staff don't measure up and that's a fault of ownership and management. If you know who owns and runs the place I sure hope they read this in time.

Wife got food poisoning after eating at this restaurant. Called the General Manager and he did not seem to care. The rusty rudder got a sanitation grade of 91% in July due to issues of locating food in area that could be cross contaminated. If the manager has shown any remorse we would not be writing this review, but I can not let my wife's night of misery go without at least an apology. I hope this review will prevent someone else from getting sick and the rusty rudder will not get anymore people sick in the future.

Food was TERRIBLE. Literally just frozen crap thrown together with zero effort. I would blame the cooks (saw them all out back smoking afterwards when we were leaving) but i know they only do as much as their manager tells them to do. Clearly no leadership here. Or pride. I guess they are happy making money off the Bud Light.

The mortgage on this place must be outrageous -we had the worst wings ever (6) and took forever two drinks $25 total plus the outside bartender was so rude she had to know somebody to get the job- ooooh- that was my last visit- this visit i sat there-enjoyed the sunset-no one approached us anyway for service-so we got what we really came for the view- do yourself a favor- DONT EAT OR DRINK THERE- SOMEONE TOLD ME THE EMPLOYEES ARE POSTING THE GOOD REVIEWS-SHAME SHAME-
