From the food, to the ambiance, to the service, down to the simple decor letting beautiful downtown BMore shine through the windows. Everything was perfection. Jackie our AMAZING server was the cherry on top! Great calamari, creamy crab filled cream of crab soup; Chilean sea bass Maryland style... BABY!! Buttery, blackened silky fish with crab meat and perfectly roasted hearty veggies. My hubby had an excellent crab fettuccine and we added more seafood (excellent suggestion made by Jackie) We closed our experience with crème brûlée. Perfect sweetness and creamy filling and caramel top was not burned nor overwhelming. They were attentive yet not overbearing. Cannot wait to return. Worth every penny. read more

Th restaurant was beautiful, great service, great food. I'm sure they are losing business as when I arrived at the parking gate it was pitch black, the people in front of me tuned about and left. As I pulled up closer,it looked inoperable so I too turned and left. Some friends told me to go back, I did, it was very dark but I managed to read push the green button,( which was red). Please RUSTY, install a light out there. read more

When checking in at the Renaissance, it was recommended we dine at Rusty Scupper Restaurant instead of where we were going. So we put on our not so winter gear and walked in the 24 degree weather in hopes this dinner was going to be good. Dinner was amazingly delicious. We also started with the crab dip with toasted bread that was scrumptious. The atmosphere looking out into the harbor was nice during the day, however, when the sun went down WOW! Our waitress, Jackie, was the best! Her personality was very energetic and affable. She gave us great recommendations and was very attentive to us and her other tables. By the time we left I'm sure I invited her to our daughter's wedding #BigSisJackie Thank you for making our night even more pleasurable! See you soon! read more

This restaurant has the absolute best views of the Inner Harbor. I have been to this brunch frequently so you definitely need to reserve your table in advance for 1030am or 1pm seating. The parking lot is right outside the restaurant which has a small fee. This brunch is definitely top notch with bottomless sangria, Bellini & mimosa. The have a live band that play soft music. The buffet is packed with fruits, salads, cheeses, sausage biscuits gravy, sausages, French toast, Mac and cheese, home fries, salmon etc. The waffle bar has strawberries, chocolate chip and blue berries topping and whip cream. The raw bar with oyster on a half shelves along with craving meat station. The omelette station has everything and I mean everything for the perfect omelette. Oh, The desert bar has it all however, I am never able to fit it in my stomach. Oh Yessss, I am most definitely returning to entire the restaurant and the outdoor activities as well. read more

My first time in Baltimore. This is a nice place to have a romantic, family or friends gathering. There are several choices. I have lots of allergies so my choices were limited. However, the atmosphere was warm n welcoming. My favorite was the bread pudding with butterscotch sauce. I would definitely come back. read more

Rusty Scupper - Beautiful view - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

While visiting the Inner Harbor with my wife and daughter this past weekend, we had dinner at the Rusty Scupper on Saturday night. This iconic restaurant has been there for 37 years! I remember seeing it often while dining on the other side of the harbor. It's location is great, with beautiful views while eating. The food was excellent! We started with a plate of oysters and a crab cake. These were both a huge hit. Also, I can't forget the bread on the table came with an amazing dip. For entrees, I had blackened swordfish, my wife had shrimp stuffed with crabmeat, and my daughter had blackened salmon. We all really enjoyed the meals. The garlic mashed potatoes were outstanding! Only reason I didn't go 5 stars is because I found the prices extraordinarily high. The food and ambiance was excellent, could just cost slightly less. read more

Rusty Scupper - The beautiful Inner Harbor! - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Enjoyed a nice dinner here over the weekend. The name doesn't exactly match the type of restaurant that this is. Definitely more of a classier seafood restaurant. I definitely recommend making a reservation because the views of the Inner Harbor are unmatched! The bread service came accompanied with an aioli house sauce that was incredible. I never thought to dunk bread into an aioli sauce but I wish every place did this. It was a garlicky sauce with elements of roasted red pepper and almond, so be warned of you have nut allergies! I ordered the daiquiri colada for my drink and my oh my was this tasty. It felt like I was drinking a smoothie. So fruity and tropical. Nice that they have frozen cocktails here, made the experience more fun to me. For dinner I had the 7 Oz filet mignon and added a lobster tail. The steak was delicious but didn't completely blow me away. Charred at the top and oh so tender. Mashed potatoes were whipped to perfection and perfectly buttery. I don't normally order lobster tails so I can't compare to much but I found it to be really good and I overheard a person at a neighboring table say the same thing. My boyfriend got the Spicy Lump Crab Fettuccine. Surprisingly, the unique blend of flavors with the mint, jalapeños, lemon and cream sauce went together very nicely! We loved this place and thought the views of the Inner Harbor were the icing on the cake. Come early to your reservation if you'd like to request a window seat. The next time we return to Baltimore, we would love to come back! read more

This place was fantastic! The food was delicious, flavorful, and filling. The scallops were melt-in-your-mouth soft, the crab-stuffed shrimp were succulent, and the shrimp and grits were tasty (although a little too heavy/creamy at the end). The complimentary bread was perfect and I loved the butter and spicy crab dip. The wood-paneled ambience and views are great. For parking, they have a parking garage and validate parking, and you can leave your car there until 11 pm if you want to stroll around. My one annoyance is a server that was too attentive and kept interrupting our conversation, but other than that, I highly recommend this place. read more

Let me start by saying I have never heard of this place before and I used to live in B-More...shaking my darn head... Since we were in the area we called and made reservations and BAMN...we were in there. Anywho the place sits right on the harbor! When I made the reservation I requested a table by the window and the host informed me that he would try to accommodate my request. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but they were able to seat us promptly. The atmosphere was nice and the food was very tastey as well read more

All I can say is GO THERE NEOOOWWWWWW. I dreamt of the shrimp n grits in my sleep. I'll travel 5 hours for another order of that!!! The crab soup AMAZING!!!!! Shrimp po boy AMAZING!!! The staff AMAZING! Location ambiance 10/10. I forgot my waitress name, but she's a beautiful ebullient southern bell army brat. She's great at her job, with a great personality, and I hope to see her my next visit. read more

The place was packed when I went on a Saturday night. I found the food just OK, and pretty pricey.

I decided to take my mom to brunch for Mother's Day and we had a great time. She loved the table we were seated at because we had an amazing view of the water. Our waiter Mark was so attentive and kept the drinks flowing for us! The food selection was fantastic and I loved how the restaurant made sure they had staff keeping everything tidy. With an influx of patrons on Mother's Day you know things can get a little crazy but you can tell they had a system in place and everything ran seamlessly. We had such a great experience I can't wait to return and maybe try dinner! Thanks Rusty Scupper! read more

So I was invited out for my birthday to Rusty Scupper's brunch. Which i had been told is something I have to experience. So I take them on the offer & agreed to attend. Now when I got here it took me 15 minutes to get into the parking lot to park it was that many people attending the brunch. Once I found a spot I headed in for an amazing time. The brunch is a Sunday special that costs $58 a person. But it comes with unlimited mimosas and a huge variety of food to choose from. The biggest plus of the brunch is you get the pleasure of a live jazz band to entertain you while you enjoy the large selection of food options you are greeted with. I've added the ones that were hands down my favorite the oysters, roast beef, honey roasted turkey, & omelette (which you tell them what you want in it) where to die for. It wasn't limit portions like some brunches I've attended. Plus the service was amazing the waiters were constantly right there to remove the plates once you were finish & quickly give you refills. But the major selling point is you're blessed with an amazing view of the harbor while you're dining. The view alone ups the romantic mood of the dining. Trust me when i tell you this will be one of the best $60 you'll ever send read more

Rusty Scupper is Red Lobster with table linen. And that's no shade to Red Lobster. At least they have the cheddar bay biscuits. Made reservations for Mother's Day with no issue. This place wasn't my first choice but it was available. So here I am. With a very limited menu. I ordered a Caesar salad with a side of crab meat. For the side of crab meat to be $13 I'm thinking I'm getting a good portion of meat. Y'all. My crab came out in one of those little bowls that you put ketchup in. Disappointment is an understatement. My family was meh about their food. We made the best of it as the day was all about my mama for Mother's Day. Beautiful day view though. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in my life! I've been told by friends to visit the Rusty Scupper for years but I hardly go to Baltimore so I kept it in the back of my mind. In need of a nice place to go for my birthday dinner, my fiancé took me here and man am I glad she did. My waitress was awesome and sold me on a new menu item they had, fried whole fish with rice and veggies and man, that was the best fish entree I've ever had in my life. My fiancé enjoyed her dish as well. From management - that came to our table to check on us, to the Irish coffee, to the complimentary cheesecake they gave me for my bday, to the incredible view of the water that we got to enjoy while we ate, Rusty Scupper is the real deal and definitely made a believer out of me. read more

My Daughter Graduated from Towson University this past May 2024 and wanted to have her Graduation Celebration at the Rusty Scupper and well the service and meal basically sub standard. I did send out an email as suggested by the owners and was told to look for a Gift Card or Certificate so we could come in again and try a redo but that was months ago still have seen nothing. It's really quite disappointing. My Son Graduates this Dec from Towson my guess is we won't be heading back to the Rusty Scupper read more

Location and ambience is great. Service was spotty - had two servers. . . .teh experienced one was excellent (name was Ben). The new guy was so so. . .long drink waits, forgot cocktail sauce, slow with water, etc. We had calamari (good), oysters (good, but overpriced), wedge salad (good), tuna carpaccio (bad), salmon (so, so), crab cakes (below average). Drinks were good. Bottom line - go for a drink and appetizer to enjoy the view.. . . . grab dinner somewhere else. read more

Going to Rusty's for dinner is worth it just for the view you get if you can get a table by the windows! I made a reservation for Saturday night, and there were surprisingly a lot of availabilities. When we arrived, it took a bit of time for us to be seated, but we waited awhile grabbing a drink at the bar. When we finally got seated, we got one of the best tables that was right by the window. You can see the view of the inner harbor perfectly through their almost 360 windows. I ordered the scallops and my bf ordered the jambalaya. Both were delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a place to go if it's your first time in Baltimore and you like seafood! read more

Let me start by saying the service was alright, I have no complaints there. The scenery was semi outdated but has potential if remodeled. The food was a 7 out of 10 in my opinion. The stuffed shrimp were fantastic, and are where the majority of my vote comes from because my mashed potatoes were under cooked (a little crunchy) and my vegetables were pretty but flavorless. My mom enjoyed her fried fish, and my uncle loved his shrimp and grits so if in town I may be willing to stop by again, but I'm not in a huge rush. read more

My 2 friends and I traveled from NJ to MD on 8/14/21. 1 of my friends is a foodie and he recommended this place. We met another friend here and the 4 of us dined at a table with a window. The view of the harbor was EVERYTHING! Our server (I apologize for not remembering his name but he had long hair and cool rings on his right hand ) was the coolest server I've ever been served by. I especially loved when he included our party with "us" and "we". He had a great personality and sense of humor he was pleasant and prompt with taking and serving our orders. I had Salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The salmon was so fresh and delicious. Not fishy. The mashed potatoes could have used a little more seasoning but the asparagus was prepared to my liking. But wait, the crab dip though.... Recipe please! It was worth the day-trip! read more

Great food, service and view of the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Will be back to try other dishes. The shrimp and grits were amazing.

If you're looking for a great meal with an even greater view, this is your place! We split the calamari, my date got the swordfish (i think?) and I got a grilled chicken breast blackened. Our server, Tyler, was really nice, attentive, and personable. I am not a seafood gal, but I tried the roasted veggies and the mashed potatoes and they were great. My chicken was good too. My date really enjoyed the swordfish. Next time we're in the area we're coming back to try the gooey butter cake that Tyler raved about. The views and vibe here can't be beaten! read more

I am visiting from NJ and dined at thr Rusty Scupper last night. I dont usually leave reviews but I had to due to the OUTSTANDING SERVICE! Our waitress KRISTEN, was AMAZING. From her attentiveness, her attention to detail, and her generous attitude. My mother asked for her to steak to be cooked more. Kirsten asked my mother if she would like a soup or salad while she waited for her meal to return. When the steak returned, a kind gentleman asked my mother if she would like to cut the steak to make sure it was cooked properly this time. It was a very generous gesture. I went to the restroom and returned, KRISTEN had already poured my drink in my glass. Kristen made sure we were satisfied from the moment we sat down till we finished our dining. All employees would smile as they walked past. I will definitely be returning to Rustys and I hope Kristen is my waitress again!! read more

This place has been around for a long time and has a great reputation so it's no surprise that I'm giving it a great review. I ordered the swordfish with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables which turned out to be squash and red bell pepper. My husband ordered the scallops with the Farro salad. Both were absolutely fabulous. I also had their mule which I liked could've been a little bigger, but otherwise was fine with the meal. My husband had a draft beer which he also enjoyed. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, attentive read more

Nice dinner at the inner harbor. We had two kids with us so we have to preface this review with that! 3.5 is more the correct rating. Drink: The cocktail! italicus cucumber. It was absolutely perfect. Food: We saw bread baskets being delivered but we never got one. Oysters: two listed in the menu but only one available. They were good Crab Cakes. They were the superstar! Mashed potatoes: Very good Children's food: chicken fingers and fries. Very standard. A little overpriced for kids lemonade. Dessert: None, because our kids were getting restless. Ambiance: top notch Service: A little too eager and little less attentive. Server offered so many suggestions it was hard to keep up. Obviously knowledgeable and appreciated the suggestions. Not always there when we needed it but alas, we did fine. read more

Amazing food and Service! The view was nice right on the water. I ordered the crab dip it was a big portion size I'm greedy so I loved that! My Pina Strawberry I finished before my food came lol it was that good! The crab cake & lobster is a secret menu option for only $53! I don't like asparagus so I substituted for the mixed veggies.

Crab cake- 10/10!! Calamari- 10/10! Oysters-10/10! A little taken back with how our service was- we were from out of town and we clearly felt out of place. People were in dresses and we were in shorts and T-shirt's. I don't think the wait staff thought we were "dressed" enough to be there, which was unfortunate but still had a nice dinner. read more

Where do I begin? I was skeptical because I felt the name did not match with the atmosphere. Forgot all about it once me and my lady walked in. We were blown away from start to finish. The mood was right, the lighting was perfect, the music selection was a vibe. The host checked us in and we were seated by the window right away watching the water. Once we unwinded, our server Donta was there to greet us immediately with his charisma and invitation. He explained the menu extremely well to the point where me and my lady looked at each other flustered and anxious all in a good way. The octopus app was different and delicious. According to my lady face the cream of crab was amazing (she closed her eyes). Once again overwhelmed by the menu, Donta said "no problem" and broke the menu down for us. We came to a decision I got the steak and crab cake with the collards and mash and my lady got the short rib with collards and mash. I have never in all my restaurant going days asked to meet the Chef. I was completely blown away. Chef Aaron did his thing and he deserved a handshake for the way the meals tasted. 10 out of 10. Thank you Rusty Scupper, thank you Donta and thank you Chef. We talked about our dinner date experience all night. My lady is already making plans to attend brunch with her girls. read more

Went here with my friend on a day trip to Maryland from Virginia. Both of us work In restaurants(both kitchen and front of house). Food was good we got oysters and cauliflower. Our bartender was nice but kinda seem out of it. He was having conversation before he went to the table and it was very noticeable. My friend asked about the oyster we got and where they were and he didn't know which is reasonable but didn't follow up about where the oysters were when he said he would ask about it. Yes we did come in the slow time bur bartender even if it was Bartops should interact with their guest than just a transaction read more

Inattentive service. Our servicer could not have cared less we were dining. Failed to even provide garish for my martini (olives or twist). The large seafood tower was the saddest tower I ever saw, 6 shrimp and six oysters for 110!! Plus bread was not offered until we requested. read more

From the moment our group of 7 walked in the door, the service was very hospitable. The host stopped and chatted about where we were visiting from and what we had done for our daily activities. Our server (wish I could remember her name) waited until our party was completely sat before helping us go over the menu; offered suggestions and quickly answered any questions. She was also very patient with my grandpa- always a plus for me. Food was very good- from nice crusty bread served with a Roasted Red Pepper Aioli to the Lump Crab Cake appetizer to my main entree of Blackened Shrimp and Grits, all were prepared nicely and were tasty. I tried my mom's Crab Fettuccine (a little wide for a traditional "fettuccine," possibly house made?) and it was tasty. Grandparents loved their Baltimore Fish Fry and my sis had the Spice Roasted Chicken with Collards (which I also sampled)...yum. Can't go wrong with the view of the beautiful Inner Harbor. This was the cherry on top to an awesome Sundae(y). I told my grandpa I'd eat here again before I die, and I plan to live up to that. Well done! read more

Great food, great view of B'More and great service every time we go!!! Me and my hubby love the brunch! Best around.

I will admit I've always been reluctant to go to the Rusty Scupper because as a Baltimore-area native I've always just thought of it as a touristy place. But, BF and I were celebrating our fifth anniversary and this is where he insisted on going so I went along. BF strategically picked it because he took me to the top of Fed Hill and PROPOSED, so we got to celebrate our engagement at the Scupper. I don't think fiancé (that has a nice ring to it...) told them that he was proposing, but he did request a seat by the windows when he called. They seated us in a perfect corner table with a wonderful view of the harbor line. We started with the seafood sampler that came with oysters, jumbo shrimp, crab salad, lobster tail, and steamed mussels. They also give you complementary bread with some BOMB sauce (something with roasted pepper). I ordered the blackened salmon. Everything was delicious and service was great. We had a great celebration!! I also crept on many Yelp reviews and can't believe I didn't know about their awesome brunch. Will definitely be back to check that out! read more
