Holy white table cloth Batman, this place is top notch WOW total trip, kinda felt like your drunk ants reception, total weird experience. Not sure what to say, do the have food yes, and the prime rib looked pretty impressive, beer ck wine ck. oh when I stopped they had some live lounge music, wow bonus. The place was jamming and everyone over 50 we're having such fun. You gotta ck this place out, quite the experience.

Friday night. With live entertainment.

This is one of Clarkstons best kept secrets. We can always walk in. Just a block away from downtown. We drive by people waiting in line outside for meteocker food. I don't get it. But don't tell no one. I love there food and the pours are the largest of anywhere I've ever been. Plus it's locally owned and operated. The owner is almost always there.

Outstanding. Great service. Great food. Try the walleye. A little dated with the decor but you cannot beat the food or the value

Come as you are; it's a welcoming place reminiscent of little fried fish shacks of decades gone by: mounted fish, photographs and quips included. I ordered a half-order of Scotty's Famous Fish and Chips. Fresh cod flown in every day from Halifax Nova Scotia. It's flakey and mild in flavor..., perhaps too mild for some. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed its gently fried, crispy batter and warm flakey cod fish! Recommended.

The food is good and plentiful. Yesterday was the first time we went there for lunch. I ordered the fish and shrimp combo and a side of fried onion rings. It was a bit on the greasy side, but still tasty. I'm thinking of going back for a solid plate of shrimp. It was so good. The service is excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and served us well. Scotty's has a charm of a typical 50's fish and chips place. Not too much has changed and a number of us are fine with that. There's a bell near the door that you're encouraged to ring if you appreciated the service. When it's rung, the staff shouts out "Thank you!" You hear it ring quite a lot when you dine-in.

They carry just about any bottled beer you'd want, and usually have one or two rotating taps. The wine list is short and very "small-town," but it fits the place. The food is really the highlight. Everything I've had has been solid. They even have a small salad bar that might look a little sketch at first glance, but the ingredients are fresh and well-kept. The soups are good, and the lunch entrées have all been reliable. I haven't tried dinner yet, but lunch has never let me down. Inside is clean, but it's definitely tight quarters--you end up getting to know the other people at the bar and nearby tables, which honestly adds to the charm. Service is friendly and prompt, and you feel welcomed. Overall, it's a great casual small-town stop when you want good food without the fuss. Not fancy, just dependable and worth coming back to.

From the incredible atmosphere to the outstanding food and wonderful staff, everything is top-notch. The steaks are absolutely delicious, the appetizers are amazing, and the quality of the food never disappoints! A special thank you to Emily, our server, who is absolutely phenomenal! She is friendly, attentive, personable, and truly goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The entire staff is welcoming and professional, and you can tell they genuinely care about their guests. A special acknowledgement to Robert and Chris, who have done an incredible job bringing their vision of a premier, upscale steakhouse to life in Clarkston! Their attention to detail, commitment to exceptional food and service, and dedication to creating a truly memorable dining experience are evident in every aspect of the restaurant. They've created something really special, and Clarkston is lucky to have it! Rudy's Prime Steakhouse has a sophisticated and inviting ambiance, making it the perfect place for a wonderful evening out! Great food, exceptional service, and a first-class dining experience on every level. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to return

We appreciated the attentive service and nice selection of wines by the glass. The house pickle martini was a fun twist on a classic. I'm a big fan of a hasselback potato. While flavorful, this fell short as the edges were not browned and crispy. That's the thrill of the hassle back. This would be a five star review IF they would prohibit ball caps, men in t-shirts, shorts, or anyone in denim in the main dining room on Saturday nights. It was clear there were many people celebrating special occasions with men in sport coats and ladies dressed nicely. As a courtesy to those guests, people with ball caps and other casual attire or athletic attire should be seated in the bar or outside on a Friday or Saturday night. As Tony Soprano put it so well: Is this a ballpark? Are you eating a hotdog? Take off your hat!
