The Rusty Rudder is a great place to go if you don't have a boat and want to enjoy the lake view. Also they have live music outside to enhance the party. Outside there is a bar, stage for the musicians and upper and lower patios for dining. The inside has additional dining tables, another bar and pool tables. Sometimes we ait inside if the wait is too long because it is a nice way to cool down after being on the lake all day.
Their food is consistently average. Not great but not terrible. Just typical bar style food.
It is excellent that at their fuel docks they provide 93 Octane Fuel, one of the few places on the lake to offer it. They have 5 slips dedicated to fueling which keeps your wait time down. However those five slips mean that there are five fewer to park in for dining and you can expect a long wait if they ate all occupied. Additionally they sell beer, ice and snacks in the fuel dock store and have designated spots for jet ski parking.
