We had the most amazing dinner at Rusty Scupper this evening! Patty did an amazing job waiting on us! She was so personable and made our experience there a dream! Our food was phenomenal! I had the Blackened Shrimp and Grits and a Jumbo Lump Crab cake. My husband had the Baltimore Fish Fry! We shared the Warm Butter Cake! SOOOO GOOOOOD! We'll definitely be back next visit and hope we have Patty again! read more

Went to Maryland for the weekend, swung through Baltimore, and had lunch at the Rusty Scupper on a local's recommendation. Locals: 1, Google Reviews: 0. Best suggestion I've ever received in my life, no notes. The crab cakes. THE CRAB CAKES. 95% crab meat, 5% "why would we add filler bread, are we monsters." I didn't know crab cakes could have a personality until this one looked me dead in the eye. The Cream of Crab Soup was the best thing I've ever put on a roll and then had to switch to a spoon for, like it graduated from bread delivery system to full-blown soup mid-bite and I respected the glow-up. Not pictured: the Tuna Poke, which I'm still mad about. If you like poke bowls, do NOT eat here, because every poke bowl after this one is going to taste like a disappointing participation trophy. You will compare every future bowl to this one and every future bowl will lose. This is the place for a great meal, a gorgeous view, or the best first date that will ruin every future first date by comparison (sorry to whoever you date next). I repeat: do not go here if you ever want to enjoy food anywhere else again. You've been warned. read more

A gorgeous harbor front spot with great service, solid food, and even better vibes. We came during Restaurant Week, $55 two‑course menu, live jazz, and a smooth dining flow for our group of five adults and three kids. The kids stuck to burgers, tenders, and salmon while the adults enjoyed the fixed menu. The best part?, celebrating my mom's birthday!The staff doesn't do the traditional song, but our table started singing when her dessert arrived and the entire restaurant joined in. People clapped, one guest even came over to wish her well. It was genuinely sweet. With four alcoholic drinks, the total was just over $500, not bad. Very seafood heavy menu, but offers American staples as well! read more

I am part of a brunch group where we rotate locations every month. Rusty Scupper was on our list! The service, food, and vibe are all A+. The two things that I enjoyed the most were the omelette station and the peach Bellini's. They also offer other brunch, staples, and some knot so common items like mac&cheese and bread pudding...Actually, let me take a pause here and change my mind about my top two items. The bread pudding comes in first place. LOL. Our server was very kind and attentive. A good time was had by all in attendance. Happy brunching. read more

The Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashioned was outstanding and set the tone for an incredible meal. I ordered the crab cake with asparagus and mashed potatoes, and it was honestly the best I've ever had. Everything on the plate was amazing from start to finish. Our server, Dante, was friendly and extremely funny, keeping us all laughing throughout the evening. He even went out of his way to bring separate gluten-free bread for someone in our group, which was a thoughtful and much appreciated touch. We had a beautiful view of the harbor with live piano music in the background. It couldn't have been a more perfect evening. read more

this meal was top-notch and I have to say the portion sizes were pretty great. I couldn't even eat all the vegetables, although they were so delicious on my plate. They didn't have as many gluten-free appetizer options as I would've liked to see but I asked him if they had gluten-free bread and they did bring me out a gluten-free bun lol I thought it was funny, but I really appreciated the effort. Went with a group of people, beautiful views I think it would be hard to have a business meeting there because it was so loud, but the white stuff was amazing and as I said, the food portion side was delicious delicious I had the blackened cod in the blackening seasoning that they use is out out of this world highly recommend read more

It was all good from the greeting, seating, service, and food. We tried the calamari, small seafood tower - 4/5 all was fresh and tasty and the lobster could have been more tender; entrees: blackened shrimp and grits, crab fettuccine, crab stuffed shrimp all good and rich with cream and butter, presumably. It was two of our birthdays, so complimentary cheesecake and ice cream were provided. Sometimes the service can make or break your dining experience and our server was perfectly accommodating. Oh - the champagne and limoncello cocktail were delicious. We had a good time. read more

Came here after spending the day at the aquarium and we are glad we made the walk around the harbor to get here. Service was great, our server was super cool and helpful. The restaurant is more upscale and has an incredibly nice view. We got lucky there was an air show so there were navy jets flying by the entire time we were there. The food was very good, I got the crab stuffed shrimp, my wife got blackened rockfish, and my sister got the fry basket. We also got oysters to start. Prices are a little steep here but given the location and ambiance, it's expected. Either way we had a great time and meal. I'd recommend this place to someone visiting Baltimore. read more

Rusty Scupper was my first time visiting, and I have to say--the all-you-can-eat buffet brunch is top notch. The variety alone makes it worth it, but the quality seals the deal. My favorite was the omelette station (I'm an omelette guy), and they did not disappoint. Fresh, made-to-order, and exactly how you want it. If you're into seafood or southern fried catfish, you'll be in heaven--they've got it all covered. Drinks included with the price $67 person! Crazy deal! They also had a live pianist playing, which added a smooth, classy vibe to the whole experience. The atmosphere is relaxed, the bathrooms are clean, and everything felt well put together. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a solid brunch spot in Baltimore with great food and a nice waterfront feel, this is it. Oh yeah and the service was good. read more

Went to the Rusty Scupper for the first time today for Valentines Day dinner. They had a wonderful prix fixed menu for the holiday. It was a beautiful setting. My only reason for lower score was because they sat us in the table all the way to the end. My husband's view for the evening was the parking garage. We enjoyed the food all the same. My husband had the calamari to start (a healthy portion - we had leftovers). I had the half & half crab soup. It was a bit salty but went well with the delicious bread that they had. He had the sea bass (beautifully cooked). Nice and light. I had the lobster. We had the cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. The food left us full. A satisfying meal. read more

We went to Rusty Scupper last weekend for the first time, and I have to say the place is beautiful. The ambiance was very nice, the service was great, and the food came out very quickly. We only ordered appetizers and drinks, but everything we tried was good. We shared the crab dip, which was amazing, and I personally ordered the calamari, which I also enjoyed. For drinks, I had their sangria -- sweet, refreshing, and very good overall. My only issue with the place is the pricing. We spent over $400 without even ordering full meals, so it definitely feels expensive. Overall, it's a great spot for the atmosphere and food, but be prepared for high prices. read more

Came back recently during happy hour just for a drink and a crab cake, and had a great experience. I enjoyed the Rusty Scupper Ale which was refreshing, and an absolutely delicious crab cake with large chunks of crab. We were also served bread which is just as good as I remembered from our prior visit. Our waitress was also super friendly and checked on us frequently. This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Baltimore for a nice dinner, and I look forward to coming back again when I'm in town. read more

Was in Baltimore for a day and wanted to make sure we got crab cakes before leaving. We had been walking around the inner harbor for a while and made our way over. We didn't get full dinner as we had another planned stop before flying home but that didn't impact service. Crab cakes were great. Large lumps of meat and not much filler. I also had the cream of crab soup. It was delicious and had a generous amount of lump crab meat. The Rusty Scupper ale was good too. Dinning area has a great view of the harbor area. read more

We visited The Rusty Scupper tonight and had a wonderful experience. Our server, Linwood (LJ), welcomed us and gave us a thorough rundown of the menu/special options. He also shared his favorite menu items and answered all of our questions. Throughout the evening, he cleared dishes so we had space on our table and refilled our drinks without us requesting. We appreciate his hospitality!!! The music playing was very diverse, including the pianist entertainer of the evening. The view is beautiful and the space in between tables provided different groups a bit of privacy while dining. We had the lump crab fettuccine, sea bass, kids' salmon, lump crap cake, calamari, scallops, and octopus. For dessert, we shared the flan and the cake with strawberries. Wow!!! Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the crab cake because it wasn't overtaken by bread crumbs, like other places will do. It was very flavorful. The general manager stopped by to check on us, which made us see how much customers are valued. Every person that took care of us was very kind. Our time spent here was nice and I'm sure you will have a good time, if you're looking for quality food. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

An old Baltimore staple. Go for the view first and the food second. They have a decent happy hour but mainly people pop in here for dinner or their jazz brunch. Service is very nice and to be expected at a white table cloth establishment. This is where you bring your friends from out of town for a classic Baltimore experience but not somewhere you just drop in. read more

This place is phenomenal, I get why it has so many great ratings. They sat us at a table with such a great view, however I think every table has a wonderful view. The service was great, the food was yummy, and I'll definitely be recommending this place! read more

Birthday celebration with the Family....And, this restaurant couldn't have been more fitting!! From the views, ambiance and fantastic menu....I have no complaints! Rusty Scupper has been around since the ages of time at the Baltimore Harbor. I remember coming here in the 90's ( yes, dating myself...lol) and was surprised that they are still around and one on the original "OG's'" here at the Baltimore Harbor! We were a Family of Ten and were accommodated to the upmost. Never had to wait for a server and the customer service was on point. It could not have been better!! We were sat at a window table with a great view of the harbor. Our server was prompt and attentive (Bellinis galore!). We were here for the brunch layout. The food was fantastic!! Ham, prime rib and lamb carving station, seafood. custom omelets, fantastic buffet spread of delicious food...of all the breakfast classics and comfort food eats. And of course.....The Seafood!! Oysters, shrimp, crab & lobster.....you name it....they served it. In all, our food was top notch. Our severs were very attentive.... helpful and pleasant but not overbearing. Our water glasses and drinks were never emptied. Between the quality of the food and customer service, it could not have been a better experience! Thank you Rusty Scupper! I would recommend for the Sunday Brunch, any casual dining while in the area or special occasion! The vibe is great and the food is delicious. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and left completely with Buddha rubbing--full bellies and satisfied. Will be back!! Thank you Rusty Scupper for the outstanding food and service! Will be back for sure. read more

This was my first visit to Rusty Scupper, however, it will definitely not be my last. Every aspect of our dining experience was first class. The service was courteous, attentive, extremely professional & our server was very astute concerning every aspect of our dining experience, from assisting us with menu choices to making sure we had appropriate take out containers for our leftovers. Our server was prepared for any & all questions & concerns we voiced. The food was delightful. Every dish we tried was absolutely bursting with flavor. The whole fried fish I ordered was cooked perfectly. It was crunchy on the outside with tender, flaky flesh on the inside. The spices that encapsulated the fish enhanced the overall flavor of the dish. It was some of the best fish I have had the pleasure of eating. My husband had the crab cakes & he stated that they were full of actual crab meat & not filler. I was very impressed that the restaurant offered a free calamari appetizer if you sign up for emails. The calamari was also very light & tasted great. We ordered the Parmesan Truffle fries as an appetizer also & they were crunchy and cooked perfectly & also very flavorful. We ended our meal sharing a Mexican coffee. It was yummy & the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Finally, the view, decor & ambiance of the restaurant were all breathtaking. The restaurant is situated at a quiet part of the Inner Harbor. So we were able to enjoy our meal with a beautiful view of the harbor away from the usual hustle & bustle of the harbor. Rusty Scupper is definitely a restaurant I recommend trying if you are in Baltimore. You definitely will not be disappointed. read more

Wonderful experience! We came in on a Sunday night and it could not have been more perfect. We had the Tuna Carpaccio, Crab Cake, Shrimp and Grits, Scallops and Crab Fettuccine. All were great and very flavorful. The shiitake mushrooms and truffle puree surrounding the scallops was divine. The scallops were unfortunately quite over cooked but regardless it was still a highly enjoyable meal. Service was great and our waiter could not have been better with the host staff being incredibly welcoming as well. Ambiance was perfect, not overly crowded and stunning views. Overall I would definitely come back next time I am in Baltimore and would recommend anyone do so! read more

By far the BEST BRUNCH location in Baltimore! It is so yummy and delicious! I don't even know where to start. When you get there there's private parking that you unfortunately have to pay for but your car is safe and right at the restaurant so I get it. When you arrive you're greeted by multiple staff and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RESERVATION! I showed up once and forgot and they were already overbooked but they booked us for the following Sunday. The food selections change with different themes sometimes so it's not just the exact same menu every time. We went during Mardi and the food was so good. The restaurant is inspired by a ship of course so the interior is so beautiful and reminds you of a very regal cruise ship. From start to finish it's just exceptional all around. One of my favorite places for brunch! I highly highly recommend coming here! read more

Rusty Scupper offers a true fine dining experience with spectacular service--our servers waited on us hand and foot. The two-level setup and marina views made for a beautiful setting.

Our table tried several entrées, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend for great food, great views, and top-notch service! read more

Great place for seafood overlooking the Harbor on Federal Hill. Went some time ago with my dad. Need to take my wife here at some point. Service was good.

Happy hour in a venue overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor, what more can you ask for? I love that the happy hour menu is reasonably priced, and the food is absolutely delicious. I had a shrimp basket with fries, and a crab cake. Good portions too. The staff is friendly and attentive. Although I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, the folks in my group said that the drinks were not very strong at all and referred to the sangria as punch. I would like to add, that it would have been nice to be able to be seated at a table nearby rather than the high top tables, because it can be challenging on those stools with a senior group. All in all, I would definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

Finally got a chance to check out their really nice Jazz Brunch Sunday's. For 65$ you really get a nice selection of food to choose from the raw bar, traditional brunch favorites and a omelet station to name a few. Unlimited mimosas and sangria and bellini's are included with a beautiful view of the Inner Harbor. Just a friendly reminder there are two seatings: 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. / 1:00 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. with a 1-1/2-hour maximum seating time to enjoy your brunch. Buffet closes at 2:30 p.m. & Last Cocktails served at 2:15 p.m. So if you are dining with other guests, make sure everyone in your party is on time. And your reservation starts as soon as you are seated. Definitely will return. read more

It has been many years since I ate at the Rusty Scupper as I moved away from Maryland. The location and the seafood encouraged us to return. Seven us attended a downtown conference and the Rusty Scupper turned out to be a perfect location. Food was great. I had both the traditional crabcake and a soft-shelled crab. Both excellent. Others had shrimp, crab soup, and salmon. Service and ambiance were great. Will put the Rusty Scupper on my agenda the next time I am near Baltimore. read more

Amazing food, beautiful scenery being on the water, impeccable service. I wouldn't say we are regulars but we come here more than a few times a year. It's a staple place for us when my wife is craving the whole fish with chimichurri. My go to is the pan seared scallops and I am never disappointed. The scallops are always cooked to perfection and the accompaniments are delicious. Asparagus and sunchoke slices with a sunchoke and truffle demiglaze. The cream of crab soup is delightful especially when mixed with the Maryland Crab. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a nice date night, or romantic evening out with a loved one or with family or friends. read more

My overall experience at Rusty Scupper was positive. I loved the view of the water as I dined. My waitress was amazing! I wish I remembered her name, but she was attentive and very informative. I enjoyed my mahi mahi, but wish the fish itself had a little more flavor. However, the lemon beurre blanc sauce that came on it was delicious (especially with the mashed potatoes) and made up for the missing spices. I also enjoyed my sangria! It was refreshing and aesthetically pleasing. read more
