Rusty Scupper is an Iconic restaurant in the Inner Harbor. The food is delicious, cooked to perfection and the servings are very generous with portions. The views of the harbor are so beautiful especially in the evening with all the lights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great for couples, families, large groups or parties, I have been here for all occasions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is spectacular. I've always been treated well here but Krissy's service was the best. She was very knowledgeable with great suggestions, attentive and welcoming. read more

LJ was amazing and the crap cakes were the best. Definitely go check them out when you are in Baltimore.

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, [[HIGHLIGHT]]beautiful views I think it would be hard to have a business meeting there because it was so loud[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], 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

We went to Rusty Scupper last weekend for the first time, and I have to say the place is beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very nice, the service was great, and the food came out very quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's a great spot for the atmosphere and food, but be prepared for high prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finally, the view, decor & ambiance of the restaurant were all breathtaking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rusty Scupper is definitely a restaurant I recommend trying if you are in Baltimore. You definitely will not be disappointed. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is more upscale and has an incredibly nice view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got lucky there was an air show so there were navy jets flying by the entire time we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had a live pianist playing, which added a smooth, classy vibe to the whole experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is relaxed, the bathrooms are clean, and everything felt well put together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

It's all about the food! (The view of the Inner Harbor was pretty great too.) I had the best crab cake I've had in Maryland, and only $20 during happy hour. For non-seafood diners, I can recommend the roasted spiced chicken, with collard greens and cornbread. We took our server's recommendation for dessert, and the blackberry lemon coffee cake did not disappoint. I can't wait to eat here again! 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a beautiful setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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

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

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

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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Happy hour in a venue overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor, what more can you ask for?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, I would definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for seafood overlooking the Harbor on Federal Hill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went some time ago with my dad. Need to take my wife here at some point. Service was good. They used to have a van that took people to restaurant and back from hotels but it was late so they let us order more last minute for happy hour. read more

I was recently vising Baltimore and [[HIGHLIGHT]]we decided to venture over to Rusty Scupper for a nice romantic dinner with a view of the water which was breath taking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start we shared the JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKE $30 grain mustard beurre blanc and the CHEF'S SELECT OYSTERS* MP cocktail sauce, lemon, classic mignonette, and PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS $53 roasted Shiitake mushrooms, sunchoke & truffle puree, asparagus sunchoke crisps, chive oil. For our entree we shared the LUMP CRAB FETTUCCINE $39 fettucine pasta, lump crab meat, shallots, cream sauce. The entire meal was amazing!

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.

And your reservation starts as soon as you are seated. Definitely will return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had amazing meal, with impeccable service, and a beautiful view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Props to Kevin G and the entire staff! From the moment we entered, we felt welcomed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The host led us to a table with a gorgeous view of the harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 8pm in the middle of June 2026 on a blue skied evening, we dined while watching the sun set and the harbor lights glow - quite magical![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is indeed a place to celebrate a special event as while dress was recommended as casual, I would say it was casual chic and even classy dressy as graduation and birthday celebrations seemed to be abundant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bread & their special aioli sauce (we were told comprised of almonds, peppers, garlic) were so fresh and addictive. Hubs tried the oysters as an appetizer & crab cake entree complemented by green beans and perfectly seasoned mashed potatoes on the side. He loved them all. Son devoured the calamari appetizer and lump crab fettuccine entree and while usually reluctant about greens - agreed to have the green beans. Portions were generous and there was no room for dessert, but would absolutely return just for dessert :) ***Kevin G*** was truly an outstanding server, even letting us know when our entrees were to be delayed by 5 minutes (honestly doubt we'd notice) but boy was that a special touch! And after we left and hubs forgot the itemized receipt as he needed it for a conference we called and ***Kwami*** expeditiously texted us the receipt!!! tbh - I'm usually not into chain restaurants which I originally thought Rusty Scupper was, but since have learned this one is the last remaining location. I was pleasantly surprised and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is pricey, but the staff and food and views make it worthwhile & would highly recommend for a special event or romantic evening!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hope to return again!!! 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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Rusty Scupper has the best view of Baltimore's inner harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our crab soup was outstanding with a nice clump of crab floating in a very rich creamy crab base. Caesar salad had a wonderful rich dressing. The hush puppies were amazing with shreds of crab woven throughout. The mixed fried fish had mixed reviews - while the shrimp was excellent, the white fish pieces had ammonia odor - when we let them know, they were gracious enough to swap it out for more shrimp. We had Delicious peach margaritas, and an outstanding view of the Maryland 250 airshow. The servers and our waitress were amazing and attentive, and we loved the fresh hot ciabatta rolls that were refreshed once our basket ran out without our mentioning. 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

A company dinner well spent at rusty scupper. I had the opportunity to have dinner with coworkers to unwind and receive insight about the future of our company at the inner harbor. Upon walking in the restaurant is beautiful with great scenery of the harbor and the skylines. Our waiter mark was knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. I started off with an old fashioned then switched to a manhattan. The old fashioned wasn't crafted well in my opinion but the manhattan definitely got It right. Afterwards we ordered appetizers: oysters crab dip and calamari. The oysters were delicious, briny and sweet. The calamari was fried to perfection and the crab dip is more on the cheese side and not crab. I ordered my entree which was the whole crispy fish. This was pretty good but not the best fried fish I've had. The Thai chilli sauce added a nice flavor and the cornmeal provided an excellent crunch. The flesh of the meat itself lacked flavor. Lastly we ended with dessert as I chose the warm bread pudding, I wasn't a fan the bread pudding was very dense and the chocolate was a bit rich. Overall I enjoyed our company dinner and will come back again for hh read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant had a nice feel slightly dated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I traveled by Uber did not realize that the entrance to the restaurant is a paid parking lot so Uber dropped us off at the road and we walked to the restaurant which was fine but if i had on heels it would have been a problem its a short 2min walk down long roadway/ driveway. I had a drink and decided to leave since I didn't want to get caught there at night waiting for an Uber on the side of the road. After leaving I saw a connecting road leads to outside vendors etc... which was nice to see/ sight see. In general I'lll say its a lot to navigate if ur an out of towner traveling by Uber. But if ur driving you'll be fine. Hope this helps. My review is.of the area and navigating. My drink was.good. read more

This was our first Thanksgiving visit, and it was absolutely fantastic. Parking was very convenient. Paid parking is available on the same level as the restaurant. The water view was beautiful, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff were both professional and friendly. The food exceeded our expectations. The buffet included a hot food section with all the classic Thanksgiving favorites, a meat carving station with prime rib, pork loin, and turkey, and a seafood station featuring smoked salmon, steamed shrimp, and fresh raw oysters shucked right there. And the desserts were out of this world. Every item was prepared by the chef and tasted incredible. The Rusty Scupper is officially our new Thanksgiving tradition. The price is $95 per person (including non-alcoholic drinks) for 90 minutes of seating. It may seem a bit high, but it was absolutely worth it. read more

Great view with great vibes on the harbor! We went to Rusty Scupper for Valetines Day. For romance and ambiance, this place was everything! There's a parking garage with $10 validation, which certainly is a perk. We had reservations but were seated early directly on the harbor with views of the water and skyline. My complaints were around service and the food. My favorite bite was the half and half crab soup. Everything else was just okay. The service was scattered; but on a busy night like V-day, maybe that was the exception and not the norm. Overall, I'll be back to try some other things. The crab cakes and sea bass were both good. read more

Good for brunch. I've gone several times with my friends and I've never been disappointed.

Rusty Scupper's brunch buffet is a food lover's paradise, and this week's spread was nothing short of spectacular! My plate was a delicious journey that started with a perfectly made crab, shrimp, and spinach egg white omelette--a light yet satisfying choice that hit all the right notes. From there, I indulged in waffles and sausage, which were classic and comforting. But what stole the show were the oxtails and plantains--a flavorful duo that added a bold, savory, and slightly sweet twist to the meal. To drink, the Rum Apple Cider was a seasonal delight, warming and perfectly spiced--a great match for the rich variety on my plate. Rusty Scupper continues to impress with its mix of hearty classics and exciting new additions. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. 10/10--I'll be back for more! read more

Rusty Scupper is one of my favorite places to brunch. They have a wide selection of food options, omelets made to order, carved meats, and an array of desserts!
