Reviews For Rudee's Restaurant and Cabana Bar

Good time... We came here for lunch after going on a Rudee Dolphine Viewing Tour. We decided to take a seat in the patio area which has really cool rocking style tables. The employees were very nice and helpful. Presentation of the dishes were good. Although, the seafood were tasty but we were expecting for a little more seasoning. The food we ordered were- Fried Calamari, Hush Puppies, Chicken Fingers, Fried Fish Sandwich, Crabcake Sandwich, Tuna Fish (under today’s fresh catch). Overall, we had a good experience.

Awesome food, and the glider seating was fun. Didn't go inside so I don't know what it was like.

Choose to eat in the restaurant or out along the water in rocking chair booth seating with an overhead canopy. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Our waitress was wonderful, suggested ideas or accommodated for any request we had. The food was fast, fresh, and hot. The seafood pasta was delicious! I would recommend them 10/10. A must visit spot if traveling near Virginia Beach.

Delicious seafood! This restaurant is by the water. You would like the atmosphere there. Food is delicious . We ordered crab cake sandwiches and a seafood combo. Everything was delicious. Crab cake and scallops were delicious. The scallops were melting in my mouth. I would recommend the restaurant team to make sure that the restroom is always clean. We saw water overflowing there. It's not a good experience for those who use the restroom. I also recommend the restaurant not to make it a valet parking only restaurant. The parking spot is in front. You should let everyone park on their own.

I had some difficulty accessing the Cabana. There was a lot of road work going on when I visited. Eventually I was able to get to the parking lot. The outdoor set up is nice. I enjoyed my lunch of soup and salad here. The bartender was awesome and made great drinks. I'll be back and hopefully the construction will be done.

This was our first time at Rudee's and it was a perfect experience. Eating outside on the glider tables was really cool. The food was fast and fresh.
