My first time. The service was fantastic and the menu advice was perfect. Salt potatoes are amazing! The haddock sandwich and clam strips were very tasty. The texas hot sauce had a little kick and added to the flavor. And the lake view was gorgeous. This is a must when in Oswego!
I had the center cut haddock sandwich and it was delish. Had a side of mac salad which i also enjoyed. My father had the haddock tail sandwich and salt potatoes and enjoyed both but you can't really mess up salt potatoes. His girlfriend had the fried scallops and said they were darn good.
Location was right on the water. Outdoor seating was nice. Fast, efficient ordering. Food was mostly fried. We had claim strips, max and cheese, wings, hot dog, chicken fingers, potatoes. Fried pickles where not that great and the Philly cheese steak came on a burger bun that just didn't look that appetizing. Food was average. Prices where fair.
A great location with plenty of outdoor picnic tables in the lake, plus some limited indoor seating (no a/c that I could tell🥵).
They are very efficient - order where you walk in then get a buzzer to bring to pick up your order (like Panera does). Do not expect table service here.
This is old time charm and very casual. The food is not what you want if you are looking for healthy options. Lots of fried foods! The fries were very good.
I have never been to Rudy's, what I ordered was very good. The only reason I went there was to watch the fireworks at the harborfest. I will be going back, the atmosphere was nice and inviting. I loved being able to sit outside while I ate to watch the waves rolling in.
Beautiful place to eat outside, picnic tables by the lake. Takes me back to a simpler time enjoying fried food by the water and watching the gentle waves. Husband liked the scallops n I liked the french fries. Next time I'll try the fish or a hot dog. Clam strips a bit too battered for me, was ok.
The trayed food is placed in a brown paper bag for secure walking to outside tables. Friendly, efficient staff. We really liked the experience, like the clam shacks in New England. Nice!
A local hot spot favorite for views of Lake Ontario and great food.
My friend and I dropped in during a rain storm that shut down Harbor Fest... which usually has Rudy's packed. It was still busy but the wait wasn't long and the views of crashing waves was beautiful.
I'm loving the addition of hush puppies!
First time here with my hubby and son for my son's bday and we all loved it!! From start to finish the service and food were amazing!! Went there for lunch and got clam strips, calamari, fired pickles, mac n cheese and smelt. All were made to perfection and it was a perfect day to sit outside by the water where they offer so much seating and shade if you'd like. Will definitely be revisiting soon!
I had the haddock and scallop plate. It was amazing. We ate outside in the setting sun. Just beautiful!
Rudy's is a nice place to go on a sunny day or if you want something quick for takeout. You order food inside and can then take it to-go or eat at a picnic table along the water. The views are amazing on the water. The food and prices are okay.
Gluten free menu attached. Great baked gluten free option with fries; the only thing is that it is not seasoned much if you’re used to that. Make sure to ask for seasoning. Great view too!
I've been visiting Oswego for 30 years and never knew this place was here right on Lake Ontario.
On the water dining, Excellent menu, they know how to do it here. Foam boxes and paper napkins casual, make your order and wait for the buzzer. I tried the Fried fish, Spicy Fried Green Beans(so good) and the coleslaw.
I'm a big guy and did not walk away hungry. Rocky beach to stroll down, wet yer feet.
