    Out of all E Bay St restaurants, this is the most price-efficient but very good place you will find for dinner. Mac&cheese was so delicious I almost wanna order a second portion! Flounder is very moist but crispy and the sauce is interesting with it. The only thing I wish if it will come with a side included. General Chicken had lots of flavor and the dish was a big size that makes you completely full once you done with it. Service is amazing, Chris cared about our table and that’s the type of situation when you feel good about tipping 20% of your check. The crowd is mostly young people. You can watch TV. Seating is great as well — we got a 4 people table just for 2 of us without any reservation. Recommend!

    We drove from Folly Beach into Charleston for a local non-seafood dinner place and chose Rudy’s due to the menu online. The food was good and service was top notch! We had the following: Fried Pickles (typical fried pickles) Mac-n-Cheese (extra delicious and creamy) Chicken Tenders (juicy and excellent breading) Chicken Pot Pie (flavorful and savory) Flank Steak (divine) Garlic Cracked Potatoes (delish with a twist) Strawberry Shortcake (this was just okay, as the shortcake was very dense) There was initially a weird smell to the entry area and where we were seated. Might have been sewer or cleaning products? It went away as we acclimated and food smells filled out table.

    Great atmosphere, service and food! Trey was our server and was excellent - very attentive, personable and friendly. We came in for lunch and shared a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and a chicken pot pie - both were delicious, some of the best chicken we've had in a long time and the Nashville hot did not play around - perfect balance of spice and flavor. Would absolutely stop in again and ask for Trey!

    My family insisted that we come here because they raved about the chicken(which I didn't get,lol). We came here on a Sunday and it wasn't packed in the restaurant at all, but if you've never been to this area of Charleston, it gets pretty packed around here. Anyway, I decided to try the Swordfish steak because it was something that I never had before. I wanted something different. I'm glad I did because it was really good and the sauce that came along with it was really tasty. My only complaint is how small that thing is.lol. I was done in a few bites but I guess it is an expensive product so to make it affordable, I guess it has to be a small cut. Our waiter was excellent and the service was great. They had live music the day we went and the young man performing was extremely talented in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend the cornbread due to it being very basic for my taste but I highly recommend the Mac & Cheese(So good). Hope you enjoy it if you decide to try them out. Take Care.

    I recently dined here, and while I had high hopes based on the reviews, my experience was unfortunately just okay. I tried the General Rudy’s chicken, which turned out to be extremely salty. I don’t consider myself to have a very sensitive palate, but I found it inedible due to the saltiness. I even took it home, hoping I was just being overly sensitive, but trying it the next morning confirmed my initial impression—it was still too salty to enjoy. On the other hand, the cornbread was fantastic. It was served warm, had a delightful texture, and was the highlight of my meal. The fried chicken was crispy, which was great, but it lacked much flavor, making it quite underwhelming. The atmosphere at Rudy’s was bright and inviting, which I appreciated. However, it was notably quiet with not many people dining there. This was surprising given the positive reviews I had read beforehand. Overall, I had higher expectations for Rudy’s based on the reviews. While the cornbread was excellent, the rest of the meal did not live up to the hype. The bright and inviting atmosphere was a plus, but the overall dining experience left much to be desired.
