The Rudder

Can't see the menu or your food. Wear your coal miners' hard hat with the light. It's dark up in there. Rathar average food, kind bartners. Meh.

Very nice atmosphere!! Loved every moment on Valentine's night out!!

We always have a good time at The Rudder. They have good prices on beverages, better than some of the other spots in Hendersonville. Happy hour is solid for house and well options. The on the water feel is always fun. Food is good, we come for the atmosphere. I would say the food is a 3 of 5, but the overall experience is always good. We live nearby and always enjoy coming here, both during the season and off season.

The bartenders are great. The service is great. The music is always great. It's the best place on the water.

My girlfriend and I finally were in the area and tried this place out. The service was really good, but the menu was just ok and the food was ok. Not bad, but not great. Sam's across the lake in Old Hickory had a lot better menu. Maybe they have a different menu for the winter vs the summer time.
