It was 1979 when the Rusty Rudder opened its doors. It was the place to go and be seen. Open air decks, plenty of music, food, and drinks….the summers came and went and the Rusty Rudder then became an institution. Guess what? It still is. The setting is beautiful.
Rusty Rudder is located at 113 Dickinson Street and the Bay. The Atlantic Ocean is on one side and the Bay is on the other, making Dewey Beach a playground for adults day and night and the best of both worlds for the young ones. A lot of work has been done inside just for the new season ahead. For more info., please visit http://www.rustyrudderdewey.com. Or, call tel. 302-227-3888.
Arrive by car and you will find plenty of parking available; otherwise come by boat and there are plenty of slips, as well.
Rusty Rudder was opening on Saturday, 4/12, and what a gorgeous day this coastal town had. Plenty of shorts and flip-flops, local attire found in Dewey. The opening of Rusty Rudder brought numerous customers, including Shelley, Mrs. Levinson and myself. There was a Chili Cookoff and we were ready to try and vote for the best.
Surrounding the Rusty Rudder’s deck we found restaurants and individuals that were set up with their prize chili. The conversations heard were, tasty, spicy, ground beef vs. steak chili….You went around sampling all of them. By the time you were finished, a bowl of chili was probably devoured.
Lisa Abel’s Chili was very good. A traditional taste full of flavor…she was the winner.
One of my favorites was prepared by Jimmy’s Grille. It was a white chicken chili. It really was good with just the right seasonings.
Ivy had a pretty good one too. Those I have mentioned were my top picks, but to be honest, I did not try them all.
Big Hat No Cattle was starting to play….entertainment for everyone. They got the crowds going and some of us were able to dance the chili off.
A big shout to the Rusty Rudder for sponsoring the table full of information on Alzheimer’s. A devastating disease in many families causing so much despair. For more info. on the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, please visit http://www.alz.org/10signs. Save the Date: “I Walk to End Alzheimer’s” It will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Saturday, October 4th. And, on October 18th, the walk will be in Wilmington, Delaware.

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”
With that in mind, there was no better place to to listen to music, on Saturday, than at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach.
The Greaseband was the first to perform, early in the afternoon but the Rudder’s deck was packed. It was a chilly afternoon; some of us felt it, and some others were feeling no pain.
It really was so pretty and the Rusty Rudder sits right on the bay; scenic is the word.
The moment The Greaseband started playing people were dancing. Their music reminisce so many good years of clean, fun music. The people in attendance were a mix. Some young; babies in tow and some, well, a little more mature. I would like to think I was in the middle of the pack with Shelley, Paula, Mike and a few others we met.
I looked at everyone on the deck and every single person was smiling and dancing. Letting their hair down. Some let their hair down so much, they were dancing on tables.
The Greaseband has been together for 38 years. Amazing that they have been able to keep it together for such a long time. Big following. This was the first performance of many in Dewey Beach. Check their website www.greaseband.com.
Then, champagne was served to every one for a toast on Admiral Dewey Day. A proclamation and a celebration. In 1981 Rusty Rudder showed up at the Delaware beaches. A restaurant, a bar and a music venue. This season promises to be a fun one in Dewey as the Rusty Rudder celebrates all summer long its 30 years.
Have a great day!! Talk to you later….
