Rudy Roo's Seafood

Came here for a weekday lunch and they have a wide variety of selections from seafood to burgers to salads. Got the fried catfish boat which includes fries, coleslaw, corn, on the cob, and hush puppies (as opposed to the basket which only includes fries and hush puppies). Food was prompt and came out in less than 10 minutes. The catfish didn't taste fishy (the bad kind of fishy) at all but wish it was crispier. Portion size was a good amount of food. All in all, a decent but average seafood option in the Freeport area. Staff was super nice and offered extra tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. I hear their burgers are good so I'll try one next time!

Hole in the wall for sure, but Good amount of food at a very reasonable price. Cooked to order. Would recommend you give it a try

I haven't been here in forever, which is only because I don't work close enough to do this on my lunch hour! Today I'm having blackened fish tacos! I can never decide if I like the blackened fish or blackened shrimp the best. They are both delicious. This little restaurant does a booming business. Their burgers are good and what a lot of people order, but don't get hung up on one thing... the menu has a lot of delicious options and you may miss out if you order the same thing every time!!! Is you like fancy and sparkly then Rudy Roos is not for you, but if you want down home good cooking at a great price then you should definitely visit Rudy Roos!

Boudin balls were borderline if not at the point of having been made with porridge. I liked the batter but the filling was almost 80% rice and 20% other stuff. If that isn't the case, that's how it tasted, and that's what really matters right? Such a shame since the seasoning was not that bad. you pay a little more than 5 bucks for 4 balls...1.25/ball should be fairly good right? Hmm, well, no.I had the oyster po'boy as well and two of the fried oysters still had grit/sand in them. Yup. Based on that you can infer the caliber of the cleanliness of the food prep (I saw a lady in the back transporting a few fillets of tilapia with just her hand and not in a container or anything. Couldn't tell if she was wearing gloves.I don't know why everyone's raving about the po'boy itself as it seemed like a normal tasting one to me...though the bread wasn't my favorite in terms of texture (chewy almost to the point of rubberiness).Lastly, the fries they had aren't special or anything, but I do want to note that they smelled FOUL. Like rotten foul. It's a familiar type of rotten but I can't quite pinpoint what type it was...rotten...fish I guess? I was wondering why it smelled and subsequently tasted strange and then I figured that perhaps they deep fry their fish in oil and use that same oil to fry their French fries. Well, if the fries have a foul odor, then what does that speak of their fish?The po'boy and fries were ~9+I do like the interior of the place as it has the nice tiny southern feel to it. Also, the people there were very nice. It's too bad the food doesn't live up to much.4/10, would not come again and would not recommend to a friend.

Love it. I stay an hr away, and I happen to stop and not disappointed. Everything is made fresh and warmy. Highly recommend...

Some of the best seafood in Freeport! Always a great place to eat, just wish there was more space. These folks always take care of you.

Don't be fooled by the plain exterior: Rudy Roo's serves excellent seafood and perfect extras at reasonable prices. We enjoyed the seafood platter and ordered gumbo and fried okra on the side. It made a comfortable lunch for 4, which we digested while listening to Rudy tell stories about the 15 year history of the place. Order ahead if you want to take home jumbo shrimp by the pound: they'll shell and clean it if you want.

Some of the best seafood you'll ever eat. The place is small and building is old, but it's worth it. The family really cares about their customers and they provide top notch service.

I've tried the burger and fries, pretty good.However, I tried another time getting the shrimp, hush puppies, fries and cole slaw....the shrimp batter was soggy, the fries were very vinegary...I was unhappy.It may have just been an off day. I'm just reluctant to try again....

Hole in the wall small restaurant. I read previous reviews and decided to stop and give it a try. Everything was made fresh to order. We got fried pickles and mozzarella sticks for appetizers. I got a shrimp poboy with fries, my fiancé got the seasoned plate with jumbo shrimp, Catfish, fries, and side salad, my daughter got the jumbo shrimp platter with fires and side salad. Everything was really good and fresh glad we stopped by. If your in the area definitely stop by and try it out!!
