This place was a great experience. Our waitress was awesome! The food was an 8/10. The atmosphere was chill and they had the heaters on which felt a bit too hot on my back. But other than that, great experience!
Martin J Fernandez
Great location and atmosphere both inside and outside of restaurant. Was very please with the staff and food was ok. The margaritas and drink menu was good.

Reservation for 8 @ 7pm Friday. Crowded; got us in asap but had to wait because waiter Freddy was overworked but good. Strawberry corado was little too sweet for me. Took 13/4 hours

Loved the clam appetizer with garlic bread. Best Rumrunner on ice I've had. Loved the outside seating and water view. Great service. Limited parking, so carpool

Great place for dinner and sunset!! We went on a Tues night, 6pm...not crowded at all... Jose,our server, was spot on all night long. Great guy! Great steaks! Got two of em...served with homestyle mashed and brocc.... Cooked to perfection. And the cocktails were delicious!!! Rum runner sunset and mocha something... Right on a canal with a decent view of sunsets.

The food here is generally good. But it’s not consistent. It’s hit or miss. For this particular visit. We went there for lunch. Got there around 12 noon. We got the lunch menu, which is a little different and less expensive than the dinner menu. I ordered Cayo Costa roll. It is $20 and half the size it used to be although I was very good.. my sister ordered the prime rib sandwich with a side Au jus and she said it was excellent. my husband ordered the salad wedge with blue cheese dressing and $9 and blackened 🦐 shrimp for an additional $12. my brother-in-law ordered the appetizer platter of fruit and meats for $28. It was surprisingly large and quite nice. We got a basket of bread for six dollars. And they give you nothing for free here when we ordered extra sauce for the sushi roll. They charged us $.50 for each of the sauces and my husband ordered blue cheese dressing. There was a charge for that too. The nickel and dime you. we got three iced teas for was $12. We ordered two desserts that were $13 each. We got no alcoholic drinks. Before the tip it came to $133.50. last time we were there the food wasn’t as good as it was this time. the thing about Rumrunners is they are on the water and one of a few restaurants you can go by boat. We had my family visiting and wanted to show them a good time even though it was expensive. For me it was worth it. But it’s not someplace I go regularly. It’s not worth it to me. I really wanted my sister who has a terminal illness to have an enjoyable visit.

Rumrunners is a great spot with a lovely waterfront view and a relaxing atmosphere. I had the fish and chips, which were generously portioned and cooked well, but they felt a bit heavy afterward. The service was attentive, and the vibe was perfect for an evening out. Definitely worth visiting!

One of our favorite pastimes is to sit outside and watch the boat go in and out of the bay. The cocktails are delightful. The food is always delicious.
