Dining Hacks for Rusty Surf & Turf

1. Outdoor Dining Options:
Due to the summer heat, most guests prefer our air-conditioned indoor seating, so online reservations for outdoor dining are currently unavailable. If you’re open to dining outside and the reservation portal shows no availability, give us a call—we may have an outdoor table for you!
2. Last-Minute Dining:
Forgot to reserve? Check our online portal for openings. Guests sometimes cancel or adjust plans, freeing up tables for rebooking.
3. Large Groups (18+):
For parties of 18 or more, please call us a day or two in advance. We love hosting large groups, but they require special planning. Our OpenTable portal doesn’t provide the flexibility needed for bigger parties.

Why do I always wear Hawaiian Aloha shirts at our restaurant? They’re my way of blending Southern hospitality with the spirit of aloha. More than just fabric, these vibrant shirts symbolize welcoming every guest like family, whether through a warm chat or a friendly smile. Southern hospitality means making folks feel at home, while Aloha brings love, respect, kindness, compassion, positive attitude and connection. Together, they reflect my commitment to creating a kind, vibrant community right here at Rusty's Surf and Turf

Join us this evening at Rusty's Surf and Turf! We're serving fresh Cobia with Caribbean spices, mango salsa, sticky rice, and green beans. Our crab cakes, made with jumbo lump crab meat and minimal filler, are baked to perfection—frying just wouldn't do them justice!
We are open this evening, close tomorrow. Next week we will switch the day we close to Tuesday. Aloha

I know everyone is excited to get to the fireworks and other festivities this evening, so we're going to open up an hour early, 4:00 p.m.

Please make a reservation, it's going to be a crazy night around here. Last night we weren't able to take any additional walk-ins and I expect the for same tonight
