Delicious!! We got the chicken and waffles, wings and the smokehouse? Burger. Our waitress Gina was really helpful and sweet, working the dining room all by herself and handling it so well! Rusty came out and introduced himself and checked on all of the customers which was great to see. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also really nice, our first time going and won’t be our last! Well worth it

It was Sunday and not a lot from which to choose, since we found most restaurants are closed on Sundays. Luckily, we found Rusty’s and, although it was their final opening of the season before they shut down for a month, we wound up having the best meal of our long weekend. Some items were not available, but we found plenty of options. Hush puppies were great. My wife had the veggie stir fry with cashews which was excellent. I had a mahi-mahi special with an Asian glaze that was the best piece of fish I’ve had in a long while. Kat, our server, took great care of us, even though the restaurant appeared short handed. We’ll go back again on our next trip maybe more than once.

Our group of 8 ate at Rusty’s our last night on the island and had a great time. Service was excellent and the food fresh and delicious. Our 2 year old granddaughter was with us and our server brought her a bowl of noodles right away to keep her happy. We shared an assortment of seafood appetizers and the mahi entree 5 of us had was excellent. The bar did a nice job on the mixed drinks and have 5 craft beers on tap. Not on the water if you are looking for that ambiance but interior is spacious and nicely decorated. Prices are fair for the quality of the food. We will be back.

Great food, but disappointing experience. We gathered for my Father’s 70th Birthday (to be a surprise) brought a cake to the front before meal and they said they would bring it out. And the end of the meal the waiter comes out and says someone brought a cake. Then said it cost $5 dollars a plate if you want to eat it here. That was the first time we heard that and there was the surprise. Asked in front of my dad, what do you want to do? I said fine, they brought out plates and forks, we pulled the cake out of the cooler we brought it in and we took it out and cut it ourselves.

I went on a family vacation to the outer banks and had to stop at Rusty’s because some friends had recommended it, it was the best experience at a restaurant I have had in a long time! Our waitress was the sweetest little thing and we were very well taken care of. The owner actually came out to our table and made sure everything was great! We ordered drinks (definitely try the Rusty’s Mermaid), they came out so fast and were so delicious!
