Rusty's Seafood And Oyster Bar

Larry Gross

This is one of the Port Canaveral restaurants adjacent to the cruise terminal, which can be dicey on a Saturday night as it can be very busy. Something else to be aware of is Rusty's doesn't take reservations; it's first come, first served. We were fortunate enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant and even more fortunate to be seated immediately. The decor is pretty much what you'd expect at a dockside restaurant. The menu has a well-rounded selection of seafood offerings, both grilled and fried. Tonight's special was the Surf n Turf with a substitution of a lobster tail for an extra $4. Sold! It also includes a side salad, which I had the key-lime vinaigrette. My wife kept it simple with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a spinach salad. We also ordered the recommended Gator Bites as an appetizer. As it was very busy, our food did take some time, but it was still a reasonable wait. Everything looked good when it came out. The Gator Bites had a spicy dip that was very good. The sirloin was tender but a little flat on the taste, but the lobster made up for it. My wife's clam chowder was good, and her salad was very good with the house vinaigrette. Overall, we had a good time. The service was excellent and the food was good. Enjoy!

Knowing we were docking at Port Canaveral, we decided to get off the ship and have some lunch. After careful consideration, we chose Rusty's cause we wanted raw oysters. This was a nice relaxed spot, and our server was Cole. He was absolutely amazing! Would definitely return in the future due to good food and great people.
