I always forget there's a Rusty's right here on Daniel's, it's so hidden. Every time my dad is in town, he likes to come here to vibe. The food is bar food. I feel like the vibes are mainly to drink and talk, total dive bar. I have never had a bad time, the service is good and the food is decent.

I ordered the fried shrimp basket with loaded tots and coleslaw. The fried shrimp and loaded tots were very good and the slaw was average. Good sweet iced tea also.

We were soooo impressed with this place tonight Wow, wow, wow We had our flights canceled today and have to stay another 2 days, so we decided to have a bite to eat. The lady at the reception told us about Rusty's, and that they have great food. We said we will give it a try, and WOW we did not get disappointed As soon as we walked in, u felt the positive vibe already, ALL the staff were soooo super friendly and the 2 ladies that were hosting the "game show" were phenomenal, sooo sweet. it made the evening for our family sooo much fun Thank u for that Now to the food, my redfish was AMAZING along with the aspargus ( one of the best i ever had, and i had alot coming from germany) and that really, really fresh coleslaw, just yummy The mussels one of one my girls, were delicious along with the wrap and the burgers and phillycheesesteak Thank u again for this wonderful eve

Came here for a quick lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was wonderful. We ordered fried calamari which were spot on. They melted in your mouth! Super tender and fresh. We also shared the gator bites which were large nuggets also super tender and fresh with a interesting zesty sauce. Highly recommend. Our entrees came with salads, which were okay. The fish and chips and mahi tacos are awesome. I would dine here again! If I had to complain about one thing it would be they put cheese on everything. But , no big deal! Totally recommend!

Went there with GF and friend and pup. First time at this Rusty's. I usually go to the Cape Coral Rusty's. This one was a different vibe. A great place for beer and some cocktails. The staff is very friendly. The food is good. They're pet friendly. It was for fun on the patio in the late afternoon so we went inside, but came back out to the patio because why not? There's a bunch of hotels in the area and the airport is about 5 minutes away.
