Cream of Crab Soup
Travis M.

I had the crab soup. Coastal dreaming and tongue slapping is this cream of crab soup. This is why food memories marinate in your mind. One spoonful and you're engulfed with a bowl that feels like a warm seaside hug. Rich and silky texture that lets every drop (and crab pieces) cling to your spoon. The crab is generous, sweet, and unmistakably fresh, briny joy. What I loved most was how the seasoning danced with cream without being heavy. Flavorful with a whisper of the sea that never got fishy or overdone. Pair it with the side of bread that has to be ordered separately. Nathan is an amazing server and sometimes offer you some kitchen secrets aka (sweet butter). I would give it full stars if a lil heat had been added...but that's my palette. Awesome outdoor atmosphere with plenty of seating to look over the water and a tiki bar. Must visit!!

Miami Vice
Taylor H.

The food was amazing and they were able to see two people as soon as we walked in even on a very busy night. The clams with the garlic butter sauce were amazing the fresh bread to die for! Also, a very generous, jumbo lump crabcake with no filler best food that we have had since we've been here the Miami Vice is also delicious both alcoholic and nonalcoholic! We were here for a week and we've eaten here twice! Also on the water so a beautiful view!

Crab dip

Great service, I think her name was Maggie and she was newer. Fresh mahi was the catch of the day. Cooked well. Great drinks. Went at lunch and were seated by the water. It has a nice screened in area. I think it was a good place for lunch with kids. Server was very nice to our son.

Crab Legs

We always LOVE coming to Rusty Hooks; Maggie is our favorite - the BEST service and such a sweet personality! The castaway appetizer is always AMAZING.

Skippers punch

I'm updating my previous review after speaking with one one of with the owners regarding recipe, etc. about crab cakes, soup, rum pirate drinks with a party of 5. I appreciate his willingness to invite us back for a meal! Zachary was a great waiter who patiently answered all of our many questions. Also, enjoyed the live music on the deck.

Meal was ok, crab soup very good, but over $7.00 for a sliver of cheesecake.....really? Over $65.00 for 2, for bar food. with only 1 beer.
