Rustic Inn Crabhouse - Fort Lauderdale

Came here with my family and really enjoyed all the seafood! Portions are huge. We started off with two dozen oysters (so fresh and flavorful). My brother and I shared the Alaskan king crab and crab sampler. The crab was fantastic, and we shared quite a big with our family since it was so much food!! The rest of my family shared the seafood pasta and appetizer sampler, which all 6 of them finished together. It was plenty of food for sure!! My family has a huge appetite and we had a hard time towards the end finishing everything!! This place is super fun to come to as a family. Service was great as well.

I can say the garlic crab here is so so good! Must try if you are in the area. We tried lunch combo crab (forget the name) but they should know what it is if you want to order. They only have one lunch combo crab in the menu. It was good! We tried grilled blackened mahi2 wasn't really good and prefer the fried seafood platter. The fried scallops was good. They also have some weekday special that you should check it out. The restaurant itself is unique has a bit of older vibes. They have bar sections but we sat outdoor, was the best decision. We saw some boat come in and out the small river from the sea I guess. And you can actually park your boat to eat there.

This is a must go seafood destination in South Florida. It doesn't matter if you're local or visiting, it's worth going. You can sit outside and watch the boats come and go, or cool off inside with lots of sitting. The crabs are big and tasty, and they have amazing crab cakes. There must have been 4 birthdays while I was there today, with laughs and great energy. Grab a shirt while you are there.

Server Steve is the best! I've been here a few times and always got great service but Steve had my friend thinking something must be wrong because he was that great. I even noticed how he served another table demonstrating how to open some of the crab legs. Hats off to Steve!

This place has been around for a while. The fish was fresh. Shrimp and crab were also good. The sides the potatoes, were bland and way too buttery. This place is a classic but not something I can rave about. Service is average. Drinks are average. It?s a staple in history but aside from the actual seafood, everything else isn?t all that. However, it pays to have some drone fish with some nice outside view of the water.
