Had a fantastic lunch at the Rustic Inn in Fort Lauderdale! We sat outside with a lovely water view — the perfect casual setting to relax and enjoy the Florida vibes. Service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and quick.
We tried a variety of dishes, starting with fried alligator and fried frog legs, both crispy and flavorful. The clam chowder was rich and creamy, a great starter. The highlight was definitely the Crab Sampler, which included their World Famous Garlic Crab Clusters, Dungeness Garlic Crab Clusters, and Alaska Queen Crab Legs — all served with perfectly seasoned parsley buttered potatoes. The garlic flavor was bold and delicious without overpowering the sweet, tender crab meat.
Whether you’re in the mood for a laid-back lunch or a casual dinner by the water, this place is a winner. We’ll definitely be back!
