Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill, Inc.

It was really good, I accidentally ordered a salad not on through gluten-free menu and became ill, but no fault of the restaurant. They literally mark the gluten free. They are awesome!

The best restaurants with a history continue to maintain tradition and quality... I'm excited to review this restaurant and say that they are upholding both tradition and quality and you can still go back and visit your favorite Rusty bellies knowing that it is still awesome. I personally have never been and grew up in the area knowing about its reputation. I've always heard good things. And those things are spot on... I had the grouper Johnny something which had a cream dill sauce and was fantastic blackened. We ended up eating the green beans with shiitake mushrooms and french fries. Okay. The french fries were okay but the shiitake mushrooms with the green beans were awesome. The other dish I ate was a grouper sushi roll which to my surprise was fantastic. I'm pretty picky about sushi and they had some of the best rice on a sushi roll I've had in a minute. The people I was with had a shrimp seafood boil traditionally Cajun etc. They had a great time with the crab legs and it looked like a blast. We also had the edamame with chili lime seasoning and we liked that a lot. The other appetizer we ate was the artichoke dip with homemade tortilla chips. Our server I believe was named Justin and was really on top of his game. And we even got to sit by the water inside so we had a good view. My one big disappointment is that they didn't offer gluten-free bread. It's such a simple fix and would help a lot of people have sandwiches and other items. It is 2025. I would figure that this restaurant would be on top of things. I do recommend catering to people with dietary needs because they make up a large part of the population now. Especially seniors in the area. Sometimes when I visit a staple restaurant in an area I expect to have a mediocre to maybe a terrible experience, but that wasn't the case this time. I can't wait to go back and visit when it's not as busy. Which maybe never. It looks like they have a large following and quite possibly are always busy. Whatever the case. Kudos to this place for keeping up the hard work. High five!
