Rustic Inn Crabhouse

It is a bit far from downtowns and beaches . But, don't let this deter you! The food is great, and they have waterfront seating. If you craving some seafood , you will be pleasantly surprised here.

Go crab crazy: get the sampler plate -- big enough for 2 people -- and a crab salad sandwich . Sit outdoors overlooking the canal . And definitely wear a bib.

FRICK'N AWESOME!! Best crabs I have ever had. Get the crab sampler for two, it's AMAZING!! The garlic crabs are to die for ???? Key West shrimp is VERY good. Get the cornbread too, very yummy ????❤️

60+yr celeb go-to & A MUST-GO FOR CRAB ❤️’ers! Expect wait, casual svc & loud mallets . Get BEST ALASKAN KING CRAB in US (from “Deadliest Catch!”)! Went 3X IN 1 TRIP..yes, it’s that great!

Stone Claw Crab , Dungenous Crabs , Alaskan King are all amazing. Raw Oysters are huge and fresh (...served properly with horseradish and cocktail sauce ). Great seafood , Have fun with the mallets ;)

The Rustic Inn is a Fort Lauderdale landmark : After 55 years in business, the cavernous restaurant is still packed daily with folks looking to release their aggression on the backs of blue crabs .

Great old school seafood restaurant . If there’s a wait, just wait. It’s worth it. They have everything. Lots of butter too. Not fancy , full bar , plenty of free parking .

OMG... The lunch combo platter is amazing. For $15.99 you get two types of crab , crab cake , fries , cole slaw , and grilled veggies . Stuffed but so worth it! Mmm garlic

Florida crab claws are in season Oct-May and delicious. Fun fact: when a crab claw is harvested the crab lives on! Goodbye to righty one year then lefty the next. Painful but sustainable!

Got the Admiral platter, it was heavenly. Steak was cooked just right, not fatty and the Alaskan King Crab was perfect and plentiful. Great place to have a fun friend or family meal!

Seafood lovers paradise! The Alaskan King Crabs are mouth watering & very filling. Try the seasoned potatoes & conch fritters , you won't be disappointed. No need dressing up, go casual as you feel.

Rustic Inn is a fun place to go especially for someone who isn't from South Florida. The only bad thing is that they don't have Florida lobster , which sucks if you're trying to be authentic .

Crab , crab and more crab . If you have a serious seafood craving then this is the absolute best place to go !

Best of Broward 2013- Best Kid Friendly Restaurant : Rustic Inn . Don't worry about your kids screaming and embarrassing you in public because at Rustic Inn , they won't even be heard. Read more

Alaska King Crab , oysters , all diferent kind of crab yo can think of. Be prepared to get all into the butter and come hungry.

What a fun place to eat! We shared a crab sampler and worked very hard and enjoyed every moment. We also shared a bottle of their house wine , woodbridge cabernet . Key lime pie was great, too

Best place to go in south Florida if you have a seafood craving. Huge menu with a lot of delicious options! Very casual place ..

You need to order the king crab legs or the stone crabs . Both are excellent. The seafood pasta is delicious and gigantic.

Mmm I'm a Marylander so I'm very picky about crabs . Was excited to see that they had Maryland crab , then disappointed that they actually didn't. Still an amazing dinner ! Great kickoff to my birthday.

Appetizer: Fisherman's Platter. Soup : Conch Chowder . Entree: lobster Fra Diavolo, but only if you're sharing it or you can take home the leftovers, because you WILL have them. Excellent.

Garlic crab , golden crab ! It's all good. Bisque was so so.

Very casual place in terms of dress code, but best crab I've ever tasted. Ask the table next to water and don't wear dress . Oysters were also delicious!

Enjoy waterfront dining on the dock while savoring world famous garlic crabs . Be sure to check out the kids menu , perfect for family outings !

This is a great place to have seafood , especially crabs ! The Garlic Dungeness Crab which they are known for is fantastic!! I would fly back to Ft. Lauderdale just for this!

A great little crab place set right on the intercoastal. A little out of the way but worth the drive.

Super Lobster Roll with Coleslaw and a Pickle . Ask for it without a roll with lettuce and its a good low carb option .

Sit outside on the dock for the best ambiance. And don't you dare leave without wolfing down the best Key Lime Pie in the world!

Best place to go if you have a seafood craving. Huge menu with a lot of delicious options! Very casual place ..

was a bit noisy but overall great fun and excellent food. The stuffed jumbo shrimp was awesome.

Great selection for crabs . Used to be cheaper and got more for your $$ but then again what place isn't like that these days. Market prices as of 4/25/13:

It’s a casual place , don’t dress up. The food is amazing! Be prepared to eat with your hands

Restaurant is unique, refurbished barge, sits on the water. Mouthwatering crab . Bibs and mallets aplenty. Don't wear nice clothes ...

4 ppl, 5 appetizers(fried calamari , fried frog legs , fried alligators , conch and half dozens of oysters ), 3 orders of garlic crabs , plus 4 soft drinks and beers = $176.xx...

Awesome! Great meal selections. Good portions. Sinks in dining area to wash hands after seafood feast!

Nice place to have a different moment, good food... Worth the visit...

Everything is good honestly. The food has that fresh sea taste.

Messy place to have the best crab legs and oysters ! Friendly staff

Garlic Golden Crabs are good. The Butterflied Shrimp were previous beaded and frozen. Ribs were microwaved. Just stick with the crabs .

Oysters are amazing, king and queen crab also...

This place should be a 10. Expect to get messy and be sure to get garlic grabs. Best seafood .

Crabs , crabs , and more crabs . But also try the lobster Fra Diablo pasta

The World Famous Golden Crabs is hands down the best crab I've ever eaten. And I've eaten a LOT of crab !

Mahi was significantly overcooked and tartar (?) sauce was...not good. Ribs were tender, and fries and coleslaw were pretty good. Biggest issue: Birthday parties are serenaded with pounding mallets .

Can’t go wrong with garlic dungeoness and the stuffed shrimp !

I enjoyed the Maryland Crab cakes . The crab cakes were full of crab , moist and flavorful.:-)

Best crab ! Love the atmosphere and the mallets . Always hit this spot when I'm in the area!!

Best crab legs I've ever had! Got the dungeness. Lobster tail was overlooked though, stick with the crab .

Garlic crab ! Yes! The corn ! Conch ! Yummy ! Bloody Mary !

Absolutely delicious. the blackened dolphin was amazing. Soups are good too. Def going back there
