Nice place, I have visited it last year with my boyfriend, by the way due to the post on http://www.weddingforward.com
I truly love this restaurant! The variety of items on the menu keep you
thinking about what you want the next time.

Manny and Brian are the servers I usually request The past 10 years when I go in there very attentive, great with kids, and just good at what they do. The past two years the service has gone down significantly they lost some of their long time best servers even the hostesses don't even smile and give you this face when you greet them. I've been coming here my whole life so almost 40 years at least 15 times a year the food has never changed except that they don't split the crab for you anymore other than that you can always expect to get A really good meal no matter what you order
And if you complain about the food you're probably just a real complainer because there's nothing to complain about and I've had everything on the menu.

Great food and the atmosphere was so much fun. Crab and steak were cooked perfectly. Smashing the shells with wooden hammers was fun too!

I love this place, food is great! Fresh and Fun place!
Don't come here thinking you'll have wonderful conversation over a Glass of white wine; come with the idea it's loud, brash and garlicky!
This is not fine dining; this is good food and a fun place. This is the original Idea that "Joe's Crab Shack" stole from the Rustic Inn.
Service is fast and interactive...Embrace it!
If you want soft music and a pretentious waiter; go anywhere else. If you want great food…you’re at the right place.

You get to make lots of noise and eat buttery garlic crab. It doesn't get better. Especially nice for B-Days.

A novel concept! Smashing crabs on a table with a hammer. Great seafood!

This place was awesome! My fiancé & I are always searching for a place like this back home to no avail. It was great food & excellent service. We will be back :)

This crabhouse really delivers on great food, no frills, and a relaxed environment. The golden crabs (that I never knew existed) are a special treat! Be sure to order them dry - it's less messy and the sweetness of the crab really shines,

This place has a dock and thats just the place to eat. When you arrive or even when setting a reservation ask to sit on the dock and while eatting you get to see the fish come by to eat. My girlfriend and i love this place and eat their about 3 times a month and not just on the weekends. This is a anytime place to eat even for take-out and fun for the whole family if there is one place in Broward to eat it's here. hope to see you their we will be on the dock

I love the Rustic Inn, the crab is fresh and fabulous, a litle on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.

Bring your earplugs to muffle the sound of joyous diners munching on the tastiest crabs you ever had!
