My Grandson and I Loved it ,, The food was Delicious , excellent gumbo and fresh fish , Great Service, and the Key Lime Pie was the best I’ve ever had
Great place eat and sit by the water and watch the ships and we saw Dolphins playing in the water while we ate
This place was amazing and treated us like we were very special guests and cooked our fresh fish that we caught ourselves. They even stayed late and made me a great Birthday dessert. We will be back and will tell everyone about the wonderful hospitality and food.
If I was still in Cape Canaveral I would be eating at Rusty’s again tonight lol We have travelled on to St Augustine but I would love some more fish and chips. The food was delicious, the waitress was so helpful and cheerful. The views were amazing! Love this place 😀💕
We had the best time at Rusty’s tonight. We were there celebrating my daughters 22nd birthday tomorrow.... our waitress Lori was best, she was so much fun as well as being great with our orders. Thank you Rusty’s, we will be back
We also had Amanda for our waitress. Just me and my husband. I don't eat seafood but there was a few things for people like me. I ended up with one of the very best burgers I ever had!!! Fresh mushrooms great pickles, and fries!
Food was good, server was nice, average price for good seafood, view was great. They were very slow getting our order taken. But that is the only negative we had.
Friendly, excellent staff and an awesome place to eat and Chillax !!! The atmosphere is superb ! I could go on but you get it. 😎
Rusty’s is a great location in the port and has awesome outside seating. Enjoyed the crab legs and the mojitos! They were delicious. Service was great and so is the view.

Service is great the food is good good music while I was there.Sitting by the water and watching the cruise
ships leave is very �
*Our visit started with our host clearing a recently evacuated table by the water quickly for us because my husband mentioned I love to watch the ships come in. We didn't request this, our host took this extra step for us - such a nice gesture as I only get to the coast once a year if that.
*Our waiter was phenomenal, quick and made sure every need was met. We were very impressed; he made the experience even that much better!
*The food was delicious; we had a couple appetizers and entrees and all were perfect.

This is one of the Port Canaveral restaurants adjacent to the cruise terminal, which can be dicey on a Saturday night as it can be very busy. Something else to be aware of is Rusty's doesn't take reservations; it's first come, first served.
We were fortunate enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant and even more fortunate to be seated immediately. The decor is pretty much what you'd expect at a dockside restaurant. The menu has a well-rounded selection of seafood offerings, both grilled and fried. Tonight's special was the Surf n Turf with a substitution of a lobster tail for an extra $4. Sold! It also includes a side salad, which I had the key-lime vinaigrette. My wife kept it simple with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a spinach salad. We also ordered the recommended Gator Bites as an appetizer.
As it was very busy, our food did take some time, but it was still a reasonable wait. Everything looked good when it came out. The Gator Bites had a spicy dip that was very good. The sirloin was tender but a little flat on the taste, but the lobster made up for it. My wife's clam chowder was good, and her salad was very good with the house vinaigrette.
Overall, we had a good time. The service was excellent and the food was good. Enjoy!
Knowing we were docking at Port Canaveral, we decided to get off the ship and have some lunch. After careful consideration, we chose Rusty's cause we wanted raw oysters. This was a nice relaxed spot, and our server was Cole. He was absolutely amazing! Would definitely return in the future due to good food and great people.
Great experience overall!! Marie was awesome and she took wonderful care of our party. Great food, great service and a great ambiance!! We will definitely be coming back soon!

I, 100%, cannot recommend Rusty's enough. Seriously. I eat at a boatload of different types of restaurants in an even bigger boatload of locations and settings every year and Rusty's is, unequivocally, #1 on that list.
We've cruised out of Port Canaveral several times and we discovered Rusty's on our first one and have planned a day around having dinner there on every visit.
Situated directly on the water, it's an absolutely fantastic place for a meal. There's a large outdoor seating area with wind shades (for windy days), and views of the entirety of the port and the docks directly across the water where recovery ships bring back rocket parts from launches.
Rusty's menu is huge and it's really, REALLY hard to chose. I find the best way to start is with an ice cold draft craft beer...local preferably.
I can highly recommend the fish tacos and the Grouper. The Grouper (photo included) was cooked to perfection and seasoned (I had blackened) beyond just right.
The service has always been great. The servers all seem to be having a great time and to love what they do. (Then again, who wouldn't be happy working right next to the water?). We've never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for our meals (even on a Friday dinner), and Kevin (our most recent server) was spot-on with drink refills and menu recommendations.
On our most recent visit there was a gentleman on the stage playing guitar and singing. It lent a fun, laid back element to an already great experience.
Kevin also informed us that if we were to ever go on a fishing trip and caught something, Rusty's will process and cook the fish for you for only $7.99 a pound. That, alone, makes me want to do that very thing the next time we head to Port Canaveral for a cruise.
One of the highlights of our pre-cruise routine is our visit to Rusty's. Whether for a late lunch or dinner, it's on our Must Do list. Now I just need to book a cruise that leaves from Port Canaveral.
Great location, great view (right on the water), live music which was great and not too loud, excellent service, and my wife and I both got the crab legs which were delicious.
We got lucky and were having dinner during a rocket launch so we got to see the launch happen right in front of us and the boosters land back down.
There was also a dock cat that came by our table and paid us a little visit.
Visited with my wife on a Wednesday for lunch. We sat in the patio, and even though it was very windy, the protective clear plastic made it the perfect place to sit. We were greeted promptly, and our drink order was taken. Drinks came quickly. We ordered a cup of clam chowder, fish and chips with fries, and Caesar and chicken wrap with fries.
The order came quite quickly. If you are picky about your chowder, be warned, this isn't that. What it is is creamy and delicious. The Caesar and chicken wrap was full of chicken, very tasty. The fish and chips were crispy and great tasting.
Overall, the food gets a 10. The service also gets a ten, not a busy day, though. The atmosphere and friendliness, too, get a ten. Definitely will be back within a week. Everything, including drinks, about $54
This restaurant was recommended by the Roswell Global group as a preferred place to dine while in town. They certainly did not disappoint with their Grouper Finger Basket with. Sweet Potato fries! Excellent food, quick service.
Love being out on the water, Saw a manatees went by. Food was really good, the Korean tacos were awesome! Lobster bisque average at best. Spinach dip was really good. The blackened shrimp tacos were pretty good too.
The best part was we got to see another SpaceX rocket parked in the harbor!
Our server was jenci and she was absolutely amazing. Super friendly and gave us pointers on what to order.
The food was very very good and came our super fast. Great place to have a nice dinner with live music. The outside overlooks the water which adds to the charm.
And if you're lucky you will see a spacex booster going by.
Great place on the Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach Area. Awesome to watch the ships pull out of Port. Fresh Mahi was amazing. Clam chowder was also very good. Was lucky to get the first cup out of a new batch. My part also had a blackend chicken sandwhich, Chicken Wrap, and Pasta with Mariniara. Everyone enjoyed. Definitely try the Key Lime pie, some of the best I've ever had. Overall amazing experience.
