Wow what a lovely evening. We are from UK. Been looking for was to coming here. No live music tonight BUT awesome food served by great staff. Wonderful place great value for money. Coming back Thursday for semi finals of music competition....woop woop
First time here ever. It was a Saturday. Came to see the Rayford Bros. Wasn't crowded. I like that. It was very chill and laid back. Perfect to just sit back relax and enjoy a few drinks. Forgot to ask for the signature drink which seems to be the blue iguana margarita. Must try. Had a few Jack and coke pretty good. Overall I enjoyed the experience. Bartender was attentive and friendly. Nothing too flashy, fancy, or over the top. Decor was fitting for the location. I have nothing negative to say my friends and I really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely will go back. Might just turn into a regular hangout spot.
Good food and good service. I would gladly recommend this place to any of my friends.
Great service with fast food that was delicious. I would recommend the fish and chips. Nice drink specials
Had a great time Rusty's, food was excellent, service was great. Our server Emily was fantastic. We were with a group of twenty and Emily never missed a beat with our food or drinks. You need more like her, she is an asset to your establishment.
Superb food. Amazing Staff. Totally the best place to eat at the pier.
Super friendly staff. Excellent service. It my new favorite place to go when in the Santa Monica pier. Thank you for being so nice to our daughter.
Stop there for a quick lunch and a cocktail lunch was served promptly I had shrimp which was cooked to perfection along with a margarita ..
The food is great and it's been a while that I haven't been here!!! Awesome place to eat 🍔🍟🍗🍤🥗
Service was great and the food was amazing!! The portions were bigger than we expected! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the burger (and I loved his fries)! ��.
Great atmosphere! Great server! Great nachos! Great price! What else can I say?
Happy hour $5 blue margaritas! Good service. Nice view on the patio.
While strolling along the pier, I was drawn to this appealing restaurant. The sounds of laughter and singing emanating from the place piqued my interest. The enticing smell of fried seafood sealed the deal.
I ordered the coconut shrimp, fried calamari and onion rings. This might have been the best coconut shrimp I've ever had - succulent, sweet, and well-seasoned. I was thoroughly impressed. The calamari was tender and had a great breading.
I highly recommend it.
We stopped by for lunch and what a pleasant surprise. Bring your appetite when you come here. We all enjoyed our lunches and believe it or not finished it all. The Fish and Chips filled up a 20 year old UCLA student, the Shrimp and Chips had really large shrimp. I got the Caesar Salad with grilled Salmon. I requested not to overcook the fish and it was cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that some of the Romaine was brown and slimy, and it was swimming in dressing. My bad, I should have got it on the side. The salmon more than made up for it. Also, the music was excessively loud making it difficult to talk. I would come back, a decent value for the quality and quantity. Stop on by ; )
Bar staff knows how to be fun!! Same time keeping everything moving 💃 Beautiful semi crowded day and we felt like we were the only ones there. Spread kindness like Rusty’s ❤️⭐️
All of the food was AMAZING! We had the muscles/clams, a burger, and the salmon with salad & potatoes. Super friendly staff, fast service, and great atmosphere! Would absolutely ear here again & 100% recommend.
We had an ocean view while we had lunch. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent! The shrimp was very large and delicious.
My sister and I (who are from Ohio) were venturing to the Santa Monica Pier and stopped in a few times to order drinks from the bartenders. They were so down to earth and personable. We had two bartenders compete in a drink off. They made us both old fashions and we judged them on it. We had a great time! If you ever want to stop in for a great drink, ask for Beardy and Shelly!! :)
We craved for Fish & Chips at the Santa Monica Pier, and we also ordered a side dish of fried Calamari. Our order included refillable drinks.
It was my birthday on Karaoke night on September 2nd 2023. The atomosphere was so welcoming that I got up to do karaoke for the first time ever !! Everyone was so friendly , the drinks were fire, the bartenders were the best and the food was great. The karaoke DJ was awesome too !:)
Visited here with my cousin, and I really wanted to eat seafood on the pier. We came here after a quick Google search and we loved it! We split a crawfish boil (cousin can confirm it was decent) and got fruity cocktails that were potent! Atmosphere was gorgeous and we had people checking on us to see if we need anything. I highly recommend this and want to come back
The food, drinks, and bartenders were absolutely amazing. It truly added to my fantastic trip.
Rusty’s is a chill and laid back lol joint on the Santa Monica Pier. Perfect view, quick and friendly service. I’d go back again
Very good food, I would recommend this if you’re coming here to Santa Monica for the first time.
Came here for the first time while visiting Santa Monica on a Thursday evening. Was a refreshing experience to order at the cashier before sitting down. We ordered the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious and just the perfect size. The seafood was well made and tasted fresh. They even had a live DJ which really added to the ambience. The service was very friendly and we would definitely come back. Highly recommend this restaurant for a bite to eat.
Very cool place on Santa Monica Pier and tasty food.
The night was quite cold, but the outdoor seats were heated so we enjoyed the sunset and early night. Good choice of food and drinks and decent prices. Recommended!
Margarita and a Steak & Cheese. Absolutely amazing on both accounts. Atmosphere is great. We sat outside overlooking the pier and ocean. Very reasonably priced for being on the pier itself.
Panoramic location few steps away from the entrance to the Pier. Small outdoor tables, but with excellent views and a characteristic internal room. Wide choice on the menu, friendly staff, but no table service.
Cory assisted me and my friend at all time also I left my bag and he went above and beyond to make sure my bag was handled to the driver to be delivered to my hotel and for that I’m grateful. Thank you!! Cory… I will see you when I come back again. ❤️ very much appreciated.
