The history of this family-owned landmark goes back over 50 years to the early days of sight-seeing boats, Seminole Indians wrestlin'gators, and even a beer drinking pig! Back then, patrons included Arthur Godfrey, Frances Langford, Ginny Simms and Ralph Evinrude. Now, famous faces such as Armand Assante, Jimmy Buffet, Johnny Depp, Dan Marino and a few others occasionally pop in to indulge.

If you look closely, you may be able to spot a celebrity in the midst. The original Rustic Inn™ Crabhouse began as a roadhouse saloon. As time went by, our hole-in-the-wall grew up, keeping with the demand for steamed crabs, linguini with homemade sauces and other popular dishes. Then one night, a customer tasted a crab cooked in the owner's secret family recipe, a taste that would soon revolutionize crabs as we know them. Hence, our World Famous Garlic Crabs™ and the Craze began.

We feel we've created a taste that can't be matched. Our World Famous Garlic Crabs™ are known the world over. We invite you and your family to see what a legend is all about. Enjoy waterfront dining on our dock, visit our barge, cocktail lounge, or intimate dining room. We serve lunch and dinner and accept all major credit cards. Dress casual, because you just might be cracking crabs on newspaper-covered tables using our wooden mallets. But don't worry, wear one of our fashionable bibs.

Sound like fun? It is! We guarantee a unique experience...and you can take home all the memories you want.
