I was overwhelmed but we settled on the bbq plate and the shrimp and scallop sandwich with onion rings. Everything was truly amazing. The onion rings were perfect. They had the best crisp! As well as the fries. The sandwich you could taste the flavor the second it hit your mouth. No waiting to chew and swallow. It was instant YUM. I was really craving coleslaw and while it was very fresh and looked great, it was slightly sweet and I personally prefer a more vinegar/savory slaw. I also ordered a coke with my meal and I have a very distinguished and picky palate for GREAT coke. It needs to have the "bite" and the burn, not watered down and sad. This did not disappoint. Every sip I took I had to exclaim. This is great coke! I wish we could go back, but they're closed today, on Monday, and we're leaving the beach. I haven't been this impressed by a restaurant in years. I never expected a beach town "bar food" restaurant to be this amazing. Also. Service was very friendly.

* The atmosphere was great, we double dated and really enjoyed ourselves. We made a reservation and…read morethey were ready when we got there. * The appetizers were very good, but came before we received our drinks. * Our drinks were also very good but by the time our main meal was over we finally received our second drinks.. needless to say it would have been better if the waitress had come back so we could have told her not to worry about them. Getting them and have to then sit and drink them at the end when we wanted to leave was awkward. * Over all the timing of everything was really off. * The main food was very good! The tuna meal and shrimp and grits were fantastic! My brother-in-law and I both had the Mahi (Cobia Korean style?) and his was definitely tastier! If you look at the pictures, mine was the long skinny piece and it was just not a good cut. Kind of tougher and the sauce was very over powering. But his was very good! (We compared bites) * The service started strong but our waitress became hard to come by towards the end. (And they weren't crazy busy, just a normal night) We waited a little too long for her to come back so we could get the check. Would I recommend Rusty's? Yes! I think overall between the atmosphere, the tasty drinks and the main courses were very good! Would I return? Maybe. It didn't blow me away for the overall price but I'm not opposed to it either!

Excellent! We had a party of six, so there was a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it…read more Our waiter was fantastic--not only attentive, but he also had a great personality. (He mentioned he was heading back to school on Sunday, and we wish him all the best!) We started with the calamari, potato skins, and crab artichoke dip. Every appetizer was delicious and a great way to kick off the meal. For dinner, our table ordered the French onion soup, shrimp & crab Alfredo, fried seafood platter, stuffed shrimp, and salads. Everyone loved their meal and commented on the generous portion sizes. Those of us who ordered the crab dishes were especially impressed by how much crab was included--they definitely don't skimp! From the food to the service, everything was excellent. We would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dinner, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

The food here is great, the fried flounder is huge, two big pieces served with fries and Cole slaw which is finally chopped and sweet. My husband had the Mahi special served with lump crabmeat on top, fresh green beans and rice pilaf, said it was best he's had. One of our party had the pork tenderloin with apples and said it was also the best she'd had. The service was wonderful, we had a birthday in our party and were given a piece of peanut butter pie big enough for 6 of us to share. It was delicious. We will be back to Sandbar every year we visit the Island. There was a 20 minute wait, but well worth it.

Cute aesthetic, but that's about where it ends…read more Customer service was a solid 1/10. We waited 30-40 minutes for sandwiches! The staff looked completely lost and disorganized. Foot traffic was steady, not packed, easily snagged a table. The food was basic at best, especially for the price. If the owners aren't here, they probably should be--this place is being run into the ground. No breakfast after 10:30 a.m. on a weekend because the bagels were already "put away" at 10:41 a.m. Seriously? You close at 5 p.m.--breakfast all day would make a lot more sense. And can we talk about the fact that it's 2026... where the f is the Wi-Fi? Cute for Instagram, not so much for the actual experience. Hope they figure it out.
