Closed

Operating since 1955, Rustic Inn Crabhouse is an iconic Fort Lauderdale seafood institution celebrated for its famous garlic butter crabs and fresh wild-caught seafood. In addition to king crab legs and their garlic crab boil, highlights include the SOS sandwich with fried shrimp and scallops, spicy lobster fra diavolo, and homemade key lime pie.

Commenters overwhelmingly praise this South Florida staple, with many noting it is well worth driving hours to visit. While dishes like the garlic crabs, oysters Rockefeller, and clam chowder receive rave reviews, some diners observe that portion sizes have shrunk compared to past decades.

  • Order the signature garlic butter crab boil or king crab legs
  • Don't skip the lobster fra diavolo or the SOS sandwich packed with fried shrimp and scallops
  • Try the oysters Rockefeller and clam chowder as starters
  • Save room for their homemade key lime pie for dessert
