You walk-in, look through the menu, and then go place your order. The atmosphere was nice.Food: shrimp cocktail was a 3 out of 5. It was too small for the price, the flavor was just okay, Not worth the $$. Tacos: 3 out of 5, they were just okay. Calamari: was good but chewy, 4 out of 5. Steak and potato, good 4 out of 5. Fried shrimp: 5 out of 5. The shrimp was the best compared to the other meals. Salad was good,

First time coming here and the staff was helpful to explain the meaning of the buzz when getting your drink or food.

The food is really good.I've had a couple of things to eat from this fine establishment and I am looking forward to more. The service is on point everyone is welcoming and the food is prepared in a swift manner. And as for the ambiance It's located on the Santa Monica pier. Enough said. Enjoy.

Horrible food. I ordered fish & chips which came with bad seasoning. The fish & chips on the kids menu came with a LOT of seasoning and was undercooked (what child eats seasoned food?). The soda came all messed up…the diet coke tasted like something else, coca cola brothers…the bartender said it was just like that and there was nothing to do…

This is one of my favorite places ! Staff is incredibly friendly and know how to treat a local! Great drink specials - all day happy hour. Cool vibe to sit on pier and watch tourists and the view. Awesome leather sofas and chairs, classic arcade games. Coconut shrimp and chicken sandwich is a winner. Love everything about this place, include floor staff who set aside my jacket when I left it and have it back to me when I came back a wk later (I didn't even know I lost it until then) Best Crew on the Pier !

While looking for a drink on the pier, my boyfriend and I went into Rusty’s and were greeted warmly by Craig. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, there was a great drink menu, and the service was excellent.
