Rustic Inn Crab Home, a candy hideaway simply off the crushed path in Fort Lauderdale is simply because the title counsel, a seafood restaurant with a country flare. I can not inform you that it’s the finest seafood restaurant in Fort Lauderdale since I’ve not been to all of them, however I can inform you it has an excellent environment, gives waterfront eating, and it’s not too removed from the Fort Lauderdale – Hollywood Airport.
We went on a weekday at round 6:30 p.m. The principle eating room was closed however the patio was open for seating. We checked in with the hostess and was seated in the direction of the wall as a substitute by the water, as there are two rows one in the direction of the water and the opposite in the direction of the wall. We had been seated by the wall however as quickly as the parents throughout from us received up from their desk we requested to be seated there. If it wasn’t my first time going it in all probability wouldn’t have mattered however on this case I needed to be close to the water for extra causes than one.
The Menu
From the menu you possibly can select from a wide range of seafood objects. Appetizers included objects corresponding to fried calamari, contemporary oysters, Key West Shrimp, frog legs, sure frog legs, and imagine it or not there was additionally fried alligators on the menu, in addition to conch salad and extra. Then there may be the number of mouth watering entrées just like the Crab Sampler which is made up of various kinds of crabs served with parslied potatoes, Alaskan King Crab Legs or the one which I selected Dungeness Garlic Crabs.
The Dungeness Garlic Crabs comes served drenched in a buttery garlic sauce, and it’s additionally served with an extra bowl of garlic sauce. Trying on the picture on the menu I questioned if the crabs I ordered can be ample sufficient to fill me up as a result of I seen that it wasn’t served with some other facet objects like among the others. So due to that I ordered a Caesar Salad to begin with, however to my shock it was greater than sufficient crab than I may deal with. I ended up having to take some dwelling. I believe it was greater than sufficient crabs legs for two folks, about 6 clusters of juicy, buttery, and fleshy mouthwatering crabs. I can nonetheless style and odor them as a I sit right here writing about it. My favourite components are the claws as a result of they’re crammed with all that meaty goodness 🤤.
Okay again to the menu… Different decisions included Complete Broiled Lobster, Lobster Rolls, Filet of Mahi-Mahi, and The home Specials. In addition they serve up pasta dishes and for you none seafood lovers in addition they provide steak and rooster. There’s additionally a children menu for the little ones. As well as you possibly can select from a number of wines, cocktails, and frozen drinks in addition to non-alcoholic decisions like sizzling tea, espresso, and juice, and who doesn’t like to finish their meal with an excellent dessert.
Other than my meal, and the waterfront seating, one other factor I liked concerning the Rustic Inn Crab Home is how they announce somebody’s birthday every time over the microphone and invite everybody to select up their gavels and begin banging for the birthday boy or lady. Everybody would begin banging them concurrently.
It’s possible you’ll be questioning why everybody has gavels, the gavels are given to make use of as a utensil, they’re used to bang the crab legs to crack them open as a substitute of the standard seafood cracker instruments given at some eating places. Additionally earlier than you’re served your meal, you’re given an enormous plastic bib with the restaurant’s title on it to cowl your self from splashes that may happen whereas cracking the legs.
Our waiter was good and as I discussed earlier than the environment was good. It was an excellent eating expertise.
