“Ate there on my birthday. May 22. Food was great. I had the sheepshead and my husband had the oysters. Chloe, our waitress was wonderful. She treated us to a bowl of the famous chowder and chocolate cake. We loved it so much until we stopped on the way to the ferry and bought some frozen. Everything we ate was perfect..”

“We had lunch here and it was DELISH. I had the blackened fish tacos (mahi mahi was the fish of the day) and our 11 year old had the Old Bay seasoned fish tacos. We both loved them, and it was a ton of food. So fresh and so delicious! My husband and our 15 year old had the crabby patty sandwich and they both devoured them and were very happy with their meals. Our 13 year old had the crabby patty wrap and liked it, and our 9 year old had the chicken nuggets kids meal and liked that too. The service was great and the atmosphere was cheerful, laid back, and vibrant. Highly recommend this place for lunch. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Rusty’s Surf and Turf was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The fried flounder was perfectly crispy, fresh, and full of flavor, and the steak was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and one of the best we’ve had in a long time. And the dessert? Completely to die for! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. What truly made the experience unforgettable though was Angela and Rusty themselves. They were some of the kindest, most welcoming people you could ever meet and made us feel right at home the entire time. You can truly tell how much love and care they put into both the food and the atmosphere. If you’re looking for amazing food, wonderful people, and an all-around fantastic dining experience, Rusty’s Surf and Turf is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!”

“Located at the north end of the Village of Avon, this small shop has great coffee, friendly service, and a casual, greeting atmosphere. The barista is more than willing to accommodate special requests. There's even a small children's area with books to look at for young families. In addition to the traditional beach gear for sale, they have a small, but nice selection of books for sale, and a bin full of stickers, for those so inclined to collect them. Check it out! 5 smily faces... 😀😀😀😀😀”
