Rusty Nail is a laidback restaurant located near a motel, offering a fun atmosphere by the pool area. The outdoor space has a beach-like ambiance with sand, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and large fire pits, creating an inviting spot. The opening garage doors enhance the unique experience. The menu features popular dishes, such as the delectable ribs and the phenomenal flounder. Fried shrimp with sauces and fried Mac and cheese balls with remoulade sauce have also received praise. However, some items, like the strawberry wings, are not recommended. The service can be slow at times, but many have noted the friendly and accommodating staff, who provide excellent service. Overall, Rusty Nail is a good spot for beer, music, and relaxing live tunes, although the quality of food and service can vary.
