Rusty's Surf & Turf

We had an incredible dinner at the South of South Philly pop up. We started with meatballs, Cesar salad and Italian bread. The meatballs were remarkable, moist and flavorful, sauce was delicious. I got the rigatoni ragu, beautiful sauce just like our family makes. My husband got the fra Diablo. Perfect amount of spice with incredibly fresh seafood. Tiramisu to finish off the meal, authentic and delicious! Rusty has a really special thing going on here! Belinda was lovely and service was 10/10!

***Holiday Dinning Open and welcoming customers***KEEP READING REVIEW*** Wanted to specify that went during the off season specifically on Friday December 19th 2025 which have in place a special limited holiday menu. Long review as wanted to cover every aspect of the visit and not just a side note. There is a special holiday menu in place that just came out and it is mentioned on their Facebook page, will keep evolving. It is a small menu with appetizers, soups, salads and grilled cheese sandwiches plus holidays drinks. Lets dig in.... Had a French Onion Soup which was hot and delicious. Lots of onions (if you love onions try it), bread was crunchy and the cheese melted so perfectly. Was followed by an appetizer choice, Meatballs in a bourbon glaze that were really good. Just the right am

This place is a solid win! From decorations, cleanliness, service, food, all 5 stars! The only setback for me, some repairs are needed. The popcorn ceiling looks like it needs some repairs. Almost looks as if it could fall as any moment. Aside from that, service was amazing! The food, even better! We had the fried green tomatoes, fried feta, and steak fries (I am gluten-free). From there, entrees were the swordfish, shrimp and grits (spicy), and wings. Portions were good for the price. We had some cocktails and I highly recommend dessert. We had the flourless chocolate torte and creme Brule! This is a must stop if you're in the area!

Excellent service, 7 kids and toddler - only downfall they changed their menu and we were really looking forward to the pistachio tortellini but they still had a great menu. Craft cocktails, fantastic desserts tried them all, dog friendly on patio huge plus. And got us in 30 mins prior to reservation!

My husband and I went this evening for dinner for the first time after my daughter kept begging us to try it. Absolutely amazing everything, the staff, food, atmosphere. I have nothing negative to say. We had the calamari for appetizer, my husband had the dinner special (roast duck), and I had the lomo saltado, chef's kiss...
