Rusty’s Surf and Turf brings the bold flavors and colors of the tropics to Hatteras Island. Owner and chef Rusty Midgett, a native who left the island and honed his restaurant and kitchen experience in some of Philadelphia’s top restaurants, is inspired in the kitchen by the places he has traveled on surf trips – the Caribbean, the Mexican Riviera, the Pacific Rim. Let him surprise you with his creative preparations of fresh fish, local seafood and premium beef. Midgett gets a lot of his seafood directly from Hatteras Island docks. Rusty’s has a full bar and specializes in North Carolina hand-crafted beers, and there’s a fun bar/appetizer menu. They serve dinner seven days a week in the summer; call for off-season hours. They’ll also cater wedding parties, rehearsal dinners, birthdays and other celebrations for large groups both on and off premises. Rusty’s is located between Natural Art Surf Shop and the ABC Store.
