Bold tropical tastes and colors come together with fresh local seafood on Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks.













Rusty’s Surf and Turf brings the bold flavors and colors of the tropics to Hatteras Island. Owner and chef Rusty Midgett, a Hatteras native who honed his 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 local seafood and premium beef. The restaurant is fun and colorful with cheerful local artwork. Rusty’s has a full bar and specializes in North Carolina hand-crafted beers, and there’s a fun bar/appetizer menu. Rusty’s serves dinner seven days a week in the summer and brunch on Sundays; call for off-season hours. It’s located between Natural Art Surf Shop and the ABC Store.
