We actually ended up choosing the Sheraton for our family vacation and wedding location and Rusty's for our wedding dinner. I can't tell you how pleased we were! Everything turned out beautifully. Our wedding was small and intimate w/ only our children and immediate family. We got married right there on the beach at sunset and then headed over to... more

After reading some good reviews, we gave this a try but were a bit disappointed in the limited variety the buffet contained, The prime rib had more fat than meet, the shrimp in shell was a bit undercooked. I really did not find anything that had me going back for seconds more

Our server was the Employee of the Year in 2008 for the entire hotel! It was obvious that he loves his job. We ate there on Saturday night for their Prime Rib and Seafood Buffet (it was $20 per person -- good value for the options on the buffet!) It was very good tasting and maintained. We also had the... more

Rusty's was worth every penny. We were staying in the hotel and were highly disappointed with the room. The Sea Bass was delicious as well as the shrimp risotto. I wouldn't stay at the Sheraton Sand Key again but would definitely visit the restaurant. more

In my 4 day stay at the Sheraton, I only ate here once and had a very nice dinner. The special of the evening was a creative dish of scallops with broccolini, a pomegranate sauce and some spicy rice. The dinner was enhanced by a few special things: live piano music with a huge variety of selections, including special requests,... more

We've just returned from a month in Clearwater Beach, FL. Enjoyed 4 dining experiences at Rusty's. Breakfast buffet twice, dinner buffet once and dinner a la carte once. All visits produced incredible food - buffet is unique, varied and very fresh. Dinner buffet was the same - each dish had unique flavour and was delectable. No pans of greasy, mystery... more

My boyfriend and I go at least twice a month. You will never find another buffet like this. The buffet is only $20 per person(dinner),under $15 for breakfast and the food is just absolutely wonderful! I would reommend Rusty's to anyone. more

I agree with both of the previous reviewers. Rusty's is great for breakfast, but also for a family meal or a sophisticated evening out. The food is excellent and, as the earlier reviewer commented, the buffet is one of the best around. High quality food regularly replenished. This is not one of those places where you trade quantity for quality.... more
