Rusty Hooks

When Fresh & Local Matters, You'll Be Hooked!


The Capps Family, led by James and Cindy opened Rusty Hooks Dockside Grill in April of 2019; with their hearts set on fun waterfront dining, exceptional views, outstanding service, and a menu featuring local seafood and traditional Maryland crab recipes.


Our customer's favorite entrees include the fresh catch preparations, jumbo-lump crab cakes, jerked chicken, fried North Carolina shrimp, fish-n-chips, and specialty salads. We offer great handheld options like our award-winning Cheeseburger in Paradise, our Bahamian-style coconut-fried mahi burger, and our fan-favorite blackened fish tacos.


Start your meal with wonderful cream-of-crab soup or any of our sharable appetizers: Rusty's Crab Dip, Dockside Seafood Fritters, Steamed Peel & Eat Shrimp, and don't forget to ask your server about our Castaways.


Our extensive gluten-free menu features true Maryland style crab cakes, fresh-catch preparations, and substitution options on many of the house favorites. Our entire menu is prepared fresh daily, while you relax and enjoy the spectacular Intracoastal Waterway views and breathtaking sunsets from our dining rooms and tiki deck.


Come enjoy live music at The Sunset Tiki Bar EVERY WEEKEND from Easter until Halloween; featuring local and out-of-town talented bands.


Join us to cheer on your favorite team—college or professional, we have the game you're looking for! Ask our bartender about joining Rusty's Mug Club and/or the Unwind Wine Club when you come in!


Rusty Hooks is an Untappd venue offering two full-service cocktail bars with daily drink specials, a great wine selection, the coldest draught beer in town with 23 beers on tap (featuring local IPAs and craft beers on rotation), and house-made Lighthouse Lemonade.


 We look forward to serving you Dockside!
