A night out for my birthday and had seafood bar and crab legs. I certainly got my money 's worth. Everything was fresh and delicious. I must say I got there early at the beginning of the buffet. The owner knew it was on my birthday and sent out a delicious brownie dessert and the staff sang happy birthday. We decided we didn't have to wait for a birthday to go back! Certainly worth it.

Its a little over an hour from my home & our 2nd time going and very pleased. It's ran properly like the resturants in the past were ran employees who enjoy their job which is rare! Seated in timely manner we had reservations for mothers day buffet and within 10 min we were seated served drinks and enjoying our night. Food was top notch crab legs perfect, fried shrimp best I've had in a long while not over battered just right. You won't be disappointed if you try it I can assure you.

Joined a community service group meeting at lunch today. This is their regular meeting place and I was promised an authentic southern meal. The Rusty Grill does not disappoint. Meals are served buffet with many choices. Today, they offered a fresh salad bar, fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, grilled pork chops, beef roast, butter beans, collard greens, stewed tomatoes and okra, cheesy potatoes au gratin, green bean casserole, banana pudding, and strawberry cake. We left quite happy and full! On the outskirts of Swainsboro on route 80, you have got to stop by and taste true southern cooking! Watch for the big alligator on top of their sign!
