First time eating here yesterday, what a great meal. Burger was phenomenal, Gumbo was great, Key lime pie was spot on, and the Praline cheesecake was bangin. Service was great, to boot. Next time I'm in the area, I'm getting another burger. Just gonna have to bring my own bottle of bbq sauce because they don't believe in it.

Was there today(12/20/25) and I've been here several times. Food is usually chef's kiss! The food was horrible to the point I asked my server did they have a different cook. How the hell do you overcook a redfish then put sauce over it and you still cant chew it. My Hawaiian chicken was overcooked. I had a coughing attack because it was stuck in my throat. The creamed spinach must have been microwave multiple times because it was all on the outside of the bowl. Hell I thought I was eating a spinach bowl. I can truly say this place has changed. I also saw the busboy clean a lady's table but she was only gone to the restroom. He opened her to go boxes and discarded them. Once he saw she returned he retrieved them and put them back on her table. The server was no better she offered her a new box to transfer the food into it. Poor, unacceptable, unsanitary customer service. Idk if they were having a bad day or what, but it'll be a while before I return. Window filled with customer's food waiting to be served. Awful! Rusty you need to call a meeting.🤷🏾♀️ Plus she was tipped

Fantastic place right off the river in downtown Vicksburg. We pulled it up on yelp as my buddy and I were driving in. Rusty's was a little busy when we walked but continued to fill up as we ate.
We both had one of their locally brewed beers. I had a lager and his was an IPA. I really enjoyed mine and he said his was 'one of the best beers I have ever had'. High praise and I agree with him the beers were fantastic. We both had po boys. His was the shrimp and I had the mixed, shrimp and oysters. Both were well seasoned and very filling. He got a cup of gumbo and it was bursting with seafood. He said it was excellent. I would definitely encourage you to stop in and enjoy a meal if you are traveling through or stopping in Vicksburg.
