Rusty's Riverfront Grill
A popular seafood spot on Washington St in the old downtown, known for its crab cakes, seafood okra gumbo and whole fish.
Located in Vicksburg's historic downtown, a few minutes' walk from the Mississippi River. The menu focuses on Gulf Coast seafood: three large lumps of crab cake with Cajun-style mayonnaise, New Orleans-style seafood okra gumbo (shrimp, oysters, scallops, fish and sausage), fried green tomatoes with crab, and angel hair pasta with shrimp, crab and scallops. Evening specials often include a whole bone-in flounder. Desserts include bourbon bread pudding and Mississippi mud brownies. It ranks near the top of several lists and often has a wait at dinner. Entrées cost about $16–33.
