About this business
The name is more than a bit misleading, as The Rusty Pelican, a popular seafood spot, is anything but run-down. The spacious dining room boasts a fabulous view of Biscayne Bay. A la carte entrees include steak, pasta and fresh, delicious seafood. The Sunday buffet brunch is one of the most popular in town, offering a variety of delicious dishes for a reasonable price. Come early to avoid the long wait for a good table.

horrible – Better meal at McDonalds!!
Better Than The Reviews – Despite the negative reviews posted here, I've yet to have a bad meal at the Rusty Pelican. The new menu is a major step up from previous offerings. Give it a try.
Avoid this tourist trap like the plague – Waiters with attitude, incompetent front desk and poor quality food, Don't complain they will get upset
best sunday brunch – I've been to RP Sunday brunch at least for 15 times times. 90% of the time the service was great and the food was good with great selection of fresh seafood: oysters, crab legs. Shrimps are little tastless. But there is so many choices of food, that if you don't like one, just move to another. Unlimited champaign or mimosas. I don't know how this person with "terrible experience" can judge the place just by one visit in the busiest time as mother's day. Regular price for brunch I believe is $25. I will k... read more
Great Service – In reading the reviews below... wow, did we go to the same Rusty Pelican? I recently had a private party celebrating my engagement. When I couldn't attending a tasting for our menu, my whole family was invited to Sunday Brunch. The food was excellent. A little crowded yes, but there weren't any "little old ladies grabbing shrimp with their bare hands". Tiso, our server was wonderful. I will always request him in the future. The service for our engagement dinner for 50 was impeccable. They were extremely accom... read more
CROWDED, HOT AND $$$$ – 500 people crowded into a hot, noisy room . . .does that sound like a fun Mother?s day? Once it?s all over get in line for the shuttle bus to take you back to your car ? was that supposed to be fine dining or an amusement park? Don?t waste your money on this horrible place. Terrible food and even worse management.
Terrible reviews for last 2 years - get new managment – WORST MOTHERS DAY BRUNCH EVER. The website advertised mother?s day brunch for $32.95. This is a reasonable price for Miami and so despite awful reviews online my family decided to give it a try. We arrived at 11 am and had to be shuttled in from offsite parking. The place was extremely crowded and very difficult to get in and out of the table. When the bill came it was $45.00 per person and when I mentioned it to the server he said they always charge $45.00 despite the ... read more
WORST MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH – The horrible online reviews are true ? STAY AWAY. I arrived at Rusty Pelican, Key Biscayne, for Mother?s Day to discover they were doing offsite parking and shutting everyone over like herds of cattle in the 91 degree heat. The tables were all numbered and extremely difficult to get in and out of. The lines for the food were ridiculously long and old women were grabbing shrimp out of the buffet bowl with their bare hands. The waiters were serving everyone mimosas without checking ID. They filled u... read more
Not a good review since 2006 – $550.00 for 9 people on Mother?s Day included a shuttle bus in the heat from offsite parking, horrible food, cramped conditions and rude management. All of the meats: pork, roast beef, ham; were extremely dry and tasteless. The table with the oysters, shrimp and crab legs was hidden in the back corner and designed to limit access. With the crowds of people it was impossible to get to the table. The restaurant supplied 1 tong for the crab legs, 1 tong for the oysters and 1 tong for the shrimp to... read more
