The Rusty Crab started with a simple idea: serve real seafood in a place where everyone feels at home. Located right here in Mars Hill, we've been bringing the taste of the coast to our community for years.
Our kitchen uses locally caught seafood whenever possible, and our recipes are built around what makes Maine special — honest ingredients, generous portions, and food that tastes like it was made with care.
Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, celebrating a milestone, or just need a good meal after a long day, there's a seat waiting for you at the Crab.
