The namesake of the restaurant would lead one to believe it would be the best place to get … oysters. That wasn’t the case. We were presented with only 2 options and 1 of them we could only get 5 of. Then, it was downhill from there … 35 minute wait before we got the oysters, our appetizers never showed up and then our entree’s arrived and the food was disappointing. The table was on the dirty side and our feet sat in pooled water at the indoor table. I was severely disappointed … we were celebrating a birthday and the last day of our friends visiting and their final dinner ended up being the least favorite of the week.

Absolutely delicious.

Food was horrible and cold oyster rockerfella was over cooked and dried out

It would be nice if a seafood place actually had seafood they could serve. $32 for a shrimp lobster roll served on a supermarket bun. Will say the fries were good.

Great manager and service staff small issue with burger handled immediately and order was compensated completely

Great place for dinner and watch sports Good selection of fresh Oysters Great service & timely delivery of food & drinks

Oysters were absolutely amazing!! Must eat spot in St. Pete

Ordered medium steak, came out rare. Medium well came out looking medium . Clam Chowder was very salty and too solid for my liking. The ambience is great but the food, not really. I’d not consider coming back..

My husband wanted oysters and a beer for Father’s Day! So, we chose to visit (this was our 2nd time). The oysters were fantastic!!! Also, slipped in during “happy hour”…nice!!!

Food was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. An alt hip vibe and the staff were nice but forgot to serve us our starters which ironically were a dozen Oysters and the whole reason we visited. The server knocked off a drink each from a group of two from the bill as compensation but is a pretty big miss. Wouldn't rush back.
