Loved this casual but high quality seafood establishment! I'm really not that big of an oyster fan, but had to try a few since Apalachacola is known for them. Wow..is all I can say. Nothing like a fresh oyster with a squirt of lemon and dash of hot sauce. Simply the best I have ever eaten. My husband tried the... More

We sat on the porch and had sea food and watched the birds and boats on the bay - delightful sun set. they let dogs come on the porch which is considerate.

Been here many times and would always rate top notch but today servers were not nearly as friendly as previously... Hope this is not a change

First, the good news -- my shrimp basket and my husband's grouper sandwich were excellent (included one side -- we both chose the bare necessities salad bar -- fresh). We sat out on the deck overlooking the Apalachicola river and a scenic marsh, watching the mullet jump. Very nice! Now the bad news... What kind of place in Apalachicola does... More

Great location on river. You can sit inside or out and enjoy simple fish and a few surprises. You order at counter and food is brought to you. Marvelous fish.

We ate there twice. Friendly staff and dogs are welcome. Some of the best food in the area. The oysters and shrimp were huge and tasted great. Will go back again.

You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table (you're given a numbered placard to put on your table). If you get tea/soda, it's self-serve; alcoholic drinks are brought... More

After listening to all the rave reviews, very disppointed. STRANGE menu and awkward service. That being said, the food was quite good

if you like fresh, off-the-boat shrimp, oysters and lobster bisque, do NOT miss this place! worth the drive itself!
