perdido key oyster bar restaurant & marina

the view from the restaurant was very nice. we sat outside and with the fans it was comfortable. i order a caesar salad with my meal. the salad was the worst salad i have ever had. the gross part is i know why, the salad was at least a couple of days old. if you have ever brought a salad home from a restaurant and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of days that is exactly what it was. the croutons were soaky and chewy. the lettuce had the look that it was sitting in water for a few days. theseafoodplatter was about 7.99 quality, but sadly it costed 23. not good won’t be back.

very disappointed. i've been here in the past and remembered it being very tasty, not so much this time. the "lump" crabmeat was a joke on the fish dish. it was more like crabmeat off a crab claw. and the hollandaise sauce... just no, more like honey mustard with some of the same seasonings. they also couldn't cook a good baked potato 😑 my father got aseafoodplatter and the shrimp were bland. to add a good note, the chocolate cake was very good, but come on who can mess that up.

service was fine. location is wonderful. i went there after spending the afternoon at big lagoon park. (i actually spotted this place through binoculars as i was birding.) we ordered two dozen oysters on the half shell. the first came with sauce, but no horseradish; the second came with horseradish, but no lemon. strange, but not a big deal. the oysters were from louisiana and tasted quite fresh. they were the perfect size. however, at $14.99 a dozen, the price was a bit steep. and that is my sole complaint (which, of course, will never be addressed). your typical tourist-trapseafoodjoint, but with well-cleaned, fresh oysters.

went here on a sunday. it was fairly crowded but we were seated immediately and out drink orders were taken and delivered right away. we ordered the fried calamari and oysters on the half shell. didn't wait long for these. my husband asked the waitress for horseradish for his oysters and the she brought out worchestershire sauce. really!!! after that we waited about 35 mins for our entrees. which weren't very good. my husband had theseafoodsampler(broiled) my daughter had the shrimp fettuccine alfredo- which she said was rather tasteless. i had the flounder that was stuffed with some "seafood" mixture. the mixture was tasteless so i scooped it out bit the fish was delicious. perfectly cooked and moist inside. we drive all the way from pensacola to eat here and we can unanamiously say it was not worth the trip. it's a shame we wanted to like it. heard so many good things about it.

greatseafoodloved the tuna, flounder

great dinner for both of us!. we have not been here for a while, but will be back soon. very nice dinner, my husband had shrimp and grits and i had the broiledseafoodplatter with an upgrade to grouper for the fish (very important and well worth the extra cost for people who love local fresh gulf fish!)
the food and the service was great and the view is always wonderful.

i hoped it would be good... it wasn't. i took my family to pkob for dinner, hoping that i had found a place to eat for years to come (first visit, as i just moved to the area). i was drawn by the location of the restaurant, which offers a great view. we ordered a broad variety of dishes, ranging from fried or broiled, to grilled and sauced. not a single one of the entrées was hot, with only one or two barely warm. the sides were also either lukewarm or cool, with the exception of the green beans. the green beans were good, as was the coleslaw (okay, this was cold, as it should be). i'm certain it is not too much to ask for fresh food to either be hot, or at least reasonably warm--if it is indeed fresh. i mean, you have to cook this if it's fresh, so it would be hot when finished cooking, right? the service was also quite poor, with the server being mia for most of the evening. very nice and pleasant personality, just not present and accounted for. perhaps the food would have been better, or hotter, if the service was reasonably good. unfortunately, i'll never know, as i won't go back. that's a shame, as i am loyal to places that go the extra mile, or at least consistently are pretty good. if the owner writes a mea culpa i might try again, as it would at least show that they listen and care. otherwise, i guess i'll keep searching for a goodseafoodrestaurant to frequently patronize.

must go. this is the best place to eat in the perdido/orange beach/gulf shores area. theseafoodis fresh and the steaks are delicious. employees care about what they're doing and make sure your dining experience is top-notch. also a fun atmosphere to go eat. drink and listen to music on weekend nights. i'll be back, often!

oyster bar. really goodseafoodplace by the beach. great place to eat with your family or to get a drink. very clean and friendly environment with great service. excellent food and some of the best char-broiled oysters i've ever had. i'm from the new orleans area so that says a lot. i would highly recommend eating here, it's the best in the area.

bestseafoodin perdido. the oyster bar has always been my favorite place to eat in perdido key! amazing food and always great service! highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates exceptionalseafoodand excellent service.

some of the best food i've had in perdido key! wait was short for 3 people.. and i recommend drinking a bahama momma while you wait! i ordered the bay scallops andseafoodbisque, both were delicious! service was good as well! i will definitely be back!

simply fantastic!. we eat there at least once a week....crab claws in wine sauce! broiledseafoodplatter! everything is good! lunch prices very reasonable. very clean, excellent service!

to call this place an oyster bar is a joke. the size and quality of the oysters here are insulting to a new orleanian. the broiledseafoodplatter on the otherhand was very good and affordable. very nice change considering every otherseafoodplace around only has fryers to cook with.

great food and awesome location.seafoodwas nothing terribly special but still very good and what one would expect. desert was great, get the pecan pie. service on the other hand left something to be desired. waitress showed up once when the food came out and at the end for desert. no drink refills until we asked. in the end good food bad service.

undecided. my husband and i went on a saturday evening. we were seated quickly, and found the atmosphere very pleasant: well-lit, not too noisy, plenty of outdoor seating though we opted to stay indoors. the dinner crowd overall was decidedly older: just an f.y.i. for the rowdy, young types.

the menu overall looked well-balanced, with lots of fried or healthier options, depending on your persuasion. our server was attentive, but painfully task-oriented. she winced out a smile at the end of the evening, but it seemed like she was interested in turning over her tables as quickly as possible- and not so much making us feel welcome.

my husband ordered oysters rockefeller, though he really wanted steamed oysters. they said they were out of steamed oysters however...

i ordered an asian shrimp salad, which was pretty lackluster. literally, it was a giant bed of iceberg lettuce with (plenty of ) popcorn shrimp, some fried noodles, and about 8 tiny chunks of mango. oh- and dressing. sure, the serving size was generous, but it was so uncreative i couldn't care to eat more than 1/3 of it.

they do bring you bread before your meal, which is always a nice bonus. my husband and i are still undecided, since we think it would be worth a second visit for some more classic steamedseafoodselections. i just felt like the salad was a waste of money.
