★★★★★ 5.0 Whitney Prince · Oct 2025

We have been here several times and it never fails to be a great experience. There is usually a wait, but they give you a buzzer and you can grab a drink and go do some shopping while you wait. I had raw oysters for an appetizer and the soft shell crab for my meal with baked potato and salad bar for sides. The others at the table got the shrimp bake, stuffed flounder and crab stuffed grouper. It was all cooked perfectly and delicious. Our server was Mr. Rogers, and he made our experience even more enjoyable with his excellent service and fun conversation. Highly recommend!

We had the triple combination seafood dinner plate with shrimp scampi, blackened mahi mahi, and fried flounder. And the salad bar with a cup of gumbo. The gumbo was packed with shrimp and sausage. All of the seafood was par excellence!! The salad bar here is the simply the best in this area. The high turnover of customers ensures that they serve the finest and best food. The service was very good. This is a long standing top notch restaurant and it continues to exceed our expectations every time!! Highly recommended if you haven’t been here!!

Good salad bar, fried mozzarella was good, liked that the marinara for them was served cold. The shell shocked oyster sampler was outstanding. My wife had the chicken Alfredo and it was good as well, it had too much sauce for her liking, but flavor was very good. Also had a side of cheese grits and they were outstanding.

Food was good. Service was great. Salad bar was my favorite part. Gumbo was good. It was a little cold. Beautiful setting though with good chance to talk. Everyone was so friendly.

Original Oyster House Boardwalk is a fun and delicious experience for all ages! My family and I have eaten here my whole life, and I love it every time. They have quite the extensive menu. Some of my favorite foods here include the fried oysters, fried shrimp, fried grouper, fried crawfish, fried alligator, blackened or grilled mahi mahi, red beans and rice, collard greens, and hush puppies. The servers are always so welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations for menu options and information about specials. They also have delicious sweet tea! The food is fantastic, but the atmosphere is what truly makes this place fun and unique. Seated along the Little Lagoon, Original Oyster House Boardwalk has large windows with an open view of the water. Watch herons, spot fis
