Shell Oyster Bar

“Exceptional service just compliments the outstanding food.”

If you want some great seafood this is the place to go. Kind of tight seating but well worth is. Only open 11a to 3:00 on Sat. Oysters were awesome. Fried shrimp and catfish were off the chain. Founded in 1945 and they have the recipe down pat.

Stopped in for raw oysters. Some of the best that I’ve ever had. Onion rings were delicious. The only thing I missed was a cold beer. But the Diet Coke worked. Beware it’s cash only

Extremely Disappointing Visit to Shells Oyster Bar I visited Shells Oyster Bar with a friend, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered the catfish lunch, and my friend got the full platter. She didn’t receive any hush puppies with her meal, so we brought it to the staff’s attention, and they brought her just two. Meanwhile, the hush puppies I received were hard as a rock. I bit into one, immediately spit it out, and let our server know. Instead of offering to remake them, they suggested microwaving them—something I found completely unacceptable, especially in

Shell Oyster Bar is hands down one of the best spots in town! My son and I split a dozen garlic-nuked oysters (amazing!) and both had the Shrimp Dinner Plate—everything was fresh and full of flavor, and you have to try their homemade cocktail sauce (perfect mix of horseradish and hotsauce). The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the service was excellent. Everyone there was super nice. If you're looking for a classic Tallahassee Oyster Bar or just want the best seafood in Tallahassee, this is the place to go!
