“ Passing through-thought I would try it. Was greeted with fast friendly service. Menu prices were very reasonable but I wanted raw oysters and so paid market price. Would eat there again. ”

“ Food is good, especially the oysters. I’ve only ever seen one waitress and who I would assume is the manager/owner, both are nice. Drinks are good as well. ”

“ Food was great. Had gumbo, shrimp basket, salad, seafood platter. The fried grouper was excellent. Nice people. Server was prompt and checked on us 3 times. We arrived around 6PM on a Friday night and wait for a table wasn't bad for us but it soon became very crowded with people standing. It was about 45 minutes to get food once ordered but they were busy. It's a small place with a bar and an outside eating area but it was too cold for outside (but some were out there :). Reasonably priced. Definitely recommend because the food was great but maybe next time we'll do a late afternoon dinner before the rush :). ”

“ We happened upon the once-yearly (I believe) shrimp and crawfish boil at the Oyster House. Not only was the food absolutely amazing and reasonably priced, but the waiters and waitresses were all so kind and made sure our “plates” never emptied. Great event and great staff! Thank you! ”

“ It's just a bar with a small selection of seafood, the fried fish was good and so was the shrimp (de-veined too) wasn't bad, wasn't out of this world either. The bartender who took our order was friendly and very talkative, he cleaned a table for us and sat us down. It didn't take too terribly long for the food to get brought to us. I would go back again someday if I wanted seafood, but didn't want to drive to Birmingham. The price was decent. ”

“ We had to go to Columbiana and tried the local oyster house. I was amazed at the quality and quantity of food at a great price. It was better than you get at the gulf. We got the tuna dip and it’s 2 scoops not one scoop like at the steamer in orange beach , The shrimp are lightly coated and fried and are big.on the seafood platter there were 2 huge grouper filets They would be $24 each at Publix if you could even find them. The deviled crab was the best ever. The cole slaw was the best I’ve had , the French fries were good. I saw crab legs on a board behind the bar and got a pound of them. They were the best seasoned I’ve had. You can taste it in the meat. Usually it’s just on the shell. They were fresh and cooked perfectly where you can crack them and get the meat out . I’m definitely driving from Pelham to come back soon !! ”

“ I will be back..... Fresh and hot. Not very spicy so I loved that. Couldn't find meat in the gumbo, so I'll ask them next time to stir that pot and get me the good stuff. Staff was super sweet and I loved the outdoor seating. Best frozen margarita ever and I just got back from Mexico. ”
