Can I get broiled oysters with NO seasoning or butter?

I'm fairly sure you can. My husband is gluten free and they were very kind about helping us. Just check with them first to be certain.

Can I get the recipe for those delicious crackers you served with the tuna dip?

No maam

Do they sell oyster shots?

Yes

Never a disappointment with the flavor of spiked slushes that is available. We drove an hour or so to this Destin FL location it's on a private golf course community. So getting behind the gate was a challenge. Each location is different and flavors may vary. So which ever you choose it still has power for the punch. I get the Mud Slide and the 190 Octane afterwards. The sports bottle with the discounted refills is my go-to size every time. This location is much smaller than the others and don't really sell food out side of tenders and fries. But the beverages is just as refreshing and you feel all warm inside. So when I'm in the area I will stop in again. Next stop, Fat Tuesday's Biloxi...!!!

I am local, so I always support locally owned businesses here. But, even if I wasn't Austons would still receive an excellent review from me. I have eaten here so many times and everything has always been very good. Get ready for beer selections. I'm not sure how many they have, but it is a lot. The oysters are always so fresh and cold. Try to meet Steve, the infamous shucker. One of our favorites are the Nashville Hot. The Gumbo and Clam Chowder are excellent. They have the appetizer section covered and You honestly can't go wrong with anything. The sandwiches and salads are all well prepared. Everything is always very fresh. I have enjoyed every special that I have ever ordered. Fun place to watch any sports game because TV's are everywhere. Also, there is a patio. Great service from friendly servers. It is easy to end up spending a lot of time here, so kick back and enjoy. read more

We noticed that every time servers brought food to a table, they'd immediately point out that salt and pepper were available, so it seems like that's just their thing. Not ours though. The hush puppies were okay but a little overcooked, nothing to write home about. The fried shrimp was actually the best part of the meal and worth ordering. Overall, a decent spot if you're okay seasoning everything yourself, but for a seafood destination in Destin, we expected a bit more.

The Outcast grouper was apparently crispy and delicious as well. The red beans and rice appetizer was also a nice little surprise and definitely worth trying. Overall, our server Jeff made the experience memorable. He was attentive, warm, and made sure everything was taken care of. Definitely will make a return visit the next time I'm driving through!

Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.
