    My family and friends had a great afternoon at Austons on 98. The food was delicious!! We had oysters on the half shell x4, smoked tuna dip, crab claws, hush puppies, and Gouda cheese grits. We all enjoyed all of the dishes. Two of us had the blood orange sour beer. My husband had Dankside and Divide and Concur Ipa beers and he liked both of them. We are going back tomorrow for more oysters.

    One of the best places I've been for great seafood. My wife and I hit down today and being from Indiana , couldn't wait to get fresh seafood. Had the raw oysters, shrimp cocktail, and crab claws. All were delicious. Also as a bonus we had great service from Katira!!!! We will eat here almost every night of our stay. Great place , great price , great service. Easy 5/5.

    We only had their spring rolls (spicy and very hot) and oysters. They were very tasty! They have happy hour, different drink specials every day, as well as a drink menu with more options. Nice spot for quick meal, they have tvs, plenty of tables and nice long bar.

    Cheeseburger and fries, side of hush puppies!

    So I made a review and our experience was so great we went back and it was awful! The clam chowder was watered down and bland, the fried clams were mushy and bland, the totchos were just as unexciting...our waitress was only there to take the order and deliver it. I had to go to someone else for a box and the bill. Not pleased with this visit! Even the atmosphere was blah.

    Every time I visit Florida, I must order crab claws. They are a staple and so good! It was no different when ordering here. Their crab claws were drenched in a garlic butter with a lemon wedge. We also ordered the charbroiled oyster sampler. Every single oyster was a total hit! The oysters came with some bread to dip into the sauces and we used it for our crab claw butter. I am so happy I found this place!

    When visiting Destin/Miramar Beach area we try to get to Auston's. Our third time here this year. Tonight we got a dozen oysters, dry rub wings and fried pickles. The oysters were phenomenal as always. Had them with a squeeze of lemon, saltine crackers, cocktail sauce, horseradish and the Auston's Habanero Garlic Hot Sauce. Everything was great. For beer, I had Ghost in the Machine by Parish Brewery in Louisiana. One of the top double IPA's out there. Live music by Wes Herndon was definitely a plus. Service was quick at first but got a little slow when they started getting busy.

    30+ taps

    This place was great and the service staff are all great people. This area can get overrun by tourists with bad attitudes and everyone working here are still good people! Spring break just ended so these guys have been working hard. The entire place was clean and welcoming. Food selection is great and everything we ordered was amazing. The large open bar is great for parties of just a few and the open floor is great for large parties. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. The menu contains something for everyone and even kids. They have 30+ taps on draft giving several choices for every beer lover. I've been wanting to come here for months and now I regret not coming sooner!

    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

Don't matter which city we are in it never fails. Things to add before the service. Party of 5, automatic gratuity. 3 percent add for paying with card. Remember we had to tip 18 percent for this service so why would the server give two shi about us. They were already getting the tip. And we only had two adults and three kids (2 at 14). Served nachos, never given any silverware. Went to front grabbed it myself. Fast forward, not to much on the drink refill or clearing an appetizer meal off the table because the tables are average size. Had to ask for those refills, and just water. Time to pay. No clue where the server was then, seen the server standing up front near the entrance. Then Watched other tables get drink refills, and actually pay and began to leave. Wife had to go to the counter to get the bill. Then I went to the counter to pay the bill. Christ our luck sucks. Let's get to the food. Philly steak, boneless wings, kid got a monster burger, and sliders. Guess what, the food is as absolutely great! Go try the food.. other tables were getting. The service you'd expect since you are forced an automatic 18 percent.

The whole place is open air, so you won't be escaping that panhandle humidity. The place is also super popular! So come early or be prepared to wait. The tables also tend to be very close.

The slaw wasn't my favorite though. I also got a yummy virgin banana daiquiri. They also have lots of fun tropical adult beverages and they have a bar out front so if you do have to wait for a table, you do not have to wait for a drink! Our server took care of our party of 8-4 kids and 4 adults--masterfully, never getting flustered by my screaming toddler or our many and varied requests. Great job to him. Also the kids meals are served on a frisbee you can take home--a fun little souvenir. Like I said, this place is a classic and a must go at least once while in the area. The coconut cake is also delicious!

First complaint is the prices. They are UNNNNNBELIEVABLE!! I got an American breakfast plate ($15) and asked if I could sub the sourdough for anything because I'm gluten free, she said no, so I just said ok take it off and asked for an extra egg. The egg was $3.50 LOL! I got an iced latte as well and my total was $27. I forgot to order an orange juice so I got that later and it was $7. So almost $40 on what ended up being maybe 400 cals, almost no food. The fruit on the side was horrendous. Literally ONE STRAWBERRY! And a few grapes, why is it always grapes?! The bacon was so fatty also it was almost inedible. I paid almost FOUR DOLLARS for an extra egg and it looks like they forgot it (the plate comes with two) because the portion was so small. The food was bland and so so not worth it. Although the orange juice was so good but still too pricey. So SAD

    I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being a disappointing experience overall…read more The one standout was the gumbo. It had a nice kick to it, was full of flavor, and the $10 cup was a generous portion. My partner and I both ordered a cup, and it was easily the best thing we ate. Unfortunately, everything else went downhill. We split the fried redfish basket, and for what it cost, it felt almost criminal. There wasn't a price listed, so getting the bill was a shock (especially because all the other baskets were $30). The fish itself was decent quality, but the breading was heavy, bland, and overwhelmed the redfish. The curly fries were unique, but they left both of us feeling greasy and weighed down afterward. Service was mixed. The hostesses were friendly and welcoming, and our server was pleasant as well, though it felt like there was a strong push to upsell throughout the meal. In the end, two cups of gumbo, one fried fish basket to share, and our total came to $85 including taxes and tip. Considering the quality of the fried basket, the value just wasn't there. If the fish basket alone was around $50, that price is hard to justify. It felt more like a money grab aimed at visitors than a restaurant focused on earning repeat local customers.
