My only two criticisms are that when I initially sat outside (at a clean table like the sign says)…read moreno one came to greet me for 8-10 minutes. As a party of 1, I moved inside to the bar and was immediately taken care of! Also, the grilled fish seems like it is steamed, then maybe put in a grill for the lines. Seemed very poached, not 100% grilled. It was however tasty and well seasoned. The bartender that took care of me finally was amazing. Next time will just sit at the bar from the beginning & I'm sure will be a 5-star experience

In town for an OTS Graduation at Maxwell Air Force Base and stayed at the Renaissance at Montgomery…read moreHotel & Spa and was pleasantly pleased to see an Oyster Bar attached to the hotel. Needless to say with our recent run on Oyster Bars knew we had to stop in Fresh off the road we worked up an appetite and got right to it. We ordered some Patron doubles, which honestly were crazy over priced at $18 a shot, some chargrilled oysters, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, gumbo, and bienville oysters just so we could have a sampler of multiple items To get right to the point, the chargrilled oysters which were freshly shucked or smothered with butter and cheese and absolute money! The Bienville were covered with shrimp had a healthy amount of crab meat and a creamy Parmesan sauce that were good but something about char-grilled Flavor that made these take a back seat The fried green tomatoes were very crisp on the outside and delicious texture on the inside but the signature crawfish sauce I can't put my finger on it but it was absolutely amazing The crab cakes were no lie 99% crab with next to no filler which is rare nowadays and the remoulade sauce was totally made in house And then finally the gumbo which was highly recommended due to all the achievements it's one, had the right balance of heat spice shrimp, crawfish, crab meat and, okra is a must try! The po-boy fish sandwich was a healthy sized fillet and you could tell was fried to perfection All in all I feel this was a great experience just touching down in Alabama, the only thing that made us laugh was we tried all this hot food when it was 102° outside. Shout out to Josh for that good old southern hospitality as he took care of us like we were family!

The full size is huge, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, all the Cobb add ons with delicious grilled shrimp. As I was enjoying my mid day feast, I reached for the straw in my ample sized iced tea and proceeded to tip the glass into my waiting lap.

Cudos to you for excellent service in the face of difficulties. I can assure you this was no small dribble, it was the entire 16 oz glass. I enjoyed my meal and I'll be back, but next time, I promise not to spill.

I can appreciate a place where all of the money and talent is reflected in the food itself. It was "eh". They use plain fishfry- kind of bland and not much seasoning. I ordered fried shrimp and flounder with french fries. The shrimp were large, butterflied and battered. Pretty good. The flounder was fried with the plain fishfry. Not sure if there were spicier batter options available. Fries were very plain and basic, nothing special. The good news is everything is cooked to order. Also it's fast and cheap.
