We ordered the lobster roll, tuna tartar, oysters and chitty chitty shrimp. We had to return the tuna tartar because the tuna was almost grey in color. The server was quick to replace it with fresher tuna. So I'd say be careful with their tuna it is hit or miss. The lobster roll was okay but the fries came soggy. The best part was chitty chitty shrimp which came pipping hot and meaty! Service was great and friendly. read more

The place is too cute! I love the ocean and beach theme inside the restaurant. My favorite color tones are all over the restaurant. There is an outdoor seating area with heat. The seating is modern and pretty. The service was great and the food is delicious! Their seafood is fresh especially the snow crab legs. I absolutely love the hush puppies. The salad had a good dressing. We got seafood boil, seafood tower, grilled or blackened fish and shrimp. I will definitely come back soon! read more

I have passed this spot a few times and decided to try it for lunch on the go. I was greeted by a polite male host who was very friendly and answered my questions about the lunch options and sides and choice for how to prepare my meal. I decided on the blackened red fish tacos but could have chosen shrimp , or salmon too. The tangy sauce and slaw that garnished the fish was savory and delish. Fish pieces were smaller than anticipated and felt like it half of a piece instead of 2 small pieces to make a nice portion. The Gouda grits were rich and tasty coarse and thick .There were a variety of lunch options that I will consider trying when I return and will dine in. This spot is Suwanee Town Center popular area for families, singles , and community overall. Parking is adequate but may be a challenge on weekend evenings. Love the feel of the restaurant and location overall. I would recommend for sure ! read more

This has become one of my favorite spots in the area. Has a great atmosphere for a solo drink and oysters at the bar or a large group meeting up to enjoy some fresh seafood. Friendly staff and very good presentation of dishes topped off with great tasting seafood. The menu changes up a little bit based on keeping things fresh and the oysters in particular change weekly with a different variation. Personal favorites are the seafood tower (which is great for a group), the salads with blackened shrimp and the fish sandwich with grouper. It's as close as you can get for seafood without being on the water. read more

Earned two stars for nice bartenders and ambiance. Lost three stars for overpriced lunch "special." Ordered the lunch Cajun or Nola pasta ($12) with blackened redfish ($8). Served a flat small plate (not even a proper serving plate) of spaghetti with chunks of what may or may not have been blackened redfish. Just oily and some Cajun seasoning. Three sprigs of whatever that couldn't help the pathetic serving, and a half toasted lemon. This was $30 (including a reasonable tip for bar service) for less food than might come in a frozen meal with the same name. And a glass of of seltzer water (i.e. carbonated water from a spigot -- nothing fancy here for nearly $4 more). God help you if you order from the NOT lunch special menu. This isn't so much inflation as just a ripoff. read more

Loved the ambiance and this restaurant felt so much bigger than I expected. The service was excellent and Miguel, our server, did a wonderful job. The drinks were fun and the food was just so good! We love coming for lunch on the weekends. It's not the closest place for us, but it's always worth it and feel like it's just the perfect spot to meet up with friends for a meal or family. read more

If you enjoy seafood, this joint has you covered. Great selection of Raw Oysters and the Lobster Roll is top notch! The atmosphere is very nice and the drinks and delicious. I recommend this place if you are in the mood for a great lunch or a nice evening out with friends & family. Pro Tip: When you check in tell them "The shrimp is delicious when peeled" and get 10% off your check. read more

The service was great!! My sisters and I chose this restaurant to celebrate our dads birthday. As soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our server Carlos! He was cheerful and patient with us (party of 8 with 3 kids). He gave us time to look over the menu ... we didn't feel rushed at all. We told him it was our dads birthday and he gathered about 4 other servers to sing "Happy Birthday" to my dad. He was always smiling and really seemed to enjoy his job. His customer service was exceptional and the food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back! read more

I went during Social Hour on a Monday. The appetizers I had were just ok so I'm glad I tried them out during Social Hour instead of dinner. I may go back for the oysters but it would also have to be during Social Hour. The wait staff was somewhat inexperienced but very polite nonetheless. Maybe it was a bad day...I might try again. read more

Seaside Oyster Bar - SOB Mussels and Bloody Cala-Mary - Seafood Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Today was our first time trying SOP, and we had a decent experience. Parking was easy, the interior is nice with lots of booth options and even a few fireplaces on the enclosed patio. I had the Free Willy (redfish sandwich), and it was blackened well, tasted great! I did opt for the mashed potatoes as my side instead of fries, and they unfortunately had virtually no flavor. The plainest mashed potatoes I've eaten, so I wouldn't recommend trying those. My husband had the redfish tacos, and he said those were also delicious! Ironically, the black beans he has with his also had virtually no flavor. Expect a good entree, but the sides need some help was my takeaway. The service was okay, not pristine or bad just fine. read more

Stopped in with a friend's family to have dinner together. That's adults. Had the smoked old fashioned. Great drink but a small pour. The blue point oysters were fantastic and they provided this pickled onion that you could put on top of the oysters. I absolutely loved it but I do like that kind of pickled taste. But it definitely will leave a lasting reminder of the restaurant. Dinner was great. Overall, we had a great time and the atmosphere was good for the night that we were having. read more

Thami and the chefs and staff at SOB, the Maritime-themed destination here at Suwanee Town Center get 5-Stars for excellent service , tasty food, and for just being a special place to dine with your better half. I came looking for Scollops but we both settled on their new Asian Blackened Chicken grilled with veggies and brown rice. Loved It. But here's asking the owners to please add a Shrimp & Scollops option to the menu. Not the tiny ones you see around here, but the quarter sized ones seared on both sides like at Atlanta Highway Fish Market in Gainesville. Here's hoping I don't have to keep going to Gainesville every time I want big Scollops read more

We decided to come in for an early lunch. What a nice place. The atmosphere was really nice. A very open and very clean place. My husband ordered all of the raw oyster types and they were perfect. He enjoyed the Maryland ones the best and the Canadian ones. I got a shrimp Po'Boy. It was so nice and refreshing. Not heavy at all the the shrimp was cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce was so very nice and full of flavor . The Cole slaw side was so nice and it had a totally different flavor than I'm use to. I would get a larger serving next time. It was so yummy tasting. We also got the chowder. Again it was perfect and had a really nice smoked flavor. Our waitress was the best and so kind and helped us decide on what we got . The manager was super friendly as well and greeted us and made sure we were comfortable. We will be back for sure . Thanks for a great lunch . read more

First visit and we loved it!! Never expected such a cool place in the neighborhood. We waited about 35 minutes on a weekend but was worthy. Very family friendly and nice drinks. Food was great in big portions. We had the oysters and were surprised how fresh they were. Prices were great for the food and tastes was wonderful. We will certainly go back and already told a couple of friends about it. Wish they will keep the price n quality for a long time!! read more

The atmosphere of this place is great and usually I really enjoy coming. We have been a handful of times. The lobster bisque is great and the lobster roll is awesome. The drinks are fine, nothing special. The Cesar salad is basically a bagged salad from the grocery store with added cheese. It might legitimately be from like Kroger. The Asian salmon was overcooked and watery. I couldn't really tell you what the flavor of the dish was supposed to be, it was just too chewy and tasted like watered down burnt honey. We didn't eat it and got a doggy bag for our pup at home to enjoy it. She won't mind it but I wouldn't recommend it to any person. The service was friendly but rushed. We got an our salad, appetizer and main course all at the same time. It wasn't ideal and food got cold. Oysters were good, I appreciate those when we come. Overall it was just a disappointing dinner, which really sucks when you pay a sitter and don't go out much. read more

This restaurant has never disappointed me. We had a ladies group of 15 - with individual checks for lunch. Anna (?) was our server and did a wonderful job. We had spoken to the manager a month as well as two days before and everything was completely set up. Food is excellent. The chitty chitty shrimp as well as the chowder are my favorite. Don't forget the rolls and the hush puppies! read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have better ratings. OK, let's go through the basics LoL. Pros.

Delicious restaurant and good vibes here as the design makes you feel like you're at the beach. Celebrated an anniversary here with my wife and enjoyed ourselves to charbroiled oysters, seafood chowder, hot lobster roll, and chitty chitty shrimp. Every dish was yummy and we paired our meal in with a brewskie and glass of wine. Our server was nice and the ambiance was good. Restaurant is clean and I recommend this restaurant for in special occasions or if you're in the mood for fresh seafood. Thank you S.O.B.! 4 solid stars! read more

Waited an hour and a half for appetizers. Entrees came shortly after. Had to ask for silverware. Had to ask for napkins multiple times. Food was decent but they messed up one of the orders, and we didn't want to wait any longer for them to fix it. If you're in a rush or don't want to wait 1 1/2+ hours for food, I would not recommend. Very bad service. read more

Not sure how this place has above a 4 star rating because this is one of the worst restaurants in Suwannee. Had a terrible experience from the minute we entered. I asked the server for hot tea to which he replied they don't have that, when on the menu it clearly states hot tea is available. Food was sooooo bad. Just take a look at how terrible my eggs Benedict came out with the broken hollandaise sauce and the egg was fully cooked. I asked the waiter how they could even bring a dish like that out to paying customers and that they should be ashamed. I sent it back and ate nothing. The rest of the table stated their food was very subpar and we all agreed this is a restaurant we would not return to. read more

Had a wonderful and delightful experience at S.O.B. the customer service was amazing. Our server was on point. Not pushy, very knowledgeable and courteous. We stopped in there to kill sometime and we are so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious. The vibe made you feel as though you were seaside. The music wasn't loud or obnoxious. The Manager stopped by to see how our experience was and there was not one ounce of a complaint. We will definitely go there again when we are in the area. Hats off S.O.B's. Great job! read more

There is plenty of parking near the restaurant. It's by Suwanee town center closer to the neighborhood side. We went on Sunday for lunch, no reservations but luckily was seated after only a 5 minute wait. There is inside and patio (currently covered) seating area. Some staff wore masks but definitely no social distancing. The inside is really pretty and definitely gives off a seaside feeling. There is a full bar available. Getting our food however took a really long time. Even in between our appetizer and entrees there was another long wait. At one point I thought we were done eating even though we were still waiting for the rest of our food to arrive... Chitty Chitty Shrimp: this is my favorite. Nicely flavored and the shrimps were a good size too! Rosemary beach oysters: not a big oyster eater, but this was pretty good! My friends did also really enjoy the raw oysters and would recommend. Seafood chowder: a bit too salty and I would have preferred the crackers on the side instead of in the soup already. Chicken and waffle: the waffle was nice, had a hint of spicy flavor to it. The chicken was super dry. Lobster roll: it was just okay. Lacked a bit in flavor. For $27 I have had better ones. Would've preferred the roll to be more buttered too. Ultimate low country boil: you can choose your seasoning, we got the SOB, it wasn't that spicy, but it is seasoned well. My son really enjoyed the crawfish and shrimp. read more

Well highly disappointed with this place. Firstly, it is called an oyster bar. When it first opened they had 5 or more types of oysters, which we could mark like sushi and make a dozen or more and try them all. Well, not anymore. You are only allowed to pick one type of the 3 choices. Not what my idea of an oyster bar. Then the service was alright but I think it is important to understand English?!? Our server couldn't understand us. All in all, it is a gimmick of a place. I will never be back because the food isn't worth it. And the reason why we went is for the oysters. Just a disappointment. read more

We really enjoyed our evening at SOB. We sat on the patio and the exterior windows were open. Beautiful night! Our server was Sabina and she was great! Very attentive and really friendly and charming. Thank you Sabina for a lovely dinner! We started with the calamari. Really delicious with charred lemon and tasty tartar sauce. Then I had the Cobb salad and my hubbie had the Free Willy fish sandwich. Both delicious. We love the relaxed atmosphere with gas fire pit tables on the patio. Thanks for a lovely evening! read more

Decided to give this place a try because I was in the mood for oysters and thought what better place to go to than an oyster bar. There is however not a huge variety of oysters to choose from. I settled on half a dozen charbroiled Rockefeller oysters, which were $2.50 each. The oysters were huge but I was not crazy about them. I do not enjoy raw oysters ‍ but would try the other charbroiled oysters next time! I also ordered the Nola style BBQ shrimp, I've never had them before but they lacked flavor and in my opinion were really oily. All the flavor and seasoning was buried at the bottom of the bowl. The bread on the other hand was delicious! Would go back for the bread alone! The bar looked well stocked and all the drink prepared looked really good, so o settled on a son of a beach punch, which was soooo good! The restaurant is nicely decorated, thought I was on Collins Ave in Miami. Clean and everyone was really nice. Will go back for drinks and bread! read more

Are here for the first time on Friday. The restaurant has only been open a week or two so they definitely have some things to nail down but overall a great experience. We ordered a ton of stuff off the menu to be able to try it all. Lobster roll - cold lobster roll, the two people that ordered it did not like that it was cold, said it would have been much better hot. Chicken and waffles - amazing! Great waffle Poke bowl - very tasty, great flavors, could have used some rice or a little more substance for $17 Calamari - good but very salty batter, leaves a bad after taste. Oysters - try the Massachusetts ones!! Chitty chitty shrimp - very good! Overall a good experience, it's a great environment and a good addition to Suwanee town center. The staff needs some more practice and training but they are new and that is totally normal! read more

I'm a seafood junkie so having a new restaurant in my area that focuses on that brings me such joy. The ambience here is beautiful and the indoor/outdoor dining experience brings it to another level. I will say that I tried almost everything on the menu so far and being that this is new I am going to give it some time to improve especially after speaking with the head chef. He took the time and sat down with me and my friends and listened to all of our critiques. I will give it another try maybe in the new year. They just need to work on the temperature of the food, lack of or too much salt, less fillings and more actual seafood. The rosemary beach oysters were good though but I wish they had more selection of oysters to be called an actual oyster bar. read more

I've visited this restaurant twice in the last 4 months. The reason it gets 3ish stars is because I feel like the food is just okay. I've had the Seafood Chowder and Shrimp and Grits. I did not like the seafood chowder at all. I can't explain it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The shrimp and grits were fine. I honestly can't remember much about it. On my more recent visit, I order a dozen oysters. The oysters were HUGE!! I enjoyed them, and I like the mignonette that came with it. The service is okay. Both times our servers started out really great, and then towards the end, they would be really absent. Overall I would say it's an average restaurant, but not a place I would frequent. read more

So, this review is just IMO only. I had been excited to try this place after seeing my friend's review, but let me say we didn't go for raw oysters like they did. We went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch with our two kids. We were sat down at a booth and let me just say, my husband is 6'3, 270lbs.. the booth was a little snug and the hostess didn't suit the seating. She was sweet and offered to move us, but we made it work. Next, my daughter ordered the lemonade and I ordered a regular coffee. NO REFILLS. I get that for the milk my son ordered, but coffee? And it's brunch! We ordered apps, fried green tomatoes and hush puppies. The tomatoes were pickled and very tart and served with a runny syrup. I didn't get it. The hush puppies were pretty tasty but not the best Ive had and served with cinnamon butter? Not sure I love that combo with savory hush puppies and peppers inside. My son ordered the grilled salmon, I asked for the sauce on the side but it was smothered all over and his was supposed to come with a side salad that never came. My daughter got the kids alfredo and we added shrimp and my husband and I split a two choice platter (Fried shrimp and fried oysters) that came with fries, slaw and hushpuppies. I tried my daughter's shrimp Alfredo and hers was probably the best and not saying too much. Her shrimp was cooked well and not fishy and her noodles were good as well. I didn't taste my son's, but as I mentioned before his side salad never came. The platter my husband and I split....not great at all. The oysters were very fishy and definitely over fried. His shrimp was decent but not spectacular by any means. I had to flag the waitress down twice at least for water/drink refills and etc. Overall, glad we tried it so we know, but we wont waste our money again. With tip the total was $110 and some change. read more
