Dry Dock Oyster Bar

Oysters on the half shell and crayfish boudin to start. Appetizers were good. Service took longer, kept apologizing. It was all you can eat shrimp (3 ways) and then were busy. Dinners were quail (small portion), Frog legs (large portion), Fried jumbo shrimp (not the ayce, those are smaller), ND Blackened sole with 3 shrimp (could only be grilled). Food was decent. Presentation lacking with the filet of sole which was broken up and pile on top of itself. Still tasted good. The worst part. There was a party of 7 or 8 in the same dining room. One man was extremely loud and obnoxious, and he wasn't even drinking. Spoiled the rustic atmosphere and they weren't leaving any time soon as they were having the ayce shrimp and a lot of beer. We had our meal boxed, got our check and left.

Great old school beach bar vibes. Phenomenal food and great service at an affordable price. Can't beat it! Highly recommend stopping in here for some grub. The oysters are better than in Corpus (and not as expensive). The catfish is sooo good. Their tarter and cocktail sauces are on point and freshly made. Had them with my catfish, frog legs and hush puppies. Not sure what other peoples problem is, but it’s not expensive, the service was fantastic and the food taste 👍👍

Was told this place is a 40+ year SA landmark and I believe it. The food was very good and appropriately price. Will be back. The seafood gumbo was amazing, the oysters fresh and they shuck them right at the bar in front of you! Didn’t get the all you can eat shrimp, but saw plenty and it looked amazing! The servers were busting their butts to make sure everyone was happy with their experience, and were extremely personable! Definitely recommend.

I wanna start off off with service was great Linda was very helpful as well as Lesli they where very busy when we showed up and when my family and I needed something they where very attentive to us however I ordered a Oyster po boy and the bread was burnt oysters where over cooked fries where cold and dry but when i showed this to Lesli she had them correct it I will definitely be back. Service at bar is great. The rest of my familys food no complaint! Go by and visit Linda and Lesli love love love the service they give.....

"Best restaurant we've visited in a long time. The food was amazing - so fresh, and with so much flavor! I can't even begin to describe their staff. Our waitress, Maricela was PHENOMENAL!!! She really made sure we had everything we needed and answered all my questions about the menu. It's not everyday you find places like this. I highly recommend going and asking for Maricela to be your waitress, I promise you won't be disappointed!"

You are going to feel like you're down by the coast. Everything is very fresh. Great oysters. Tuesdays and Thursdays all you can eat shrimp and it comes three ways fried, boiled or peel your own. Nice big mugs of beer ICE COLD. Gracie was great very friendly very helpful. Need to put this on the regular agenda. As we were leaving I ran into an old friend that said her and her husband go there every Thursday night. She said they've been doing it for years so that should tell you something. I don't think anybody could leave disappointed, full and barely walking but not disappointed! PS don't forget to get extra Hush Puppies LOL UPDATE... Still a good meal but, this visit left me a bit disappointed. Went on a Thursday for "all you can eat" shrimp but apparently it was "all we can get to your table" shrimp night. The servers were trying, but they said the kitchen lost their footing and couldn't keep up. I've been a server, a cook, a bartender and a manager. Things happen. I got that 100% but how a company rebounds from a "hick up" in a diners experiance is what will stay with their patrons. The servers were more than kind. I heard them having to apologize from table to table. As a manager, I would have hit the floor making sure the guests were not upset. A free dessert. A free or discounted meal. Even just an open apology for each table or each room might have been nice. I may be back, but if I do, if I see a lot of cars outside I may not want to risk this episode again.

Enjoyed the food at the Dry Dock. I ordered the fried Tilapia with fries, shrimp and hushpuppies. My friend ordered the dozen of oysters and shrimp with fries. It was a beautiful day to sit outdoors on the patio. You could also sit indoors either at the bar or the enclosed patio. Excellent service by our waiter Jason. Very friendly and came back often to make sure we were being taken care of. Also enjoyed the slice of Key Lime pie.

The oysters were great. Yhe second we walked in the service was amazing. The bartender came out to take our order and was very personable and nice. Even introduced us to the kitten that hangs around outside who was just the sweetest thing ever. I'd post pics of the food but only got pictures of the kitten lol
