Bartender, servers and managers were on point. Food was amazing, definitely recommend. Oysters were the freshest we've ever had!

Fantastic and unique atmosphere. The food specials are always new and creative. I love the way the chef infuses different flavors to create new dishes. There is so much variety, everyone can find something they love.

I don’t normally write reviews. The Drunken Oyster deserves this review. The food was amazing but our server whose name was Brennan was absolutely the best server I have ever had anywhere. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. The service was above and beyond. I would highly recommend this restaurant and especially the server to anyone looking for an enjoyable evening out. I wish I would’ve taken pictures of the actual food, but my son did get a picture of the cake. That cake was worth every calorie :-)

We were looking for a place to blow off steam from our busy week, and we found it! It was busy but inviting. We sat at the bar and were served promptly by Jordan, Embree, and Gerardo. We ate the delicious salmon over rice and zucchini and then sat and enjoyed laughter, singing and music by Groove Anthum. I would definitely recommend it!

What a great place! I came in as a friend told me I had to come here. It just happened to be Fat Tuesday and was packed. They found a table for me and was amazing gracious in everything. The featured meal was amazing, sangria was great and the live music was on target. Can't recommend enough.

Came here for a date night, first time guests with a reservation during a busy time, we were taken care of swiftly, sat, and introduced to Nicole, our amazing waitress. She recommended favorites, which we took her up on and loved, we got drinks, had conversation and enjoyed the atmosphere of live music, beautiful smells, and welcoming vibes. We will definitely be coming and hoping to be sat with Nicole again!

We went in for she a long work week from out of town. They had great reviews so we thought we’d give it a try. It did not disappoint! The drinks, appetizer, meal, & service were impeccable! The pecans in the vegetable appetizer really set it off! It was a little more than I was expecting to pay, but so well worth it! We would definitely return.
