The Capitol Oyster Bar is a highly recommended restaurant known for its delicious seafood, stunning river views, and lively atmosphere. Customers often praise the amazing food, with many highlighting the gumbo made with a blonde roux, various seafood, and sausage as a standout dish. The breading on the shrimp and oysters is crispy, and the large shrimp come with great cocktail and tartar sauces. While some guests have noted that the crust on the catfish can fall off, the flavor remains exceptional; one visitor loved the whole catfish. The unique corn ribs also received compliments for their good flavor. The service is frequently commended, with one reviewer mentioning a waitress who was very nice and had a great sense of humor. Everything is cooked properly, with generous portions. The menu features a variety of fried dishes, though some diners wish for more options like crab cakes, clams, and grilled or pan-seared scallops. The restaurant offers live music on Sundays and has an adjacent RV park with affordable, well-equipped sites. Visitors can enjoy dining outside on the deck built around trees by the Alabama River, making it a perfect spot for a meal with a view, especially with fans mounted for comfort on hot days. Overall, the Capitol Oyster Bar is described as a hidden gem that provides a wonderful dining experience for both locals and travelers, though it's recommended to arrive early as it can get crowded.
