“Walking by thus place to a movie, the air was sweet and smoky. IT SMELLED SO GOOD, even when it was closed. So. I had to try it when we left. I was on my way to dinner, didn't matter, bought 3 meals and a blueberry pie (enough for 2 unless you play football), home next day I tried everything. 5 stars on everything.

I can't fathom that there's better Anerican style barbecue within 20 miles. It's takeout only.

Vegetarian options: Not really, there's sides but the greens have turkey, so enjoy your pie and macncheese.“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“It was even better than I remember. I had the catfish po boy, chicken & waffles. The French bread, remoulade sauce & generous seasoning of the fish were delicious. I would definitely not consider myself a grits fan but the fried cinnamon sugar grits…so good. I can definitely post photos of empty boxes but other than that ??‍♀️. You’re going to have to order your own. Make sure you order directly on the restaurant site www.gritznwafflez.com. Signed up with my email when I ordered & got a discount.“

“A great place for contemporary southern style chicken, sides and desserts! Rotating selection of side dishes some of which are vegetarian. I had the chicken sandwich (amazing!) and a side of chipotle macaroni salad which was also incredible. The desserts like the banana pudding pie are also a sure thing and all portions are generous.“

“Love the chicken and waffle so much that the “eggshell” waffle is spongy soft!It’s super chill to eat at the alley, food will be delivered to your table after mobile ordering by scanning the QR code. feels like a take out with seats offered. (yes dog friendly)have to say my table was wobbling and a bit dangerous to eat on. this happens a lot at outdoor restaurants just it’s a little struggling“
