Our favorite place to dine in Apalach. Duck fries are a must. Sometimes we drive the hour plus just for them. Great selection of beers.

We had a party of 9. The Service and FOOD was amazing. Graham and Becky are the best ever! We are local and will definitely be coming back.

Crab dip is a must. Raw oysters are great....you'll probably have to ask for the crackers ;p but they have Tabasco on the table now which is a big plus for me. Fried oyster po boy was great. Very happy they have started offering oysters again, from Indian Pass most recently. Great draft beer selection. Hope that they start offering oyster city brewing company beer again once they open back up. Always has been a treat going here. Sad to see the grilled fish tacos and grilled fish "catch of the day" entrees are no longer offered. You can only get fried fish... Every place offers fried fish. This place used to offer some of the best grilled fish in the area, and it's a tragedy they don't anymore.

Incredible oysters, great service and good drinks. Plus it is about the only place open on a Sunday night. If you like mollusks and beer, this is the place to come!

No waiting. Great service. We chose Fish n Chips. Batter uninspired, didn't add to taste of fish. Large portion. Coleslaw was also uninspired. For a location that is a main player in Apalachicola it didn't live up to its perceived reputation.

What a horrible disappointment. This was one of my favorite places to eat in the area while managed by the former owner. It has been completely destroyed. Food is horrible, service is even worse. So sad.

The Owl Cafe used to be one of my favorite restaurants to visit whenever I came to the Apalachicola area, but after this experience, I don’t think I’ll be returning.
The treatment we received by the waitstaff was uncalled for. When I tried ordering a pasta dish off the kids section of the menu, the waitress took on a rude and condescending tone as if I was trying to be deceitful with my order when I was simply wanting a plain dish.
The solution that was offered was not acceptable either. Being told that you have to order double the amount of food that you want, and pay the price for double, is not a good solution. Maybe if they hadn’t spent so much money on gaudy marble walls, they wouldn’t have to up charge consumers so much
Ate something here while passing through. It was very nice and there was something for the kids to paint. Portions are very large and the beer selection is great. Great ambience.

Always have looked forward to eating at the owl when coming to this area. We had an excellent lunch and service from Sherrie this weekend. We were concerned because it changed owners a year or so ago and the reviews indicated that it had gone down hill. Sherri said the new owner just hired the best Chef in January and things were excellen! We would not have realized there had been any ownership change. Give them a try!
