Gary’s : Greatest A*s Restaurant Ya’ll’ SeriouslyThe wood paneling wall and hospitality felt like home. As we sat at the bar for our dinner service, it felt like a private meal. Not only was the food feeling straight from the sea, but our waiter must have been a merman in a past life. The way he was able to chuck oysters and advise our tastebuds was another level. Was it the aphrodisiacs or the atmosphere ? Who’s to say. Either way, I was loving every second.Although, I was missing my friend Gary whom had passed recently - I love eating raw at Gary’s.

We found this place because my father in laws is named Gary. Gary’s do it well.Where do I begin!? This place is exceptional low country cooking! First off, I’m from Ohio and typically when you leave the state you need to ask for Busch Light and places usually make fun of you for even asking. However, I asked the bartender here for a Busch Light and he said “hell yeah we got it. This is Polk County.” When I heard that I knew I was right at home.Get the raw Oysters and Cat Fish Strips. You cannot go wrong. The perfect dive coming from small town Ohio people!

Good place to eat, great food Good customer service. The only problem I have is that I placed a order over a year ago with a call in order and received a family emergency on my way to pick up my order so obviously I didn't pick up my order nor did I call to cancel but I should have but that was the least of my concerns. So I can no longer call in a order for pick up still to this day a year plus later.

I'm from Maine and if your looking for the best oysters you have to come to Gary's I cannot rave enough on how amazing they are and the homemade onion rings yummy, Carla our server was such a sweetheart no matter how busy she always has a smile. The staff and owner make you feel right at home ... I'm going to miss Gary's and Carla ?

Go for the oysters and nothing else. Easily the worst fish I've ever had. Sent the broiled grouper back(wrong fish to begin with and badly overcooked anyway) and the broiled flounder was just as bad (again overcooked to the point of mush). Ordered medium rare steak-came out blue (seared on the outside and cold/raw as raw could be inside like maybe cooked from partially frozen?). Fish dip wasn't good either-it tasted like canned fish was mixed in and there were hard chunks also. They don't use real butter for baked potatoes or seafood. There was a grit of sand in my salad. The raw oysters were fine. Service was excellent though. Extremely underwhelming.
