Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar is a highly regarded restaurant, known as a Sarasota institution. It has been a tradition for many families, including a mention of a "big black family," to visit for over thirty years. The restaurant, which has a newpaper-paneled menu with a nautical theme, is located along a pristine mangrove creek.
One standout dish is the blackened grouper sandwich, and the King Crab boil boat is also highly recommended. The fried seafood combo is noted for its fresh and perfectly cooked seafood. While the service is described as just "okay" by one reviewer, with a waiter who wasn't particularly sociable, the food is consistently praised for its high quality. Despite being on the pricier side, the food's quality is said to be worth it.
