Food was very good. But we got the boat specials on the back. Was said to feed 2 people but I’d say 3 or 4. And also it’s not priced. But it was well over $100 just for that.

The food was very good. The best part was the peeling shrimp and choosing the dipping sauces. Good place to eat with the family. Server Kristel was very friendly with us, we are grateful for the warmth in receiving us and talking with us. Good place to speak Spanish too.

We ate here for lunch. We loved every we tried. We had the mahi majority sandwich blackened, it had the perfect amount of seasoning and a nice grilled taste to it. We also got potato salad and hush puppies and both tasted really good. Iced tea was very refreshing. The place is older but very clean and a great atmosphere and view. Our waitress was fast and attentive. We would highly recommend and we will return when we are in the area again.

Located on the water. Casual with mostly picnic table seating outside. Best fried calamari. Also Norfolk scallops and shrimp was excellent.

We dined at Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar on our vacation, and while the food was absolutely delicious, what truly made the experience phenomenal was our server, Leo. He was unbelievably personable, attentive, and genuinely kind — it felt like dining with an old friend who cared deeply about making our visit special. Leo went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, offering great recommendations and keeping the atmosphere light and fun. Will definitely return back!

Oct 1st 2024 Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar saved the day for my family. My daughter was scheduled to be married on Lido beach at Limetree Beach Resort but Hurricane Helene crushed those dreams and plans. We stopped to eat at Phillippi Creek after picking up wedding decorations from Limetree and I had a thought that maybe we could have the wedding on their dock. I asked the managers Ricky and Jorge if it would be possible and they said YES!!! With only a few days to change coarse Lisa and her team with Tied The Knot weddings made it happen. It turned out to be the best day ever for all of us!!!
I can't thank the staff at Phillippi Creek for saving the day and the the excellent service they provided the wedding party and all of the delicious food as always!!!
My favorite place to eat 🥰

We wanted to love this place. I pass it every day on my way to work. Old Florida vibe is cool, but very disappointed because one of us had a long black hair on our plate and they weren’t very apologetic (of course we lost our appetite). Fish was very dry to the point where it didn’t taste fresh… they also advertise they have live music on their website and the waitress acted confused and said they rarely do. There are better options in the area.
