Bruno's Oysters

I have relocated to Florida from NY over two years ago. For the most part, food here is good, but generic. I could not find Italian food here in Kissimmee to save my life. Being Italian, and from NY, and being a cook myself, my standards are high. My wife and I found Bruno's a month ago. Well, we are regulars now. I had dinner there on New Year's Eve, and again last night, can't wait till Friday to go back. Thank you guys! - Love Bruno's!!!

We really wanted to love Bruno's. The staff is lovely and the food itself—specifically the oysters and sandwiches—is excellent. Unfortunately, the logistics fell short. We waited over an hour for our meal, and our oysters sat unclaimed for 30 minutes while we waited. It’s a wonderful concept, but the experience wasn't consistent enough for a return trip.

Good oysters, swell room/location, and decent wait time.
Would have been out of my price range if it wasn't Christmas Holiday.
Otherwise, it was a good Saturday afternoon place.

We live close by and wanted to have oysters for dinner. Restaurant looked great on the web. However, the oysters were very small and overpriced for what they were. I felt they should have been in the food court area with the set up as they are counter serve with restaurant prices. Also their tip for counter serve starts at 20% and goes up from there. They do not offer water and said they have no ice. Very disappointed as this experience should have been so much better.

“Don’t let the silly complaints fool you—this place is excellent.”
I almost didn’t come here because I saw some of the bad reviews… glad I ignored them.

This experience did not start well because I placed my order on the qr code site (like all the booths do) and literally never received a text that my order was ready. After about 25 minutes of waiting we walked up to check if it was ready and the person who was working was very dismissive and said the order was on the counter. Who knows how long it was sitting there since we never got the text that it was ready, and with seafood that is extremely discouraging. Ultimately we were eating our food over 30 minutes later and it was extremely bland. We got the lobster roll and there was no butter, no aioli or anything else that it said it came with except parsley. Not even the roll was buttered and the chips were obviously generic.

Not at all worth the cost, I’ll never order from here again and will recommend people don’t order from here as there are so many better options at Plant St Market!

We placed our order and we waited 30 minutes and were never texted that our order was ready. So I go up to the counter to stand there and be ignored just to find out my food was ready almost 20 minutes prior. For such expensive food, you would think they could at least text you once your order is ready.

Chicken Pate, Lobster Roll as well as the Fantastic Selection of Oysters!

My wife and I went to Bruno's Oysters yesterday (7/12/25) and we were very disappointed and we will never go back again and will never recommend this place to anyone. The menu looked good and we were eager to go there. First walking in I liked the old rustic look and atmosphere as part of the Plant St Market Place in Winter Garden, FL. As I walked in looking around I did not see a kitchen or door leading to a kitchen, just an interesting thought, and we just picked a table and sat down. Nobody greeted us when we came in, it was just help yourself. We sat down and looked around wondering what do we do now. There were about 4 employees standing behind the bar and a counter, one with his phone in his face, where the oysters were on display. Nobody looked at us or came over to our table with menus. So I got up and walked over to the oyster counter and asked, can we have a menu and how do we order? I was told here. I asked about the oysters which look good on display. We ordered 6 raw oysters, the 6 roasted oysters, the lobster roll and the bone marrow. Now I have seen bone marrow many times on TV shows but never tasted it, so we wanted to try this. Just a note here, behind the oyster counter was a toaster oven, that was the kitchen we learned later. All the hot dishes were cooked in the toaster oven.

Now on to the foods. The oysters were good and looked fresh, but at $42.00 a dozen, they did not taste that good. The lobster roll was tasty but was small and looked like only half a lobster was used to make it and this was $23.00. The 6 roasted oysters were good tasting but very small and was $22.00. The roasted bone marrow then came and the server apologized for taking so long because they can only cook one thing at a time in the toasted oven he said. Never having bone marrow, I know from watching TV that you scooped out the center part which is the marrow and eat that. I was confused because looking, I only saw what looked like a black goo inside. I took my spoon and started scraping the inside of the bone. All I got was about 1/2 teaspoon of this black goo out of the whole bone. I tasted it and it was bad. Both of the bones we got were like that and this was $18.00. I should have complained right then, but we do not like conflict and I would just write a review on all this.

This was our experience eating at Bruno's Oysters on Plant St. We live within walking distant of Plant St and as locals we will never go back there.
