A really good time on the beach stopped by and had some oysters and then went for a quick swim. Had a couple of really nice beers, too. Perfect for a casual time.

We stopped at Dirty Don's for happy hour while we walked along the boardwalk. The drinks were fun and the location was perfect- right on the boardwalk. Finish the pitcher and get the t-shirt!

We went to Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar & Grill at 9:45 PM. The place was still busy, and people were clearly still being served. We sat at one of the outdoor tables. A young woman was taking orders from the table behind us, but completely ignored us. We thought maybe she was in a rush and tried to be understanding.

My husband went inside to ask for menus. Someone who appeared to be working at the bar rudely snapped, “The kitchen is closed.” When my husband pointed out that someone had just taken an order behind us, another polite and understanding server stepped in and kindly said she would assist us. She brought menus and took our drink orders.

Shortly after, the same rude staff member came back angrily, repeating that the kitchen was closed. We explained our order had already been taken, but he replied, “We can’t cook it.” Even after reminding him that we were just handed menus and placed our order, he insisted again—this time saying the kitchen had closed at 9:55. When we pointed out how unreasonable this was, he aggressively said, “Fine, I’ll cook it.” Frankly, we didn’t feel comfortable eating anything prepared by someone so visibly hostile, and we canceled our order.

No one deserves to be treated this way just because a place has good ratings. Since it’s a seafood-focused area, we assumed most places would serve decent food—and in fact, later that evening we had a wonderful dining experience elsewhere.

We usually make it a point to support local businesses when we travel, but this one was a huge disappointment. A dirty kitchen, rude staff, and a complete lack of hospitality. We will never return—and definitely won’t be recommending this place to anyone.

We were in town from Detroit and this is the only bar we kept coming back to. Maegan, the bartender, was absolutely amazing. She was fun to talk to and took very good care of us. Highly recommend! And ask for Maegan!!

I’m an oyster snob and the raw oysters were great! Homemade hush puppies. Need I say more? Bartender was friendly and helpful.

Amazing place. Great seafood. Workers are very kind and there is occasionally live music. Decorations are fun and it's right by the beach.
