Dirty Don's Oyster Bar & Grill

Just a tourist who loves oysters! This is my second time at Dirty Don's and per usual they didn't disappoint. The server is the best ever she's so fun to talk to but I unfortunately don't remeber her name. My husband got the fish tacos that were absolutely delicious! I got the oysters and it was the perfect meal before our day on the beach! Thanks for an amazing meal!

Disgusting don’t waste your money ! Ordered the Parmesan oysters and was overcharged due to “gratuity auto being added blindly even though this was a pick up order. Let’s not talk about the quality of the oysters a slimy mess no where near fresh. Save your money go elsewhere. Never again

Recommended dishes: Raw Oysters and Peel and Eat Shrimp, Seafood, Sandwich, Lobster Bites

Came here for lunch and enjoyed the service and food! Great location even if it's not beach side still had the seafood shack appeal. We dined outside as we had our dog with us and our server Christina was attentive and friendly. Had the oyster roast for an app and then we got the shrimp tacos and blackened fish sandwich (forgot to get a picture of the fish sandwich before my hubby devoured it 😎) Everything came out hot and tasted great! Be prepared to shuck your oysters for the roasted oysters which was fun even though it was messy 😃 You can also order other items on the 'roast' special. Will definitely return. Yum!

It is the worst food I have ever eaten in my life. How is it possible that they offer a menu when they don't put any love into the food? I do not recommend this place. Don't waste your money and your time there. I left the entire food, it had no flavor.

The place is perfect, it's facing the sea, but a place like that with such bad service shouldn't be there.

The raw oysters was very good, however the lobster mac and cheese along with the steamed shrimp very mushy

**Disappointing Experience at Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar**

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar was unacceptable. The service was extremely poor — it took far too long just to get our food, and the staff didn’t seem attentive or concerned about the delays.

When the oysters finally arrived, I was shocked to find they were not fresh — in fact, some appeared to have **parasites**. It was honestly disgusting and made me question the kitchen's food safety practices.

To make matters worse, I was charged for food I couldn’t even finish due to the quality. When I brought it up, the staff showed no concern and still insisted I pay the full bill. No apology, no accountability.

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, I won't be coming back — and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a safe or enjoyable dining experience.

Met some friends for dinner (21st street location), never been here before. Had a local musician playing acoustical guitar and singing outside on the patio (Paul Grimshaw) who was awesome. Food and atmosphere was great. Would visit here again.
