About Tailgate Oyster Bar

Tailgate Oyster Bar is a casual and charming spot with a refurbished garage atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in oysters served three ways: raw, grilled, and Rockefeller. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. The oysters are in the middle of the road—neither too small nor too big, with just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, making them perfect for most people. The baked oysters are a specialty and highly recommended. The clam chowder is fantastic, and steamed shrimp and steamed clams are also popular choices. The key lime pie is very tart and a must-try. The service is excellent, with friendly staff that make guests feel welcomed and appreciated. Live music from the 60s and 70s adds to the fun atmosphere. The owners are friendly and attentive.

However, some reviews mention a strong oyster smell that can be noticeable inside. While the atmosphere is lively and fun, the smell may not be for everyone. The restaurant does fill up quickly, so arriving 15 minutes before opening is recommended if you want to avoid waiting or choose your seat. Overall, Tailgate Oyster Bar is a great place to enjoy good food, music, and a relaxed environment, especially if oysters are what you’re after.
