We each had the turkey plate, so turkey slices and two sides each, and a "roll" which was so tiny it was almost funny, but it was hard. The dressing was fine--Not exceptional but also not awful. Our sides included green beans which made me remember my public school lunchroom. Skip those ! Be aware too that you can call and order for pickup but if you do, and your order isn't ready when you arrive, YOU must check at the SIDE counter and request that someone frequently check "call ins" --which are kept UNDER the counter (you can't get them yourself). And while the counter staff call out people's names for patrons who are sitting at tables to come and get their trays, the staff does NOT call out your name for pickups! We waited an extra 30 mins on our food -- trying not to be rude and ask. I'm glad I finally asked !! I've stopped at a few other places in this town coming through or home from the beach, and Bates is the cleanest. IF I try again, I will try the turkey sandwich.

Most surprising was the lack of oysters at the Oyster House. Fried oysters were the only ones offered. No raw, grilled, baked or broiled available. No redfish. I don't recall all of the other items they didn't have. I had fried oysters with red beans and rice and a side salad. All were OK. Presentation was bare bones: a plate with oysters and a bowl of beans and rice. No garnish-no parsley-no lemon wedges. Service was good. Ambiance is good. Lots of old photos on the walls. Some cute drawings and folksy sayings. I have enjoyed previous visits. This one was disappointing.

Food was standard Krystal fare and was good; we had double burgers, chicks, fries and tots. The employees were pleasant and brought our food to the table. Plenty of seating inside.
