All of that came to 100 bucks including 2 drinks. For the price, you don't get alot of food due to lack of combos as everything is purchased separately. Nice seating areas but not good for groups of more than 4 people. The po boy wasn't good as it was small and was dry as can be. Potato salad wasn't good at all to much mustard and tasted more like a slaw than potato salad. The soup was the best thing. Two hours after eating here and we were both in the bathroom non stop for the rest of the day and night so we got some kind of food poisoning probably from the oysters they didnt seem very cold like they should be. Btw this was are only meal for the day. First time getting sick from eating oysters.

There's always a variety of oysters from five or six different locations, and today, I had to compete with my daughter and grandson to get my fair share.

While the seafood is wonderful, there is a variety of offerings that include some Mexican, some barbecue, fresh sandwiches and salads. Service is always top notch.

(It's not technically on the menu but the waitress offered it when he said he didn't know what to get.) Finally, my husband got the catfish po-boy and said, "It's the best piece of blackened fish I've ever had!" (I agree!) The remoulade and cajun sauces were good, too.

After reading all the reviews we headed south and are pleased to share that everything and everyone we encountered were absolutely top notch...food was prepared perfectly from the breads, calamari, trout and swordfish; and the proportions more than enough to require a stroll along the river after the Chocolate chocolate cake. Our server was amazing and you can't beat the riverfront location and views. They don't take reservations and those negative reviews usually involved large parties and special needs that take time to accommodate. Check Scottie's out, and enjoy! I would have given 5 Stars except for the pay to park phenomenon and QR codes that can be just annoying and have appeared in every major city. Nothing is free anymore including parking.

The stuffed mushrooms did not taste fresh and also lacked flavor. The calamari lacked flavor as well and was a big disappointment. The server was nice and set our expectations, advising that some of the items we ordered were more of an acquired taste, but we were still disappointed. There was a server change at one point, and the new server was not careful when delivering the food and spilled the gumbo upon arrival. Considering the price and value, this place is definitely a one and done.

He thought the seafood was good, but it wasn't his favorite place we've been. Since seafood isn't really my thing, I ordered the burger instead. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It had a bit of a fishy residue/taste, which I'm guessing comes from being cooked in a kitchen that primarily serves seafood. If you love seafood, that may not bother you at all, but as someone who doesn't enjoy seafood, it just wasn't for me. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it just wasn't quite our style, but if you're a big seafood lover, it may be worth trying for yourself since tastes can definitely vary.

The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.

It was also a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. I love that they work with local organizations for fresh vegetables and meat! Our waiter was very nice and fairly attentive. But the food... For the good - the crab cake was delicious. It was like all crab meat with no filler and was very tasty. The pimento cheese was also SO yummy. You could tell it was made fresh and had a great flavor. The pita it came with was fine, a little over-grilled. I was not crazy about the fried okra. I wish the pieces weren't just cut in half, because to me they had that slimy okra texture inside. My gf said they weren't THAT bad, but I really had to push myself to eat them. The rosemary fries have a great flavor and were crispy (I prefer thicker fries but my gf enjoyed these). I LOVE mac and cheese and was super excited to try theirs. It was very creamy and had a good flavor but there was way too much cheese for the amount of noodles. Like the ratio was pretty off. Now for THE issue. My gf ordered the Filet Mignon, medium. It came raw and without the blue cheese compound butter. By the time the waiter came to check on us, I was half done eating. He took the steak to be put back on the grill and brought it back with a bowl of crumbled blue cheese. It was still raw inside. He brought us extra fries, but by the time it came back I was done eating. She asked for it to go and it was STILL RAW. She had cut it, so it was super obvious if you looked. The manager came and talked to us and they took it off the bill, but for a $40 filet mignon it should not take 3 tries to cook it right and it still not really be right. She said there are cold spots on the grill and they're training a new line cook, but it was not a good look... I'd maybe give more of a pass if they were packed, but there was no one eating inside and maybe two other tables of folks outside.
