This place understands seafood the way it's meant to be enjoyed -- fresh, clean, and unpretentious, with just enough coastal flair to set the mood. The seafood tower is a true showstopper: lobster, crab, oysters, and all the right accompaniments, beautifully presented and genuinely fresh. You can taste the care in the sourcing. The crab claws were tender and sweet, and the sauces complemented rather than overpowered -- the old, honest way, just as it should be. The space itself is bright, airy, and modern, with a relaxed coastal feel. It's spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor seating with open windows in warmer weather is a wonderful touch -- inviting, easy, and made for lingering meals. Service deserves special mention. Our server was genuinely kind, attentive, and never rushed, striking that rare balance where you feel well taken care of without being hovered over. The kind of hospitality that lets the food speak for itself. All in all, Seaside Oyster Bar feels like a little seaside escape tucked into Suwanee -- honest seafood, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed elegance that keeps you coming back.

Super glad we stopped here! We were going back to Decatur from Buford but decided to check out Seaside since traffic was ridiculous. (Sill GA traffic). The restaurant in in Suwannee at their town center. It's massive with plenty of seating and a nice bar area. They offer a social hour menu (happy hour) so we took advantage of the amazing deals on there. We had some oysters, calamari, and mussels. Everything so super fresh tasting and delish. All the staff was friendly, the bartender we had was very kind and helpful. I wish Seaside was closer to home bc I'd be all the time. read more

I came here with my in law just to get some vittles. I was impressed on the entry. The have a beautiful baby blue colored sign displaying it's name on the side of a building painted white. There is a huge outdoor section that's huge enough to be an individual restaurant. On the inside it's decorum was beautifully crafted with bulby fixtures throughout the restaurant and luxurious waiting lounge. It appears that this would be a family setting because the tables and booths were really large We were kindly greeted and seated a beautiful soul by the name of Lupita came over and took care of us. She claims that she's new on the job but she handled her position like a seasoned waitress. I ordered the the seafood platter that came with a medium sized salad. I choose fried catfish fried oysters, and fried calamari. They give you a choice of three, two, or one entree with the price for each. Shrimp was in the list as well. My food was really delicious. I have gotten away from fried food but I was on vacation and in the south so I enjoyed my time. The tartar sauce was the best I've ever tasted, it paired wonderfully with the catfish. I was given ketchup for the oysters. I ordered cocktail sauce which is a better compliment for my oysters and calamari. I could not eat it all. I guess I should have not eaten the salad. And the hush puppies is a part of any seafood platter, in fact if you don't have hush puppies, you don't have a real seafood platter. I SAID THAT! So I had two small sizes hush puppies. My in-law had a chicken patty platter that consisted of a pineapple ring and cheese, accompanied by French fries. The food was really delicious and it's a must return when I come back to Lawrenceville Ga. read more

We've always wanted to try this place, and we're so glad we did! Since we arrived early for dinner, we were seated immediately. The restaurant has a lovely open layout with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. About an hour later, the place was bustling with diners. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Miguel, who checked on us regularly throughout our meal. His attentiveness and excellent service made our experience even better. The menu offers a fantastic selection of mouthwatering dishes. For appetizers, we went with the Noa BBQ shrimp--highly recommended by our server--and a half-dozen oysters. We forgot to take a picture of our appetizers. The spice blend on the shrimp was absolutely delicious! For our entrées, I had the lobster bisque, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, while the blackened Asian-glazed salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Every dish was a hit, and we can't wait to come back! If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit. read more

Service is very weird here. The first time, our server made very awkward conversation in lieu of answering any questions about the menu clearly. The second time, the server seemed miffed about our large party and very scattered. Then there was the $100 credit card charge I had to call and get removed. Apparently happens all the time so if you reserve for a small party, make sure you're not getting double charged. Things NOT to get: the Bloody Cala-Mary appetizer, the sangria bowl to share, tarragon cucumber lobster roll. The design and setting are very nice, feels like you're at the beach! Oysters and fried seafood are good enough. Twice is plenty for me. read more

After trying oysters for the first time at a Yelp event, I knew I wanted to have a restaurant experience eating them. Ive pasted this restaurant a bunch of times, so it was already on my list. My boyfriend and I arrived for an early dinner and chose to sit on the spacious covered outdoor area. After I ordered wine and he got a beer, the waitress gave us a few minutes to go over the menu. They offer a wide variety of meals for an oyster bar, so I know we'll have to come back. We ended up ordering the New Orleans charbroiled oysters and they were PHENOMENAL. With the lemon juice and hot sauce they provided, it was like an explosion of flavors in every bite. For the entree, we split the Sob Platter, choosing the blackened shrimp and fried catfish. The shrimp was my absolute favorite part of the platter. It also came with slaw, hush puppies, and fries, which all tasted great and paired perfectly with each other. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here. read more

Oyster were very fresh, service was friendly but a little disjointed, probably due to being short handed. Our server went behind the bar and made our drinks as it was taking so long. They should probably have an area where idle servers can congregate out of sight of customers who are waiting on their server or anyone else to get them a check. We'll go back as it's not normally like this. read more

We visited Seaside Oyster Bar (SOB) while we were in town for happy hour after a craving for oysters. Their $1 happy hour oysters were fantastic. Quality was great, the oysters were very fresh. Not pre-shucked either. The rest of the happy hour menu was OK. We also really enjoyed SOB's fried catfish dish. It's a large portion that's shareable for two. Service is great. Our server actually recommended the catfish plate which we ended up liking alot. She checked on us quite frequently and was very cheerful. Near the end of our meal, the manager came over to speak with us after hearing it was our first time. He came over to thank us for trying them out and offered a coupon to come back next time for a free appetizer. The vibes are chill. They have patio seating that's dog friendly and with heaters too. Restaurant is spacious with lots of free parking. We're a fan! Can't wait to be back next time. read more

We arrived for a quick happy hour on Monday afternoon. We were seated quickly by the bar area. They have the bar decorated in Valentine decor which was so cute. We ordered a few items from their happy hour menu for $7/each. Ordered mussels which was delicious , seafood chowder cup was salty for my liking, mini shrimp & grits was okay too much cream. Overall it was a nice stop, will come back for the mussels in the future. read more

This is a very generous 4 stars but I would really feel bad going 3, so consider this a round up from 3.5. Came here for a family birthday dinner. It's a nice restaurant in the middle of no-where Georgia. They have a small indoor seating area and a covered outside area and an open outside area. I got a cup of their seafood chowder and the blackened redfish with a smoked old fashioned. The drink was very good. Maybe a little sweet, but I was impressed this restaurant in bumble**** had large ice cubes. Anyway, the drink was really good. The chowder was probably my favorite. It was thick, and hit and delicious. The redfish was good, but the gravy was like a sausage gravy (maybe it was a sausage gravy) and while good, it was overpowering. I think it would be better with the gravy on the side. The blackened fish was good without the sauce but the gravy would have helped the grit cake. Also, the potatoes were more like breakfast potatoes than dinner potatoes. They were good but they just didn't go with the meal. Anyway, it was a good meal. Nothing special overall but good. Service was decent but again, nothing special. All in all, I would come back but I'm not in any rush to do so. Apologies for any typos or bad grammar. I'm not wearing my glasses and really don't know what I've typed. read more

Finally got to try this spot out, for my birthday dinner too, and it was awesome! Really impressed on my first stop in and kind of disappointed I haven't been sooner now. Got a half dozen oysters that were just excellent. Medium meat and brine with no grit. Just perfect! Also got the snow crab legs which were also well done. You have to do the work yourself but it's worth it. A nice touch is they give you a pair of chefs runner gloves to use. I liked that because my hands didn't smell like crab after the meal. Great spot, will definitely be back! read more

The food was very good. Went about mid day on a Wednesday and it was busy at all. The waitress was very welcoming and kind. The food was good and made me want to try other items. They have a brunch, lunch and dinner menu along with happy hour specials. We sat on the patio and it was very comfortable and spaced out. For appetizers we got the Cajun friend rice and pimento cheese which were absolutely delightful. The lobster roll could have used a little more creamy sauce along with the Nola pasta needing a little more butter sauce, but both were fulfilling. There was plenty of parking and easy access to the building. I would return for sure to try other menu items. read more

The service was great our waiter was funny, kind & personable . The Dinner menu is extremely extensive so we gave our waiter some options and let him guide us a bit . We started with the seafood poutine which truthfully tasted like a clam chowder soup poured on French fries topped with shrimp mussels, bacon & cheese . Just a whole lot going on that by the time you manage to start eating the FF are Mush and you're just eating the mussels and shrimp . It tasted very rich but also a lot going on maybe even too much going on. Our Entrees were good . My sister went for the braised ShortRibs & I went for the seafood grits with shrimp I would have enjoyed it better without the tomato chutney. But presentation was excellent. Our drinks were amazing I love a good smoked old fashioned and it was executed perfectly. The atmosphere is really nice love the color scheme and decore and definitely love the outdoor seating options with the fire. When I go again I'll be sure to read the menu and ingredients of each dish more closely. Rather then letting our waiter guide us . There's so much going on it's easy to get overwhelmed . But I do love that the menu is so detailed and all the ingredients in the dish is listed . plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

Everything was a 10/10! We got seated right away and our server was very attentive to us, we never had to look for him or flag him down. We started off with the mussels and fried green tomatoes. The mussels were nice and tender and had really great flavor. That was my first time trying mussels and I would definitely get them again. The coating on the tomatoes tasted like funnel cake, which may sound weird but it paired perfectly with the freshness of the tomatoes, so yummy. For my entree I got the lobster roll and my friend got the seafood boil. My roll was packed with lobster on a soft butterfly bun and the fries it came with were some of the best fries I've ever had. My friend said her boil was really good. For dessert we both got the crème brûlée and it was not bland or flavorless at all, it was creamy and had a nice sweet vanilla taste. I had the beach punch for a drink and it was okay, my friend had the lychee drink and she really liked it. Overall this place was amazing, loved it and will definitely be back! read more

Totally would recommend this place for happy hour. They have a wonderful bar staff in Hannah and John. They are funny and kind and have great recommendations. I loved the oysters. They came with 4 different things to accommodate them like horseradish, grilled lemon, cocktail sauce and pickled onions. Super yummy! I also tried the fried green tomatoes. They are good but not into the sweet batter that they are fried in. The Chitty Chitty shrimp are the bomb!!!! And you can't go wrong with the calamari. I will be back with my girls soon. read more

We went to Seaside Oyster Bar (SOB for short which I think is hilarious!) for lunch on a Wednesday and Brandon both seated us and was our server. He was fantastic...friendly and humorous. We sat out on the covered patio which this time of year was lovely! We ordered drinks (a Bloody Mary and a lemon drop martini) and an order of Bloody Cala-Mary (their calamari). The drinks were perfect (although my mother in law would have liked the Bloody Mary spicier, but that's on us as we forgot to tell Brandon to make it spicy!) and the calamari was delicious...crispy and tender at the same time. For main course my MIL ordered fish and chips and I got a hot lobster roll. The fish and chips were plentiful and had a nice crisp to them. Now let's talk about the lobster roll...it was the best one I've had since being in Boston a few years ago!! The roll was buttery and had a slight crunch and the lobster pieces were generous and very well seasoned. I ate every bite! I'm already craving another one two days later! Also, I need to shout out the pickles they serve on the side with the lobster roll...I could eat a vat of them!! I love the decor at this place too...just a cool seaside feel. The bar looked like a cool place to hang out as well. I will definitely be back! Thanks to Brandon for making the experience doubly nice! read more

We stopped by for the happy hours. And I am so glad we did. The bluepoint oysters were fantastically fresh and very crisp in flavor. Like having the fresh ocean taste in your mouth kinda good. The small plates were also really good to eat in between the oyster round. The fried green tomatoes were soooo good. We will definitely come back for their happy hours. Best happy hour deal in town for fresh oysters. read more

First time here, and I can definitely say if it's busy and packed, it must be a good spot. We came here on a Friday at a good time with no wait at all. Service was good, and she explained everything about the menu. We started with drinks and appetizers. I got a strawberry champagne mojito in a glass. Wasn't my favorite, but I let my husband finish it for me lol. They also offered the drink in a massive shell, which I haven't seen, but apparently they do. We got two appetizers, fried calamari and hush puppers. Both great starters, as it took 35 minutes for our seafood tower to come. (It states it on the menu) It was about $108 market price as of 10/22/23 for the whole tower, which was a good price. It came with snow crab, lobster, oysters, a smoked fish dip (best I've had), tuna tartare, blue crab claws, and shrimp all chilled on ice. All in all, if you're a seafood lover, this could be your next lunch/dinner/happy hour place to come to. The ambiance was really open, a little loud from the crowd and music, but definitely a good spot for get-togethers. Plenty of parking around the building. read more

I went with a large group of about 20 that all ordered different things. No one was disappointed with the taste of their meal. Very attentive wait staff that did their best to accommodate all of our requests. Every dish was delightfully presented. They really get the eyes feast first concept here. The raw oysters were a hit with one in our party who grew up gathering her own as a child. That speaks volumes for me. I ordered Seafood pasta with blackened red fish. I must admit I was a bit disappointed the red fish wasn't presented as a filet but more my fault than anything. Maybe the menu should describe the fish is cubed. I thought it was chicken when served. Maybe even a photo would have prepared me better. I was the last in the group served and the temperature of my pasta was "warm". The seasoning was such it made up for it being a bit spicy. I ate every morsel. Will I return? You bet! I look forward to coming with friends. Best part for me was the ladies room with clean! Beautiful decor throughout the restaurant, too. You can tell the owners thought about every aspect of dining. Bravo!! read more

The oysters were so tiny. In my many years of eating oysters, I've never seen such small oysters. Would expect to be given more than a dozen at that size. I did complain to the waitstaff. Also, I had the creme brulee for dessert. It was not creme rules which is a baked egg custard. Instead, I was served a pudding. The top was crusted but that an insult in my view. I didn't complain about that directly. I can see that you have no control over the size of the oysters but don't try to pull a fast one on the creme brulee. read more
