Oyster city beers
Ellie T.

Shipwreck is my favorite restaurant in port st Joe. I planned an entire trip down just to revisit. They have the best oysters. In off season it's pretty quiet and easy to get a table, but go early or prepare to wait in the summer months. I like that you can get a variety of local beers, as well!

Hush puppies
April P.

Been coming to here for ages this was a must stop every time we are in town. The oyster sampler was a standout from the very first bite--each shell offered a refreshing taste of the sea, perfectly chilled and briny without being overpoweringly salty. The variety kept each oyster intriguing, and the natural texture was just right--plump and satisfying. We had the port st joe beach, four cheese and the cajun. Hush puppies was fried to a golden crisp, boasted a beautifully crunchy exterior encasing a tender, flavorful center. They struck a flawless balance--not overly greasy, but rich and comforting--pairing wonderfully with seafood. It was savory and heavy on the onions. The oysters shine for their freshness and thoughtful curation, while the hushpuppies deliver on classic Southern charm with expert frying technique. The gumbo was not my favorite tased a lot of msg and it wasn't warm or hot when I got it. Also the texture was way off it was like okra texture every bite. My friends enjoyed the crab dip and shrimp they said it tasted good and not rubbery. I do wish they bring back their smoked mahi-mahi dip. Service was A+++ great experience and London the waitress was amazing attentive and at the same time gives you time to enjoy your meal. The place can get loud specially if they are packed. There are outdoor seating but at times it's close if they don't have enough server.

Our own catch - Triple Tail blackened, grilled and fried

Party of 10 on a Friday night. Many other large parties weren't there when called and we were seated much sooner than our quoted time. We brought in our own catch and they did it up three ways for us. The charge for your own catch was $14.99 and they did a wonderful job. The restaurant is super loud and they speed you in and out. I read how people felt rushed, but that was ok with us. I would rate the food and service as 5 stars. The noise and rushed nature are a three. Probably a lot more chill at times other than 7:30 on a Friday in June. Will be back next time we are here!

Fried Seafood Platter
Tim D.

The food is so good that we ate four meals there over Labor Day weekend. The fried grouper and the fried shrimp are the best! Crab cakes were not the best (too much breading). And I wasn't happy with the crab bisque (thin, milky, too much nutmeg and not enough crab meat). BUT if you like your seafood fried, this is the place. Service was fantastic every day! Still not happy about the lady in the kitchen yelling everytime an order came up, it seems like technology could fix that.

Blackened Grouper with Crab Cake with Hush Puppies

We were recommended this establishment at another restaurant. We arrived at the parking lot was full, a great sign. We sat at the bar due to a wait of 45 minutes for a table. I had the Pina Colada to drink. It was pretty good. My wife had the shrimp & Grits for her entree and I had the blackened grouper with the crab cake on top with hushpuppies for a side. Both the entrees were a 9-9.5 out of ten. We shared a piece of Key Lime Pie for dessert, one of the best I've ever eaten. Our waitress Nicole was very arrive to our needs. The shipwrecks ambiance is right in line with being on the beach. The waitresses had on the bars tshirts with quirky saying on the back. The food was so good we are going back tonight to try some other entrees and another piece of Key Lime Pie!!!

We stayed in the area 4 nights and ate here 3 times, twice for dinner/happy hour and once for lunch. Incredible Apalachicola wild (HUGE) AND farmed (saltier and smaller) oysters with some of the best shuckers you'll find. We had great service sitting at the bar. Bee sting shrimp were delish, as was the bay scallop appetizer special. One night we splurged for dessert and the warm brownie with ice cream was to die for. 7-layer chocolate cake also great. They serve breakfast too, which we didn't try but I'm sure it's awesome. Kinda the only game in town but they're crushing it. Yum!! Don't miss the sunset across the street.

Crab legs, blackened shrimp, sweet potato

We arrived at 4:15pm because we've heard how crazy the waits can be and honestly would not recommend. We felt so rushed being one of the first to be seated and get ordered and back out the door- I do not feel it was worth that much prep- I would go later in the evening or hit up their breakfast lunch time slot if you're looking to try it out-

We ate dinner there and loved it. We stayed near by at a local hotel, so we went back for breakfast. That was amazing too.

Wanted to drive to Mexico Beach from Panama City Beach just to find a quieter beach for a few hours…read more(PCB is Spring Break madness y'all!) Checked Yelp for a good lunch spot suggestion and this was it! I don't do food trucks often (I really should!) And when I pulled in I realized I made a great decision. A line of about 10 people in front of me. It moved quickly. Big menu of things like fish tacos, shrimp po'boys, and fish platters, etc. yummy sides or coleslaw and hush puppies. I was excited. Put in my order, turned around and there's like 20 people behind me. Again, It's like a smooth running machine. I stood near a lady from Georgia who said she saw this place on TikTok. My food came in maybe 15 min. I took it to my car and pulled into a beach view spot across the road. Dinner with a view! I got the tuna tacos with hush puppies and the grilled shrimp po'boy. I'll say, I didn't care for the cheese on the tacos. I think it really needs a pico or salsa of some sort. I ended up just eating the tuna pieces and dipping them in the sauce that I think was meant for the hush puppies. Maybe it was sauce for the tacos. Wasn't sure. On to the sandwich. Really good bread. Tons of shrimp. I wanted a bit more sauce though. I got coleslaw with it. I wasn't given a fork. I guess there was a place to get that. But I did order food To Go. Thought a fork would be added. Based on its popularity, and my food being pretty tasty, I say go get ya some!

For it being a food truck I was surprised that Killer Seafood has some of the best seafood I have…read morehad in the area. Before the hurricane they had a dine in restaurant which I hope they get back one day. They do have an outdoor seating area which is covered, but the heat and wind here can be brutal. I have dropped by for lunch a couple of times and my last visit I got the shrimp po-boy which was amazing. I try something different each time, so next time I look forward to trying the gator bites and maybe a fish sandwich.

Indian Pass Raw Bar offers a wonderfully unique dining experience!…read more Although oysters are their specialty, I don't really do oysters, so I chose two seafood dishes that still reflected the region. The seafood gumbo was thick, hearty and filled with shrimp, okra and rice. The rice was hidden underneath, and once I discovered it and stirred everything together, the gumbo tasted great. The stuffed shrimp were excellent, and the generous stuffing on top was outstanding. They arrived in plenty of melted butter with a thick slice of what appeared to be Texas toast. They were definitely the highlight of my meal. The ordering system is unusual but works well. Everyone at the table marks their selections on one paper sheet, and the plates come out individually as they are ready. Bottled sodas, bags of chips and similar items are self-serve and tracked through the restaurant's honor system. It may appear somewhat chaotic at first, but it's part of the experience. We waited approximately 15 minutes for a table. The place was packed, and it was only Tuesday! The service was fine, the prices were reasonable, and two people in our group said their crab legs were excellent. The outdoor stage honors former owner James T. McNeill III, known as Jimmie Mac, who loved music and dreamed of creating a place where people could gather. That history gives the restaurant even more character. Indian Pass Raw Bar is casual, distinctive and unlike any conventional restaurant. I'm glad we experienced it and highly recommend giving it a try.

It's a road side raw bar. It's a locals favorite. Check which oysters are served before ordering…read moreraw; I do not recommend Louisiana oysters as they're large, but not as tasty as Apalachicola. It's messy and casual. The servers are friendly and the beers are served with an honesty policy (track how many drinks you enjoy honestly). I absolutely love their stuffed shrimp! This was my granddad's favorite place in the area and I agree. It's a must try!
