Super sweet daytime bartender There were a couple older people who sat down at the bar after us who had a 4 year old child who kept taking super loud and demanding attention from people at the bar- kinda weird that a child sat at the bar anyway. Fish tacos were meh- tortillas 10/10- filling was chopped fish that was dry and not seasoned well. The spicy mussels were not seasoned well, mostly in a tobasco broth. The jalapeño hush puppies were good. Not impressed with the food or atmosphere so we wouldn't come again. read more

An oyster bar in the true sense. You come here for the food, not the atmosphere. Oysters are good, and reasonably priced. You have to get the oyster chowder -- the best I have ever had. The other menu items we had (frogs legs and snow crab) were very good; the frogs legs were some of meatiest I have had and the snow crab clusters were big and the meat sweet. I will be going back again. read more

We've lived in the area full-time since 2017 and drove past this restaurant countless times. We're not "oyster" people so never stopped in. What a mistake! Nice friendly neighborhood bar feel with great service and very good food. I had the Mexican Scampi which sounds and is eclectic but delicious! My wife had the daily special which was the seafood platter. It came heaping with fresh cooked shrimp and white fish and clam strips cooked to perfection. Both of us ate until gorged and took half home for tomorrow. The service staff were all friendly and we had someone asking if we were ok or needed anything about every 5-10 minutes. The food was served hot and fast. Not a single complaint. (If you're into oysters they shuck them right at the bar in front of you and the couple at the end of the bar seemed to enjoy them to no end) We'll be back often! read more

Myself and buddy went over here to try the food both of us hadnt been there in years so we said why not. Now for context were both colored men, we sat at the bar and patiently waited to be addressed by the server. After 20 min of waiting a group of older folks came in, about a party of 5. They were instantly handed menus and orders taken, we had yet to be even asked what we wanted to drink. Im not someone whos quick to say racism but as the only two colored people in the establishment we felt completely ignored and unwanted there. By all means give it a try if youd like but I have no intentions of spending money where im obviously no welcomed. We even made a few attempts to get the waitresses attention, she made eye contact with us multiple times, all to be just ignored as if we werent even there. Ill not be coming back, no plans on supporting an established that shows blatant discrimination. read more

We tried The Troff this evening and the steamed oysters were delicious! The four of us ordered at the same time. After enjoying appetizer, the three entrees came at the same time. About 5 minutes later the last entree arrived...incorrectly cooked. Okay I know mistakes happen. They assured me my entree would be a few more minutes. The rest of my party continued to enjoy their meals. My entree did not arrive until well after everyone was finished with their meals. When they finally brought my dinner out I told them I wasn't interested. When they brought the bill they removed my entree I hadn't eaten but didn't do anything else...I mean I think they should have comped at least a drink?!?! It's really too bad... not even an apology...not sure we'll return! read more

I love seafood and some times the oysters taste so fresh and other times they come out warm (never on ice) and they just have no taste. If you eat oysters here it's safest to have them steamed a little just to be sure they are a little cooked. I don't trust their fresh oysters. They really need to keep them on ice and super chilled. But their shrimp and apps are all really good! The jalapeño poppers and dips etc are really good. Lots of beer choices. Specialty drinks are hit or miss. All depends on who is pouring. No consistency with special drinks. I usually stick to just beer or a simple vodka and cran bc you will be disappointed with anything else especially for the price!!! Overall it's a very laid back atmosphere but warning.... the bathrooms suck. They totally need upgraded and cleaned. I feel like after washing my hands and leaving that I need to wash again. I usually have hand sanitizer with me. The place is just older and could really use a little overhaul and some love. But for the most part food is good. Just be careful with the raw oysters! read more

The food was good for a small bar/ restaurant. Its old Florida vibe was original and nostalgic. A good place for a cold beer and some seafood. read more

I have been coming here for many many years. The oysters are amazing, the staff have always been friendly. Occasionally, the service may be slow, you have to keep in mind when they're busy, that it takes time to shuck the oysters.. The atmosphere is quaint and a typical oyster bar, nothing fancy! Come here for the excellent oysters, cold beer and great service. read more

Greetings - The group got together and we went out to The Troff this evening as a party of six. The place is a cozy place (not really setup for larger parties like ours but we made the best and sat at the bar.) We had Andrew taking care of us and he did a great job! If you follow our reviews you will see that we review and "score" our restaurant visits based on the same criteria for each. Our scores are as follows: 23 / 30 atmosphere Loud - sat at bar : no tables available 25/ 30 service Andrew was excellent! - slow for food to come out. Not a place to go if you have time restrictions 27/30 food quality Clam strips overcooked Fried pickles (Dill pickles so they are a bit stronger than expected) 30/30 portion - no complaints on the serving sizes 29/30 value Seafood platter was on special making it a very good deal 6 out 6 would come back Overall 4.5 stars - GREAT place and would recommend visiting! read more

My husband and I love coming to The Troff when we are in town. He loves the oysters and I love the all-you-can-eat mahi fish fry on Fridays. We never skip the jalapeno hush puppies either. It's not at all fancy, but that's why we like it. read more

This is not located downtown so there is easy parking, even a lot next to it with designated motorcycle parking. It's fairly small inside with most of the seating at either bar. Full bar with multiple options on tap, but no ciders. Coke products. Three servers tended to us, which was great. I had the shrimp dinner. Boiled shrimp was ok, a bit flimsy but tasted good. Hush puppies were amazing. I didn't care for the red beans and rice. They were saucy and there was a smoked flavor. I didn't even finish them. They clean the tables with a bleach-cleanser, which is great that they are diligently cleaning, but the smell is overwhelming and to me, unappetizing. read more

Very busy place, but in a good way. Service was excellent and never felt "left alone". I ordered the all you could eat Mahi-mahi. The fish was so most I couldn't believe it was mahi-mahi. I never ordered more fish, the first helping was enough for me. The price was excellent! I would highly recommend this place. Only warning is: when we first got there it was packed and on the loud side. Don't let that deter you, you won't regret eating here. Bonus: if you like tee-shirts or tank tops, theirs looks really nice. read more

The Troff - Menu picture - Seafood Near Me - Eustis, Florida

The worst experience in the area. We walked in with 5 people (3 seniors with walkers), they said "sit anywhere" yet no table was set up for 5. When we tried to change the seating ourselves (since the while server stood by watching) we get a shout from across the room "we can't change seating)! Ok then do you want to help??? Needless to say, we walked out. read more

I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta and I treated my friend who ordered the $50 oysters. He also got the shrimp. His food came and he finished everything. The restaurant was now empty except for us and I'm still waiting on my pasta. He's ready to leave and they said they need to boil fresh pasta. Super awkward. When it came I said I had to take it to go cause it was way too late. It was good when I got home. Just would have been nice to eat out with my friend. read more

If you are looking for a fancy place with stylish ice platters full with a dozen raw oysters for enormous prices! Then this isn't the place for you. I don't know about you but I would rather have good seafood at fair prices served by friendly local family oriented folks. THIS IS THE PLACE! It's not just the food but the drinks and beer is top shelf as well. I highly recommend and keep local family businesses successful read more

So I have always loved Yelp because when you are in a new place it helps you find good food.....Yelp does it again. I won't say why were so far from home but know we need a good meal to lift our spirits. We happened upon the Oyster Troff through a little Yelp-stalking as I like to say. Got there two minutes after it opened already 6 people had already beat us in.... a good sign. It was oyster bucket special Saturday and those already there were taking advantage of the special. We ordered up a good mix of items not knowing how big the portions would be.....we took a bunch home. Oysters were cold and sweet and delicious. The gentlemen shucking them was the 2018 World Shucking Champion.....no kidding. He did it great. My son said the fish basket was the best he had ever had in his life. The side salad was large and fresh. The cheese sticks were the only thing that was average. The hush puppies were very good and a large portion. The atmosphere of sitting at a raw bar of olden days and having the interactive experience with others in the bar was great. Our server was flying around taking care of everyone. She did great. Another Yelp-stalk success story. read more

I've been here once with my father and it was great! Sadly the second experience was not very good. And it was a take out order. I've been sick and not eating much and my father mentioned he was going there with my uncle today. I asked him if he could bring me home a grilled chicken sandwich extra extra blackened and tomato, mayo on the side. I'm in bed, I just want something I can taste and comforting to eat. I wanted my side as red beans and rice as well. Well.... The sandwich was a dollar more than what was advertised on their personal website. The chicken was cold, barely blackened, they couldn't sub beans and rice instead of fries and I had to pay for that extra. Now I wasn't there but he sure was gone a long time. He said from the time he ordered till the time they brought it out, it took 45m for one grilled chicken sandwich. When he got home I saw that the chicken was cold when I opened the box so I had to heat it up. While I waited, I dove in for a bite of beans and rice. Completely ice cold. Like they just took it out of a walk in cooler. Ice cube cold. Not even room temp. I was really surprised to be getting such a bad order after going there once and loving it. I'm saving my receipt in case the owner decides to reach out to apologize. I'm local! I want to go back! I want to support locally owned businesses! It was just really disappointing and that's unfortunate for me. read more

Very casual local place. The oysters are cheap and tasty. Can't speak to the other food. It's a very local place which I like. It's simple, no frills good food. Basic beer choices, could be better but I went for oysters and they didn't dissapoint. I can't wait to go back again. read more

This place is everything that you could want in a central Florida bar: it's local, affordable, and loaded with good food and drink. I've been down in the area for several days, and this local gem was by far my favorite watering hole. We rocked some oyster shooters and scarfed down a dozen or so oysters. Omg! The oysters were fresh and succulent, pitting to shame all other pretenders to the oyster house throne. Seriously, I wish that I hadn't eaten before, because I think that I could have demolished three more dozen easily. The service and the locals were also fantastic, and I'm glad that we stopped by for s taste of authentic Florida. Would I stop by again? Hell, yes if they would have me.. hands down, this was my favorite bar in the central Florida area. read more

The best wings in Lake County! We came on a Wednesday night, I had awesome Buffalo wings, and my wife really liked their Barbecue wings. Friendly bartenders and great mixed drinks. We also had their traditional hush puppies, which were great as well. Actually, they were best I've had anywhere in the South! read more

The Troff has been bookmarked on my Yelp for over a year. Finally during one of my visits (I live in Minnesota) we made time! The OT was packed. It was a lot larger than I thought. They had the main Troff bar and then another bar with a troff. The backroom was also a seating area. The menu was extensive. They also had a ton of specials on neon boards. You don't get plates here. You eat your oysters on the counter/bar and toss them in the wooden troff. How cool! We ordered two deluxe combos of oysters. These were cooked and featured three different flavors. The Parmesan one was my favorite, these were grilled style. Next we had a bucket of raw oysters. The bucket was huge! The master shucker shucked all of them in front of us and set them on the bar. They offered different hot spices and fresh lemons. Lastly we had the seafood Mac n cheese. Heavy of the cheese and oh so good! I will be back her next year during my visit. What a cool experience and the service was great!! read more

We went to the Troff, for dinner and the stuffed mushrooms had very little stuffing, didn't taste any flavoring, very bland. My clam strips were over cooked, and the fish and shrimp were under cooked. The coleslaw had no flavor. My wife's coconut shrimp were burnt and way over cooked, she didn't even eat her meat. To say skip this place is an understatement. read more

The place looks questionable when you first see it but the food is fantastic and the service is great. The portion size is generous and more than you'd expect. read more
