A bucket of oysters is the way to go! You get about 3 dozen good sized oysters and not a bad one in the bucket. :-) And don't forget the ice cold craft beer in a frosted mug! Oh, and they serve lots of great seafood items, so try it, you'll like it! 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

I personally don't eat shellfish but my husband loves it. And this is one of his favorite local spots for oysters. I do wish they had a larger selection for people who don't eat shellfish.. but all in all it's a fun place to grab a bite read more

Classic dive bar in Eustis with some dang good oysters! They usually have a great selection of local beers available too read more

The Troff - Oyster shucking - Seafood Near Me - Eustis, Florida

Stopped at The Oyster Troff while in the area. For a little hole in the wall restaurant it was actually very clean and nice inside! The menu was huge and had a lot of options for oyster lovers and non oyster lovers. I ordered a side salad, corn on the cob, and jalapeño high puppies- hush puppies were SO good. They have really cute beer flights that are priced very reasonably. They have quite a few unique beer options to satisfy any beer lover. Shout out to the employee shucking the oysters for the individuals in my party that ordered raw oysters! He event had an oyster tattoo, so you know he's gotta be good. read more

Yuck. Do not order the fish. It is the cheapest thinnest piece of fish they got farmed somewhere. Two of us who ordered the fish were confronted with an uncooked slice that had a jelly like texture. Even the hush puppies were raw in the middle despite being brown on the outside. Were the cooks in a rush? The onion rings were heavily battered and quite salty. If you drink a couple beers I imagine the fried foods are okay. The service was fair. We had to ask 3 times for utensils. No refills on drinks. No pleasantries like thanks for coming or have a good night. The order was taken and food served and that's that. Bleh. read more

Great food, when it finally came out. Seem like the waitress/bartender was having trouble with the kitchen. Ordered oysters Rockefeller that never came, also raw oysters that never came. We were there two hours and it was an hour and 15 minutes before any food arrived. Drinks were quick, really cute place. Just seemed like a big disconnect between the kitchen and the front of house. Very disappointing because the food did taste very well. Even the people next to us had trouble getting what they needed. Definitely don't think I'll be back, seems like they need to get their shit together and then maybe visit in the future if that ever happens. read more

Sounded like a good place based on previous reviews. We enjoyed a short trip from Clermont of about thirty minutes. We arrived early to avoid any crowding--we hoped. First the food. It was very good. The oyster chowder was some of the best I have ever had. For the main entree, I got the fried oysters. 12 of them with two sides was 12 bucks. I could not begin to eat it all. The food was piping hot and piled high. My wife got the Seafood platter. The other entree was for the coconut shrimp It was all good. We also splurged and got an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms were fresh. The stuffing was crab and it was a little dry I thought. They have a nice cocktail menu. We had the Rum Runner and the Cosmos. Prices ranged 8 to 10 dollars. Overall the food was good and the amount you get for the price you get it for makes it a bargain. The bad part? This place pretty much ignores Covid guidelines. No attention to social distancing. Masks worn below the chin as soon as the waitresses left the table. No hand sanitizer anyplace. No hand washing by the wait staff that I saw. Use paper towel to get in and out of the bathroom without touching anything. No place to discard the paper towel though. read more

Awesome food at a reasonable price. Got the seafood combo. Enough food for 2 people. Key lime pie also excellent. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere but very clean and friendly, prompt service. Will be back. read more

Don't turn around to leave! The ambiance may not be what you expect but everything was very good! We all enjoyed our meals. Soups good too? Service prompt and courteous. Would recommend you try. read more

Went to this place twice in the 6 days I was in the area. Nice little place with friendly locals and a laid back blue collar feel. All in all I'll def. be back. Price: Prices were very cheap compared to up here, and the food was good too. The second day we had 36 oysters (mix of steamed and raw), two servings of the jalapeno hushpuppies, a grouper sandwich & fries, a dozen wings and two pitchers of yeungling for $57! Granted some stuff was on special because of the game-time deals, but we were there earlier in the week without specials and it was still almost that cheap. Drinks: Full bar, though some of the bottles looked empty (example - Maker's Mark). Not a ton of draft beer to choose from either, but they had Yeungling on draft and it was nice and fresh. The game-time special is $6.00 Bud pitchers, but here's a KEY TIP. Yeungling is also only $6 during game time! Two weeks ago I was paying that for a GLASS in NYC. We also had Yeungling off-special a few days earlier, but I don't think it was more than 8-9 bucks then either. Food: The oysters were great. A little bit of a wait, but not bad at all. The oysters are from Texas and thereabouts. I haven't traveled as much as my sister, but she said they were a lot better than west coast and comparable to blue point oysters. (Gasp! Someone's opinion other than my own!! Someone alert Yelp ASAP!!) The hot wings were pretty good too. Next time I'll probably order one level hotter. (We had the middle one and they frankly weren't that spicy.) The jalapeno hush puppies were tasty, but very mild. But hey, 8-10 of them for $1.99? Deal. read more

My hubby and I came here last night for a late dinner. We were greeted by an older woman with a bubbly personality. I didn't get her name but she was very attentive and social. My husband ordered the all you can eat fish and by god she kept the orders coming. Before he could finish one basket another was being delivered to the table. I had the seafood platter and it was enjoyable. I love their jalapeño hush puppies. One bite of that and you get some heat and lots of flavor all at once. We are definitely looking forward to coming back here. read more

We anticipated a good experience. Boy were we disappointed. We started with raw oysters and they were terrific. The service from there went down hill. Sent back an entree twice and then had it deleted as it was never cooked through. The grilled entree was dry and over done. The coconut shrimp were a total disaster. I'm not sure how they have received the great reviews but this place is a train wreck. read more

Very clean and good atmosphere. We had an amazing dinner and drinks. The service was fast and very friendly. Their famous fresh oysters were shucked in front of us and served with hot horseradish. We will be coming back. A Diamond in the rust! read more

The Troff - Raw oysters - Seafood Near Me - Eustis, Florida

ok i've been holding off for a long time but enough is enough! last visit 8/17/18 Rude waitress questioned what i was warring, flighty thought she was funny but my husband told her a word or two and tried to flirt but he wasn't having that and she thought she was doing him a favor by over loading the drink with alcohol! Then her dizzy rear end double charged us by running the neighboring families bill on my husbands credit card when she did not even let us see the bill first! Her partner in crime was drinking shots First NoNo in Bar rescue omg.... it's like every other time we go there the food is crappy I think we need to find a new Oyster bar read more

Everything I look for in a Florida oyster bar - super affordable and loaded with good food and drink. The oysters were fresh and succulent and I tried them all! We will be back read more

Wow! Biggest tastiest oysters ever! Service is friendly and quick. A real feel of Florida food and hospitality!

Fresh oysters shucked right in front of you along with a rich menu of delicious food including a fried gator app and a hearty oyster chowder. Fast and friendly service and very reasonable prices make this place a sure winner. read more

I never thought I would eat an oyster in my life. Ewww slimy grossness! But Oyster Troff has made me a believer. While I would never dive into eating the raw versions, their savory variety of baked and roasted options leave me wanting more, more, MORE! Oysters Rockefeller, oysters with brown butter and parmesan, oysters with jowl bacon and parmesan (bacon to the rescue again!), all served juicy and hot. Ordered as a trio along with delicious onion rings as a side option made for a very filling dinner. I've been twice, left licking my lips and dreaming about my next return. read more

Very disappointed in this place. Shrimp that wasn't shrimp. Not really sure what exactly it was. Overall experience was not great.

I had the best fresh oysters I've ever had in FL here at this treasure in Eustis. I had passed it many times not noticing the place. Don't let it fool you, it's bigger inside and very clean. The horseradish was freshly grated and really added to the experience. Prices are very reasonable and wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about shipment freshness and region of oysters. I really enjoyed the experience. read more

This place has great vibes and excellent service. The oysters are fabulous with all the fixings. Great place for after a day on the boat. read more

Very casual place, good food, huge portions, prices were fair. Friendly waitress and great service.

Worst service I have ever experienced. Went in to check out this because I like oysters, sat at the end of the bar, waited about ten minutes watching a waitress shuck oysters for another customer, finally got a drink and became invisible, waitress walked by us at least a dozen times. I could go on but, you get what I'm talking about. The oysters looked delicious but I will never know because I will never give this place my business. read more

It's never open and their online posted hours of operation are wrong. This was my 3rd failed trip to eat here. I won't try again.

Tried this restaurant for the first time. Took almost 40 minutes to get food and it wasn't worth the wait. They promote fresh fish, the food we were served was not fresh, and not very good. Edible is the best I can say about it, it was really as poor as the service. It might be a good bar, but as a restaurant it is very sub par. read more

Stephanie was very rude. Her breath smelled of alcohol. She gave me an undercooked burger while her child played underneath the dirty bar floor. When I brought it to her attention that my burger was undercooked I was escorted off the property and then was sick all night. They refused to refund my check and I will not be returning. read more

We have only tried the Troff 2 times in the last week LOL. The food is fresh and prepaired to perfection. The raw oysters are a must. Some of the best we have had. They have killer cocktail sauce to go along with them. The service is prompt and freindly. The atmosphere is good for this type of resturant. Nice bar and plenty of tables. read more

I've been a regular with my husband for years but will never go back. The staff is rude, called my 67 year old mother a b!!!!ch in front of the owner and was not fired. All I was trying to communicate was we needed a table, not the bar because I have a 2 year old son. It's a shame this place has obvious issues with getting good staff. read more

Were craving oysters on the half shell and boy, they met our expectations greatly! Started with Bloody Marys which were very yummy and fried calamari that the breading on was soberly yummy, great, light and fried to perfection. On to the Oysters on the half shell. Chose the New Smyrna, great choice, large, juicy, sweet with just the right balance of saltiness! Ordered sides of hush puppies (good) and fried okra (also good). For all of those that have been considering The Oyster Troff for dining and going elsewhere; you just don't know what you are missing out on! My definite go to every time I'm in Lake County Florida! read more

Been going here a while but generally stick to a few menu items. The shrimp are good and a decent size, the fried fish (all u can eat on Fridays) plentiful, and the oysters fresh and shucked bar-side. The ahi app is pretty good, too. The service can vary, depending who's on, but they're always friendly. Their beers are ice cold and there's a full bar. There's TVs and tables and, during season, you have to wait for a seat anywhere at prime times. Other than that, the place is underwhelming but predictable. It's been there for quite a few years. There's parking adjacent and across the street, but the motel next door has started towing recently (dick move) read more

The bar might be acceptable but the restaurant food is awful! We ate there and I ordered the seafood platter. Everything was soaked in oil. Nothing had that crispy fried crunch you expect. We ordered fried pickles. Same thing. Soggy! The platter came with nickel size hush puppies while tiny were the only thing not soaked in grease. They have special menu items that if you aren't looking at the walls you wont know about. The waitress didn't point them out. Don't waste your money here unless you're desperate!!! read more

I've loved this place forever but the management needs to change the wait staff. The Spanish speaking dude shucking our oysters keeps bitching to us that the food we're eating is not good for your heart and how we should eat good. He then tells us he doesn't have time to eat good either because he works 104 hours a week?!? WTF? Who gives a shit? Shuck my oysters and SHUT TFU! The blonde bartender/waitress does not smile and is very short with the customers. I don't know his name but the guy with the ponytail is absolutely awesome! You would have received 5 stars but this was the worse experience I've had here in the last 24 years. read more

The Troff - Seafood Near Me - Eustis, Florida

Once a seedy bar with cheap beer on draught and the oysters are opened right in front of u at the bar. Once finished, u can take your oysters shells and push them behind the bar which is caught by a troff behind the bar. This place was such a dive bar that one patron was stabbed out in he parking lot. Now however, the under new ownership, the place has completely changed into a family-friendly atmosphere. Gone are the pool tables and now extra seating for more diners. The menu has expanded and gotten quite pricey. read more

First, and by far most important: There was a woman sitting at the oyster bar coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and a little red in the face. Clearly not 100% healthy. Makes you think "why would somebody go to an oyster bar, sick, in the time of COVID" Turns out IT WAS AN EMPLOYEE and her family. Possibly the owner as she was the person called on to solve some confusion at the register. And they were eating Chick-fil-a food openly spread out on the bar. Next, the food is quite tasty. Except the butter for the oysters is actually margarine. And scooped directly into the little plastic cup with the same unwashed fingers that handle everything else. Next, the service is completely incompetent. We ordered three things. Two people got most of their food in a timely manner. The third person sat nibbling saltines with an empty water glass during the time the other two finished their food. We had to ask for utensils. When we asked about an ETA for the third lunch, the server wandered off without ever answering. They folks that got to eat first ordered 2 dozen oysters, but the second never arrived. After a question or two they told us the steamer was down. At least they did take the second dozen off the bill. That and the excessively loud music during lunchtime makes us uninclined to go back any time soon. Chick Fil A is clearly a better option. read more

We were looking for a quick meal before heading back to the hotel so we stopped by the Troff. The food came out really fast and the hush puppies were the best I have had outside of Annapolis. I ordered the Yellow fin and was not disappointed, it was cooked perfectly and came with wasabi and soy sauce. I couldn't finish the sides green beans and salad because I ate all the hush puppies. read more
