I've been a visitor for 30 years and have eaten at Boss just about every visit. Last two visits were unforgiveable. I'll never eat there again. Poor service and worse than average food. What's happened to this wonderful restaurant. more

Prior to tasting Apalachicola Bay oysters at Boss Oyster, Tomalas Bay Pacific oysters were my favorite.

Recently remodeled, Boss is a nice place to sip a beer and scarf some raw oysters while gazing over the shrimp boats in the bay. That said, it is quite pricey, the service is spotty and the fried stuff is about average. One item on the menu worth getting is the "End of the Road" sandwich. A more than ample... more

I am a Southerner and I know a seafood deal. This is no deal. The food quality was what I expect at any restaurant sitting on the bay but talk about over priced. This place beats all I have ever seen. For $36 (not including tip), we received 6 shrimp, 2 medium pieces of grouper, some generic curly fries, a... more

We stopped for lunch at Boss Oyster, a quaint waterside restaurant and scored an outdoor table right on the railing complete with ceiling fan. The dock was right there and the pelicans and sea gulls were entertaining the whole time. The restaurant specialized in oysters, any way you wanted them, but also had a complete menu to go along. We... more
