The service was fast, even though the place was packed everytime we went there. I love seafood and in my opinion they have great seafood, both fried and broiled. We were in Gulf Shores for over a month and ate at the Oyster House at least 3 times a week, that should tell you how much we enjoyed eathing there.... more

My family & I always make it a point to eat at OOH at least once during our annual trip here. We just ate lunch here today - we decided that we may want to go twice this week, so made sure we went today, our first day. My son-in-law and I anxiously look forward to their salad bar...we tried... more

My husband and I met waiting tables and have owned two since then. We enjoy fine dining, but feel that the whole experience can be ruined by poor or even average service. We were extremely fortunate to get BB. He didn't write down a thing, often a sign of a superior server, and gave recommendations based on the food not... more

We have been to The Original Oyster hgouse several times over the last few years. The last couple have been a disapointment. I really want to enjoy this restaurant. We love the atmosphere and the view, and the kids enjoy it too. I always get the fried platted while my wife tries a baked dish and for the second straight... more

We travel to Gulf Shores about once per year and this has become a must place to eat. On our recent visit we arrived at 7:00 on a Sunday and were told the wait was 1 hour. Typical, but worth it. We were seated in 48 minutes. I ordered the Mahi on the Bayou. It is blacked Mahi covered with... more

We've been to Fort Morgan for vacation 4 times over several years. We have eaten at the Original Oyster House at least once every trip. The first few times we loved it. The food was good, the service pleasant and it was a great place to take kids. Last year when we went the food was not as plentiful or... more

This place is worth the wait in line! There is also shopping close by while you're waiting on your table. We ate here our last night on the coast. Their crab cakes are to die for! They also have good non-seafood choices for kids. The salad bar with the meal was also very nice. My entire family had a wonderful... more

husband got the fried shrimp plate and it was just average tasting. I got shrimp, fish and some little fried claw things. Didn't like the claw things but the shrimp was ok and the fish was ok too. We added the salad bar which was very good, many things to choose from. I could have had a salad and been... more

I have to say, I was kind of shocked at some of the bad reviews of the Oyster House on here. I'm going to chalk it up to just a bad day at the restaurant. We were at Gulf Shores last week and had two fabulous meals at there. The red snapper was cooked perfectly and the cheese grits are... more
