Excellent oysters but nothing else. Salmon was very undercooked as was the baked potato. It's a typical, plastic-chair-and-linoleum-floor seafood shack, except that it's nowhere near water which eliminates that appeal. Go to Calico Jack's for a similar atmosphere with better food and service. more

We went because the place has been in business a long time and the parking lot is usually full. Why are people going there? The entry area was dirty and smelled bad. My menu was so crusty and greasy I had to hold it by the edge. We waited a long time for our food (fried oysters) but it was... more

I have lived in Tallahassee for 20 Years and Barnacle Bills has been there the whole time, so even though I can't remember the last time I have been there I expected a long lived restaurant to be very decent. I was wrong, obviously the only reason they have stayed in business is because of the students whom only care... more

Average seafood and rather pricey. Not terrible, but there's better ways to spend $20 on your meal. more

When I travel, I consider myself successful if I'm able to find that hole-in-the-wall place that has great local food. Barnacle Bill's fit the bill for me. Now some may argue with the hole-in-wall status that I've given it, but I think it's important to set expectations properly if I'm giving you a review. The decor is dated, the tables... more

I found Barnacle Bill's to be a very interesting establishment! With a fishy & nautical decor: it's in an old warehouse, where the lighting is just plain bad annoying fluorescent lights. The food was amazingly well prepared, fresh and plentiful, and also relatively inexpensive for what you get: I've eaten far worse at many a 5 star restaurant, and the... more

Years ago we loved getting steamed oysters at Barnacle Bills. No more! Feeling nostalgic, we went there for my birthday. All the seafood was overcooked and rubbery. Notified the managment. Didn't even respond. Never will go back again. more
