Worst MANAGEMENT services EVER

by TAMMARTIN

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME THER IT WAS THE WORST TIME I EVER SPENT THERE. THE SERVICES WAS REALLY BAD. OUR WAITERS HAD LEFT SHE DID NOT COME AND TELL US SHE WAS LEAVING AND WHO WAS GOING TO BE TAKING CAREOF US. WE HAD TO AS THE BUS BOY WHO WAS OUR WAITERS AND THE OTHER GIRL TOOK AWHILE BY COMMING BECAUSE SHE HAD OTHER TABLES. SONE OF THE FOOD WAS GOOD. THE FISH AND SHRIMP WAS GOOD THE FRIED OYSTER WAS HALF WAY COOKED, THE HUSHPUPPIES WAS FRIED HARD. THE TARTARA SAUSE WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL JUST THE TRIED TO SAVE MONEY AND MAKE THERE OWN BUT ITS NOT WORKING. I WOULD NOT GO BACK!!!

the worst management in the country

by kgbmoose

We had dinner there and the food was is ok. My son ordered a fish plate and, he took a few bites and then decided that there were too many bones so we ordered him a steak. We offered to pay but the waitress said that she would swap out the fish for the steak. When we got ready to leave the nasty manager came out to our table and in a nasty attitude yelled “ We Have a problem he ate some of that fish you have to pay for all of it” . The poor waitress apologized for the nasty manage and her behavior we let her know it was not her fault . We will never be back to that place again that was the most un professional manage I have ever had to deal with.

Really great tasting seafood

by torq

I've eaten tons of seafood in my lifetime, especially on the Georgia coast. Walking into this restaurant was just like walking into a coastal eatery. It looked, smelled, and tasted completely authentic. We had good service from a very friendly woman and the food was excellent. My in-laws have been there dozens of times, and they were right: The seafood is some of the best in the city. Not an exaggeration!

Not So Hot

by Marine64

Went ther again after staying away for several years due to poor food and loosey service. Friends said it had changed so we went. Arrived at 6:00pm and were promply seated. Wait staff was nice and friendly. but lets get to the food and wine. I ordered clam chowder. It came out of a can. Full of potatos but few claims. Tasted bland. Ordered the special oysters (6) 5 were the size of a quarted and only one large one. The oysters wern't attached to thew shell which leads me to believe that they came out of a can. Tasted OK. Their wine is waaaay over priced at $8.00 per glass. Should be $4.50-$5.00 tops. Decor needs a lot of help. No color what so ever. Looks like your eating in a law office. My friends ordered the shrimp and scallops both said food was OK but bland. To heavy on the breading. The three orders ( all the same) were brought to the table 5 minutes apart. Seems the kitchen still is having problems. I my oipinion if you want good seafood, nice decor and friendly servers and managers go to Marlin & Rays just up the street or even Marietta Seafood

I have been going to the Oyster Cafe/King since I was born. I love all of their food and I have never had any sort of problem with it or the staff. I would recommend it to ANYONE and I always have. BEST SEAFOOD ANYWHERE! and I have traveled to a lot of different destinations and never once have I found better.
