The Oyster House
What people are saying
If you ever visit Callaway Gardens Spa & Resort, you must go to the Oyster House while you're in the area! The restaurant is less than 10 minutes away from the resort, and while it's a relatively small place with modest decor, the food, cocktails, and service are fantastic! I have an oyster and shrimp platter with some catfish added to it and was extremely pleased with the taste and huge portion! Super fresh, hot, crispy oysters, shrimp, fish, and fries with creamy coleslaw, pickles, and onions on the side. Delicious!
What a shock to see the prices at this restaurant! I went with a friend who was in mood for oysters. Not being a shellfish lover, I looked for an alternative. I know restaurant prices have gone sky-high, but the cheapest dish, with the exception of side dishes, was mac and cheese for $10.99. Since the sides were $4.95, I decided to get a side Cesar salad. The size was about a handful as shown in the picture. Needless to say, this is not a place I'd try a second time. The ambiance is not seaside, seafood, but fast food, loud, cluttered, and not very clean.
First time here...had 2 waters, 1 sprite, hush puppies appetizer and crab with shrimp dip, chicken fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp bucket, fries, ribeye with rice pilaf and side of Mac and cheese....$130ish dollars. Place is very old, like a waffle house on the inside, was glad there was outdoor seating on a nice day! Server was very flat, not rude just couldn't care to be there. Anything we had with cheese, was so "over cheesed" if you will, like no depth of flavor but gobs of cheese and I luv cheese but this was a bit much. Fries were super salty. Hush puppies were good. Chicken was dry and overcooked on fettuccine which was like a bowl of cheese that turned into dripping oil. Ribeye was good for what could be eaten, expect some fat in this cut but almost half of it was fat. Shrimp bucket was good but the cocktail sauce had so much horseradish in it, literally burned my nose and face. This place is way overpriced for the quality of food. One and done is good for me.
Where do I begin? It was an excellent first-time there experience! The service was great, our waitress was super friendly. The portions are very generous, and the food tasted amazing. I can't wait to return. They even have outdoor dining available.
Oh my gosh! It was hubby's birthday and he wanted crab legs! Huge serving and he loved them. I had the rib eye, Delicious!!! Left with to go boxes. Dining room a little too smoky, but we persevered, well worth it.
