Amazing oysters & shrimp. Super fresh, staff is awesome – you can tell they honestly love working there. Overall immaculate vibes. A place for everybody. Pie was FIRE! a little sweet, a little tart, just perfect. Weird hours but I personally appreciate that. They do what they want and either you patron them or you don’t – love a confident DGAF business. (def recommend you go during the few hours a week they are open – no regrets)

Everything was delightful ! Our server was friendly and helpful, the oysters and shrimp was fresh and meaty (so was the horseradish). Make sure to try the red rooster and Rockefeller oysters (creative and divine!) I ordered a key lime pie to go and they gave me a finished up can of whipped cream with it to keep my dessert fresh! My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves ❤️

Had a wonderful casual dinner with family here. We ordered the smash cheese burger that was wonderfully seasoned. We also got the shrimp and oysters, all delicious! The owner and the servers were very sweet as well. We will be coming back for sure!

If I could give them more stars, I would! We arrived a little after 5 on Friday and sat at the bar. We were greeted by the owner, Robert, who told us they had some good looking claims. He then went on to tell us about the oysters, shrimp, and everything else. He asked if it was our first time, it was, and he rang the bell and brought us complimentary crab dip. We ordered oysters on the half shell, steamed clams, peel and eat shrimp, crablegs, and cheesecake with a to die for strawberry sauce. Everything was beyond excellent. They steam the crab legs to order so they are not boiled nor sitting in water. My husband actually picked and ate the knuckles, which he never does with boiled. The owner, our server, the chef, the hostess, and everyone else that worked there talked to us and made us feel like family. This was our last night of vacation but this will be our first stop next year.

We were delighted by our recent trip to Tailgate Oyster bar. We wanted a no-frill raw bar and got so much more. The raw oysters were perfectly briny. We had gumbo and clam shows we and both were perfect. My husband had a burger as well and we split some crab legs. The crab legs were high quality and well prepared. Exactly what you want. We loved the shag music and ambience. We will be back every time we come to NMB and tell all our friends to check it out, too. They deserve to stay in business for a long time with food and service like we experienced.

This place is the best experience. The staff are welcoming and make you feel invited. You watch the oysters get shucked in front of you so you know they’re as fresh as can be. Their gumbo was fabulous, the Rockefellers knocked my socks off, and the homemade pies (key lime and lemon)

I enjoyed my first time at Tailgate Oyster. The food was delicious. I had steamed shrimp and my wife had steamed oysters. She loved her oysters meal and I loved the shrimp. I highly recommend Tailgate Oyster Bar. I gave it 5 stars. The deserts were excellent. Bruce J

Stopped in for our first time to have some oysters and an entree. Ordered a beer for my wife and I and ordered one dozen raw oysters. After ordering our second beer and seeing 3-4 people that came in after us get their food, I asked the young man serving us about our order. He walked to the pass through and returned, saying that he was going to get it “now.” Evidentially now means after serving two other customers (that came in after us) first. Consequently, we asked for our check and left. The other staff members seemed very friendly, though. I’m Dissapointed in general.
