Never had anything I didn’t like here. Personal favs include the Seafood Nachos and Seafood Broil, and don’t miss out on the crab legs! The portions are shareable, and the atmosphere is homey. They do have a bar as well with beer and mixed drinks. The calamari leaves a little wanting with the tiny, thin pieces and more peppers than calamari, but everything else is top. Great place for a date or to take your family.

Absolutely delicious Oysters, NC Clam Chowder & the House Gumbo. Our server Dawson was polite and very knowledgeable of the menu. We’ll be back!

The food was good, simple fare. We were pleased that they offered steamed platters, in addition to the typical fried seafood. The Bloody Mary was one of the best I’ve ever had. The service, unfortunately, was abysmal. We had reservations and were seated promptly. After that, everything went downhill. We waited at the table for about 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged that we were there. A young lady asked if we had been helped and when we said, no, said that she would get someone to help us. We waited another 10-15 minutes before an insolent young man came to the table to take our order. He obviously did not want to be there and acted as if taking our order was an imposition. Once served, he never checked back on our table. Because of this, he had no idea when we were finished. We watched 3 tables, who came in after us and were served after us, receive their bill, pay and leave. Finally, after waiting for quite some time, he condescended to bring us our bill. Because of the food, we will give this restaurant another try. However, the other couple who visited with us, said they will not.

Dawson took amazing care of us at Tidewater Oyster Bar! The tuna taco was an amazing first course and the blackened shrimp and fried oysters were delicious!

This is our go-to restaurant every Tuesday! Best oysters in town. They always have 3-4 different types to choose from and the staff is very knowledgeable about the different oysters. They also have the best shrimp creole and gumbo around! We love dining here! Wonderful service!

Our meal was absolutely delicious. I love seafood and this place did not disappoint. Everything was prepared beautifully and the service was great. Our server Caden was nice and very knowledgeable about the menu items and how they are prepared. I hate ordering and ending up with a server that doesn’t know anything or has never tried the food.

My husband and I ate there last night for his birthday (March 28). They were so busy but they did a great job for being understaffed. Very attentive and worked as a team. Casey was our waiter and Michelle helped out as well. Emily, Chris and Robert were amazing in the back getting the food out. I hope I did not leave anyone out. (We try to make sure to get names as all need to get recognized). We ordered the oysters Rockefeller and snow crab steam platter. It was awesome! We will see you again. Thank you for making his birthday dinner amazing as I would have burnt everything. Much love!

Charming little restaurant. Gotta know it’s there. The food was very good. All the seafood was very fresh. And they featured Cajun and creole food – which is unusual around here.
