One rainy sunday afternoon, my family took a detour and decided to try eating at Boss, a seedy little place on the Apalachicola river in Florida. Boss has a reputation of having some of the best oysters in America, so we couldn't really pass this opportunity up. It was raining heavily, but we still decided to take the outdoor seating... more

Ignored for so long, we got up and left. Don't bother unless you have a party of 4 or more, or plan on drinking so the waiter feels better that the bill will be worth his\her time. more

Based on the reviews on this site I chose Boss Oyster for our party. Being a native Floridian and a seafood lover some reviews led me to believe this place had potential...not so much. Party of four adults and toddler. Tuesday evening after Labor Day around 6:45 pm, rather slow... Noticing the nice view of the riverfront and that it... more

Were it not for my experience at Boss Oyster I would have thought it was impossible to get a bad fish meal in the Apalachicola area. However, my mixed grill of grouper and bay scallops at Boss Oyster was truly bad. The grouper was very fishy tasting and the scallops were tasteless. On the other hand, those of my party... more

I'm craving oysters just thinking about this place. It is exactly the kind of joint you find in beach towns everywhere except way better food! Service is fine but definitely casual in attitude.

They have a pretty arrogant attitude - we were offered coffee by the waitress only to be told the owner wouldn't allow it as it was 9.00pm. Also this is an expensive place for the decor more

Boss Oyster is exactly the type of place where you would expect to find good seafood in a small coastal town, and for my fourth visit there during a trip through Apalachicola I was not disappointed. I have eaten oysters from Maine to Galveston, including Washington State and Oregon oysters, but Apalachicola Bay oysters remain my favorite. Cold and fresh... more

Boss Oysters is, by far, the best place we have found to eat in Florida thus far. We vacationed in Mexico Beach, Florida just a couple weeks ago. We went to several restaurants while we were there, hoping to find great, fresh seafood. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by many of the places we found. Boss Oyster Restaurant was EXACTLY what... more

This place is a giant step back in time. I was many years younger the last time I was in Appalachicola, back in 1960, when my father took me here fishing. On a recent visit to that area, my wife and I ate at the Boss Oyster. This place reminded me so much of what it was like here way... more
