This is down south country food. If you don't like that, you might not like this. We liked it. I would give it 3.5 stars but can't so I've given it and "average" 3 star rating. I would have gone up just a little but not to the 4 star rating which is "very good." It isn't going to win... more

If you don't like real southern food (fried okra, catfish, etc.) this may not to be to your taste, but if you love down home cooking, this place is great. The prices are very reasonable. The owner is the former chef of Plantation Inn and knows his way around the kitchen VERY well. more

Down home southern Florida Cracker cooking! Atmosphere is ok as it's on the side of a busy Highway. LOVE the Coconut Shrimp and the Fried Chicken. Nobody makes fried chicken as well as William Bunch! Great place if you're not watching calories. more

Wife and I went to Oysters for our anniversary dinner. Just before ordering our dessert, wife excused herself for the ladies room - in her absence, waitress presented our check and asked that we leave promptly - needed the table for more "guests". Regardless of protests, waitress remained relentless - we left in disgust - no tip - never to... more

My wife and I had dinner here on 1/29/2007 and this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. The only good thing I can say for the restaurant is that the 1/2 doz. oysters on the half shell my wife had were good. The place is a real greasy spoon and when you... more

I have eaten at Oysters many times and the food has always been excellent. I really recommend the grouper sandwich (when available the gouper is from local fisherman) and the fried chicken. Friday evening there is a fish fry special. If you like spicey try a bowl of gumbo. Mr. Bunch, the owner, always comes by the table and personally... more
