The oysters had probably just been shucked as they were flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the side of seafood chowder too. The service-not so much. It was a late lunch and there were few diners, but my husband had to get up from the table...to search for the server so we could order. She left us twiddling our thumbs far too long after giving us our menus.More

One of the worse dining experiences we've ever had. All of the starters and entrees had no flavor and not properly heated plus the server was bad as they come. We should have known better as every other restaurant in the area was busy except...for here. Obviously there's no repeat business and we won't be back either. Waste of $100 for sure!!!More

I’m not sure where the 4 and 5 star reviews are from; maybe the staff? Or, people who really don’t know good seafood. First (and last) visit to Toomers with family and friends was a bad experience. The blackened Mahi Mahi was way over cooked;...completely dried out. The collards had zero flavor and were nothing but stems and dried meat. The grits were made edible only by the sprinkling of cheese over the top. Our son’s fried shrimp tasted like ammonia. Not to mention it took ~ 40 minutes for the food to be served and none of us got our food at the same time. Truly a poor experience overallMore

Stopped in for quick lunch on a Tuesday while touring Old Town Bluffton. Not many guests so we were seated right away. Grilled shrimp po’boy was good as was the shrimp Reuben. The fried okra was fresh and excellent as well as the collard greens....Nice friendly place.More

Slightly disappointing. I will start by saying the wait staff was very good and service was prompt. Also she crab soup was very good and a nice serving (had the bowl). Could not decide what I wanted so had the captain plate with shrimp, scallops...and oysters. Had 6 small shrimp, 3 smallish scallops and a pile of the smallest fried oysters I ever seen. Everything tasted okay, could have used some additional flavor and I had it blackened. Sides of greens which were okay and a dish a rice with tomatoes. And I mean a dish of rice with 2 small wedges of stewed tomatoes on top, not what I was expecting for sure. Might try again but probably not.More

Good food, so-so ambience, but who goes to eat for the ambience? You a have a large bucket of steamed oysters which looked great. My wife and I opted for steamed clams, an entree with blackened scallops and fried oysters, and another with fried calamari...and oysters. All were very good and cane with two sides. The bill was moderate for all that food. We would go there again.More

The food here is very good. It's restaurant week, so there were specials offered for this week only. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The problem came with the kitchen. Each of our appetizers came out about 10 minutes apart. The she-crab soup, then...10 minutes later the raw oysters, then came shrimp cocktail after another 8 minutes, then clams after another 10 minutes. 4 of us were dining and we each got an appetizer. We thought that was very odd. Then two of the main courses came out immediately following the last two appetizers, followed by a 3rd 5 minutes later, and the 4th 8 minutes later. The last meal was supposed to come with shrimp, but after several attempts to get it, we gave up. Nothing huge to complain about, but the kitchen should probably get their act together. Overall I would still recommend this place. Below is a picture of what cluster oysters look like after you've opened them.More

We went there today for lunch. We’re few customers. I should have known better. I will start with the good: the waitress Danielle was awesome. The she crab soup was finger licking good. End of story. I ordered the fried oysters thinking that they have...an oyster company. The oysters were small in size like you would get it you ordered clams. All I could taste was breading. The rice and tomato side is tasteless rice with a cooked tomato on top. I wish our server would have warmed me. I don’t mind paying for a good meal but this was pricey without the quality to go with it.More

Made a reservation expecting blue crabs. Notified that morning they were not available. Raw and fried oysters were good, she crab soup bland. The fried cobia was good, not greasy. Good sweet potato fries, regular fries just ok. Nothing special

The service here was extremely poor. We left after waiting 50 minutes for our food. Turns out the server did not put in the order until 25 minutes after we ordered out food. The other server had food coming out to other tables for people...that had sat down well after our arrival. Tired of waiting, we left, went to Captain Woodys. Great service at Captain Woodys.More

Food was expensive, not hot, was not in sync with my husband's. And when I did get mine, the fries arrived after I had finished my entree and slaw. Seafood was not fresh but must have come from food supply company. My husband is a...great cook and he was so disappointed in his $38 meal!More

What a joke.. gumbo horrible.. oysters on half shell practically inedible, served with a cocktail sauce like you would get at a fast food joint.. shrimp cocktail also bad.. small in size and quantity.. embarrassing for a Bluffton restaurant..
