Yowza! I thought I'd had oysters before. Not like at Deal's. Passing through Perry after paddling north Florida rivers, I stopped for dinner at Deals' because despite it unprepossessing exterior, there were cars parked everywhere all around it. Stepped inside - like a big diner. Sat at the counter behind which two guys were shucking oysters. Dude slaps an oyster down and asks me what I want. Oyster is huge, fat and sooo sweet. Nothing like the puny, ones that I now know get shipped North to Wisconsin! Give me half a dozen. He put eight in front of me. I said, 'Man, you gave me too many, I wanted a half dozen." He replied, "No, that's right, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight - a half dozen." OK, dude, I'm with you, anything you say. I ordered a fried oyster dinner (almost ordered the mullet dinner because you hardly see any mullet on menus, but I love oysters, so oysters it had to be). Wonderful oysters, came with cheese grits that were actually cheesy(!) and hush puppies. Dude said you got to have this with the hush puppies - and laid down a bottle of guava jam, YES! I'd almost drive all the way back down there from Wisconsin this weekend just to go to Deal's. If you are anywhere near Perry, ever, GO. Truthful Jack, signing out.

Fresh seafood, but not much options in delivery. Pretty much bland fried seafood. Nice folks though! Overpriced.

Everyone at the table ate something different. Typical southern seafood restaurant. The atmosphere was genuine but could be cleaner.

This one is worth stopping for. A bit out of the way but great food, kind people and true southern atmosphere.
