Rebekah was a terrific server and gave excellent recommendations! We had the scallops, crusted flounder, hush puppies, oysters and salted caramel ice cream. Everything was outstanding in freshness and flavor! Can't wait to return!
From the drinks to the entrée, everything was delicious. A fun spot, we will definitely be coming back.
Awesome! Would definitely go here again and Highly recommend it to anyone.
It had a really great atmosphere. The food was cooked perfectly and the waitress was very nice.
Service and food were great. Noisy venue but part of the vibe.
First time and definitely won't be my last.. Great food , cocktails and bar staff !
Great dinner for my birthday! The grilled octopus to start; scallops for her and crusted flounder for me; a couple of Reislings…you get the gist. And excellent service by Christian and the entire crew. An all-around great night out!
This was the best oyster bar and seafood experience I've ever had. My new favorite restaurant in Atlanta.
Our first experience with this Ford Fry restaurant was very memorable. In my book, it is hard to beat his King & Duke, but this wonderful seafood experience will definitely be repeated. The oysters, raw, baked, and fried, were like a compilation of the finest beach dining memories.
