The Oyster Pub — Restaurant in Daytona Beach

I used to come here two or three times a month. $$$ Table service has always been notoriously slow, compared to the bar. If you want anything to happen soon, you have to go up to the bar yourself. That hasn't changed, and they still apologize for the wait. I quit going over a year ago when they brought me cold crab legs and clams, and then what? You're gonna put them in butter. Yuck, and they reheated them, and it's overdone. No discount. Sorry again. Last straw. I hadn't been so long I thought I would give them a try again. Then I got a big old gray and black hair in one of my raw oysters. The waitress asked me how it was. And I said it was going good up until I pulled this nasty hair out of my mouth. 😟😝🤢 She said, "Oh, sorry, and the manager comes back. Introduces herself and says to me, yeah, this happens. It's a common thing to have hair in your oysters". I looked her right in the eye, and I said, would you say that again and with a straight face. Eye to eye she said, it's normal to have hair in your oysters. 😏 I wonder how much she gets paid to tell people such things. I'm 59 years old. I've been eating oysters since the 80s. And no, not once have I got a hair in one, raw, steamed, fried, or Rockefeller. They have all been hairless thank you, up to now. Didn't realize what I was missing until I went back to the Oyster Pub. And let's face it, they should know oysters. 🤭 Again not 1 dime off the bill. And even lower class than that. They trick you when they say. Would you like some old Bay on your seafood. Well, of course, you would. Why not, they don't tell you. It's a dollar extra up charge. You find out when you get the bill, they've snuck it in. Next thing it's gonna be extra for salt pepper and ketchup. Bring your own napkins. I'm not going back until I see a sign saying under new management. They better hope they can get lots of tourists in there because the locals...

Remember the gut feeling ya had when City Hall called your home beyond the “limits”, meaning you got sent to the Little League (soccer, baseball, basketball whatevs) team across town, far away from your known pals? The players all wary of ‘that new kid’, nobody accepted you, nobody stepped to you… until…

Similar sentiments can be had while busting alone through Daytona Beach. And thusly, yer socials done at The Oyster Pub is your key play! A terrific dine & drink where the vibe is cool, the attractive barkeeps hip & happening, and the delish nosh is so fine at a low, low price! Seriously, yo! This is the place to bring yourself, a beach date, or the whole family after that sunny beach afternoon! ☀️🏝️

Enter stage-left bartenders Sir Joe & Lady DiAngela — they know the sweet rap, they set your soul at ease, and they know serve, serve, serve. For the cost of unenjoyable beachfront common-fare, you can fest a nice, fresh blackened Mahi-Mahi sandwich with fries and all the fixings. Even better??? They gots Dijon mustard for your crisp fries! Like, not since my Paris 🇫🇷 days have I seen such fab condiments in a restaurant! Quel chouette d’affaire!!! — [DiAngela 🇵🇭 states plainly it’s for the baseball-season ‘hot dogs’ served up. But really, the style here is to your smooth fancy, an understated upscale. So sublime humility sans expectations will come naturally!👍]

Though myself a thinker at some level, I’m nevertheless a beach-bro 😎 at heart. — Luv ❤️ Florida more than life itself! And placed inevitably on ‘this team across town’? — Ha! Put me in, Coach! This is my key play, today! 💪 ⚾️

Street parking close & easy, spacious & clean inside, good atmosphere for all ages & any attitudes

🏖️ Peace out,...

This place used to be really great about a year ago. The last 3 times I've been here, the service, the drinks, and the food have been awful. The waitresses don't listen at all to what any patron is wanting for food and drink and in tip of that, they don't offer to refill drinks. When you do ask for something, they make it very clear that you are bothering them. They also have no moral or ethics to guide their behavior. I saw my waitress drop a glass and beer on the ground and instead of replacing the glassware and such, she just picked everything up, and brushed off the debris from the ground and proceeded to serve it to the table.

My husband clarified about how their sweet tea was prepared and ordered based on her response. It didn't taste like sweet tea at all. My friend who ordered a margarita was very unhappy with the taste and lack of alcohol in the drink.

The ribs and the wings used to be really good, but now they are dry and don't taste like much. The BLT isn't good and neither is the chicken sandwich.

The only good thing to eat are the oysters, to be honest.

It's disappointing because if you asked me a year ago about all of these factors, I would have given 5 stars without any complaints.

I'm sad to say, we will not be returning to this establishment any...
