    Excellent service by our waiter, Tyler! Food was fantastic .. from the appetizers (raw oysters & jumbo shrimp cocktail), main dishes (chilean sea bass & blackened grouper), to dessert (shared a brownie sundae). I thoroughly enjoyed the dirty martini with blue-cheese stuffed olives 🍸 as well. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Calabash, NC.

    Couldn’t wait for my adult children and their partners to visit to take them to dinner at Oyster Rock! As expected, everything was perfect from their ability to move our 6 person reservation inside last minute on a cold night to the service (Travis) and the food! Everything was cooked to perfection and the specials were just delicious! It’s not easy to provide consistently great food and service but Oyster Rock has the winning recipe that makes it a really great dining experience.
