I went in there for the first time the other day for lunch. It was great. HUGE sweet tea, great service and atmosphere, and Cold Air Conditioning. The best part for me was the burger. I got the Bacon Blue Burger and it was awesome. Cooked just right and with sauteed red onions with dijonaise mustard. My side was grilled corn on the cob. I know they have some serious beer specials going on over there with I am unable to offer any info on, but if you head over there, I'm sure you'll have a grand time.

Kurt, feel free to merge this if needed.

I think it is a neat place and a cool location but i have eaten there twice and found the food inedible - fries, fried shrimp, gumbo, a few other things tried. The oysters were mediocre. Some people say they like the fish tacos but they are just average.

I really wanted it to be good. the bar looks like a fun place to hang out but I won't go if the food isn't good.

Great variety of oyster dishes and cool outdoor deck, so I'll definitely be back, but absolutely horrible service!

Perhaps they were short handed or the kitchen got backed up. Perhaps someone was having a bad day.

It's all a matter of perception. I was never one for absolutes. ;-)

The staff at Hurricane Oyster Bar are all wonderful, hardworking people who (I believe) do their best to serve us guests in their wonderful home away from home.

The service is occasionally spotty, but I think the food has always been pretty good. Maybe I have yet to find the right place, but I think Hurricane's has the best fish taco going in SOWAL.

There's perception and then there is service that is so bad it is a source of entertainment!

I hope it was an off night - as I said earlier, I'll be back 'cuz I love me some oysters!

We are visiting from ATL and went to Hurricanes for the first time yesterday. The service was great, and the food even better. The manager even came out to offer us several alternatives when they ran out of scallops for the St Jack oysters - then threw in a few extra for the inconvience. Atmosphere was good - though I would stay off the deck if you are sensitive to the mosquitos 😀

The combination of food, cost and atmosphere is unbeatable on 30A - we will be back.

I had a great time there the other night. A dozen oysters + Guinness on draft + swapping jokes with the waiters = a recipe for a pretty good night out.
