Owl Cafe

Went looking for a place where my vegan wife could enjoy a good meal not just a salad. They offer an outstanding vegan jambalaya. I had mine fully loaded with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Don’t skip the crab dip!

Update: Thanksgiving meal was absolutely delicious! Great food and service! I am happy to say that under new ownership the Owl Cafe is just as delightful as it has always been. Delicious food and wonderful service. Some nice updates have been made to the restaurant. The flight of steps leading up to the hostess desk has been redone and is much safer. New flooring gives a fresh look. The dinner menu is pretty much the same as it has been. Note, that we also went to the Owl Taproom for appetizers and drinks. It was also very good.

This establishment is absolutely breath taking the finish on the inside and interior design is stunning. The service from Maura our waitress come to find out she is the bar manager, was superb she was the friendliest server we have had since being on our anniversary trip here. The food was also very good and perfectly made and presentation was also very nice. We will be back for sure time and time again while on vacation here. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My husband and I are out on an adventure for Thanksgiving. Our destination for this year is Apalachicola, FL. Before we ventured out, we planned on celebrating Thanksgiving at the Owl Cafe. In all honesty, my expectations were average before we stepped foot inside this establishment. We figured it may be good but not like homemade... We arrive at the restaurant and it's in a perfect little location, about 5 minutes from our hotel. The restaurant is on the second floor but there is an elevator for the disabled. As soon as we arrived, we were promptly greeted with smiles and sat down at a perfect table for 2. We ordered a lemonade, sweet tea, the turkey dinner, the shrimp dinner, pecan pie tartlet, and chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Everything was FANTASTIC! My husband's shrimp was perfectly cooked and he received A LOT of them! All of the portions were VERY generous. The sweet potato souffle was really good! It had bits of pecan and they left off those sickly sweet marshmallows (thank goodness). In addition, the lemonade and sweet tea were so good without being overly sweet. The turkey was moist with a flavorful gravy on the side. The absolute "icing on the cake" was the pecan pie tartlet. I normally DO NOT like pecan pie but oh my god, this tartlet was scrumptious! It was sweet enough, with a dollop of creamy ice cream. The pecans tasted fresh and the crust was thin, crunchy, and buttery! The service overall was prompt, efficient, and VERY friendly. We even had the manager (we are assuming) come over and ask us about our meal. He even inquired about the squash souffle - which was unique but tasty! I just want to say thank you for being open on this holiday, and taking time from your families, to ensure we, as travelers, have something to eat. You're amazing and keep up the good work!!

Impeccable food and service; spotless facility with minimal wait time. This restaurant has character and ambiance. I'd recommend the fried oysters and blackened fish.
