Dusty's Oyster Bar & Eatery

I think everyone was tired when I arrived. It was ok service at the bar, however it was change of shift so maybe just bad timing. This isn’t your typical bar restaurant you would see at the neighboring pier park. It’s unique with dollar bills hanging and stapled everywhere. The crab legs I ordered were over done, lacking the snap but they tasted ok. The Parmesan baked oysters were really good with a gigantic dozen portion. It was just a couple bucks more than the half dozen

This is a really intersting place with $1 bills covering the entire ceiling and all the walls. We went during off season, in Nov, so we got served pretty fast. Our waitress was really great too. The salt and pepper in thr baby corona bottles were too cute so i incuded a picture of them too! We had fried pickles, scallops, grouper, and a cordon blue sandwich. All were great. We aren't experts with seafood vs value/price, but we felt the size of the scallops and the amount were a really great value compared to other places we've been. My husband has declared this to be his official scallop place.

Christian sucks!!! The worst bartender since the guy who wouldn't refill Jesus's Holy Grail! I'm mean the guy had a grueling day ahead of him and he can't get more wine?! WTH? I'll probably will go back tomorrow but I'm an idiot. Good luck! This place and Christian are great. Really fresh oysters and extremely cold beer.

Frequent customer over many years through owner n management changes. The last time seemed the worst. Finally tried again, not bad, but jot near the same. Shrimp were food but very salty. The ham overcooked n used to spinach being fine, not chunks on the Rockefeller oysters. And the oysters were tiny tiny. Update Sep 30, 2023. Went back to try once again. Old habits are hard to break, lol. Didn't do oysters or shrimp this time. We got sandwiches. My club was great, fries kinda old. Friend got the Philly and then got another batch of fresh French fries. It had a good flavor. The Dusty burger was not like the older days, but it was ok. Draft beer was... well, I ordered ice for mine. Waitress was very nice but seemed rushed.

We had to visit this place twice on our mini vacation because the food was absolutely delicious! Try the Jalapeño baked oysters, fried green tomatoes and the Crab legs, you will not regret it! 😋 The food is definitely worth the wait...(there will be a line but it moves along quickly) so do not leave! Give them your name, buy a drink and hang out until they come find you and lead you to the table.

A popular spot in PCB so if you want to wait as little as possible you'll need to come right when they open. If not you could be waiting 1-2 hours like we did. We were prepared for a wait so it wasn't an issue and visiting the dollar story next door is fun. The oysters are GREAT and as someone who typically favors smaller oysters from the north east these were bigger and delicious. We also ordered some food that wasn't fried such as the gumbo which was also good. If in the area it's a must!
