Super oysters both raw, baked, fried! The fried grouper throats were also raved about. Top off with fried okra and delicious sweet tea. Established 1930.
LOVED IT. This is an old-school Florida oyster bar and they are cash only, be aware of this. I loved the counter service and the baked oysters were excellent. Priced fairly as well. Recommended!
Our first visit to Gene's after the transfer of ownership. The same welcoming atmosphere, with great food and friendly service that we have always enjoyed. So happy to know we haven't lost Gene's.
Gene's is one of those places that you pull up to & just know it's going to be good. This place did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Everything we tried was fabulous. Did not catch our servers name but very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly.
Loved it! Best oysters & hot sauce. Good conversation with Jeffrey. Thank you all!
We visited Gene's a while back, around 11/2019, when my son took a class in Panama City. Without a doubt the best oyster bar I have ever been to. The people were very helpful and friendly. Along with oysters, I had Grouper Throat, that was absolutely great.
Very fresh oysters at reasonable prices. Both raw and oyster stew and baked oysters are excellent. Service was fast and attentive.
Genes oyster bar is definitely one of many local known old school oyster bars for having high quality oysters and seafood. Remember cash or check only. No debt cards! This is an original 1940’s oyster bar and is not a modern day restaurant. Gene’s oyster bar has a small seafood menu with excellent choices. Seating and parking can be limited during peak hours. The atmosphere is an original oyster bar from the 1940’s oyster bar established by Hiram Conrad.
WOW! What a little gem. Had lunch here and practically ordered everything. Oysters, gumbo,
sautéed crab claws. The gumbo is homemade and chocked full of shrimp, andouille and okra. Yummy. The crab claws are served in a mix of Parmesan cheese, butter and garlic. 😋 It’s small and family owned for over 50 years. Go by and see miss Ann and enjoy and delicious meal!! Great customer service.
This place is Amazing! Oysters were so juicy and salty no other place we ate oysters at can even compare. We had their mini platter that all the stuff you want, fish, shrimp, oysters and a side, we had okra. Staff was super special, very nice.
It literally an Oyster bar, as that’s the only seating unless you sit outside, which is cool too!
