    I love coming in town for the oysters cause everything about it is just better. The atmosphere is very chill since people just want to come in for lunch and relax. The staff is entertaining and nice. We had a good conversation about where the oysters are now coming from since the hurricane affected Appalachiacola; and he tried to hype my wife up to get two shells and make a pair of earrings. If you like oysters as much as I do, give this place a try if you're down for a drive
