Place is kinda of small, but for a place that's been at the beach for so long we liked it
Friendly welcoming bar with great steamed crab legs and shrimp The cheesy garlic toast with marinara was something to die for. Great place the the locals seem to know about!
Stopped in for lunch and happened to be the only customers. Was a little hesitant on the food based on appearance, seemed more like a night time hangout. Ordered seafood fest platter with some extra oysters rockefeller. The food was absolutely fantastic. Bar staff were super friendly. The weather was great and we were able to have it all outside. Would definitely recommend!
The prices were very high for low quality food and atmosphere. When I complained about the crab soup being aweful. I was told hey you're at the beach and that's how we make it. They did take it off the bill. But I CA t believe that response. $2?.00 FOR 12 SMALL RIVER OYSTER ROCK? I expect large quality oyster Rock for that price...
Friday night is half off wine night. BONUS! Service was just ok.
The food was awesome!
Food was fantastic, very friendly staff, had a hometown feel to it even though it was in the heart of the tourist area.
It's an amazingly good deal with lots of good seafood! We discovered it a few years ago and always go back!
The seafood was good... crab legs were a little over cooked but still good, other food was good,, just s little pricey to charge $5 for half a bun with cheese on it... the cheesy garlic bread app
Food was fresh, tasty, and well prepared. Enjoyed Shrimp Sub and Oysters Rockefeller. Will definitely comeback and try their clams and lobsters.
Good quality fresh food.
Wonderful, fresh, awesome seafood! Great servers and atmosphere!
The place was dirty looking and out dated but the food was surprisingly half decent
service spectacular; food outstanding; nice local atmosphere
fun place, noisy, great food. A little smoky smell.
Not a great atmosphere but the food was very good with the exception of the oyster Rockefeller they tasted as if they were sitting around and were reheated for us. The steamed shrimp & crab legs and raw oysters were very good while the crab dip was excellent. A lot of locals, waitress was excellent and good happy hour prices.
good food and service
The food here was good, but the service and personality of the workers had alot to be desired. When we walked in, the guy behind the bar looked at us without a greeting. I said that we would like a table for 2 and he told us it was not that kind of place. He said we can sit anywhere. We sat down and the guy behind the bar was also our waiter. He was very short amd not very personable. We were not very well attended to, but yet, he was flirting with the women behind us. I would not come here again eventhough the food was good.
This is kinda a local dive bar but, your food and drinks are always right on par. service is great.
Awesome raw bar food!
FOOD AWESOME...SERVICE STUNK!!!!
Staff was friendly. Very laid back atmosphere.
Great crab dip and oysters rock.
Best steamed and raw seafood at the beach! I have been a customer for over 23 years.
The steamed crab legs and shrimp were excellent we also had the oyster Rockefeller which were also excellent a great local place to eat.

They were happy to exchange part of the menu for something I liked.
The food was great, the only drawback is the bartender did not know how to make any of the cocktails that were on the menu however he did make me a regular margarita and it was delicious.
We came here new years night. It is a small hole in the wall place. the staffwas very friendly and the food was fresh and very good.
It is a small friendly locals place with good food

Very loud
It's a bit loud
Casual atmosphere and the waitstaff treated you like friends. The food was very good adn we would definitely continue to go back.
The food was very well prepared, large portions and great value. Great wait staff and the bartender even took the time to make sure everything was good.
Food was prepared nicely and despite being crowded, was done quickly. Bartender Keith was on-point! Hospitable, efficient and engaging.
Nice local bar. Loved the food. Nice people. I just don't go to bars.
We used to frequent this restaurant many years ago when we lived at the oceanfront and it was awesome, so I was thrilled to get a coupon for them. The night we went they were out of many things on the menu we wanted, we waited a long time for our food, and when it came out, part of the order was wrong (its not like they were that busy either). Our waitress disappeared after taking our order, and later we discovered that she was gone...not sure what that was all about, but the guys behind the bar finished serving us after she disappeared. I had raved to one of my friends about how good the place was, so was very disappointed and will probably never return.
Oyster Rockefeller were excellent and service was excellent also.
Andy was very personable and we enjoyed his service!
Although the restaurant is old and a little run down, it had the best cream of crab soup I have ever had. The waiter/bar tender/chef was outstanding and prepared a great selection of steamed seafood which was very good.
nice bar, great food and friendly servers
It's pretty small inside. There's two rooms one for smoking and one for eating but the smell of smoke is present as soon as you enter.
Man at bar did everything; took our order, made the food, served, and gave us a complimentary drink. The seafood was wonderful.
Great place for drinks and appetizers
Since it was a bar, it smelt like smoke, which we are not use to.
Fabulous! My friend & I were celebrating her 60th Birthday. We ordered the big seafood platter for 2 and it was ver, very good. A lot of food. We took some home. Would definately go here again.
very small and service to start was extremely poor. we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks and had to order dinner at the bar. After the meal came they seemed to care about us.
Steping back in time (70's) music was great tracks from 70- 80's and loud but not to loud! A local hang out that adds to the character of the place, freindly and good time!
Andy was fantastic! A large party came in that was a lot to handle. Andy made sure we were taken care of. Food was fantastic.
Oysters Rock rocked again! Cool staff
Service was excellent...food was fresh and very tasty...if we're in the area, we would definitely return!!
No better oysters rock on the VB Oceanfront! Awesome staff, good prices.
It was extremely hot and the fan above our table was broken
The food was the highlight of the experience. The place is a bar with food. it is dark and noisy. We got in and out before the live music started. Not a family place and no atmoshere, but the shrimp,crab, oysters, and lobster tail were all very good.
Got our order to go and they made sure we had everything we needed from the lemons, butter, cocktail sauce, hot food, fork to the the packets of wet hand towels. Delicious crab dip, oysters Rockefeller, 1 lb. of steamed shrimp and a half dozen fresh, sweet raw oysters. I have been going to Seaside Raw Bar for over 20 years and they are great!
restaurant.com shows this coupon could be used for take out or dine-in. however at restaurant was told dine in only. you should not have conflicting information as coupons were printed based on the take out option. however, server was polite and restaurant eventually honored the certificate
A little run down. Decor needs updated. The bathrooms were veru run down. But the service and food were very good.
Great cook and server!! Food was delicious!
Seaside has the best Clams Casino we've ever had and we're well traveled. We've been coming here since they opened and have lots of great memories. The bartender/waitress was very nice and attentive. I'm a beach surfin' bum since the 70's and this is defintely a locals place. A little cleaning and attention to decor can get it back to the ambiance it once had.
great shrimp special
This was probably the worst overall experience i have ever had at a resturant...
