Memorial
Day Weekend 2013
This restaurant was recommended
by several ‘locals’ so we gave it a try… funny thing is … none of us could
remember its exact name so I kept calling it ‘Nasty Oyster’ or ‘Dirty Oyster’. LOL
Anyway … this restaurant is
located on Market Street and is an open air restaurant and pretty cool since
the weather was perfect! Décor was
typical beachy/seafood restaurant … we didn’t have to wait long at all but that’s
cause once again we ate a late lunch/early dinner since we had a great brunch
every day at our hotel (Embassy Suites on Meeting Street).
Anthony and I decided to finally
give the local beer “Palmetto” a try so we both got a glass of draft which came
in Pilsners so it was a little more than what a bottle would hold … it was
really good …hoppy … and apparently very strong because even drinking only one
with dinner … Anthony and I were both a little ‘tipsy’ … not sure if Anthony
would appreciate me calling him ‘tipsy’ LOL since its kinda a girly word BUT I
don’t know what else to call it … we weren’t drunk by no means … just feeling
the effects of the alcohol … AND after only one beer each!!! I’d definitely recommend trying this local
beer.

| Fried Gator Tail with Honey Dijon Sauce |
We ordered an appetizer of Fried Gator Tail served with a
honey-dijon sauce. The bite sized Gator
Tail was great but none of us were crazy about the sauce that was served with
it … it just didn’t go, ya know?
 |
| Shrimp and Grits with Cornbread |
I ordered Shrimp and Grits which was served with a slice of Cornbread. Here’s the description from the menu “Creamy
grits topped with fresh locally caught Shrimp, Sausage, Onion and Tasso Ham
Gravy” … I highly recommend it … it was absolutely delicious … the Cornbread
and the Shrimp and Grits … perfectly seasoned and had lots of shrimp in it and
decent sized ones too … yummmmmmmmmy.
The Cornbread was soft and moist … the way I like it! Lord its making my mouth water just thinking
of it!!!
Scott ordered a Grilled Chicken Sandwich (I know I know …
it’s a Seafood Restaurant what’s he doing ordering Chicken) … anyway … he said it
was really good … chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked.

| Fried Shrimp (and that's my son, Anthony, photojacking) |
Anthony ordered the Fried Shrimp with a side of French Fries … he let me taste one so I
know for a fact they were great! Good
sized shrimp and lots of ‘em … lightly breaded and not at all greasy. Fries were perfect too … just like I like ‘em
(though they were Anthony’s lol).
 |
| Shrimp Po' Boy with Hush Puppies |
Kay ordered a Shrimp Po’ Boy cause she’d be craving
one with a side of Hush Puppies … now I don’t know much about Po’ Boys, how
they are supposed to taste and exactly what is supposed to be on them (I
suppose they are just a sandwich made with some type seafood). Kay said it was good … she would order it
again. Oh and I tried the Hush Puppies
and they were good too!!
 |
| Oh look! Its a heart-shaped Tomato slice! |
Bottom line ~ We would
definitely return to this restaurant so yep … we recommend it!!! Oh and it’s the NOISY Oyster … Remember
that! LOL
