The only reason I gave one star is cause I can’t give no stars. This place is horrible. My son had his birthday dinner here and it took over 2 hours! There were 8 of us we sat on the patio, we got our drinks but no straws my daughter ordered a salad which got there in an hour. My burger was over done, my son’s girlfriend’s burger was raw(she had to get it to go, cause it never came back out) my son ended up with regular fries(not done BTW) he orderer sweet potato fries. My son’s girlfriend had to go get us some silverware. Then they did give us10% off our meals but turned around and charged us 15% gratuity, which we flat out refused to pay. I will NEVER eat here again!!!

Poor service. Had to go get our own silverware and asked 3 different people for straws waited over an hour for appetizers and hour and a half for food. They forgot about us all together and kept apologizing but didn’t wanna do anything to fix the problem! Won’t be back unless they can get it together.

The food is good here, but don’t go to the bar. Waited 20 minutes after waitress got me a drink, but didn’t check in to take my food order. I just got up and left because service was so bad. That is way too long to wait for a server to check if you want to order anything. If you are willing to wait forever for service, the oysters are yummy.

Service was mediocre, they had a few things on the menu that weren’t available at the time of the ordering. We paid a premium for two filet mignon dinners and were served on two dirty plates and one of them had a noticeable chip in it. The Mac and cheese was bland and mush. The mashed potatoes were so hard I couldn’t mash some of the potato chunks even with a for. Would not recommend.

All good! No complaints. In town for work and sat at the bar. Bartenders were great, very attentive, but not over bearing at all. Had great convo with other guys at bar none of which I knew walking in. No big complaints on the food. Didn’t blow me away but good. Had brisket and pulled chicken w/House sweet ga. sauce(I think), baked beans, sweet potato(avg). Pulled chicken was better. No dessert. All around good experience. Will definitely visit again.

I’m never disappointed when I come here. Went on the 26th around 6. We were seated immediately. We try to go before 7 to avoid the crowd. Service was prompt. Steaks were great and cooked the way all three of us had asked for. The shrimp with grits was good but it had a bite to it. Wait staff refilled our drinks in plenty of time. I’ll be back.

Pretty good food. The Shanghai Grouper was tasty, but the sticky rice could have been more flavorful and, shall I say… sticky. The shrimp and grits was also good but swimming in too much sauce to be considered perfect. A solid meal with a lot to appreciate, and minor adjustments to food prep can certainly elevate this establishment to five stars.

I came here with my partner, food was good. The oysters were better here than at blackbeards! One server seemed like she was tired of working there, but okay. good so far!

Kitchen Sink Oysters are amazing. Service was great as was the filet and spinach! So glad we stumbled upon this place!

While the food was delicious, our group had grilled shrimp, brisket, the smothered chicken breast, and a hamburger, the service was lacking. Our table had two groups – two checks. At the end of the meal, the checks were incorrect. It took 45 minutes to get the correct checks. We sat and waited. No apology from the manager – nothing. Our bill even got mixed up with the table next to us. Even the delicious food isn’t enough to make me go back.

If they have a party out side don’t eat here you will wait at least 20 min for your drink order to be taken. It took us for ever to get our food when we told our waiter it seemed like it was really slow she said sorry we all have to help with the party. Why 5 employees sit at a table and count there tips. They didn’t get one from me.

Long kitchen time and inconsistent heat in gluten a on plate. Server was not very attentive and offered to reheat our rice instead of bringing fresh and asked my wife to scrape the rice into a dish to do so. Food has good flavor but temperature and service was not up to par. Would try again however.

What a great place!!! I’m in town on business and wish we had found this place earlier in the week… We would have eaten here every night. Staff was very friendly, service was great.

Great Oysters! Love the freshness and flavor combinations. I ordered oysters KITCHENSINK bacon, jalapeño, onion, garlic, shrimp, spinach, herbs, cheeses. I normally eat at least two dozen oysters when I go to oyster bars but I could barely finish half of these it was so filing! The $ 3 Austins Sweet tea wasn’t bad either! Amazing atmosphere with great food! You should definitely check this place out.

I called to make a reservation and they only take them for groups of 8 or more. Last couple of times I walked in there there was a wait time of more than 45 minutes. I wanted to get a reservation for 2 because it is my wife’s birthday and didn’t want to have to sit around. I am not very happy with this place anymore. I used to go to Austin’s all the time when they were located in the Piggly Wiggly shopping center and I’ve been to this location a couple of times. Austin is a very nice guy, but this place has kind of gotten out of hand. It’s not worth sitting around an hour to try and get some food that I could honestly get somewhere else.

Ate their w/the family on Valentine’s. Wasn’t what I expected. A bit pricey. I wasn’t too impressed with the steaks and the sides selection.

Great visit and meal had the oysters(kitchen sink) ribeye and the grouper bites. Everything was excellent, service was great and prompt, customer service outstanding. Will be bringing the work crew here! Seriously the grouper bites with the spicy remoulade. Fantastic Looking forward to desert.

My girlfriend and I ate there last night. She had the salmon which was tasty, but largely overpriced. The waiter, as he picked her food up from the window, uses unclean hand to grab a lemon wage and put it on top of the fish. I had pulled pork barbecue. Their«seasoned fries» tasted like generic Or Ida fries, and they were served cold. Drinks, as always, are very much overpriced so that they can make more profit. The waiter was adequate. The manager was indifferent. The restaurant did not appear to be overly clean. I was surprised that they had as much business as they did. I will not go back.

I had dinner here while in Albany, GA for work. The restaurant is fairly large with a decent covered patio for dining as well. I ate at the bar which had four or five bar tables and about 8 chairs at the bar. There is one small flat screen TV in the center of the bar as well. As for drinks, beer selection was not deep but did contain some local favorites such as Redds Apple Ale and Sweetwater 420 and IPA. The menu is fairly large and consists mainly of seafood and BBQ. They also have an oyster bar which offers raw on the half shell or done specially such as Greek or Buffalo-style to name a few. I ordered a cup of the Brunswick stew which had a lot of flavor. My main course was blackened salmon with sides of fire-grilled veggies and Mac and cheese. Overall, the service was quick and attentive, food was decent. I would recommend this place if in town.
