I’ve driven by this place a few times and finally decided to stop. After it was all said and done, I honestly regret not stopping by sooner. The fried shrimp, boneless buffalo nuggets, baked oysters were all great…absolutely no complaints about the main courses we had. However, they have this thing called Wampus Bread that I believe is supposed to be their take on hushpuppies, but they were not that good, and I’m a guy that will literally eat anything, except Wampus Bread now.
Our server Kadene was incredible! She was really nice, and being it was our first time there she was patient with us and answered all of our questions.
Now about the atmosphere! There are dollar bills all over the place…not a new concept, but cool to see! They also have a great spot out back to dine and feed the fish in the pond…great for little kids if you got some.
I thought the prices were reasonable. We (four of us) ordered three main dishes and sides which was enough for all of us and spent $140 including the tip.
I’d definitely come back to Dusty’s again upon returning to PCB, it a great place for family or just grabbing a drink and hanging out a while.

Top Rated Reviewer Great spot for seafood and suds! There was little to no wait in February. Servers were on point and pints were only a few bucks. We got the oyster sampler ($25) and they were cooked to perfection – the oysters were slightly poached and the toppings were melted to create a hot and cold contrast of deliciousness. Overall, a very chill vibe for a relaxed day at the beach. ️
❤️ if helpful, thanks!

Want seafood in PCB, go to Dusty’s. Have your pup, even better because they have outdoor seating with a water view. Our server Connor provided top shelf service and the food was delicious!

Great raw oysters, po boys, seafood by the pound. Friendly hard working wait staff, happy hour, good mix of locals and tourists. Cool back deck over a lake where you can feed the fish, turtles, and muscovy ducks.

For so long I’ve been told, go to Dusty’s, you’ll love it. Well, we went a few days ago and it was NOT good. I ordered the baked oysters sampler platter. When I’ve ordered them anywhere else, they always actually bake the oysters, but these were still raw with the toppings only melted on top. I cannot have raw oysters only cooked ones, due to a health issue, so I was highly disappointed. Not only were they not baked, the shell themselves still had mud on them, which meant they weren’t cleaned before being opened. The nachos were just okay. The onion rings were good. I know people love this place and good for them that do, but there are too many other great places here on PCB to eat than to go get mediocre food, especially oysters that were not cleaned or baked as ordered.

We’ve been to Dusty’s several times over the years. We stopped in for a late lunch/ quick bite. I appreciate that they let dogs on the back deck because we had our little Gypsy with us. We had buffalo shrimp and tuna dip. The tuna dip had great flavor and was super cold. They give you a pretty big scoop, more than most places at the beach. The shrimp were good and hot. Suggestions: making homemade ranch and better tortilla chips. Shout out to Connor, he was so sweet and a great waiter!

The decor is unique, and I was amazed when I walked in. The raw oysters are excellent, and the clam chowder is delicious; the other food items are just okay. It seems they try to keep things fresh, which may explain why some of the seasoning and batter aren’t as flavorful. Nevertheless, the staff and waitresses are friendly and accommodating.

Everything was FANTASTIC!!! We hit it at the right time, no wait for a table and they were packed!! The food was excellent. The service was great. Highly recommended for AMAZING raw or baked or fried oysters. All the seafood was FABULOUS and cooked to perfection!!! The raw oysters were some of the biggest and best tasting I’ve had in my 54 years of eating oysters as a native of PCB

We went there for the first time last week. The service overall was amazing! My boyfriend had a burger that he very much enjoyed, I had fried calamari appetizer which was delicious and then the scallops platter. The scallops were amazing, great flavor cooked perfectly! Presentation hands down looked amazing! Will be back for sure. Oh and bring doller bills to decorate lol so cool!
