By far the BEST oysters we’ve ever had in our lives! The most perfect looking oysters you could ever receive! So fresh and loved the homemade hot sauce it came with. I’ve been craving oysters ever since but know nothing will compare. They came from NC but unfortunately can’t remember the name.

Also got the whipped feta and my husband is usually not a fan and he said that was the best he’s ever had! He’s a plain Jane kinda guy and loved it! The honey with the almonds, chef kiss!

Great price for well made old fashions during their happy hour.

Server was great and welcoming and the establishment is dog friendly on patio and treated our girl amazingly!

Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

The Citizen is an amazing culinary experience. So good, it is the only place we visited twice when we were in the area. Andrea was amazing at the bar and was very knowledgeable of the food and drink and we enjoyed interacting with her when we were sitting at the bar. I wish I would have taken more pictures, but the oysters I had there were the best I had during the entire visit to the area.

We had our welcome dinner for our wedding at The Citizen and it exceeded our expectations by a million! We worked directly with Courtney via email since we live in Chicago and couldn’t plan in person. She was so kind, accommodating and patient. She helped us customize a menu for our party and event created a custom decorated menu for the night of the dinner. She is the absolute best! Our waiter was Jay him and the rest of the wait staff were excellent. Jay was very nice, funny and attentive. We never had to “look” for him, he was always there and happy to serve us. The food was phenomenal – I didn’t get pictures of everything but I will share the ones I got. The seafood tower and appetizers were a hit! Our guest said they had the best oysters they have ever had! I could have eaten just the apps and been happy! The main entrees were so delicious, warm and just as everyone ordered them. The desert was also our do this world. The Atlantic Beach Pie was to die for! We can’t thank everyone at the Citizen enough for the smiles, laughs, service, amazing food and vibes! We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic experience all around – if you’re at the bar, ask Andrea for top recommendations. Chef Todd in the kitchen creates fantastic plates – any bite I had was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

By for the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life and I’m from the Gulf Coast!

Murder Point farm raised oysters are amazing! Check out their oyster happy hour.

Don’t spend money on the fish dip, unless you’re from a square state without saltwater.

So I went back a month and half later for the awesome oyster happy hour and ordered the Citizen Double Stack. Great burger!

Also the whipped feta appetizer were great too!

We did wait an hour before being seated. We decided to order a bottle of wine and enjoy the outdoor space while we waited. So keep in mind, there will most likely be a wait. But u will b happy u waited. The waiter was great. He had a personality. We ordered lots of food. Everything was delicious and fresh and portions were appropriate. We shared. We never felt rushed. It was an amazing evening .

The Citizen in Alys Beach offers a unique blend of coastal cuisine with a chic, upscale atmosphere. The restaurant features a mix of modern and retro elements, including a marble bar and vintage decor. The menu is diverse, with seasonal changes, and includes popular dishes like oysters, whipped feta, and charred avocado salad. They accommodate dietary restrictions well, offering gluten-free and vegan options. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is both romantic and trendy. Reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups. Overall, it’s a great spot for both casual and special occasions.

First time here. Very impressed with the interior design. Relaxed, spacious, and the ambient noise level was good. Got terrific service the entire time.

Started out with the “Warm Angel Biscuit”. So good, that we could have just ordered several more of those and skip the meal.

For the meal, we ordered Avocado Toast, Short Rib Hash, Charred Avocado Salad. The Avocado entrees were very good. The Short Rib Hash was a bit disappointing. The potatoes were over cooked , to the point of almost being mashed.

We would come back again, but skip the Short Rib Hash for something else.

Hands down the best oysters I’ve ever had. They were incredibly fresh and shucked right in front of us, which made the experience even better. The mignonette flavors were spot on and were bright, balanced, and a perfect match for the oysters. There was a great variety to choose from, and the happy hour pricing made it an unbeatable deal. We walked in on a Friday afternoon with no wait. Absolute gem!
