One of my dishes was five star and one was one star so I averaged the two. The peel and eat shrimp are superb!! Five stars!! The grilled mahi was as poor as any I’ve had. It was literally two fingers wide and not much longer and cooked way too much! They hid it under the bread to serve it and when I moved the bread I literally couldn’t believe they would send that plate out. We also had raw oysters and they were fine. We spent over $100 with two people just on food so I expected somewhat better as far as the entree. If you go, though, order the peel and eat shrimp!!

My husband ordered the grilled shrimp skewers. The lady who took our order let him know he could also get them blackened which he loves so he chose that. He has eaten a lot of shrimp at a lot of places and from the first bite he was just blown away by how good the shrimp were and was in shrimp heaven lol. He said it’s pretty much the best blackened shrimp he’s ever had ❤️
I had the crab stuffed shrimp and they were fine but I can’t say I thought they were great. Had a lot of butter on them so they were too greasy for my liking.
Went back tonight and he got the blackened shrimp again and I got the peel and eat shrimp which were good.
Service was quick and friendly both visits.
I’d have preferred not to have self service drinks from the cooler as the only option for beverages. Even a soda fountain self serve would be a step up

The front of house manager is an absolute gem. She interacted with our 3 year old as if he was family. We ate here twice during our time in PSJ, not only because the food was outstanding, but because the staff made every visit feel special. The oysters were magnificent. The shrimp and steak skewers were perfect. Thank you for making our stay a that much more special.

Love a place that’s a solid meal with tasty, fresh dishes but not pretentious and in a casual and welcoming environment. All the staff were friendly and efficient; food was quick and delicious. We had side salads, oysters, grilled fish, shrimp skewers, and an assortment of sides. Impressive selection of hot sauces on the tables!! 🙂

Portions were large, prices were not. Great selection of self-serve canned beverages (wines, beers, sides, seltzers, juices, waters). Was my 2nd time in PSJ but first in Uptown… can’t wait to visit you all again on my next trip down… the chalkboard of specials definitely caught my eye.

We had an amazing time coming here. It originally wasn’t even where we intended to go, but, boy we are glad we did. Our server, Heather, was super friendly. She did an amazing job. Very prompt and informative. The oysters were delicious! As was everything else we ordered. We will definitely be coming back here in the future.

Hostess seating us was super nice and welcoming. Our server was outstanding! The real standout of our meal was the baked oysters. Very very good! Husband’s grouper dinner was just okay. The corn on cob was just prefrozen. The side house salad was fresh and just the right size. The gumbo was a huge disappointment. Supposedly, gumbo was shrimp and okra. But it had been cooked so long, the shrimp and okra were nonexistent. Very thick too and tasteless. Not what I’m accustomed too as the gold standard for gumbo is Pappadeaux in Houston ❤️. Our server was kind enough to to remove from bill but it was my fault as I didn’t ask enough questions about the consistency. So as an afterthought, I ordered the appetizer grilled shrimp skewer. The shrimp was grilled perfectly. We’d return just have the oysters again.

We visited Uptown Raw Bar on Saturday night, when we arrived it wasn’t very busy, we were sat and waited about 5-10 before we were waited on. The self-service beverage was ok, they did offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks. We choose tea with cane sugar and nice surprise. We placed our order and then the placed filled up, the 2 servers were definitely overwhelmed with every table filled within 10 minutes. We received our salads ceaser and a house. Plenty of dressing. Salads were fresh!
Then we received our entrees crab stuffed shrimp and Mahi blacked with potatoes and corn. Potatoes were plain tasting but hot, Mahi was ok felt like it was missing something.
The Crab stuff shrimp was definitely the star of the show. Highly recommend the shrimp. Overall a nice dinning experience.
I know there specialties are the oysters, but neither one of us like oysters.

Our first time here left with mixed feelings. The concept and the venue are both great. Love the location in the “downtown” area of Port St Joe. The hostess who greeted and seated us was unenthusiastic and almost seemed bothered to show us to our table. She asked if we’d been there before, then handed us menus and briefly mumbled some details about the drink self-service. (Didn’t offer any info about pricing…which isn’t evident anywhere, and didn’t explain where to find the cups for the self-serve beer taps) Our server finally arrived and also had few words, took our order and was never seen again. Another server brought our raw oyster appetizer, then later our meals.

Oysters were great, and actually probably the highlight. The meals were tasty but average, at best. Portion sizes were small (my wife had a fish sandwich and the fish didn’t even cover the bun). One of my sides was “steamed broccoli” but is was an unappealing olive color and was very soggy.

In summary, would probably still return but only for the raw bar and beers.

Family of 5 sat quickly for Monday night dinner. Parking was ample. The space inside is rather small but the location in downtown PSJ is nice if you want to walk off dinner afterwards. Pricing is steep but with the sautéed claws and dozen baked on board that was to be expected. Those may have been the best of the dinner we had. Kids had the chicken basket, grilled cheese and grouper sandwich. Portions were fine for them as well as on the Mahi sandwich for me. We must admit, the seafood must’ve come out of the Gulf that day! Drinks are self-serve from a cooler each? Maybe because of the small footprint of the business? Our server Morgan was attentive and we never had to track her down for anything. The 3% convenience fee tacked on for credit card use, I personally hate, just don’t take that form of payment. We’d go back to try the other fresh seafood offerings.

The most disappointing and overpriced meal of our week-long trip. We came in hungry at dinner time and left not completely full. We were each served a skimpy portion of fish, reheated corn and potato sides which tasted “off”, a missing side of broccoli, and no utensils. I got up from our table (twice) and wandered over to the bar – where I waited and waited for missing items while my food got cold. The vibe was very strange about basic service. The only saving grace was our starter – a dozen roasted oysters. Save your dollars for a better experience elsewhere!
