Very nice restaurant. It's pricy compared to the other restaurants in town. But the oysters were very good. We only had a dozen of raw oysters and beer. The beers were cold. A dozen of raw oysters were $11 for a dozen. The place is very clean, a great view & friendly servers. You can either sit inside or outside.... More

Oysters, oysters, oysters! And the biggest seafood po-boy I've ever seen. Oysters(!), shrimp, scallops and grouper on a big loaf of french bread. Didn't order it this time, but DEFINITELY next time. "Calling Man VS. Food, are you there?" More

We ate at Boss Oyster for both lunch and dinner while visiting Apalachicola. The view is very nice-right on the ICW with some boating action to watch and the pelicans are fun to see! The service was prompt and friendly. We had oysters, shrimp and grits, soft shelled crab, and grouper and it was all good. Not great but good... More

We stopped i here because the oysters are supposed to be great. We had to try them. Oyster lovers should discount this review, however as, my wife and I don't care for oysters. I will added that the dish at Boss's did nothing to change our minds. More
