   Wonderful food, service, and cocktails. I highly recommend all of their appetizers and pasta dishes. Don’t forget to split a dessert!

   This was one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever been to. Is it in Amarillo? Wow. The snapper cakes were divine, and the gumbo was elegant, understated, yet bold. The shrimp was soft and buttery, while the roux was fantastic. The shrimp and grits were the best I have ever had; they put Commander's Palance to shame. The shrimp were plump yet buttery and tender and absorbed the flavor of the roux. I am in shock and awe.

   Very cool restaurant! We love the NOLA feel. The food was some of the best I have had. The shrimp and grits remind me of the plate I had in New Orleans. The drinks and dessert were amazing, also.

   The host staff was absolutely delightful and very helpful and we were able to go to our table very quickly. Jessie L had already brought water and taken our drink and appetizer order by 7:15 and that was our reservation time!! We were only a couple minutes early so he was prompt, had a great disposition and an infectious smile. He was a very pleasant person and awesome mix of attentive but not overly aggressive! I’d say our experience was amazing and we’ll be back soon! Thank you

    My husband and I decided to go to the Drunk Oyster for our anniversary. Neither of us had been before. We were pleasantly surprised at the experience as a whole. We had read the bad reviews and came prepared knowing that we too may have something to complain about. This did not happen. We were kindly greeted and taken right away to our reserved table. The ambiance was electrifying in the sense that everyone around us was enjoying their time there as well. We loved the darkened atmosphere and the candles on the tables. While a bit noisy, it still felt intimate and exclusive. I had the ribeye steak, zucchini with pesto, and the coolest curly fries I've ever had. My husband had the grilled scallops on top of asparagus and mushrooms risotto. We ended by sharing a bananas foster which was to die for! They make the ice cream in house and it was truly the best part of the meal for me. I also had a delicious blueberry and coconut mojito that complimented the meal very well. All of this was overshadowed by our awesome waiter, Alan. We have never experienced such an attentive, kind, and completely honest server. My husband asked Alan about certain dishes and asked Alan's opinion on the taste. He was open and honest about which dishes that we would enjoy according to our tastes. Alan was not annoyingly attentive but instead seemed to be able to read our minds when something was needed. He told us about the process that the Drunken Oyster uses to get the fresh seafood, saying that the scallops on my husband's plate had been alive just 3 days before. He assured us that nothing is frozen and thawed to prepare the meals. Alan made our experience amazing. He was genuine and I believe he truly cares about his customers. In fact, he told us that he worked for us instead of working for the restaurant. I have not seen that type of service in all of my 52 years. He is truly a gem.
