Always a great meal and a great time! My favorite is the Argentinan shrimp. These were PREFECT. They were steamed just right and the shells just slid off. I chose some fried okra for a side and received more than I could eat. Music was excellent.

Fresh seafood. Specials daily. I got a fresh soft shell crab po boy hot out of the fryer to perfection. I like their hush puppies and homemade Cole Slaw. Iced Tea is great made fresh. Great atmosphere and owners work on site.

Don't go here looking for luxury. Nothing fancy. Looks a bit questionable on the outside. Go here looking for good food served in a very friendly (Jennifer) atmosphere by welcoming ( Jennifer) and accommodating staff (Jennifer). The fried oysters were really good. Crispy, tasty and hot upon arrival. Outside seating is overlooking the Alabama River. Great find. Did I mention that Jennifer was a great server, made us feel welcome and had great ideas about what sights to see.

The scenery is really cute, laid back, with a touch of history. The service was immediate and it did not take long for our food to come. Let's talk about the FOOOD...Oysters Rockefeller-A++; Grilled Catfish meal with Fried oyster, coleslaw; Catfish PoBoy with fried okra and Rice Pilaf; Frog legs, fried okra and Baked Potato--Everything was DELICIOUS!!!! If yuh haven't been here before, you need to come.

Yelped this place while finishing a job. Visiting from Charlotte with 2 colleague. Our local team joined us also so there was 5 of us. We sat on the porch overlooking the lake which was quite picturesque! Started with 2 shrimp jammers each. They were crispy hot and tasty served with ranch. Great starter! Each of us ordered a lunch entree of seafood with 2 sides; I ordered the combo platter (fried oysters, fried shrimp, fried fish) with cheese grits and corn nuggets for sides. The food came out shortly after finisher our jammers. Some how managed to delete my entree photo. ‍ There was a common theme of FRIED with the exception of the cheese grits with this meal, and they knew what they were doing with batter and fryer. The portion size was "just right", and the corn nuggets were moist inside with cream style corn oozing out. Loved the FRIED oysters and shrimp. Fish was good in the tartar sauce provided. The service was excellent. They kept my Arnold Palmer full and even brought me a to go cup when we were finished.

Phenomenal atmosphere and fresh seafood! The batter is delicious and crunchy. Server was great.

Really good food.. laid back environment..nice people..you can drive by boat or car... dine in or on the patio.. you can even bring your dog...

Great food, Great service. Rustic building, but right on the river Oysters and steamed shrimp are outstanding. And the beer is cold.

Our second time stopping here on the way to Gulf Shores. It is right off of the interstate and on a lake. We like to sit outside and look at the water. It's a great little bar and grill and both times that we have been there it has been very busy. They have delicious gumbo! Get the full bowl but I do have to tell you that it is very filling. The oysters were great too. The atmosphere and the deck are awesome. It was busy (slammed) at 2:00 on a Friday but they handled it pretty well. I got a few stickers and I look forward to coming back next year.

I've often heard it stated that great BarBeQue comes from Restaurants one would describe as a "joint". The Capitol Oyster Bar doesn't serve BBQ to my knowledge, but it's "joint factor" is in the high end of the scale. Serving high quality seafood is something that the owner here clearly takes very seriously. I often eat seafood on the gulf coast, but the food quality here is often a cut above what I find in coastal restaurants. The half shell oysters are always exceedingly fresh, large and tasty. The steamed shrimp and fried seafood is always excellent. This place is located on the bank of the Alabama River and the views are great. The outdoor seating area is truly delightful. The wait staff are kind, attentive, and efficient. On my most recent visit, I encountered the largest half shell oysters I have ever eaten. They were fresh and tasty as well. Those big beauts were twice the dive of a standard saltine. They must have harvested these down stream from a steroid plant!! I'm telling ya, they were huge. I'll be back soon folks, you're doing a great job!
