Amazing place with great people!

Lee and Rick's delivered again. On Father's Day we went to eat. The oysters we fat and so tasty and fresh!!! Our server had a great personality and opened all the buckets with speed and ease. Highly recommend this wonderful place for the best oysters around!

Go for the oysters. If you read the reviews here, note that everyone there for the oysters loved them. The rest of the food is secondary. The atmosphere will turn off some, but me and my friends love the old Florida vibe. My only disappointment is finding out they landfill the shells. There are several local organizations that can use those shells to help restore coastal habitat here in FL.

Great good, great service. Authentic experience

Incredible! 10/10. Can’t wait to make this part of our yearly vacations tradition. The oysters were huge, and plentiful.

Has great oysters and clam chowder! Worth the price!
-
Fresh Fresh oysters are shucked right in front of you . Jen was our do it all server. Didn't try the other choices on the menu . Beers are very reasonably priced. Appetizers were also worth looking at. Was happily full after a dozen raw oysters 😋 and 🍻🍺. If you must have lime 🍋🟩 for your beers, you are welcomed to bring your own. Not served here! First time here! Will definitely be back. Not a sports bar but an oyster raw bar with beer and some wine and non-alcoholic beverages. No hard liquor here!

My family and I have been LONG time regulars since 1985, this is the perfect place to come and have a good meal of oysters, shrimp, clams, and crab cakes especially after a long day of work. The service is great and has been consistent for decades. The food is reasonably priced and fresh! The best time to visit would be oyster season but regardless the food is great YEARLONG!

Visited Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar and honestly the food was delicious. Our favorites were definitely the oysters, the catfish, and the crab legs. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. At first, the atmosphere felt a little unusual because the restaurant was very quiet and enclosed when we arrived. But once you start eating, you understand the vibe. It’s a calm, local traditional spot with plenty of space and an authentic old-school Florida seafood aesthetic. We ended up loving it.

We have been to Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar about 4 to 5 times. Each time the common denominators are: the best oysters we have EVER had (we have been to Michelin Star restaurants and they have nothing on them) and the best alligator bites! Each server is very real and they all have their own personalities, no one has ever been rude to us, they just treat everyone in their own way, but very respectfully! The price point is AMAZING: like I said, we only order the bucket of oysters and the alligator bites with the one 1L of beer, and always leave satisfied and leaving as much tip as we can.

Best fresh oysters in town with fast and friendly service. The place is old. Probably oldest in the city and that gives it character. Great place to drink beer in a low budget. Very old school oyster bar where they shuck them in front of you and you throw the empty shells on the in front of the bar.
-
A perfect little dive oyster bar. Great service and food.
-
