I have been eating at the Boss since 1989. They use to have a sign on their front door that read,"If You Want Fast Service, Atlanta is 329 miles." I am not kidding, this was for real. The service has changed so much for the better, ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I am approaching 60 years old. I have eaten oysters all over the northern hemisphere including harvesting them along Hood Canal in Washington State and cooking them on an open fire. And buying the "best oysters" at the South Street ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We think RAW OYSTERS are the BEST at the BOSS!! It offers a great relaxing view of the peaceful river with a laid back atmosphere. Always an ample amount of food with a friendly and helpful staff. I can select from a wide ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I visited Boss Oyster with some friends on October 7, 2006. The service we recieved was poor and the portions were microscopic. I paid $14 for a shrimp basket that included 8 small pieces of shrimp, a garnish of coleslaw, and some ... more on Yahoo! Travel

They really know how to cook seafood and I do not think it could have been more fresher tasting and perfectly cooked. Two of the service people need a few hours training on how to be minimally effecti ... more on TripAdvisor

The food here was OK (just OK), but the service was b-a-d! And there was not a smiling face among any of the employees. Total downer. We ate at ... more on TripAdvisor

We ate at the Oyster Boss this summer and I had the worst oysters I've had in a while. My wife got a chicken sandwich and our bill was forty-one dollars. We ate outside so we had fun at least feeding the seagulls our dinners. The ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Although the food was fantastic and was the official "Best Oysters" in Florida the service was an unforgettable experience. Our waiter added an 18% gratuity of a party of 2 without informing us. She did not even greet us and just ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Anytime I am within 100 miles of Boss's Oyster House I make it a point to detour to it. Great place. I've read other reviews about bad oysters (I am VERY particular about oysters and have never had a bad one there) slow/rude service ... more on Yahoo! Travel
