Slick Lips Seafood & Oyster House

Tried this new place for date night on a Friday evening. Service was wonderful from Riley, kind, quick, and knowledgeable on the menu. Lots of wonderful options and looking forward to trying again. It did take a bit a time for main dishes to come out with a mostly empty restaurant, only reason for 4 stars on food is my key lime fish dish came out with skin on without that indicated on the menu. I’m a new fish eater and it was strange. We had the fish dip app and it was delicious, just wish it came with something other than saltine crackers.
However, taste was wonderful on all our dishes. Brussels sprout side dish was absolutely the best I’ve ever had.

After spending the morning at Palafox Market we were feeling snackish. We decided to try out Slick Lips as we love seafood. After reviewing the menu we knew we had to try the chargrilled garlic parmesan oysters and the BBQ shrimp. They arrived promptly and the oysters were still slightly bubbling hot. They were both outstandingly delicious! The "bbq sauce" on the shrimp was deeply flavorful, and the pieces of bread that came with both were used to eat the sauce right off the plate. We received 7 very large peeled shrimp so just enough to satisfy our cravings. The oysters were nicely grilled and full of flavor as well. I could have eaten the whole dozen by myself but I managed to show some restraint and share.
The server did make sure to point out the 20% service charge prior to us ordering, but I had already seen this on their website, so I was aware. I applaud the ownership for taking such a bold move in order to properly reward all of their staff.
We will definitely return again and again!

New restaurant on Palafox that’s located where Tin Cow used to be!🐟🍤🦞🦪

This seafood based restaurant brings a casual dining experience with a bit of a pricey menu to look through!

Atmosphere: The space is well decorated with an assortment of seating options: booths, tables, high tables, bar seating, and the unique table areas by the windows! They have their brand implemented throughout the space which shows the seafood theme that they serve.
Service: Our waitress was very friendly and notified us of everything that we should know about the space since it’s new and was our first time there.
Menu items: I got the grilled shrimp tacos with the Brussel sprouts, and both were flavorful and fresh! I especially loved the way the Brussel sprouts were seasoned and glazed with a slight tangy sauce!

Overall, I loved the space and enjoyed the food. They automatically add a 20% gratuity but explain this to customers once seated—you have the option to add on to the tip if you wish to! The menu items can be pricey depending on what you choose with the side options charged separately as well. It’s worth a visit even if you decide to just go once!

Overall, I loved the fried shrimp. Atmosphere is very very nice , but the mandatory 20% gratuity for ALL, meaning each ticket, no difference if you dine alone or not, is what will not have me to return.

We ordered the chargrilled oysters, the crab crusted grouper, and the red fish special. The oysters were very tasty. The
Entrées were both good, but not spectacular. The service was good but nothing over the top which also has me questioning the 20% service charge. I’m not a fan of this type of policy. We typically will tip 20% anyway but this makes me not want to provide any additional tip when I am forced to give 20% regardless of the service.
