Snapper shack grill & oyster bar

Very good food. I have eaten here several times and it is always been good food.

Excellent seafood. Great atmosphere. Treated my wife with a birthday dessert and made her feel great and special on her birthday.

The food was excellent. I would say it's like eating at high-end restaurant, with fun, relaxing, casual dinning... It is well worth the trip to be able to experience the wonderful food there...

OK, I finally got to try the new restaurant. I'm a local so I want to be fair but accurate. I also worked in restaurants years ago so I know a what to expect.

Party of 5. Lunch service. Counter order and delivered to the table.

Surprisingly no one ordered anything on the really higher end on the menu. Mainly because the mid-priced items more of a "southern staples" selection.

The most popular choice among our group was fried catfish and fries. While I really like fish, fried catfish is not normally first choice. However, this was really, really good catfish. Very fresh and not the least bit fishy tasting.

Personally, I ordered a grilled Salmon salad. Also really, really good. Not just a bowl of lettice and tomatoes. A wonderful assortment of ingredients. I had the house dressing and it was amazing. I'll go back for this dish alone. Understand, I'm a big meat eater. I eat salads because their healthy and I'm old. Not because I am a big veggie eater. This thing was good.

Let me add something about their sauces. Apparently they make their own sauces in house. House dressing, tarter sauce, etc. They all taste amazing. Really amazing as in go there for the sauces if nothing else. ESPECIALLY the house dressing. Perfect on their excellent salad.

Now the bad. Understanding it a new place and I suspect much of the " bad" will disappear quickly.

The grilled salmon salad. I will be requesting a larger fish portion next time. I fully expect to pay extra for it. I just want a bit more fish in the salad.

Carry out sauce containers are appropriately sized. Surprisingly, sauce portions when dinning in are a bit skimpy. While the house dressing is to die for it's a bit thin and runny.

The service. I realize that they really don't do table service. I think with this menu that they might have missed the mark. Personally, I would have gladly paid more for it. It would just "feel" right. This food is so good it deserves table service.
It's almost like they haven't decided if they want to be a restaurant or a fast food joint.

Also, if I'm waiting for you to cook up a meal please don't rush out my dessert. By the time we've eaten the chilled pie is warm and the whipped cream has melted. Delivering dessert to the table first doesn't work well with some dishes.

Finally, bigger cups please.

All in all, it was an excellent experience. So of the best food to be had locally. They will definitely be seeing too much of me.

There is quite a bit to unpack here so let's start with the good. The atmosphere is perfect, just spaced out enough to be comfortable, perfect decorations and a good soundscape. The paper towels as napkins are common in southern Oklahoma, I don't like it but I won't dock points for it.

There is some bad stuff however. First off, our food was spicy for some reason, like all of it, even the French fries. Even the grilled zucchini was spicy, I don't understand why either. My fish was dry and thin but I was trying something new so I'll give it a pass. The drink selection was strange and not what you expect in a seafood place. I will probably come back some time to try more of the food on selection but overall impression is not looking great.
