Captain Joe recommended this place. We drove an hour and a half (from DeLand)to get to Gary's oyster bar. A mom and pop shop with oysters to die for. Seafood gumbo, oysters raw and steamed (don't forget the dirty butter!), crayfish, crab legs, and lobster bites a must!!... Wishing I can give this place a 10.

Decent restaurant. The food can be great if you like seafood but there aren’t really a lot of options for children or picky eaters. The people can be a bit different but they will still serve your food without any problems. Inside the restaurant has a nice fishing and nostalgic decor and area it reminds me of older dads who are into fish and baseball. Over all 3.8/5 :)Wheelchair accessibility: Great parking spots for the disabled but it runs out quickly

Gary’s : Greatest A*s Restaurant Ya’ll’ SeriouslyThe wood paneling wall and hospitality felt like home. As we sat at the bar for our dinner service, it felt like a private meal. Not only was the food feeling straight from the sea, but our waiter must have been a merman in a past life. The way he was able to chuck oysters and advise our tastebuds was another level. Was it the aphrodisiacs or the atmosphere ? Who’s to say. Either way, I was loving every second.Although, I was missing my friend Gary whom had passed recently - I love eating raw at Gary’s.
We found this place because my father in laws is named Gary. Gary’s do it well.Where do I begin!? This place is exceptional low country cooking! First off, I’m from Ohio and typically when you leave the state you need to ask for Busch Light and places usually make fun of you for even asking. However, I asked the bartender here for a Busch Light and he said “hell yeah we got it. This is Polk County.” When I heard that I knew I was right at home.Get the raw Oysters and Cat Fish Strips. You cannot go wrong. The perfect dive coming from small town Ohio people!

Good place to eat, great food Good customer service. The only problem I have is that I placed a order over a year ago with a call in order and received a family emergency on my way to pick up my order so obviously I didn't pick up my order nor did I call to cancel but I should have but that was the least of my concerns. So I can no longer call in a order for pick up still to this day a year plus later.
