Not a fan of oysters? You will be....................

I wasn't a big fan of oysters before today, now I'm hooked! The oysters are smoked in the shell and topped with butter, parmeson cheese, and shrimp - absolutely delicious!! You could also get oysters topped...

Great Oysters!!

It's no place of beauty and if you looking for a place to be seen, don't bother to stop. If you have a carload of crumbcrunhing runrats, don't even slow down, head down 146 to McDonalds. However, if you...

Nice change of atmosphere

Gilhooley's patrons march to their own drummers. If you're looking for the yuppie crowd, go elsewhere. If you're "down home," this is the place. There's a mix of ages and attitudes. The decor is funky. There...

Yelp.com Review - by Mike W.

5.0 of 5 stars. At the corner of the bay there is a poorly kept secret. If you've got the time, and love the brine....come see where the oysters shine. I'm writing this in anticipation of the oncoming oyster season....

Blindingly Good

Only made it to the Gilhooley's Oysters and the Shrimphooley's Specialty Oysters. True, that's why I went, but still. I suspect the rest of the menu is as good as these 'ersters, but I didn't make it past...

Yelp.com Review - by Suzanne R.

5.0 of 5 stars. You have never had oysters the way the Gilhooley's serves you oysters. Prepared over a wood-roasted oven, they come to the table with a browned coating of butter and parmesan cheese. We ventured down...

Hamburgers And Oysters

Gilhooley's has the best Hamburgers and Oysters I've ever eaten. I live 28 miles away and I don't mind the drive. Kids are not allowed and I like that too.

Who ordered the raw burger?

When you're tired of sushi, try the raw fare at this Gulf Coast classic. Dive-y decor, sassy waitstaff and relaxed outdoor dining. Order as many raw oysters as your belly can handle and while away the...
