Just made the semi-annual visit to Dusty's and it was fabulous. They offer up a variety of Oysters that are some of the best I've found anywhere. Highly recommend to anyone, and really no comparison to the more expensive or chain places. The waitresses are awesome, very friendly and provide really good service. Really look forward to next visit!

Friday at 5:00PM, place was full. Had a 45 minute wait. Food was good, service could be better. Oysters are $7.99 a dozen. Music was blaring our entire visit. Very annoying to our party. It was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table.

My wife and I planned on doing an "Oyster Crawl" when we were in PCB recently. We had grandiose plans of hitting up seven different places. We made it to two...Dusty's stopped us dead in our tracks. We went in on a weekday at around 3 and had no trouble getting two stools at the oyster bar. The oysters were... More

Really fun place to hang out!!! Cool stuff on the walls and ceiling to look at (lots and lots and lots of $ bills). The guys shucking the oysters are having fun and like to strike drum cymbals.My husband thought the oyster sampler was the best!! I tried one, and it was good. I am a little squeamish of them.

Went on Friday evening and had 40 minute wait. Seated at octagon shaped table with another couple and two guys. Service is slow but be patient. Ordered beer $1.85 draft compared to more than $3.00 for bottle at other places. Ordered a dozen of their Dusty Oysters, first time based on recommendation of the two guts we sat with. They... More

My parents went to Dusty's last year when we were on vacation in PCB last year without me. This year they made it a point to take me back. I had my first oyster. I wasn't a big fan, but my parents love love love it there! We haven't eaten anything on the menu that we didn't like. The service... More

There were 4 adults plus a toddler and infant in our party. We stopped at the first non-chain restaurant we agreed upon...mostly because the guys like raw oysters. For late afternoon, the place was pretty busy. I'm guessing it's a local hangout. My daughter and I ordered grilled shrimp po-boys. The shrimp was good. This is the first restaurant where... More

I go to Panama City twice a year and always go here as the oysters are always the best in the area. In addition, the blackened scallops are to kill for. I have eaten seafood all over the world and I have had none any better, especially at the reasonable prices.

My husband didn't like oysters, until he had them at Dusty's!! Fresh and fast!! The service was great, the beer cold and the oysters very tasty! We popped in on our way home from Pier Park because we didn't want to go to a chain restaurant - so glad we did! Enjoyed the locals, the atmosphere and especially the fact... More
