Siesta Key Oyster Bar, was an experience to remember. Although we did have to wait twenty minutes, it was well worth it. We sat outside, the service was great and so was the music! I highly recommend the Jalapeño Vodka Oysters and the Shrimp Fajitas!

Atmosphere was great, drinks and appetizers came out quick, oysters were average, but then the over an hour wait just to get our entrees began. After about 40 minutes we calmly asked about how long before the entrees would be served, our server told us about 5 minutes and went back to serving a large party close to us. Finally... More

Just back from our second visit to Siesta Key and had to review SKOB once again as THE place to eat, drink and just hang out. Brilliant atmosphere, great food and fantastic staff. Enjoyed by both locals and visitors, this place is always the busiest bar in the village.

We had heard of SKOB from friends and ate here our first night in Siesta Key. Fun, fun place! We ate inside near the bar due to the rain (thank you Tropical Storm Andrea) but the rain didn't dampen the musicians who were tucked into a protected corner of the porch. Love the music, the dollar bills paper all over... More

Great food and service, We all enjoyed the live singers each evening too. Our second time at Siesta Key and definitely our favourite place to eat in the evenings.

I go here for the happy hour alone. A dozen oysters on the half shell for $6! Throw in a pitcher of beer and I am a very happy gal. This is a must visit bar for us every trip and I wasn't disappointed. My mom ordered a pina coloda and complained that it didn't taste right. I had a... More

We ate here the first night in Siesta Key and loved it. Unique atmosphere, great service and obviously one of the favorite hangouts for locals and tourists alike. Freshest oysters, delicious burgers, best French fries we've ever had.

Maybe I should stop watching the Bar Rescue TV show because all I saw were violations at this bar. John Taffer might need to make a visit here. SKOB is pretty packed at night (mostly due to the entertainment) but it wasn't that busy when I went for dinner. I noticed that they allow smoking on the front deck. Maybe... More

I am sorry that the warm Florida Humid weather was bothersome to you. We are not happy with it either at times and try our best to appease everyone. If we use misters we get complaints on them. It is a hard task to handle with an outdoor restaurant. That is why we offer indoor seating, with air conditioning. In... More

These are the best fried pickles we have ever eaten...the homemade wasabi dill dip was delicious. Loved the outdoor seating!
