Reviews Simply Seafood Market & Oyster Bar

I’ve known about Simply Seafood for some time now but never had the opportunity to go. Absolutely lives up to the hype. Really cute coastal atmosphere. Casual. Friendly and punctual staff. I’ve read where people did complain about the parking. I don’t understand the issue. You can park in front or back with doors at both the front and back. Family friendly. A lot of locals eat there. They serve beer and wine. Non alcoholic drinks are self served. Their amazing food runs 5-8 dollars per entree than what you get at other places and the food is 15-20 dollars better per entree. They don’t have fried food. Which is fine by me. But, if you want fried shrimp or fried oysters/fish. This isn’t your place. That being said… they offer several types of fish. FRESH. Shrimp and oysters several different ways. They have 3 soups. I got the lobster bisque. Wonderful. I created a combo with 1/2 lb crab legs and shrimp scampi. You get a choice of 2 sides. I chose the cheesy grits. The best grits I’ve ever had and I’m a grit eater. And I’ve eaten at some good places. I also got the steamed vegetable, so good. Our entire table enjoyed that there were several selections. Our server was cheerful and always on time. One of my fellow diners got the lobster and steamed shrimp. She loved it and that lobster tail was meaty. Fried food loving husband got a half rack of ribs. Very meaty and tender and he was happy. Their desserts are home made and looked amazing but we were all stuffed. Next time though We will eat there on a regular basis. So happy that what I read about Simply Seafood was accurate

We were in Panama City in a short getaway and were looking for some good seafood. A local, recommended Simply Seafood in Lynn Haven. Now I love little hole in the wall local establishments. And Simply Seafood met that criteria. Small, out of the way building didn’t look like much but we were well pleased. We got there early, around 4:30 pm, so the place looked empty. We were sitting quickly and met promptly by our server. I’m glad we got there early, because by the time we left, the place was packed and there was a wait for tables. Limited menu, but what they had they did very well. I ordered the steamed shrimp, sliced potatoes and corn on the cob. Shrimp was nicely done and very well seasoned. Cocktail sauce was in the table and nice and tangy. Potatoes were soft and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Corn was buttery and excellent. My wife, is not a seafood eater, so she ordered the burger. Large, juicy patty, nicely flavored. Excellent burger. Service was great! Atmosphere was fun and had a local vibe. Prices were reasonable and didn’t gouge you like the “strip” seafood places. Highly recommend if you’re in the area! When you’re visiting a tourist area, always ask the locals where they eat, you won’t go wrong!

We've eaten here before. This is a review for the Lobster Bisque. The rest of the food was good. I'm not sure what happened, but this was way to thick like pudding almost and had little taste to it. I think we may have gotten three tiny pieces of lobster. Definitely not worth the 7 dollar price. Definitely wouldn't order again.

I best this place is packed during the tourist season and at night. Did lunch and it was great. Oysters excellent. Grouper good so glad it wasn’t fried, steamed nicely. Veggies great. I’m sure this is a crazy busy place normally.

Best place to eat in the area period. Very good service friendly waiter's. Oyster are delicious and omg gotta try the flounder mine was very small but delicious 😋. I got key lime pie it's a definite gotta have So if you haven't ate here or bought oysters you must.

OMG! If you love seafood, you need to come here. The food was AMAZING! The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. We had the steamed cod, steamed shrimp, scallops, and shrimp scampi. All of it was flavorful and fresh. The carrot cake is the best I have ever tasted; rich moist and sweet as all get out. The service was fantastic! Our server was friendly and nice. The chefs come to your table to deliver your food from the kitchen as soon as its ready. The food was ready quickly, despite the restaurant being very busy. The atmosphere is laid back and casual. Definitely recommend you try this restaurant. SIMPLE BUT DELICIOUS!

Food is exquisite at a low price point. Must have. My go to place.

The grits were excellent, the coleslaw was amazing and the grilled shrimp was good. You had to get your own drink but the staff was very friendly. It was clean and it had a very good atmosphere. I would recommend it.
