GARY'S OYSTER SHACK – Seafood
Old-Florida seafood with a Cajun accent, run out of a low-key room on North Tyndall Parkway since 2012. The kitchen fries whole flounder, stacks a grouper sandwich worth the mess, and builds the Shack Stack from grouper, crab cake, sea scallop and jumbo shrimp over dirty rice and cheese grits. Smoked tuna dip and gumbo start things off; hand-cut ribeyes cover anyone not eating from the water. Sides, sauces and desserts are made in house daily. Diners keep coming back for the freshness and the size of the plates. Lunch through early dinner, closed Sunday and Monday.
