Big T’s Seafood Market Bar: Reviews & Ratings

The food was okay but not great. I wouldn't recommend the curry shrimp. It came in a bowl and was basically soup but the shrimp wasn't peeled head and all. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing but you was burning your hands trying to unpeel the shrimp. I would have prefer that be in the description because I wouldn't have ordered it.

In A Nutshell: -Big T's Seafood Market Bar is the shizzle. -We ordered a ton of their awesomely prepared seafood dishes such as clams, oysters, gewey duck, shrimp, softshell crab and cuddlefish. -The next time we come back I'm going to order a tomahawk steak, which I saw them bringing out to other customers. -Their draft beer selection is perfect, since I love IPAs, they have a wide-variety & they serve their beers super-cold in a frozen glass cup too. -There are TV's all over the place, which is very cool. Overall, the owner Tyrone is very friendly & we'll be back again soon.

We went for happy hour and everything was fresh prepared and just delicious! I can't decide what my favorite was, between the grilled calamari, fresh oysters, garlic fries, and fried oysters . I will be back for sure and our waitress was so nice helpful and friendly. This place isn't fancy in decor and feel but the taste makes up for is 1000% ..hats off to the owner

A cost effective restaurant! Because their menu is short. We don't need to drop into the choosing-difficulity symptom. The seasoning of the food is wild, violence and simple. It is not recommended to eat here alone.

The happy hour menu is a great value! The 1$ oysters were fresh, the fries were abundant and well seasoned, the popcorn shrimp were meaty! I also tried the house garlic prawns grilled, the flavor and garlic sauce were amazing, but i may have to suspect they were frozen, but still very tasty. The service was very friendly and make me want to come back and try more on the menu. My boyfriend saw a giant ribeye at some of the patrons tables. We didnt bother to ask since we couldn't spot it on the menu, but the chef encouraged us to order it next time. Their happy hour is everyday till 6:30, just long enough for us to make it after work!

They were really accommodating by making seafood for me without butter and rinsing the grill (I have butter / milk allergy). The seafood portions were awesome and the lady here was really nice. Thanks!

Stopped by Big T’s Seafood Bar with a friend the other night, and honestly, it was such a fun surprise. I wasn’t planning on having a “big seafood evening,” but the moment the plates started coming out, I was fully on board. We tried a mix of shrimp, oysters, and a couple of sides — everything tasted fresh, seasoned just right, and came out piping hot. The portions were bigger than I expected too, which I appreciate when it comes to seafood (nothing worse than tiny plates for big prices — not the case here). Service was warm and easygoing, the kind where you feel like they actually enjoy having people there. The space itself is casual, a little loud, but in that lively, everyone’s-having-a-good-time way. Not a “sit quietly with a book” spot — more of a “laugh with friends over food” kind of place, which fit the night perfectly. Only thing I’d tweak is the lighting — the designer in me always wishes for a touch more warmth or character — but that’s me being picky. Overall, really solid seafood, friendly people, and a relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely be back when I’m craving something fresh and messy in the best way
