    Great customer service ! There was a 30min wait time but that's to be expected on the weekends. The food was pretty good, too. Only bad thing was they messed up 1 of the orders.. was suppose to get a 8oz lobster tail with a side but ended up getting a 4oz lobster tail with tilapia and a side.. and they didn't have garlic for the melted butter 😐 lol.. but otherwise, great experience & good vibes!! Our waitress was the best, left a $35 tip for her 💕

    Go every year for my birthday. Absolutely my favorite restaurant. Pricing per person can vary a lot, depending on what you order.

    Out of all the restaurants we've gone to, this restaurant is by far the best. They know how to make drinks. Food is either not too salty like Circa or bland like Pierro. Check this place out if you haven't. They need better lighting inside. The hush puppies are amazing

    Went for dinner for the first time Thursday night and both food and service were great! The steam pot was definitely worth the $$ and the alligator bites & popcorn shrimp apps were amazing as well! Will be returning to this establishment everytime we’re in the mood for good seafood!

    I’ve always heard how great 316 is and finally got the chance to go. We ordered the seafood pasta, calamari, oysters, steamed seafood pot and several bar drinks. Everything was super delicious. It’s easy to see why they have a great reputation amongst locals.

    Showed up at 1920. Was immediately seated for a party of 3 at a booth. The hush puppies were bright out immediately with a whipped spread with honey. Ordered alligator bites for appetizer and they were delivered about 1927. Alligator bites are very good and seasoned. Not overcooked and has the right texture to it. Placed order for two seafood combo with catfish and fish (blackened) with sides, fried chicken breast with sides and a kids shrimp and french fries at 1932. Food arrived at 1946 soooooooo roughly a little under 15 minutes. Our server Jessica was amazing. She was very attentive and very responsive to our request. She made the experience great. Definitely will be back again. Oh yes, let me not forget the great music selection of old classics cause they make for a great ambiance and overall experience. 5🌟s.

    Oysters Rockefeller were great. Clam chowder was more potato than clam but still good. Clam strips were good. Oyster shooter was pretty tasty

    Took my son here for his early birthday after school one day since him and I are the seafood people in our household. (The other 3 are land lovers.) Lol. We enjoyed our food and Jessica took good care of us. We had steamed oysters,alligator, clam chowder, and my son had been craving Crab legs which hit the spot for him. You also get hushpuppies which were good.

    Place is very popular, however I found the food to be very mediocre especially for the price we paid. Place was clean, although I did not make a trip to the bathroom which is a complete tell. Service and staff were exceptional and the only reason I give them 4 stars instead of 3.

    We love it every time. Everything is great, but if you are down for the most amazing parmesan roasted oysters, get those and don't look back.

    Definitely will be returning. Perfection on every point. Everyone says "oh it's a bit pricey!" If you want GREAT food and service, you'll pay more than what you would for fast food...

    Went here for dinner on Saturday night. Our waiter was friendly. Service was fast, accurate and professional. The food we got was good, some of it very good. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is the portion size of the fried flounder, one small piece, seemed small for the price.

    Very nice place to eat excellent service. Unfortunately for me when my food arrived the vegetables were cold. It's definitely worth trying again.

  • 5/5 Amber F. 5 months ago on Google
    This was a really great place to eat. Our service was fantastic. We didn't have to wait long for anything. The food was delicious. I ordered catfish and shrimp and everything was so fresh. The catfish was very flaky and had lots of flavor. The shrimp was cooked really well also. Then we ordered a piece of New York cheese cake and that was the best cheese cake I have ever tasted. Not sure if it beat NY cheese cake, but it's definitely some of the best that Fayetteville has to offer. We really enjoyed our evening here.

    Great spot to meet and get together. Casual atmosphere with great seafood. Seats at the oyster bar are hard to come by. Staff members are great.

    Jessica our server was very nice and patient with my mother. The seafood was hot and fresh and prompt. This is one of my moms fav’s for seafood.

  • 5/5 Greg W. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place for high quality seafood. Thick and generous portions. Moderately priced but you will forget about that while savoring the nicely done dish. It is usually packed, arrive early.

  • 5/5 Debbie S. 1 year ago on Google
    We usually eat in the bar and on the weekends we request Shirley she is the best although we have never had a bad server. Food is delicious, owner is very nice and I would recommend to anyone. If you are looking for fancy and a lot of quiet atmosphere this would not be for you . 316 is a family seafood restaurant and well worth a visit in my opinion. Give it a try Enjoy 😊

  • 3/5 Savannah R. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was mediocre, service was great! If you’re looking for a good local oyster spot, this might not be it. They have a standard oyster with not much brine, flavor, etc. I felt a tad misled by all of the oyster photos and wonderful reviews. The service was quick and great. My server was attentive and kind. There was a decent crowd mostly of older folks.

    Arrived with a party of 8 and were seated within 20 mins of our arrival. We were told to call ahead and let the receptionist know we’d be coming. Once seated the waitress came over and took our drink order. With a party of 8 there should be more than 1 server. It’s Understandable not to have the manpower to do so but there is always a manager or assistant to help. The waitress was very sweet and she did an amazing job keeping up with the demands of our party. But the quality of the food was less than impressive. I ordered the 3 course (flounder, shrimp and clam strips fried) with a sprite. Oyster Rockefeller and seafood dip. Everything was terrible. The fish was undercooked as well as the clam strips. In my opinion the price of the food should match the quality. But it did not! My bill was about 70+ with gratuity included. In the menu it states that parties over 7 (on the same bill) automatically includes gratuity. While I recognize the way the service industry works, I also believe that I should have the ability to tip accordingly based on service. My entire party ended up with 6 bills. Each with gratuity already included. Needless to say I will never eat here again based off of food quality alone. I hope this review helps someone else to not waste money like we did. May the odds be ever in your favor. Good Luck.

    Been hearing a lot about this restaurant from my family. 1st time going to 316 Oyster Bar. This place is great. The ambience is cool and the crowd here is suave!!! The delicious food tops everything about this restaurant!!! The food was so delicious and our Server was totally awesome!!! Thanks for an awesome experience!!!!

    Great place! Inside has a cool retro vibe. My wife and I split a pick 3 seafood combo and everything was good. We got Oyster’s Rockefeller as an appetizer and it was delicious. Next time we’ll split a crab pot. It’s expensive but not unreasonable since it’s seafood.

    Short wait on a Saturday evening. Three of us. One got steak one got ribs and I got the two sea food making it flounder and catfish. I thought it was an insane amount of fish until one of my companions ate the portions my belly was unwilling to give sanctuary to. Cole slaw was a surprise. I complain about all cole slaw until this one. I usually am good at figuring out how a dish is flavored. What spices, which herbs and the sauce. Stumped. Good job. Thought the experience would cripple my financial standing for months. Not at all I am happy to report. So yes, it is a reasonable assumption that we shall return one day.
