What a wonderful find. There are not many restaurant's like this one left. It is located on a pristine river, and the food is great. Oysters on the half shell were the best I found in the area. Ther fish dinners were great, not only fried but grilled and saute fish. Service was very good and our server was very knowledgeable about local seafood. It is a great place to take a family group and the wait for a large table of 8 was about 10 minutes. They also do priority seating which most waterfront restaurants will not do. It was well worth the drive to south venice and I will be back soon.

My husband & I love going to this restaurant. We moved to North Port 4 years ago, after living in Sarasota. I was raised in Sarasota and spent most of my life there. One of my favorite places to go was the Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar. The Myakka Oyster Bar reminds me of that. And while many of their items are served in plastic baskets, they are trying to conserve precious water in the area by not having to run their dishwashers as much. Their servers are always friendly, food is always hot, and tarter sauce right on the table, so no need to ask for more. Suggest going on Tuesday Early Bird. Their beer battered shrimp is the best I've ever tasted.

Food is Ok, but they serve you on paper plates with plastic utensils. For the price and the fact that this is a sit-down, eat-in restaurant, I want real utensils and plates.
