Capitol Oyster - Montgomery

This charming local restaurant in Montgomery is situated along the banks of the Alabama River, offering beautiful views of the downtown skyline. On Sundays, they feature a live Blues band, which comes with a cover charge for entry. The spacious outdoor patio is a great place to relax, and they have an impressive selection of seafood. I particularly enjoyed the gumbo, which is saying a lot since I’m quite particular about it. Overall, a delightful experience!

The food was outstanding! The entire staff had a wonderfully positive attitude, making us feel genuinely welcome, as if they were thrilled to see us as individuals rather than just customers. A big shoutout for cultivating such a fantastic atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing – enough said! Edit: I returned about a month later and ordered the raw oysters, but they were tipped over and spilled all their delicious juices. I also tried the frog legs with coleslaw, but the breading fell off as soon as I picked them up, leaving me with bland frog legs. The coleslaw was just pickled vegetables. I wouldn't recommend it.

I truly adore this charming riverside restaurant. It’s a Southern gem! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and it’s filled with nostalgic vibes. There’s also a huge, friendly black cat who loves to hang around and will happily share your cheese sticks. I cherish the memories of my entire Robbins family enjoying a fantastic meal there right after a photo shoot and interview for an international magazine article about our family-owned transmission shops. I miss my Poppa Robbins dearly. Such wonderful times!

The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the fried catfish, fried shrimp, Snow Crab legs, and more. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I would definitely recommend this place!
