Oviedo Oyster House, Oviedo

I grabbed an oyster po boy with fries to go from this new (one month) restaurant on Alafaya Trail yesterday late in the afternoon. It's in the old Bonfire's location near Red Bug Lake. The sign is small and you can drive right past it. The po boy was ok. It seemed like three oysters cut up into thirds. The belly bites seemed fresh. Somehow the coating got sticky within just a few minutes in the closed container. I don't know if they were once crispy. The oysters seemed fresh. They said they were. The usual poor quality bun and veg. No sauce. I bit lame/puny for $18. The fries were half crisp and half not. Not many of those either. I chose steak fries. They had a few choices. The menu is more red neck fish camp than high end seafood bar. They only had Gulf oysters from Texas. They served them mostly cooked. The fish selection was equally low end. That one trash fish that sounds Greek. Mahi. Etc. Things that are probably bought frozen. They might have had some shrimp. Burgers. Apps. Probably some sandwiches. It was a long, one page menu. It was empty. One cook and one bartender. Seems like more of a joint than a food destination. I'm not sure if much had been done to the interior. It's basic. Not sure if connected, open bar area was there before. Parking was adequate. The OOH won't provide you with many of oohs.

*I also tried more dumplings from Kung Fu and ribs from Briskets while I was in the area. Still good.
