    Our waiter, Jeff, is the best!!! So are the lemon drop martinis, sweet potatoes, wedge salad, lobster ravioli and peanut butter pie. Every time we are in the area, we make reservations to visit and will continue to do so!

    Oyster Rock is our favorite location in Calabash. Food is delicious, atmosphere is friendly and the staff are wonderful, especially Ms. Jessie and Ms. Lawanda. Highly recommend Oyster Rock for their seafood as well as their pork chops!
