They are always clean. Good service. Great food. Awful's is my go to when I'm wanting something but not sure what.

We almost did not go because of the mixed reviews but I was ready for a bar and oysters so we tried it. We had 3 appetizers and raw blue points. All were great. Bartender was working the whole place but took care of us. I thought I should say what our experience was since others have posted so so reviews. Good food and the best Oysters Rockefeller I had had in a long time.

This was our first ever visit and we arrived just as they opened for the day. We remained the only diners, which seemed strange. Our waitress took our drink order quickly after we were seated and we looked thru the menu. My spouse choose the fried oysters and chips with hush puppies, all of which she really enjoyed. I got an order of hush puppies that was beyond plentiful for one and a bowl of clam chowder soup that was pretty good. We shared the crab dip that was nice. We both thought the items that were fried could have been taken out sooner, although the chips for the crab dip were perfect and huge! The restaurant is so much bigger than it appears to be from the outside with a huge pool room and another bar in the back. The main dining room is even bigger with a bar as well. There's outdoor seating too. It's a chill atmosphere. If we visit Roanoke again we'd explore the menu more.
