Fat Boys' BBQ & Oyster Bar - Oyster bar restaurant in Apopka - 464 S Hunt Club Blvd, USA

The food and atmosphere is great here. The employees are super friendly and very attentive. We visited for lunch and the place was not too full as it was later in the day while we were leaving. The food was hot and fresh. The kitchen made our food order quickly. All orders were tasty and perfect. We did not visit the bar area during this visit, but others in the restaurant said that it was great. The desert options are plentiful and freshly made. Our servers were very friendly and helpful, and made sure that we had everything we needed.

Had some terrible BBQ and made some friends! Let's start with the friends comment. I felt like Jeff Goldblum in this place. There were flies everywhere! As you can see from some of my pictures, they were very friendly...and annoying! My biggest concern is the health aspect. If there were that many flies in the eating area, imagine how many there must be in the kitchen with all of the seafood and meat in there. Also, the window ledges looked like they haven't been wiped down in weeks, so dusty! As for the food? This is the first time in my life that I actually had to add salt to BBQ meat. There was simply NO seasoning of any kind to be found. No salt, no pepper, nothing but smoke. The smoke was good though. Although adding some table salt helped with the flavor a bit, there was no helping the texture. I had to drown the brisket in BBQ sauce. This was the driest brisket I've ever had, minus the big chunk of fat that was in the middle. I removed that and moved it over next to my BBQ beans. Speaking of the BBQ beans...they were undercooked. Some might say "al dente", but way too firm for sure. I wasn't a fan of their flavor either. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the flavor was just...off. Same thing with the collard greens, the flavor was off. Maybe an unwanted ingredient, courtesy of the airborne staff? Speaking of staff, our server was super sweet, but she was obviously inexperienced or overwhelmed. I'm assuming the former, because it was today (Sunday afternoon) and the place was almost empty. Not to mention, there was a little snafu with our bill (In our favor) and they tried to serve us a different table's order. All simple mistakes that can happen to anyone of course, but became the icing on the cake of a poor dining experience. Take my advice, try it if you must. But, expect to be disappointed. I predict this place will be out of business by the end of the year if our experience today was any indication of how they continue business. Quite sad. We used to love coming here often when it was Victorio's.

Amazing honey Italian spot! This is their second store location. We had the Louisiana raw oysters which were some of the biggest and fresh oysters we've had in a long time. The calamari was very good as well but a bit smaller on the Portion side compared to other places, but the quality was worth it. The Victorios chicken plate was excellent as well. The combination of sauces were nice together. The thicken was very tender. I imagine all of their chicken meals such as chicken Parm would be the same and I cannot wait to try it! Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and go back again. Thanks!

The staff here are great. The food is ok. Our oysters were just bad, we got a bucket and ate about 8 of them all together. I wouldn't go back for them. The crab wasn't the worst. The shrimp had way too much seasoning. I will definitely stick to the Victorio's in Longwood from now on. I have never been disappointed at that one.

If I could give it zero stars I would. This was the absolute worst BBQ I’ve ever had & the price was way too high for the value of the food given had it tasted well. My husband & I got take-out for lunch. He ordered the sliced pork sandwich & I did the 1/2 lb spare ribs. His sandwich had no taste. My ribs were super smoky & rubbery. Not to mention that a 1/2 lb ribs equates to 2 ribs for a price of $16. Definitely would not recommend this restaurant. On top of this there was not a current menu able to be found online. I found one menu on Facebook but when I called it apparently was old. Unfortunate since this restaurant replaced Victorio’s, which we used to eat quite frequently. Wish we could get Victorios back or have Bubbalous move in here for some good BBQ.

Our last stop before heading to airport to go home. So glad we stopped here! Our super nice waitress/bar tender moved us to the bar area, so we could do the bucket of raw oysters. She shucked them right in front of us. Very good oysters and the grilled gator is a MUST! Best gator we had the whole trip. Ice cold beer and very clean inside.

Good option for something different in Apopka. Food was okay, nothing stellar. Even the calamari were just okay. The place itself was clean, and the customer service was actually really good. Our waitress did a great job being attentive, helpful and quick.

First time at the location and were pleasantly surprise. Clam chowder was just okay could have used more clams imo, house salad was plenty enough for 2 people to share and nicely done. Ordered Oysters Rockefeller which were a great size and done very well. Hubby had a 3 Shrimp combo, shrimp, rice and red potatoes were great, hush puppies were a bit dry unfortunatly. I ordered a Calzone with sausage, mushrooms, onions, green pepper and spinach. Loved every bite including the crust, leftovers for tomorrow. Over all good food, wait staff friendly and knowledgeable. Will be heading back sometime soon!!!
