Old Man Frank's - Oyster bar restaurant in Winter Haven - 1005 Lake Howard Dr SW, USA

Atmosphere was spot on. Live music, on the water, everyone having a great time. Great way to enjoy a Saturday. This was a first visit for us. The oysters were good, the wings were fatty and could have been held down a minute or so longer, not much flavor. Comparable to a chain pizza joint wing, not memorable. The Tater tots same thing, not crispy at all. The garlic must be a liquid which saturated the tots and made them not edible. Online it said they had snow crab but the menu in the restaurant they didn't have them. Staff was absent, never came back to check in and get refills. Had to flag someone down for a refill. By that time food was cold. Would like to give them a second chance. We will see.

Good lunch, but not special. Good variety on menu. Excellent wait staff. Super terrace, except fans can't keep up. We had to move inside. Newly remodeled a couple years ago. Would certainly go back! We had a few beers, hence the over 20 each bill. Can get out with lunch and a drink for under 20. Each. Known for oysters, but not my bag. Went back again yesterday. They had only one waiter, but what a waiter! Best service EVER of anywhere I can recall. Johnnie is da man! He should get a raise! All alone, but he handled everything. Kept coming back. Didn't forget anything. Even got us a fan to wait for the sunset. And did it seemingly, effortlessly. Didn't seem rushed as a busy server sometimes does.

Came here for a little escape from reality with the need to be near the water and it was perfect! Had the Voodoo Juice bucket and Garlic Parmesan Tater Tots because I just wanted a snack. I'm not sure what voodoo they put into these tater tots, but I think I'm in love! They're amazing. Slightly crispy outside and the inside just melts in your mouth like a happy little party. The waitress was super sweet and the whole place seems very laid back. I wish I could stay for sunset over the water, but soon, I will have to get back to reality.

Loved the staff!!!! Jon Jon and vanna are among my favorite!! The bbw wings were absolutely amazing and came out in no time at all! The garlic Parmesan wings were my absolute favorite!!!! I'm definitely a regular at this point!! And I will be back sooner than later.

What a yummy lunch in a casual but beautiful setting. I wish we lived closer. Boiled peanuts were fantastic, along with the fish dip, raw oysters and cold beer!

This is a great spot for rustic, waterfront dining. The inside is a somewhat dark bar, but the open air patio and dock offer excellent waterfront options. It is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset, overlooking the lake. We had oysters on the half shell, wings, and mahi tacos. Everything was very good. The service was pretty slow, but that gave us more time to enjoy the lake and sunset.

This is a small local place. Not fancy on the outside, but we sat on the covered dock on the water. Very local and friendly atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful. Peel and Eat shrimp were freh and great! Traditional wings were fantastic! Daughter said crawfish were very good. Definitely glad we decided to stop and eat!

Great place if you are in the area you need to stop by and enjoy the oysters.
