Nate's Oyster Bar - Slocomb, Alabama

Excellent experience and great customer service ? of the time. The atmosphere is fun. The same staff has worked there for years. Large screen TV's inside. Perfect place to eat, have a drink, and talk. I highly recommend the fried shrimp, crab claws, and any of the salads. Tonight, I had the grilled chicken salad. I love how they don't dump the meat on it. You get to add it.

Had the seafood platter with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The catfish, oysters, shrimp were all fried to perfection. So light and delicately fried onion rings were absolutely delicious. The appetizer of fried crawfish tails were so delicious I could have made a meal out of them alone.
Service was this witty (young?) lady that would refill my tea glass with every sip I'd take. Not complaining about that. She made sure we didn't lack nothing. You never needed to get her attention. She was always there. She made sure our food was served hot. The cook did an awesome job with preparing the food properly cooked. Great Job!
Atmosphere: Likened to a cafeteria. Wide open space with only very large dining tables. Each table with its own personality. Traditional and farmhouse styles. Very unique and interesting. Along the walls were numerous TV and sport memorabilia along with newspaper enlarged pages of history. My wife and I went on a Wednesday late afternoon and was only the second family there. It wasn't long and people were coming in. The secret local spot is out now. We drove all the way down from Ozark AL. just to try this place out. We were not disappointed. Thank you to the owner and staff. Fine job.

Back again and still a 5. Local place. Very reasonable. Fresh-breaded by hand. Not Sysco stuff. Try the sweet potatoes also. Grouper lightly breaded in corn meal so gluten-sensitive option.
Oysters spot on!

Nate’s oysters were baked perfectly today. Superb! The grouper sandwich was massive and delicious… just a light breading.
Servers are always pleasant.
Music brings me back to a better time. It’s the little things. Thx to all!
Only complaint was the A/C was TOO cold today. We won’t be complaining about that in a bit!

My food was really good! But my dad's steak sandwich was undercooked. He just ate most of it because he didn't want to complain. He gave the rest to me and then I cooked it properly.

Absolutely love this local favorite. Granny (server) made my first trip the best and I can't wait to go back just to see her! She was a hoot. The food was perfect and so delicious. I had the fried grouper nuggets & sweet potato. I didn't care for the slaw but that's just my preference. I'm looking forward to my next trip. The inside is a mix of dining room tables and its just neat. You have to try them.

Great seafood platter! Nate's cooks their fried oysters kind of crispy, which seems to enhance the taste of them. Delicious! HUGE Gulf shrimp, the biggest I've ever had on a platter. The fried crawfish as an appetizer were good. Salad bar for house salad is fresh, clean and had the best sweet onions. Onion rings are totally delicious; crisp and perfectly fried!
Nice open atmosphere and the cook's area is open to see. Large family style tables to sit at, which was very comfortable. First time here, so we will be back. Only 4 stars for atmosphere due to the restroom not smelling fresh; had sort of an old pipes odor. Only have 4 stars for the food, which although quite tasty, it's good to season fish and shrimp BEFORE frying for best taste, however it is understandable that some cannot have salt, so it is still on the table, along with hot sauces, tartar and cocktail sauces. We just prefer having it on before cooking, so we'll ask for that next time. Give Nate's a visit! It wasn't busy for a Wednesday and the service is awesome! ?

Don’t let the small town fool you. This is a big city taste. More food than you can eat at good prices. Excellent atomsphere, great service, friendly people. Like coming home to a home cooked meal. Don’t pass it by you will regret it. Can’t say enough about how excellent, first time visit will be back.
