Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar

First time in, Sophie was attentive and friendly. Key lime shrimp, tuna poke and duck fries delicious. View from top bar priceless over fort walton beach south. We may be back on this trip, if not, definitely in the future.

If you’re looking for the perfect 30A vibe, Shunk Gulley is the place to be. The atmosphere is always lively, and the views are unbeatable, but what really makes this spot stand out is the service at the bar. TJ and Brandon are absolute pros. They provide excellent, fast service even when the place is packed, and they make you feel like a regular the moment you sit down. It’s rare to find bartenders who can balance that kind of speed with such a friendly, welcoming attitude. As for the food—the Oysters Shunk Gulley are a must-try. Perfectly prepared and always fresh. Whether you’re stopping in for a cold drink after the beach or a full meal, this is a 5-star experience every time. Huge thanks to TJ and Brandon for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

We entered this new (to us)restaurant and was seated and greeted immediately. We placed our order with smiling Jamie. Gene started flirting immediately and Jamie had all the right comebacks. After our amazing burger and duck fat fries they were bestie. Definitely on our list of comebacks. Worth the drive.

We went Veteran's Day. It was very slow. But the service was friendly and helpful. Our server was great at helping with suggestions. My friend loves the duckfat fries so always tries to visit. The sweet tea chick basket was very good. I tried the slaw which really didn't have much flavor. I did appreciate it was not mayo based. And the bisque was ok. Not worth $10 for a cup in my opinion - I've had much better. But over all a very good meal.

What a wonderful place to relax. The whole atmosphere was wonderful and food terrific. I got the chargrilled oysters and my wife got the beet salad. Top it off with a 30A blond ale.
