Wintzell's Oyster House

We waited 14 minutes for someone to take our drink order and finally received drinks. After ordering our meals and appetizers we sat for 56 minutes with empty cups and never once was checked on. We never saw our waitress on the floor during this time. Eventually she showed back up and we were able to flag her down and ask for refills and get one of the two appetizers— no plates or silverware though. Our food finally arrived but we did not receive all of our entrees. We were missing several items/side dishes and some of the food was never put into the kitchen order system. Once the final meal arrived it was burnt. I requested a manager and was confronted with a rude individual that never once took ownership of any of the issues or empathetic to say the least. Needless to say— by far the WOR

I rarely write real time reviews but let me tell you how great this place is! Located in downtown near several hotels if you’re staying in one. Greeted by the sweetest and funniest gentleman at the door. His jokes and one liners are A-1! We were sat pretty quickly since we got there early enough. Server, the tall guy with the long ponytail, was just as awesome. Great decor all over the walls. Food came out piping hot and clearly cooked to order. We tasted each others food and couldn’t find any faults. Catfish was fried to a perfect golden brown. Dessert was just as good! Cannot wait to be in MGM again. RUN, to this place as fast as you can! Love love LOVE it here!

I visited Wintzell's Oyster House twice on Jan 8, 2026. The first time was in the afternoon for late lunch, and the second time was in the evening in an attempt to order takeout. I didn't get the takeout because no one came around to take my order. First things first, the dine-in experience. I entered the restaurant at 2:52pm. There was no one at the front desk. A bartender at bar counter 1 saw me waiting but didn't respond to me until about two minutes later. Then a staffer led me to the dining area located by bar counter 2. I sat at the table next to an AC outlet so that I could charge my phone. Tyshun came with a menu. I asked for water. He asked if I wanted a lemon on it. I replied affirmatively. When he returned, I asked about the fish in the Half & Half entree. Tyshun said it was

We were sat quickly but we waited about 15min before our server showed up. I will say that once she did, she was very friendly. I would have scored the food better but for the price point, the oysters were tiny. I had the surf and turf. My ribeye steak was decent but the grilled shrimp was slightly over cooked. My girlfriend had the Seafood Alfredo and it was 5 star in flavor but the seafood was tiny and the portions were a bit small. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I'd spend my money there again.

The food was really good. The atmosphere was right on point. I would highly recommend the seafood pasta all the way. The sauce is very good and they know how to keep it eatable and not super hot. I would definitely recommend them again. I'm going to check out the oysters next time.
