Briggs Oyster Company

"Food was good, the service was absolutely terrible. We had Jonathan as our server. My step dad asked if they had smaller bowls of clam chowder, and Jonathan said they only have one size and it can be split. My step dad was asking if anyone wanted to share with him, and I was only getting the clam chowder so I told my step dad I was hoping to get my own bowl because it was the only thing I was ordering. At this point, Jonathan rudely interjected and said “Well it’s a big bowl.” I shouldn’t have to explain myself for wanting my own bowl of clam chowder, especially when I was speaking to my family and not him in that moment. As we continued to eat, my parents asked for some extra of the brown oat rolls (they have a variety of rolls and they liked those the best). To this Jonathan responded, “Finish what you have first.” When they said they were hoping to get the brown rolls specifically, he pointed to the different type of roll and said “You have two more right there.” He left without saying anything and then returned a few minutes later with a basket of the rolls they wanted and plopped them on the table without saying anything. It’s fine if that’s the rule, but don’t treat your customers like they’re children. Not to mention he walked by our table multiple times to check on other tables, only rarely stopping by ours. This place has always been one of my favorites, but the food is not worth having a the terrible service."

"Very tasty fresh oysters. Good sushi rolls. Great service. Excellent seafood ceviche. Nice comfortable atmosphere. A nice little bread basket was served before our meal. Fun place!"

"We stopped in yesterday and are still talking about our meal today! JonathanL never made us ask for refills, condiments or napkins. We eat at the stations bbuutt this service at Briggs was superior. Chef made us special order clams and the sushi rice was fresh. The pan toast that was suggested to us - 5 stars ! Glad we took the recommendation."

"So this place is inside Suncoast hotel & casino. They often have a $1 oyster promo on Thursday's. Husband and I also tried one of the sushi rolls and the lobster mac & cheese. We were offered bread & butter while our food was being prepared... Cute place with foodie decor.... The staff was nice & attentive. The food was ok but not my go to choice for oysters or sushi. Just well enough if you were staying as a hotel guest..."

"This place was fantastic. My wife and I came here on a whim after hanging out at Boca Park because we were just going to try a random restaurant in the Sun Coast casino since they have a few new ones. It was a great find. We got clams, oysters, gumbo and some shrimp and crab pasta. Everything was very well made. I want to come back and try the Lobster Roll too. Even the fish and chips looked good. We sat right at the bar so we got ro see the chef cool right in front of us. Makes your mouth water."
