Wintzell's Oyster House

Wintzell's Oyster House Wintzell's proudly celebrates its 88th year as a dining landmark, known far and wide for its oysters — "fried, stewed or n**e."

From Wintzell’s homemade recipes to its lineup of veteran team members who live for southern hospitality, to its community-driven focus, right down to its famed oyster eating contest, the brand continues to appropriate a remarkably unique style that salutes the founder's entrepreneurship, civic participation, and spirited personality.

As seen on our walls:
"The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day you're off it."

We're just doing our part to make that second day a little sweeter.
