Quality is our top priority
From the very first shuck to your last bite, quality is the heartbeat of Dusty’s Oyster Bar. We source the freshest Gulf oysters daily—raw, baked, or grilled—each prepared with care and a dash of Dusty’s signature flavor. Every plate reflects our commitment to craft, freshness, and authenticity.
Our story
A Journey By the Shore
Dusty’s Oyster Bar began with one simple idea: to create a laid-back seafood spot where locals and visitors felt right at home. Over the years, it grew into a Panama City Beach favorite—an iconic dive-bar vibe, decorated with dollar bills stapled to walls and ceilings, jukebox tunes, and screens playing your favorite games.
We take pride in our go-anytime charm: whether you’re craving a dozen raw oysters, a hearty gumbo, or a buffalo shrimp basket, our menu delivers comfort and deliciousness in every bite.
Our dishes
Obsessed with quality
At Dusty’s, seafood is an experience—rich in flavors and nostalgia. Try our four-variety oyster sampler (Mexi, Rockefeller, Jalapeño-baked, and more), indulgent crab claws, gator bites, smoked tuna dip, or the hearty gumbo that locals can’t stop raving about.
On top of seafood, we serve comfort-food classics like fried shrimp baskets, hush puppies, clam chowder, and scallops—all crafted to be crowd-pleasers.
