Is the rest of their food any good at the restaurant?

no

Its strange, Grand Isle always seems to be everyone's favorite at festivals like Oyster Fest and Po Boy Fest, but few locals venture there to eat. I've always had pretty good luck at that location, good raw oysters, those smoked oysters, gumbo, po boys and the like. Awesome onion rings, but its not nearly as popular in its brick and mortar location as it is popping up at festivals.

BO- which one of you did that oyster eating challenge there during the Super Bowl?

My fiancee' cousin is the manager over there. Food is pretty good. I've eaten there a while back and it was ok. Went back to taste dishes to see if we wanted to do our rehearsal dinner there, and it was awesome.

I eat there occasionally, as they have a great happy hour with $2 Andygator pints. The food is expensive for what it is but generally pretty good. Stick to seafood.

I didn't grow up eating those canned smoked oysters.

Best chicken wings I've ever had are smoked then fried. Delicioustastic

I've never been to the restaurant, but the smoked fried oysters at oyster Fest were admittedly a foci rite of mine as well. They were just regular fried oyster( fried perfectly I must add) , with a sauce that had a smokey flavor to it hence the smoked fried oysters
