The Ponderosa Oyster Bar & Grill

Ok so we came back and tried this place again. Worse than the 1st time!! They are literally only open 4 days a week and they are out of fish, oysters, crab cakes and KETCHUP! Like who doesn't keep enough ketchup? Maybe the YOUNG girl that looked about 15 that was filling out the order sheet!! This place needs a serious overhaul! There is a reason it's been empty both times I came here!! We ended up ordering burgers and they were dry and no flavor!! The food and atmosphere aren't good enough to ever come back again. Well we tried!

Bill was 38$ i got the half and half shrimp and fish (5shrimp) (1fish) and fry's along with 2 beers shrimp weren't too bad but the fish tasted cheap and frozen(tilapia) I also ordered 6 raw oysters witch I cancelled the order due to it taking them around 1.5 hours to get to me. over all wouldn't recommend this place good environment just not worth that price for what you get

Life is Good at The Ponderosa!Drove down from New Orleans with a large group this weekend. Cold beer, good drinks and the freshest oysters and seafood you can imagine. But what else would you expect when you're dockside at the marina.Freshly shucked oysters opened at the Oyster Bar, Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell, Fried Oysters to go with our Onion Rings, and fried Softshell Shrimp!But as good as the food was, the service was better: and the food Was Good! There were other large tables and plenty 2 and 4 tops, but the food and drinks flowed on and off our table. Looking forward to my next trip Down River to The Ponderosa...

Disappointed- ordered sliders and they were burned to a crisp. Took all the juice out of them!!!!No followup fr waitress - didn't even ask how food was so couldn't tell her. Never checked on us at all.

This was an off night. There were no oysters. We were there for two and a half hours and there was plenty of "staff" there it shouldn't have taken so long. We sat at a table immediately and the service was just bad. The $20 crab claw appetizer was also really bad. I have heard only good things about the place, so I think this must have just been a really bad night. I ended up getting my meal to go from somewhere else.

Some of the best food south Of New orleans, always fresh. chargrilled oysters are . Lived in point celeste until the lng plant bought me out. I come to visit and fish about once a month and always make sure to stop at the ponderosa.

This place is great the food is always great! They have specials on drinks and food. The restaurant overlooks the marina and is so beautiful in the evening. I love their fried oyster trio it's my favorite. The service is great and pick up orders always has everything I need before I arrive.
