The Back Porch oysters are amazing!! We tried the shrimp balls which were added on this year and those were very good as well. The Back Porch stuffed shrimp are always a go to when we go. They give you plenty and they are better the next day rewarmed and eaten at your condo.

It looked very full when we pulled up but we were seated immediately after waking in. They should be able to accommodate a party of 6 pretty easily but it wouldn't hurt to call ahead to find out wait time.
