If youâre searching for one of Lake Countyâs best hidden seafood gems, look no further than The Troff Oyster Bar in Eustis. Known for its casual, coastal charm and freshly prepared oysters, The Troff strikes that perfect balance between laid-back local hangout and destination dining for oyster lovers.
My recent visitâshared among six guestsâserved as a perfect reminder of why this spot continues to draw both regulars and first-time adventurers.
đŠȘ The Star of the Night: Cajun Grilled Oysters
The highlight of the meal, without question, was the dozen Cajun grilled oystersâa specialty that showcases exactly what makes The Troff an oyster bar worth talking about.
These oysters arrived beautifully seasoned, smoky from the grill, bubbling with flavor, and still tender. The Cajun seasoning added a bold, savory heat that complemented rather than overpowered the briny richness of the oysters. They were the kind of oysters that make you pause mid-bite and say, âOh wowâthese are incredible.â
Plenty of places offer oysters, but few prepare them with this level of care and balance.
đœïž A Feast Beyond the Shells
While the oysters stole the spotlight, the rest of the dinner was a comforting, hearty spread:
đ„€ Drinks
Diet Coke & Mr. Pibb Bottle Bucket & Michelob Ultra Perfect accompanimentsâcold, refreshing, and generous for a group setting.
đ Wing Favorites
10-Wing Special with Mild & Garlic Parmesan Crispy and well-seasoned, especially the garlic parmesan, which paired surprisingly well with the oysters.
đ Italian Chicken Dinner
Served with fries and hushpuppies, this dish offered warmth and heartiness, balancing out the seafood elements of the meal beautifully.
đź Cheese Quesadilla with Steak Add-On
A melty, satisfying plate with steak pieces that added richness and depth.
Plus extra fries, ranch, salsa, and sour cream, because no big table is complete without shareable sides.
đ Service & Atmosphere
Our server, Laurie L, took excellent care of the tableâquick refills, fast delivery, and plenty of friendly attention despite the bustling evening crowd.
The Troff maintains that unmistakable oyster bar feel:
Coastal décor Laid-back regulars The aroma of fresh shellfish and the sizzle of the grill A bar that always feels welcoming
Itâs the kind of place where seafood lovers feel at home the moment they walk in.
