Fantastic fare! A cool, casual place to drink&eat fabulous seafood . Atmosphere - great bar , loud , fun! We had fried oysters and grilled scallops . Yum yum yummy! The lobster bisque was delish!
The Blackened Alfredo with Scallops was amazing! But I will warn you that there are only two stalls in the women's restroom and one is extremely small, you have to squeeze in.
The rice balls were amazing , the keylime pie was to die for , and the salad was sooooooooo fresh! Didn’t get a chance to take many pictures lol , to busy feeding my face.
Great place to relax on a warm day. One of the best and most laid-back patios . Good and cheap ! They always have good drink specials and their Gulf oysters are big and cheap as well !
Very. Good. Food. The oysters are ice cold and fresh, the red beans and rice is perfectly seasoned, and the gumbo roux is made just right.
the closest to real New Orleans cuisine that you will find in ATL. biggest and best oysters in town .
I highly recommend the Prince Edward Island mussels from the appetizers . They are shareable for two and good for a date. Sit outside and try to go later - it was REALLY loud ~730 on a Wednesday.
Look for the nightly food special. I like oyster Tuesdays and crab Wednesdays.
This place should be on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. It's the best seafood and oysters you'll find in the city with the most relaxed and casual atmosphere ! Come as you are and don't miss the awesome
Everything! Especially Happy hour 1/2 price starters
This is my go-to for baked oysters and weekly seafood specials.
Try the shrimp po boy and the lobster bisque !
Fried grouper is so delicious!!
Our server, Aaron, was nothing less than da bomb! Super fast service as well ! 4 stars from me!
Amazing! A must go to if you love good seafood & new orleans style cajun food ! Great staff , atmosphere, drinks, and beer !
Sit outside in the back, it's a cool environment. The oyster sampler was awesome!
Good seafood ..awesome outside patio...cool bartenders ...only negative thing is the smoke...cough..cough
Everything we had was great, try everything. We did.
The shrimp tacos and fried gator are delicious!
The oyster stew is delicious, esp on a cold night. Beer specials are always going and the patio is superb!
Nice place. Oysters were on point and so was my dirty Shirley
Go here on Tuesdays for half off raw oysters !
They offer a generous pound of crab legs and the gulf oysters were big!
1/2 off a dozen "From the Raw Bar Oysters " on Tuesdays!!! Only $6! Worth the drive into the city !
You can never go wrong with a dozen oysters !
Chef Ryan Smith eats here on his nights off. He loves the Fontaine's Famous oysters . Read more
the 1/2 price on legs and shrimp was great but the fake butter which was disappointing - crab meat was sweet so I skipped the butter. The bartender Amanda was RUDE (at least to women!)
1/2 Price Peel & Eat Shrimp , Crab Legs and Raw Dozen Oysters (Th-F 4-7pm) Three things that go great with beer and friends. Read more
The crab legs and oysters ! Soooo yummy :)
Tuesday and Friday happy hour special ? Half priced shellfish !! Umm yes please!
Fresh oysters , great beer ... What else do you need?
The Hurricane hurt. Dozen oysters are $16 right now and very puny. OUCH!!!!!!
Food has somewhat declined over the years. During my visit we sat in the bar area and there was a group of Fontaine's employees that were dining prior to their shift they're #LOUD and very unruly. :(
$6 dozen on Tuesday is now $7...still a great deal though.
The hot dog sandwich was amazing!!
$2.50 Sam Adams seasonals all day, every day!
the seasoning on the shrimp is crazy good.
Food is excellent. Oysters and scallops are the best.
The back porch is where you want to sit.
the women's restroom is the worst. Only 2 stalls in the joint, and if you don't get the handicapped stall, just hold your bizness until it is available. The other stall is not worth entering.
$5 for a dozen on Tues
I had the shrimp tacos .
Free WiFi . The SSID is "Fontaine's Oyster House"
Great place. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant .
Tue night...best oysters in town
Crab and Bacon Oysters are awesome!
Get your oysters and lobster bisque here my friends; hang out on the patio , its heated and certainly good times!
The crab and bacon oysters are incredible!
Scampi oysters great
Some of the best lobster soup ....
An institution of The Highlands, Atkins Park serves consistently good food and drinks. My favorite is Sunday lunch on the patio. Crowds can get big on weekend nights. - Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & Associates
Amazing drinks, small plates and live music! Great go-to date night spot. - Eidé
The house-made cheese whiz is really good. Get it with chips, fries, anything! - Jessica E
The buffalo quesadilla is amazing. Highly recommended. - Mary Railey Bartlett
