Pacific Star Restaurant & Oyster Bar

13507 N. Hwy 183, 219-5373

Sun-Thu, 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat, 11am-11pm

Pacific Star has an even mix of fried vs. broiled and a large palette of choices and combos. You’ll find the oxymoronic jumbo shrimp in all categories, as well as platters, po-boys, and crawdad pirogues. Look for changing specials like fried calamari and soft-shell crabs. The perfect spot for seafood with a slightly Cajun lilt at very reasonable prices.
