The Oyster House
“Damn Yankees”
Coming from the north, Mr and Mrs Miller or, “Poppa Bob” and “Miss Patti” as they are now affectionately known as, had to overcome the fact that the locals saw them as “Damn Yankees”. Not an easy task, but one that would would ultimately make them trusted family friends.
The Millers went on to continue the legendary, Old Florida dining experiences that attracted tourists from across the globe. Commonly referred to as “Florida’s Last Frontier’, Everglades City was a trip back in time, a city built of
hard work in the hot sun from burly crabbers and salty sea captains – some of which suffered from the smuggler’s blues. The Oyster House was where everyone, locals and visitors came to eat, drink and be merry.
In recent years, two of the Miller children, James and Jillian had begun to take the helm with bright ideas and clear visions of new directions for their family business. Even greater success seemed imminent.



Then Came Hurricane Irma…
But, as “Miss Patty” says, “Out of something bad, something good will come.”
and so, a star is born. An oySTAR….
