Excellent dry white wine variety to choose from to pair with your lunch or dinner . Friendly staff . Mixed green salad hit the spot as a light, fresh appetizer . Lobster roll and fries are a must

We tried several varieties of oysters , and each were fantastic, standout being the Ninigrets from RI (of course, my home state !). Great apps and sides, my rock cod entree rocked, service was stellar.

(Best of Boston 2013-RAW BAR ) Improper Bostonian says, "Any night at a Barbara Lynch outpost is a night in good hands, and for the mollusk-obsessed, it doesn't get any better."

Mark Roaquin

Get a mix of classic and seasonal everything. The servers know their stuff - ask questions. An awesome bottle list too, perfect for seafood .

Sirus Orndoff

This place takes reservations . The entrance is off the side street. They have a large patio that is for walk ins.

Tasting Table

Try the lobster roll , filled with a healthy helping of Maine lobster meat, bright lemon aioli and finely chopped celery for added crunch. A delicious contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more

Barbara Lynch is probably the best chef in Boston and definitely the most popular. Consider this South End joint her highbrow answer to an East Coast oyster bar .

Daniel Benetti

The hen of the woods is an amazingly balanced dish, on par with courses from the best restos in the world.

Kathy M

Awesome oysters and lobster rolls . Well chosen wine list , but could use a few more Chablis

Donna Yuen

Lobster roll is small and lacks seasoning. Neptune oyster still has the best lobster rolls . Didn't enjoy how the tuna tartar was prepared. Felt like I was eating raw tuna from a bowl of soup .

Imani Hill

This place is truly terrific! try their clams ! it's divine. If you know someone who have a birthday, take them to this place. thy treat you like a star.

Hillary French

Great oyster selection and certainly fresh. Can't go wrong with any of their fried options either. I would not recommend coming here for their entrees, over priced small portions, and mine was cold.

Boston Phoenix

Plenty of local Massachusetts oysters , and many others kinds change day to day - ask your server for oyster recommendations!

Brittany Jobes

Definitely not cheap , but the lobster roll and ceviche were incredible.

This tiny subterranean South End haunt is always electric. The raw bar is chiefly dominated by an incredible oyster selection including numerous East and West coast varieties.

Amy S.

Amazing lobster roll (esp if you are not a mayo fan.) Its simple and spectacular!!

Emily Baer

An absolutely amazing lobster roll and a huge oyster selection !!

Steve Lee

Oysters amazing. Octopus very tender. Great service.

Taisiia I.

Oysters and ceviche . The rest is either deep fried or comes with mayo , French fries and ketchup . A waste of good seafood in my opinion.

CollegeFashionista

You and your parents will die for the lobster roll and raw oysters at B&G Oysters in the South End.

Sit at the bar and watch the chefs cook. Good date spot .
