One of our favorite spots for oysters ! Be a high roller and get the Raw Bar Sampler or hit them up at Happy Hour for $1 Oysters and cheap drinks ! Don't miss the Snapper soup , a Philly Classic.
The clam chowder is the best I've tasted yet on the East Coast. The $1 oysters and $5 Kelly's punch is worth the Happy Hour crowd.
Sorry if I cannot find right words to describe our lunch experience at this beautiful restaurant . Everything we ordered that day was great! Definitely a must go if u are in the area.
We ordered the tilefish, trout and flounder and in all honesty all were really really really good! Pecan-walnut pie was fantastic and service was spot on! 12/10 for me (and not expensive !)
it was simply the best oyster of my life, better than in Europe! the octopus and te calamari was also delicious. the wine was overpriced though.
This Center City Philly mainstay specializes in expertly shucked East and West Coast oysters , updated seafood house classics and sharp craft cocktails .
Buck a shuck oysters and the scallop appetizer were fantastic! The New England clam chowder and Kelly’s Punch are as reputed — not to be missed!
Was CRAZY packed but totally worth it for the delicious oysters we had. Seem to have great Happy Hour specials throughout the week, too!
Shellfish rarely goes on sale (and do you even want it to?), but this seafood spot’s Monday-thru-Friday buck-a-shuck happy hour ($1 select oysters , $3 select draft beer , from 5 to 7 p.m.) is great. Read more
Miss the crowd by dining at Saturday brunch . The menu changes regularly, but the impeccable service and the sweet, meaty lobster roll always stay the same.
Great selection of East Coast oysters . And if you don't mind getting your hands dirty , order the U Peel Shrimp . Tasty and it's enough to share!
Baby octobus was amasing And if you like raw food you must try oyster And lobster
Snapper soup , fresh lobster roll and home made ginger beer made for an excellent dinner . Great place
Loved it. Cocktails are amazing and great selection of raw shellfish . Turtle soup could use more turtle meat tho.
Clam bake for 2 is more than enough for 3-4, and includes a whole lobster . Great value at $96
Anyplace that has a jar of horseradish on the table is good by me. They also have homemade crackers
This Friday, the 21st, Oyster House is offering $5 to-go cups of the famed creamy, potato-y New England clam chowder , outside the restaurant from 11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Read more
Delightful place, yummy roasted oysters and the best Manhattan I've ever had (must be their house-made vermouth .)
During the week from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9-11pm get buck-a-shuck oysters , $3 draft specials, $3 oyster shooters and $5 cocktails . Read more
BBQ oysters are so smoky and buttery. Delicious. Smoking ember accompanies your plate of four.
Scallops ceviche - must try. Sooo good and unusual! Fisherman stew is also very good.
Hands down the best happy hour in Center City . Three dollar drafts and dollar oysters . Plus a free oyster when you check in!
BBQ grilled oysters are awesome. I always get the clam chowder and fill up with oyster crackers
$1 oysters in Saturday's 9PM-11PM. Get there early to grab a seat. $1 oysters M-F from 5PM-7PM.
The best place for oysters in Philadelphia. Seafood is very good.
Reverse happy hour Saturday nights! 9-11pm buck a shuck oysters
Food was Great! But never got any of the specials when i checked in even after my server confirmed it. Still good though just give your customers what you offer!
Love love love this place. Been coming for years. A buck a Schuck! No need to waste ur $$$ on their expensive oysters . Try the octopus - yum!
Don't have a clue what to order? How about the authentically Yankee lobster roll or the meaty, filler-free crabcake ? They are both outstanding. Read more
Offering consistent, authentic fish-house classics, with casual nods to Asian and contemporary flavors. Read more
great "one buck chuck" oyster happy hour , and there's a lobster special during the summer 1x/wk.
The Well Fleet oysters are amazing. They have the right balance of salty and sweet.
Oysters were shucked to perfection and the drinks were amazing!
Yards Love Stout + one awesome oyster bar = delicious! Great Oysters and the Lobster Roll was so tasty!
There's no time at Oyster House like happy hour . Head in for $3 beers and dollar oysters , six days a week.
The oyster crackers are enormous. Keep a few in your purse to carboload late night ;)
Friendly , attentive service . Pricy but tasty. Dinner with oysters , drinks, apps for two $150.
Love the Oyster stout . It's like drinking adult chocolate milkshakes .
We had a nice range of 18 oysters . Succulent and fresh!
Cool vibe, with solid oysters . The buck-a-shuck is a must.
Lobster rolls are very freshly made & taste great
Best revival of 2010. Sam Mink, grandson of the original Mink, reworked the menu, and brought light to a space that had clung to its dark, wood-paneled decor. Read more

Try the Lobster Roll ! The best I have had outside of Maine!!! The oysters are of course a staple here.
Always a fantastic selection of extremely fresh oysters .
The NE clam chowder is great. I also liked the bread pudding for dessert . The clams casino are tasty but on the smallish side.
When u come to Phillie u must experience The Oyster House!
You MUST try the chihuahua oyster shooters ! Freakin yum!
Come on Sunday for their five-course menu tasting. I recommend making a reservation since they only seat the restaurant twice at 5:30pm and 8pm. You won't be disappointed! - Nicole Saenz
