42nd Street Oyster Bar

Everything is good. Get reservations . Some of the best and freshest seafood I have ever had. Oysters are fresh and God with a wide array of choices. Shrimp , scallops and tuna -amazing.

The shrimp and grits are beyond good! They have a variety of raw baked and fried oysters for any level of oyster eater to enjoy.

Raleigh's Best Seafood Restaurant . Seafood bisque is amazing. Crab and artichoke dip is outstanding. Oysters Rockefeller are off the hook (pardon the pun). And that's just appetizers . Great beers

Great place for us over 40 people to go to grab a drink and be thrust back to the 80's! One of my favorite places in NC for a weekday drink!

Wine list is great, but I decided to try local US wine - was not that much happy with my choice

Great table by the Oyster Bar . Service was quick and friendly . We had steamed oysters and shrimp which was all delicious.

Counter service extraordinaire! Freshly shucked oysters and crab cakes to due for - love it :)

New England clam chowder , 42nd Street plate with swordfish , salad with balsamic.

Best Seafood in the Triangle! A little pricey , but in my opinion, it's worth it!

loved the 42nd baked oysters ! awesome ambience and great service

I love the cheese potatoes and salads . (coming from a vegetarian !)

Great seafood place. Menu and service is great. The apple pie is to die for. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Best steamed oysters around. And that cheese potato ... I could eat about 8.

Oysters , crablegs, filet, cocktails , atmosphere

Go to 42nd St. and sit at the bar to order a peck of steamed oysters . Don't forget to order the cheese potato , too. Oysters are shucked in front of you. Good stuff. Read more

Get the backened Salmon or the Cajun Fried Catfish , you will luv'em both!!

$.50 oysters at happy hour if you sit in the lounge area !

Steamed oysters were under done and seemed too reliant on toppings.

Make sure to make reservations if heading there Saturday nights. Friday nights are a little less important.

I liked baked oysters , especially Rockefellers

May be one of the best places in the Carolinas!

The cioppino I ordered was made to perfection!

The cajun fried oysters will slap you and perk you up. They are soooo... good. And if you're a collards fan, they know how to cook em up here. Read more
