Food was EXCELLENT! Service was EXCELLENT! Great place for oysters ; happy hour every day 3-6. Small place but amazing for dinner and just casual hanging out.

Bethany Culp

If you have never tried raw oysters and have the itch to do so, this is the best place to do it! I always say, "if it's in the title of the restaurant , that's what you order."

Cindy, Realtor

I think they are probably known for their happy hour oyster which is $7 for a dozen. It comes out super fast like a minute or two. Highly recommended!

Sofia Figueroa

$7 oyster dozens for happy hour 3-6pm everyday. Chill bar with outdoor seating and drink specials everyday!

Atmosphere is great and good music . But oysters are shucked in the am and sit on ice all day. Much better oysters elsewhere.
