Update 5/16/24: Had a delicious lunch with my mother. I tried the clam chowder for the first time, it was boiling hot and served with crackers, I enjoyed it. Ordered a full plate of shrimp (12) with french fries, amazing as always!_________________________________________ Excellent seafood restaurant, our meals always come out hot and are quickly served. They have great lunch specials, half and order of shrimp or fish with fries or baked potatoe, and a tea.

In spite of the difficulty in finding parking due to construction projects in the area, it s worth checking out this historic seafood eatery that is still family-owned after 73 years and 4 generations. Clean, neat, and tidy, with great food served by pleasant & attentive staff. Note: This is THE original Oyster Bar in the Brownsville area, and I remember being brought here by my mother in the 1960 s, and it offered great seafood and was well-managed back then, too!

Food was way overpriced and just not good. The fried oysters had a thick breading with tiny a tiny oyster. The buns were packaged. There was only one choice of dressing for the lettuce and one slice of tomato. So disappointing, not good, left hungry and an empty pocket. I hate when a restaurant doesnt serve real butter, thats a sign of lack of quality.

I gave them a 4star because I paid for my plate and beverage for almost $22. Fillet of fish, shrimp and baked potato were on the plate along with a cold salad. For the price I paid I feel that the salad should be on a separate plate because it is cold and might have some water from the lettuce that will run to the hot items on the plate which it did.

Food was awful ! We ordered oysters and they were awful ! Don t get me wrong I love oyesters raw or breaded but this was exaggerated! Super wet and I chewed on something hard ! They then brought us fish and omg it was raw ! I think the chef was upset or something . We have been going to the oyster bar for years and the food use to be delicious! I paid almost $50 bucks for raw and awful tasting food ! Basically just ate the salad . I not a picky person at all I can eating and everything but noooooooooooo!
