J’s Oyster Reviews
We sat outside. The food was good but, after we finished the food, the waitress came up and said if we were done eating. they had a long wait list. We got up without even being able to finish our beers. As soon as the waitress got her tip, she wanted us gone!

J's Oyster is a popular spot known for its seafood dishes, with a classic feel featuring wood-paneled walls. The lobster stew remains a highlight, boasting large chunks of lobster in an unbelievably good broth. The oysters are fresh and considered some of the best around, with the catch of the day offering a great value—a baker's dozen for a decent price. Scallops and steamers also receive praise, with many customers loving the steamers. The restaurant features a friendly, casual atmosphere, making it a perfect place for both locals and visitors. The outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy a beer and eat seafood by the water. The staff is helpful and attentive, ensuring drinks are refilled and guests are comfortable. While the inside can be a bit tight and the wait times may vary, the delicious food, like the lobster roll served with butter and mayo packets, and the welcoming environment make it a great choice for seafood lovers. The chowder is also a hit among diners, adding to the overall experience.
