First time here and definitely won’t be the last. All employees are very friendly. I haven’t had raw oysters in over 15 years. I got 9 Carolina gold and 3 Blackberry. Absolutely delicious. The cocktail sauce and the pickled red onions were great with oysters. We also had the sampler of broiled oysters and they were the best we have ever had. The Tuna small plate was delicious. My wife got the small plate of fried oysters that comes with coleslaw. Best fried oysters we have...

First time here and we had a great experience! We were greeted promptly and seated immediately. Service is top notch here. We ordered several dish’s of oysters and all of them were delicious! Lots of different types of oysters to pick from. Full bar w/ lots of beer choices. There are no tables. It is an oyster bar. The atmosphere is nice and clean. I can’t wait to go back. This place is managed very well. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.
