Oyster was so delicious. I would like to visit here again and eat oysters. Today's oyster was good. The recommended one. Also the atmosphere and the service were nice too.

Picked up some unshucked oysters. Great selection of east coast oysters and even had a west coast oyster that my gf likes. Price for unshucked oysters is the best downtown. Oysters seem fresh in general although we were given 1 rotten oyster.

Excellent oysters, drink options and lobster mac n' cheese. Also very good service including a round of free oysters when they thought we had been waiting too long, which we didn't think we had.

Oysters are Toronto's top option and this should be a five. Unfortunately the rest of the menu falls off so quickly that I can't grade it higher at the price point.If you only get oysters it's a ten.

Great spot for seafood and, of course, oysters. Recent picked up take-out order was handled on a walk in last minute decision being in the area. It was a busy Saturday on Queen st. But the staff and kitchen prepared a great meal and in less than 20 minutes we were on our way. If you've never been. This is a place to try. Reasonable, excellent and staff are friendly and capable.

Went here for dinner last night with a couple of old work friends and it was absolutely incredible. Our server Maddy was such a pleasure to deal with / talk to - she suggested oysters specific to our tastes and then introduced us to her favourite oyster, the St. Simon from New Brunswick. That was such a killer oyster, we couldn't help but love eating it. I also ate the lobster poutine which was awesome.At the end of the night, Rachel and Maddy hooked us up with a couple of oysters that were shucked for a takeout that never showed up. That was the cherry on top of an even more eventful night.

When you come to Oyster Boy ask for Maddy or Rachel! Great service and she recommends the best oysters. If my budget could handle it I would come all the time.

My husband and I attended the Shuck U class. We had a great time. The class was informative and interactive. We were able to shuck 12 of our own oysters. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.I only deducted a star because I found it a bit pricy.
Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed OB sooner - huge negligence on my end as it is easily one of my favourite, if not my favourite, restaurants in the city.They have the best oysters and supply many restaurants in the city with theirs - so why not go straight to the source? The menu in full is great from start to finish with fun specials usually in rotation.They also offer an oyster shucking class called Shuck U, that involves a lesson, a dozen oysters, shucking knife, and a shirt - it’s worth every penny and would make an incredible date.Don’t hesitate: go here. Go here often. I love Adam, Claud, and everyone else.

what surprised me was the other items on the menu, like starters and side dishes. We tried Grilled Squid with Almond Tarator and deep-fried oysters. Absolutely another level of preparing seafood!

Most people pick this place for raw oysters, though there is no doubt that they are one of the best places for that. Also, the friendly staff and service were excellent.

Oysters, seafood chouder, and cevicè were exceptional. Scallops, not so much?The dining area was very loud, but there was a large group next to us.Somehow, our waiter forgot to enter our main courses, and when reminded, they came one hour late? Subsequently, one tiny Creme Brulè was offered for two people on the house.Owner was pleasant but should have offered more based on poor service.I was expecting much more for the price.
