I highly recommend this place. The food is always good and the staff is friendly. You don't wait long at all after you order. Also, the coffee is extremely hot, which makes me slow down and enjoy myself. The staff is friendly and the owner is nice, making the ultimate stop in Redding terminal!

Food was terrible! My roasted oysters tasted old, burnt and unseasoned. Didn’t get a picture because I sent them right back. Shrimp and grits and eggs were okay, but not the best. Definitely needs more flavor. Customer service was great! My waiter was really nice, definitely wouldn’t return.

Amazing breakfast & I’m a breakfast girl. The grits were hot, bacon cooked perfectly and the eggs were REAL. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and he said it was 10/10. I would recommend this location to my colleagues & friends.

If you're craving fresh oysters or a classic seafood platter, this spot always delivers. The no-frills vibe just lets you focus on the great food.

This place is super easy to locate, spacious, offer bar seating and table seating, great breakfast, Lunch, and seafood selection.
Once you order, your food is typically ready within 10 minutes.
Service ranges from stellar to ahh.
I've surely had more stellar visits than lack luster.
My go to meal is the breakfast potatoes, and bacon. I'm gonna graduate to the Shrimp platter soon.
I normally arrive in the morning when visiting PA, so I automatically crave breakfast.
I'll continue to recommend, and support this business.

By far the best friend shrimp I’ve ever had. Everyone in the kitchen seems super happy alluding to what I can observe as a good work environment.

Mixed Experience with Fish and Chips at Reading Terminal Market
During my recent visit to Reading Terminal Market, I decided to try the fish and chips at one of the seafood vendors. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the location offered a unique dining experience with a view of the bustling street outside.
The server was attentive and friendly, managing the busy environment with a genuine smile and prompt service. Her professionalism added a positive touch to our meal.
As for the food, the fries were decent but lacked the crispiness that I typically enjoy in a classic fish and chips dish.They were acceptable but didn't stand out.
The fish portion was notably small considering the price point. Moreover, it was quite greasy, suggesting it hadn't been drained properly after frying. The batter lacked seasoning, making the overall flavor rather bland. It seemed as though the fish had been fried without much attention to enhancing its taste.
In summary, while the service and ambiance were commendable, the fish and chips fell short of expectations. With some adjustments to portion size, oil management, and seasoning, this dish could be significantly improved.

We’ve been here a couple of times and always enjoy it. Our favorite dish is the raw oysters they are fresh, clean, and delicious. The other food we tried was okay. My kids really liked the waffles, though they were very sweet with lots of sugar. Overall, a solid spot with great oysters.

Didn’t expect to have breakfast at an oyster bar but glad we did. The food was pretty good. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. Very tasty and seasoned well. I went with the crab cake Benedict and it was very good. The home fries /breakfast potatoes were okay. I prefer a little more crunchy and more onions and seasoning but they were okay. Definitely will be back again. Our server was sweet and very nice.

Oysters were a little on the small side for the price. The deviled eggs were very good
