We so enjoyed this establishment both nights we stayed in Cola. We loved the fresh oysters, old bay shrimp and crab legs. Had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Mother Shucker. Such a lovely lady! Can’t wait to share our bottle of cocktail sauce with the bestie on our next oyster night at home. Much love to you all! 🫶 We will be back soon!
Left the Senate with hungry 12yo and the only business to allow him in was The Oyster Bar Columbia. Great staff and family friendly! Recommend to anyone with children.
Great service & food was worth coming back for!
