$1 dollar oysters for happy hour. PURE GENIUS!
With the help of my fellow yelpers, I decided to get my oyster fix here at PJ Clarkes. I was always very leery of eating oysters here in Vegas for obvious reasons but I knew that good oysters did exist in this town and it's just a matter of finding them.
So when I stumbled upon reviews for this place, I knew I had to try it out. If they were bad, at least they where only a buck a piece.
I can't help but make the analogy that these $1 oysters are like the equivalent to dudes getting free drink tickets for a strip club. You're lured in by the fact that something is practically free. You scope out the place with the intention of spending the minimum amount of money because you wanna get the most bang for your buck (pun intended) and before you know it, you're popping bottles of champagne. Which is exactly what my sister and I ended up doing. Lack of willpower even though our server wasn't even doing any up selling whatsoever. It sells itself that's why this is PURE GENIUS.
Anyhow, the oysters were excellent! My sister and I had 2 dozen each with champagne, of course. since we were pretty hungry going in, we decided to order a few other items:
Calamari: served with hot peppers, which was the first time I've had them that way and they were mighty tasty. Gone in 60 seconds.
French dip sandwich: TOTAL SHOW STEALER!! The best I've ever had and I had zero expectations when i ordered it. I just wanted some land-animal protein to switch it up a bit and to my pleasant surprise, this was the best French dip sandwich ever! It's always hit and miss with those things and I gave up on trying to find good ones. This one came to me and it blew my mind cuz I was coming in here for oysters. I will come back just for this sandwich alone.
Crab cakes: meh, pretty standard. Not enough filler ingredients to help out the bland
taste of the crab meat. It also made the texture a lil too mushy.
So final check came out to be $180 for 2 chicks that came in with the intention of stretching our dollars on some cheap HH oysters. But it's all good cuz we left with big smiles on our faces and our hair tousled up a bit which meant good times had by all.
