On the last Friday before Good Friday a few of us at work decided to walk down to Market Square to Oyster House for lunch. Perfect day for a stroll. Now confession, this wasn't my first time here. About 7 years ago a buddy of mine and I were walking through Market Square when a big hailstorm hit and we ducked in here to escape. He hates seafood but I love it! We waited it out on the bar side with a few beers and I grabbed Clam Strips. Good stuff from what I remember!
Jump to today...I didn't even know there was another side to this place! The Bar side was full so we went one door over and there was still some seating open but a decent line was forming around 11:30a. It didn't take too long to get through but you could tell the cashiers and cooks were overwhelmed. They did the best they could. Totally worth the wait to get the CodFather Sandwich Plater that came with Onion Rings, Slaw and a Drink for just over $13 bucks.
The fish was excellent! The light and fluffy batter was different in a good way. And the slaw was some of the best I've had. Onion Rings were so so. I'd probably just get fries or something else next time. I will definitely be back now to try other items!
I also love the history and decor here. It oozes out of this place. From the pictures on the walls to the frame newspaper articles, you know this place is something special. It may not look the best, but I assure you every imperfection most likely has a story.
