Oysters are great are just the location is worth it. The rest of the food is just ok. I had boquerones and had to many mayo. The bar is grea

Be prepared to wait for a table and then consume some of the freshest oysters around. Watching the pros shucking oysters is something magical.

Aside from their oysters, their Caesar salad with anchovy croutons and chowder is amazing!
Mark BurlesonMay 28, 2014
The best clam chowder ever only enhanced by the grilled cheese with pickled veggies. Start with 24 oysters and heaven awaits!!!
Bing ChouSeptember 10, 2012
A line starts to form just before they open - it's worth it to get in line 15 minutes beforehand to get an outdoor table.
Kimi ThorntonJune 4, 2013
Happy Hour $1 oysters from 5-7 on Mon and Thurs - but get there before 4:30 to beat the rush.

Known for their grill cheese sandwich, clam chowder, and oysters of course.

The waitress recommended the grilled oyster with sriracha sauce and it was really delish!
Miguel SojoApril 2, 2015
Super fresh oysters. Get the platter so you can taste all types. The ceviche is amazing
Eric PDecember 18, 2013
They are closing down mid-January 2014 to expand. Will reopen in April. Greg has promised to keep the ambiance and food quality up to its current standards if not, dare I say, it could be even better!

Oysters, mussel and grilled oysters were AMAZING! Worth the wait.

Hog Island Sweetwater > Kumamoto > Sewansecott. Clam chowder = pretty good w/ bread. Cayenne grilled oysters = pretty flavorful.

Amazing food! If you are a seafood lover you should definitely check this place!

The best oysters on the west coast. Well worth the wait. Be sure to ask for cocktail sauce. They make it fresh.
Alyssa MinMarch 11, 2016
Fried oysters + waffles, shrimp + grits, and the fresh oysters are all good choices!
Arthur NemezJune 26, 2017
The best oysters I had ever tried, and claim chowder soup off course🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😋

Happy hour is a good deal but it's only one type of oyster. Come early because there's always a long line for happy hour. Be prepared to splurge.
Angela LiuAugust 11, 2019
Very fresh oysters and brilliant seafood stew
ᴡ LaiJanuary 3, 2015
The grilled oysters are a good option for those who doesn't like raw stuff.
C BayugaDecember 12, 2011
Monday & Thursday, 5:00 - 7:00 pm Oyster Happy Hour/ Chef's choice half priced oyster (selection varies weekly) Not always quite a dollar, but better than full price.
laurent lathieyreJune 29, 2017
Chowder is perfect ; good oysters and they know how to shut them open
Rachel W.June 25, 2014
I'm a lemonade snob and the lemonade is ON POINT here. Easily top 3 I've ever had.
Luke WhiteMarch 13, 2015
The freshness of the oysters and the spectacular make this tourist trap worth every penny.
Larry HozeJanuary 10, 2012
Save room for baked oysters - casino and rockefeller in particular- and jam a piece of bread in there to get the juice. Greg rocks.
Maher JabrJuly 21, 2010
Nice oyster selection (Naked Cowboy from Long Island is awesome) & the clam chowder is a MUST. Make sure you have bread handy with the chowder. Great & friendly service.

Take a short trek north on Highway 1 to the gritty mecca of Bay Area oysters—the Hog Island Marshall Oyster Farm. Read more

This is where oysters of all kinds and sizes pass on to the afterlife

If seafood's not your thing, the grilled cheese sandwich is great.
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013
Split a dozen oysters, get a clam chowder and grilled cheese each for a couple and you have the perfect lunch!
Brant McQuittyMay 12, 2016
Long lines, but great oysters to be enjoyed outside and facing the bay.

Seafood rustic stew - the best of the best ))

There’s always a line, but once you get to@the table in line, you can order a drink
Jen Nunn-IwaiMay 18, 2011
Not a huge oyster fan but their Kusshi was delicious, along with their grilled cheese sandwich & clam chowder. Would definitely recommend to friends.
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 15, 2017
Amazing oysters, citrus salad, and gruyere grilled cheese. Yum!
Brandon M.May 18, 2016
Incredibly long wait but those oysters and that stew. Wow.

Grilled oyster and mussels must be tried. Staff was very friendly 🥖😉
Nicole KukasDecember 31, 2012
Amazing oysters. Grilled cheese was gooey and crunchy. Clam chowder is different but tasty.
Lisa POctober 11, 2011
Sit at the bar, order a dozen and a bottle of moscato with a loved one and while away the afternoon luxuriously
Kelly GrierMay 16, 2014
The ceviche was off the chain...and sweet water oysters - never been so sad to finish a meal!
Tara LounsburyApril 11, 2016
Seafood is great. Awesome selection of oysters. Good wine menu.
Patrick ChamberlainApril 10, 2017
Nikki was great. The rockfish special was cooked perfectly.
Mark KupasrimonkolMarch 18, 2015
Muscadet is a classic French wine/oyster pairing. As an alternative I go for Pacific Golds when Komodos are sold out.
Jennifer BurlingtonAugust 14, 2014
You'll never be able to eat classic clam chowder after getting it here. Soooo good!
Olga VolgaJanuary 7, 2018
Excellent place! Best oysters! Everything is delicious!
Matt SilvermanApril 19, 2016
Strong Bloody Mary game here.
Nick HsslgrvAugust 30, 2016
Classy and delicious. Oysters are some of the finest in the city and the selection is superb. Not inexpensive though. Wait list can pile up, so grab a beverage at the bar before you step in line.
