Griff is the man! Great local spot that always gets it right! Have never had a bad experience.

Best "old school" raw bar I've ever been to! Nothing fancy about it, and the atmosphere, food & employees are awesome. If you want fried seafood, it's not on the menu so go somewhere else.... But if you want to have a great time while eating really good steamed oysters, scallops & shrimp.... This is your kinda place!!

My buddy and I stopped in recently while heading east on a hunting trip, based on the positive reviews. The outer gathering area is basically a bar with some surprisingly good brews on tap. Once you make it into the inner sanctum you're sitting around a fairly small horseshoe facing the shuckers' pit. Wood shavings on the floor are a nice touch. The oysters were as advertised - succulent, flavorful and super fresh. Great no-frills atmosphere and very friendly staff. The only down note were the side "scallops" we ordered. Didn't have much flavor and were suspiciously all exactly the same size, perfectly round with sharp edges. Don't want to say the "P" word (ok, plugs) but hmmm? I'll just chalk this off as a rookie ordering mistake and would definitely return for the oysters which are first rate and obviously the main attraction!

Ok so I didn't not even have a chance to take a picture of the oysters, they were that good! Amazing if u like oysters u need to go that's it. Best raw oysters in an unassuming place, friendly service, good price. Ambiance well just try it for yourself very unique but totally worth it. If you want to avoid the lines come here later in the day during a weekday.

Quality... Cool... Historic... A good first date or a good thousandth date ... Keep it simple stupid

Great place, interesting crowd, small menu but it keeps me busy. Can't wait to go back and get some crab legs. Omg to die for.

If you're patient it's well worth the waiting time. I do not recommend bringing children here it's a very adult atmosphere. There's lots of seating in the waiting area so you can chat and drink. When we were finally seated it was a very awesome experience having a personal oyster-shucker. He was very engaging it was like dinner and a show. There's also lots of hot sauces to choose from including a spicy habanero.

The low down: This place is the real deal. Fro. The outside you'd think it was a run down shack, but there is some seafood goodness inside w crazy low prices! Driving back from the Outer Banks, my boyfriend said there was a small place that a friend told him about that we just had to try. when we pulled up I was surprised at how rundown the building looked and thought there is no way this could be all he claims. I turned to my YELP community only to find out that the hype must be true. When you walk in, there is a huge open waiting area w video games (one of which is Ms.Pac-Man), a pool table and a bar. They don't sell wine by the glass here only by the bottle. You have to give your name if you ever want to be called to the back for food. The amazing ladies that worked the front bar told us that they had just opened two weeks ago and usually there is a bout a 2-3 hr wait. Sunday is their least busy night and when we went at 4:45 there was only about a 30 minute Usually they have 6 shuckers on at a time, but this night they only had 4 so only 27 people could be taken at a time. I got steamed scallops and broccoli and cheese. My boyfriend got 1/2 dozen steamed oysters. Food was cooked to perfection. They shuck the oysters right in front of you, which was really cool. If you've never been here it isn't very clear how the process works and if I could recommend one thing to change it would be to make that more clear. We will most definitely be returning here!
