A word from Doc Magrogan's Oyster House

A West Chester institution is born! In the late 1800's and the 1900's, there were more than a dozen places to enjoy oysters in West Chester. As we developed our classic 1900's Oyster House, we strived to pay tribute & homage to the great tradition of enjoying little aphrodisiacs. We have spared… no expense to create an Oyster House that transforms you back to a simpler time of food, fun & merriment in a local oyster house. At Doc's our mission is to provide an exceptional seafood & raw bar experience for our guests & exceed their expectations for quality & service in a warm, vintage environment. It is our joy to serve you the freshest seafood, the finest handcrafted beers & a superior wine selection! We hope you enjoy our addition to beautiful downtown West Chester.Continued

"We had an open table reservation for 4 at 6pm. Two additional friends joined us and when we arrived asked for a table for 6 instead of 4. Originally I had asked for a quiet table where we could talk or a table upstairs. We were told NO to adding two additional guests to our reservation. They said the only place we could sit was out back at the picnic tables, where they put all of us at a small table. We were cramped and asked the waitress who was very nice, if we could bring a smaller table over to give us more room. She immediately suggested a larger picnic table which was so much better. Now why couldn't the hostess have given us that table to begin with? Very embarrased in front of my guests by the way the hostess treated us."

"Honestly, the food was overpriced. I had a $7.99 salad that was all but a handful of spring mix and a few sliced cucumbers. Very little content, big price."

"Great Oyster house. Kids loved their lobster rolls! We sat upstairs, which has an awesome vibe to it - away from the noise of downstairs, which was perfect since this was a family get-together. But both upstairs and downstairs are awesome. Can't wait to return."
