It is a landmark and I am glad we visited but food is overpriced and service average at best.

Enjoyed the experience - seafood is great, value is ok. Night live outside is fantastic!

excellent!

Wonderful food and service!!
Linda was the best waitress ever!!

Birthday dinner for the wife

Pretty substandard food. Almost everything lacked seasoning or was overcooked. Should have known the food would be more akin to theme park food.

Oyster House was great atmosphere, great food and great Service. We had a reservation for 630 but were in the area earlier and they switched it for us - no problem. highly recommend.

Huge & delicious oysters, and the best we’ve had on vacation. The rest of the meal was just so-so. Prices were high for such a poor presentation of the entrees. My husband had the tasty crab cakes with lukewarm, unseasoned mashed potatoes in a small bowl. It was a sad looking plate. My lobster roll was my third on this New England vacation and ranked a distant third. The fries were good and I think the menu mentioned coleslaw, but it was a no-show. The pickle was actually an unpickled cucumber-strange. The clam chowder was mostly potatoes and came late with the meal after I reminded the server. Overall it was ok for a touristy restaurant, and it had a relaxed ambiance and good, cold beer for the rainy day we were there.

Very good fun and a fun visit for our friends from Arizona.

Food was good but not quite worthy of the price. Service was okay, fairly slow but personable.

I thought the service was excellent-Justice was our server. Staff all very friendly. The food just isn’t very good. Too much butter in everything.

Always a good time at the Oyster House. We have been everytime we visit Boston. Great food!!

Disappointed in this restaurant. Our server was new and she made a mistake on our oyster order. She ordered two dozen instead of 1 dozen. They brought the order to our table and we had already reached for an oyster when it was discovered too many were ordered. Instead of just letting us keep the extra d

Great food

The building itself is cool. That's the highlight...period. The service was terrible and the good was over priced. The best part of the meal was the Boston Creme Pie. I could have skipped the rest.

Small portions for the prices, service was adequate. Won't rush back anytime soon.

Amazing food, good service, good price, I will return to eat more hehe

Best service! Pricey food. But a must for the history and ambiance!

Best service and food that we experienced in Boston!

Food was good a little overpriced and we didn't love the fried meal we ordered but besides that it was good experience. Our waiter was incredibly friendly. THE CHOWDER WAS AMAZING.

Enjoyed coleslaw and the fries. Fish sandwich was quite good, hamburger was slightly tough to chew. It was a good experience.

My favorite restaurant in Boston! Ever since I first dined here back in 1990, I have never been less than totally satisfied--super fresh seafood (such as oyster--my favorite!) and otherwise very tastely prepared seafood dishes! Staffs are very friendly as well.

Everything was great! Clam Chowder, Oysters from Cape Cod and frozen lobster roll were delicious!

The oysters weren’t cleaned and my clams in the chowder had dirt in them.

Always great every time!

We should’ve left after soup but decided to stick it out. Both had fried seafood entrees. Came out rubbery and disgusting. Touristy as ever.

Terrible service and awful food. Very disappointed with our waitress.

Bad service (slow). Put 5 of us in a small booth that only fit 4. One person had to sit on the end with a chair. Expensive for what it was. Tourist trap.

Just average seafood, uncomfortable seating, average service. Prices do not reflect the food quality.

The food offerings were great and everything we had tasted even better. The staff were welcoming and amazing at their jobs. This is a must do while in Boston. Highly recommend reservations.

Delicious corn bread and clam chowder

I have to say I was a little disappointed the food was OK the Cajun scallops and the Cajun fish was way too hot and we were told it wasn’t that hot. The race I came with it was hard and very Bland. The fried clams were good but what a very small portion for a very expensive price for all the dishes. The waitress was amazing so sweet and attentive that’s why I’m giving it three stars.

Ambiance great and historical. Service was crisp and friendly. Food, withe exception of the fried components, was fine. Fried portions of the meal were poor

It’s a classic seafood restaurant with an incredible history. The building has been used continuously as a restaurant since 1826, with the oyster bar dating back about as long. It has a lot of different seating options, inside and out. It has been well maintained and nicely designed. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The cornbread starter is a nice change of pace. Wait staff didn’t tell us what types of oysters were available but we asked on the way out (they were from the Cape Cod area). Ours was a light meal (soup, salad, baked beans)…all items were good but wouldn’t call them outstanding.

What a disappointment this historic place has become! 42 years ago, when I was last here, it was still a pearl. Now it is an expensive greasy spoon.

The place is fun, and it is a tourist attraction that must be visited, but the restaurant is well aware of their historic landmark status. The food is just extremely mediocre seafood that is priced ridiculously high. The calamari were extremely breaded, with barely any calamari in it, and most dishes were plain and uninspired (while still charging $33 per main plate). The highlights were definitely the samuel Adam's beer uniquely made for the oyster house, and the oysters were pretty phenomenal. The servers were lovely people, and our waitress joselynn was super kind and quite funny. All other dishes were just a deep fried mess, or a heavy dish that makes you feel incredibly bloated. Not the place to eat dinner, but instead much better for having a few oysters at the bar while trying the sam Adam's beer. Tourist trap absolutely

Great take before the Bruins game. The oysters and scallops were super fresh and sweet.
Casual, fun, a Boston classic!

Great Service! Overall, very nice!

I'm sure this is a pretty nice restaurant! Great seafood quality.

Fantastic meal! Hadn’t been here in 25 years and it was just as good as I remembered. Love the building too. Wouldn’t be a trip to Boston without eating here.
