What User likes about Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern:
It took me a long time to finally get this place after it changed hands and was no longer my place for live music and drinks. It sounded like it was going to be full of hipsters and not my scene. I am not a seafood fan so I never felt like I was missing anything. Along comes the Sunday roast dinner and there I found myself with friends. I'll go back for sure. The roast was delicious and good value. Service was great.... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern:
Excellent oysters. The in house ice cream is excellent. Good prices on drinks. Other menu items are not of consistent or relevant quality for the prices charged. View all feedback.

As usual great place. Food was left in the fryer a little longer than needed both chicken sandwich and fries. No biggy just an observation.
Great service great food. Ribs were a little tougher than usual..not fall off the bone. Probably just a one off but it was a little disappointing.

One of my favorite spots for a casual drink or two at the bar. Servers are low key and good at what they do. Tunes are good, food is devine
