What alyxzandreaphoenix likes about Oyster House:

We ordered the clam bake for 2 as our main and it was amazing. The seafood is baked in a delicious garlic butter sauce and the portion size was generous. View all feedback.

I keep hoping this place will get better, but no more. It has all the charm of a Denny's crowded, loud, dining hall type place. The food is average at most shrimp bland, just five smallish shrimp laid on a plate (zero presentation) for $17 or so. Crab cake kind of tough, not hot.

read moreOyster House is a popular dining spot in Philadelphia, offering a variety of seafood options. While some visitors have had mixed experiences with the food, others have praised the delicious offerings like the New England Clam Chowder, Maryland Crab Cake, and Sweet Amalia oysters. The atmosphere can be lively and bustling, with a contentious server noted in one review. The prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the dishes seems to be generally well-received. Reservations are recommended due to the restaurant's popularity. Despite some differing opinions, Oyster House seems to be a solid choice for seafood lovers looking to enjoy a meal in Philadelphia.
Excellent bar experience, great service, even better dirty martini. Octopus and lobster roll ?
Oyster house never disappoints! Amazing service, food, cocktails and ambiance. It's my go-to spot for seafood.

On today's episode of "I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet" - Oyster House! Buck-a-shuck alone doesn't make a place special, anymore, really.
