What User likes about The Oyster Shack:
This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. I sampled the best selection of oysters I've possibly had on the entire island and throughout the United States. As a former US Marine with extensive travel experience, I always make it a point to try new places wherever I go. Out of nearly 50 restaurants I've visited, The Oyster Shack has undoubtedly become my favorite. View all feedback.

What Jenny Maurer doesn't like about The Oyster Shack:
Expensive for mediocre food. Served ketchup with oysters, no napkins at table. Listened to several homosexual men call white people and Puerto Ricans inappropriate names. Horrible experience. View all feedback.

The selection of dishes is extensive, and everything tastes amazing! They serve the best mojito in town!

We also ordered a clam casserole, which was quite good, but out of 13 clams, 2 did not open. The clam chowder I ordered never arrived because the cook felt it w...
