*HIGHLY RECOMMEND*
5 stars just for oysters
If you’re craving oysters, this is the place for you! Out of the few places in Philly that I’ve had oysters, I have to say Oyster House has the best. Half the place is bar seating where you can see the chefs shuck the fresh oysters in front of you. They clean the oysters really well, barely any sand/dirt left. The best part is the $2 oysters during happy hours. My friends and I can each eat a whole dozen by ourselves because it’s that good!! I love the vinegar it comes with! And if you like spice, I highly recommend asking for hot sauce, it’s a game changer! Besides oysters, they have other seafood/platters but they’re pricey. Their mussels and scallops are decent, but not sure if it’s worth the price. I think I’ll just stick to their oysters at this place!
*VERDICT*
Definitely would come again during happy hour whenever I’m craving oysters!!

Really miss old days when oyster was $1 at the happy hour. Foods are still great, oysters are fresh and delicious. The only thing changed is that they become more expensive and the only thing didn't change is that I am still poor.

Everything here was delicious! The lobster roll looks small but is actually quite full of lobster and the taste is really simple and focused on the lobster.
We had the happy hour oysters and also some clams--so good!
The only thing we wouldn't recommend as much is the clam chowder--it was just okay and not that full of clams.

Some of the best Oysters I’ve ever had! The service was excellent. Totally worth a day trip if you don’t live in Philly. The grilled octopus was excellent! Really enjoyed this! Definitely will be back!

The atmosphere and food here are great! Outstanding selection of raw seafood and fresh, cooked meals. Delicious cocktails and fun ambiance. Downsides are that you are sitting extremely close to your neighboring table and the service felt almost rushed, which bordered on nuisance. Overall, a good experience

My husband loves oysters so we came here for their happy hour. They've got $2 oysters, $7 rum punch and $4 beers. There are also some shrimp sliders on the menu, but we didn't get them. We loved the food!

Simply put, the best oysters I have ever eaten. I’ve had Wellfleet, Naked Cowboy, and Mystics before, but never this fresh and expertly shucked. Bright, clean, and accompanied by only the essentials (lemon, cocktail, mignonette), this was an unforgettable meal. The New England chowder, arugula salad, and lemon meringue tart were outstanding as well. Even the conversation about Chicago bike infrastructure with my cycling enthusiast server was a pleasure. This is now my spot for future visits to Philly.

Some of the best oysters I’ve ever eaten! I had to place a 2nd order they were that good! Their food was delicious and service was great. However, their oysters stole the show. Will definitely make another trip into the city just for those amazingly fresh oysters!

Since I was in from Chicago, I decided to meet a few friends here for food - drink- and good times. This place didn't disappoint. The food was amazing. Everything was packed with flavor. I didn't like any of the alcohol beverages offered on the menu. I did ask for something fruity or similar to a daiquiri but that wasn't available. However, others in my party throughly enjoyed the "old fashion". For dinner I chose the lobster roll and it was quite memorable. Compliments to the chef. The waiter was amazing and awesome with handling a party of 5 on a busy night. Clean environment. Friendly and professional staff. Ample menu offerings. 5 star experience all around. Will be returning next visit.
