Doris HuMarch 15, 2015Best happy hour in NOLA (4-8pm)! Come here at 3:30pm to secure a seat without a long wait. Inexpensive and delicious chargrilled oysters. Great crawfish boil (cooked with sausage, corn, mushroom)!
myrrh ♫November 22, 2017Skip the charbroiled oysters and show up just before 4pm for $3-for-a-dozen fresh delicious raw gulf oysters (must buy one adult bev per dozen oysters).
Jessica LewisMay 25, 2016Pretty slow service during happy hour on the patio but excellent chargrilled oysters and great happy hour prices! Totally worth the wait.
Regan MorrisonFebruary 14, 2016Crawfish quesadillas are very good. Waitresses are super friendly. Definitely recommend trying it if your looking for good oysters and other seafood!
Riley WagnerFebruary 14, 2016Huge cheap oysters and wonderful bloody Mary's! This place makes you feel like a local.
Chargrilled oysters are fantastic, especially at the happy hour prices. I think we ate around 8 dozen of 'em on various visits while staying on St. Charles over Christmas.
Ira BJanuary 21, 2016The happy hour special will fill you up and leave you wishing you ate less. Get a beer and super cheap, delicious oysters.
Brian SourFebruary 11, 2015Happy Hour Oysters both raw and chargrilled with purchase of an adult beverage. Freaking awesome. Jimmy is the best he totally lived up to reviews before I ever ate here.

Katie ArnoldDecember 19, 2014The 25 cent oysters are a great deal, but it's only with every alcoholic drink you order... Which is still a great deal.
Don DehartFebruary 11, 2015The oysters were on point. Club sandwich was great Also. Great staff. Awesome environment.

Rebekah DurelApril 1, 2014If you want to take advantage of the 25cent oysters that "last till 8" you have to get there by 4pm!
Sandy ThyerJuly 2, 2013Just here on a visit and feel like a local. Amazing .25 oysters! Highly reccommend!
Danny KFebruary 22, 2013Came from México. Had fish tacos, blind pelikan pizza and oysters. Best dinner in long time.
Sam InmanMarch 28, 2014Arrive about 90 minutes before happy hour ends or else you won't get a table in time to take advantage of it.
Jimmy Buckingham is the best waiter ever. Seriously. But Patrick is sweet too. Basically this place is awesome.
AislinnOctober 22, 2013Great, aside from our server. Make sure Max is NOT your server... he appears to be about 15 years old and needs some serious lessons in customer service.
Doug is the best bartender you'll ever have. He's personable and cares about takin care of people
Megan JonesNovember 4, 2013If you sit on the patio outside bring your helmet and watch for falling acorns.
