Oyster House

On the heels of its 40th anniversary, there’s still no better place in Philadelphia to enjoy impeccably fresh, chef-prepared seafood than Oyster House. Third-generation owner Sam Mink continues his family's tradition, while keeping things feeling current. From classic chilled New England-style Lobster Roll and satisfying Surf & Turf entrees to $28 Dump Dinners perfect for groups, the new-fashioned seafood spot is heaven on earth for fish fans. The restaurant, designed around a central raw bar, serves the city’s most extensive selection of oysters on the half shell with an ever-changing list focused on local varieties from along the mid-Atlantic up to New England and Canada.
