Can’t say enough good things! Cold beer, fresh delicious oysters and shrimp, and affable “shuckers” to help you out

If you are looking for an old school home in the wall oyster bar, this is the place. We headed in for a cold drink and a dozen oysters and it did not disappoint!

Hidden gem in the Vista of Columbia! Bigger than it appears, The Oyster Bar is truly just that – a large wrap-around wooden bar with stools for seating. Behind the bar stand some of the fastest oyster-shuckers I’ve ever seen! As I’m not an oyster fan, I ordered the steamed shrimp which can be prepared several different ways. Excellent!

Food and service were amazing! Drinks were strong and food was fresh. Hunter took fantastic care of me at the bar. Nothing pretentious, vibe was just right!

Crab legs were over cooked for me and multiple customers. I was highly disappointed. No flavor at all. First time I’ve ever added salt. Our party of 3 left hungry. The oysters had no flavor either. When I quietly complained the staff simply said sorry.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Great food and great service. You can’t beat getting fresh oysters that get shucked for you right in front of you. Crab legs and everything we’ve ever had is so tasty!

Best spot to get oysters in Columbia. You have to try their house cocktail sauce! Friendly staff, you can’t beat their prices for the quality.

Excellent visit to the Oyster Bar. Delicious gumbo, tasty steamed old bay shrimp, and delicious raw oysters. Shucked right in front of me. Service was great, thanks Hunter!. Definitely will go back.
