The freshest oysters I’ve ever had! Our waiter was a bit salty we did not order a lot of food or drinks, and rushed us to pay the bill when we were given it. Overall the experience was good, but felt a bit uncomfortable for not ordering what the restaurant had anticipated, which should never be the case.

We were put off by the outside scenery at first driving by (not so safe looking area across the street) but so glad we gave it a try. Our waitress served us with a greatest smile from start to finish.

I was not sure what to expect but from the moment we pulled up to the Maine Oyster Company, I knew we were in for a special experience. Joe could not have been any nicer and accommodating. Since it was cold and wet, he provided us with additional layers to insure a great experience. We took a slow boat ride out to Cape Small Oyster Farm, where we proceeded to learn to shuck oysters (and eat them). Joe also gave us a great education on oysters and the work he and the team are doing on creating regenerative oyster reefs. A must Maine experience!

Just go ahead and book an oyster shucking class! You won’t regret it. We had so much fun with Sean learning how to shuck and info about Maine’s oyster farming. 100% recommend!

Our family ordered oysters for delivery! They arrived fresh, on-time, and well-packed. And, most importantly, they tasted great. Thanks for a great experience. We will order again!

This oyster shucking class was phenomenal! Easily our favorite activity this past weekend. Teachers were fun and informative, and the drinks on tap were the perfect touch. Would tell everyone I know to book this class if they visit Portland

Portland is a “food town” but this spot is sneakily off the radar and has some of the best food in town. The oysters are always awesome, but the rest of the menu is killer and flies under the radar. Staff is always friendly, kind, and attentive. Love this spot.

Such a warm, clean, welcoming cozy atmosphere. Delicious fresh on ice oysters. Happy hour special was 3 dollars off 12 oysters. The deviled eggs were also yummy!
