Oyster House has occupied its spot in Center City West for more than 40 years, with roots as a family seafood business dating back to 1947. It's now run by Sam Mink, a third-generation restaurateur continuing that lineage.
The menu leans into raw bar and New England seafood staples: oysters shucked to order, oyster shooters, a lobster roll, and clam chowder, alongside dishes like chicken salad and fries. Butterscotch pudding shows up as a dessert regulars mention alongside the seafood.
Beyond the dining room, Oyster House runs shucking classes and offers take-home kits — including a clambake kit and a lobster roll kit — extending its seafood focus outside the restaurant itself.
