Neptune Oyster

Neptune Oyster, which opened in 2004, is the epitome of an East Coast raw bar. The interior's plain subway tiles radiate a nostalgic appeal. The city's most renowned lobster rolls are served hot with butter or cold with mayo, and while many customers focus on the raw bar, those that choose substantial meal like them. Other noteworthy meals include creative dishes like a whole Rockport mackerel served Veracruz-style and delicious burgers topped with fried oysters. Expect to wait outside the entrance for a seat at the bar or one of the marble-topped tables given the confined space.

Since it opened in 2004, Neptune Oyster has been one of the city's most popular choices for fresh, regional seafood. It has a classic East Coast raw bar ambiance, a modest retro décor, and a wide variety of seafood. For lovers of oysters, the wait is worth it even if there is always a queue out the door. A large selection of oysters are served by skilled shuckers, with the majority being local favorites like Wellfleets, Cotuits, and Island Creeks, but there are also some types from the West Coast. Spend money on the Neptune Plateau to indulge on a variety of seafood, including oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab claws.
