B&G Oysters

Good! What is there to say? If you are looking for a good place to have dinner in the area, B&G Oysters is the place to be. Open kitchen concept to create a bigger space ambiance with slightly limited indoor seating. Surprisingly there were quite a number of tables with kids too! The calamari — you can nevee go wrong with fried food, their raw oysters are amazing! Island Creek will always be the best tasting for me. The cocktail sauce they make is delicious with the oysters as well. For entree the scallops were perfectly cooked, flavors and texture blended well in the dish. As for dessert, banana pudding is banana pudding— maybe also try the chocolate mousse and let me know! Drinks we had the Bee’s Knees cocktail and 1 glass of 2022 Rose. It went perfectly with the apps. The only thing is that we were always asked if we’re done with our plate. Anyway— Til next time! Maybe brunch!

It was such a nice place for a dinner. It's located in half a basement, so there isn't much view, and it also gets quite noisy once busy due to the low ceilings, but it's still nice. All the ratings put their chowder very high, and I agree with that. For the main, we shared seafood bake, which turned to be more of a "half a lobster with clams", not what we expected, but we still enjoyed it very much.

We were in town for a short stay and decided to try out B&G Oysters as we were craving some fresh seafood. It did not disappoint! The oysters, mussels, and calamari were all delicious and at *peak* freshness. In fact, we had mussels again at a different restaurant later in the day and immediately noticed the difference in quality. The service was incredible as well. It was a hot day so we sat inside, but their back patio is perfect for an intimate meal. I highly recommend stopping in at B&G when you're in the mood for fresh seafood!

B&G never fails to delight me with a fantastic no frills yet perfectly executed high quality meal - every single time! We always sit at the bar because you can watch the chefs in action. I would recommend this the most for smaller groups - solo or with one other person. If more ask for the corner. We always start with a dozen oysters chef selection, almost always perfectly shucked and always fresh and delicious. I have had the shrimp cocktail and clams - all wonderful. A MUST get are the fried oysters. Fresh, perfectly seasoned batter that is light, over a bed of their delish tarter sauce. Simple but perfectly executed. This time around we also got the friend ipswich clams platter - SO good! Clams were fresh and juicy, friend to perfection to maintain its tender juiciness. Their fries are also some of the best. We always finish our meal with the whole branzino (though the scallops always look so good too!) and let me tell you, there is only clean bone left when we are though. If you’re not eating the crispy head and getting all the fish rib meat, what are you even doing? A note on service - even though they are so busy, they still brought my cousin a little bday dessert and candle when I disclosed to them that it was his bday. So so appreciated. Love this place so much.

My husband and I went to Boston for our honeymoon and we were recommended my many people to try B&G Oysters. Wonderful atmosphere and great food, our waitress was so nice and made us feel welcomed. We shared a bottle of wine with our fried oysters and lobster roll. All was delicious and would love to go back again if given the chance.

Absolute delicious fish and chips! Then why the 2 stars you might wonder - it was so cold in the restaurant we had to sit with our coats on and it really (negatively) impacted our experience - the salad was drowning in its dressing - one of us ordered a beer and it was forgotten and then delivered at the last bite of the food - we came for lunch and I feel size and price of the fish and chips plate can be adjusted to a lunch portion, fried food is best eaten fresh and not something you take home

Disappointing experience. My friend enjoyed the clams, oysters, and arancini, but my lobster roll had several pieces of shell. I hate to complain, but I couldn’t stomach the rest of the meal. Service was extremely attentive to the table next to us, but it took a long time for me to grab the attention of any server to bring up the problem with my meal. Management was kind enough to come over and explain that they don’t prepare the lobster in house, and sent a free dessert, but we were still charged the full $45 for a meal that was half eaten and not done correctly. I did not request a re-do of the meal, so at least some of the charge should’ve been taken off. I really hate to leave a bad review, but I didn’t get a great reception of concern from staff, so I didn’t feel comfortable bringing up the charge.

As a seafood lover, B&G oysters has always been on top of my list for brunch. Recent got the chance to visit, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The place initially seemed welcoming with its open kitchen concept, and it was interesting watch the staffs shuck our oysters. Among the four types of oysters we got, Wellfleet had the best texture and a mildly sweet flavor that we enjoyed. The umami oysters were also one of our favorites with their unique aftertaste. The shrimps and the clams were good, but the clams seemed too small for their price. The two appetizer dishes were the standouts. The fried oysters went nicely with the tartare sauce, and the shredded lettuce helped tone down the greasiness. The calamaris were also super crispy and the spicy aioli sauce was one of the best I’ve had. Our disappointment with the meal started with the entrées. The lobster roll was mediocre at best. With the lobster meat cut into tiny pieces, it was difficult to enjoy its flavor. The fries and the buttered toast were okay, but it certainly wasn’t worth its price. Overall, great place for fried seafood and fresh oysters, but beware of the overpriced and disappointing entrées.
