“ This place is awesome! My husband and I were in South Bend for the weekend, and Oyster Bar was highly recommended. The food was excellent. Great clam chowder and stuffed mushrooms, and their burgers are amazing. The service was incredible. Lindsay and Nikki were so kind and friendly, and gave us some suggestions for things to do while we were in the area. I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s a true gem! ”

“ Best service ever both times we've visited. The Gumbo soup was on point, and who doesn't love some Oysters on the 1/2. The drinks were reasonable too and not weak. One of my new favorite spots down town ”
“ Nice Place. Once inside and seated down by the bar you get a relaxed New Orleans feeling or even Old Town Boston . With an open kitchen at the end of the bar you can watch your food being made and the chefs making their art. Service was good , cocktails were on point and that ole school feeling makes it all tie in. This was a Fun stop. Cheers! ”
“ Great atmosphere great food! Great crowd! Friendly and professional staff! I'm from out of town, I got asked for an ID if not I wouldn't be served. A little bothered but they're doing there job, and totally worth it great time! And to continue on the atmosphere you feel great being there, it's dim which adds a touch of magic to it maybe it's just me! ”
