The Union Oyster House is the real deal. The freshest, most perfect oysters, great seafood, great bar, pleasant staff. An added bonus - amazing cornbread. Do yourself a favor...make a reservation before you go, or plan to wait a very long time - but it's worth it.

Omg worth every penny! This place is awesome and great people serving
The food was great, the place was really interesting & the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Do you like shellfish? Nuff said!!! Do you like historical locations? This is a cool place to visit.
