Reviews for Merchant Oyster Co. in Pittsburgh, PA
Super awesome service from the bartender. The oysters and peel-n-eat shrimp were amazing. Nice atmosphere. Now for the not so... positive. The seating at the bar was sort of uncomfortable. The lobster roll was not so good. The bread was over saturated withbutter and old bay. The lobster was also very dry. The roll was also extremely small for the cost. Read more
Truly fantastic oysters, lobster rolls, lobster melts, and beer of course! Great people. Awesome vibe. Huge fan of this place.... Maine Dinner making a very special appearance was just ridiculous icing on the cake. Try your luck grabbing a seat at the livelybar when there's a long wait. Read more
My son and I ate here because I wanted oysters and he could get a burger. The restaurant was very nice and clean inside. They... were busy but able to accommodate our walk in on a Friday evening. I ordered 2 dozen oysters for myself. I will say that I feltthey were pricier than other times but the quality of the oysters was excellent especially with their house hot sauce. I wouldhave preferred a description of the flavors if I could change the menu. Everything we ordered was very tasty and I will go back. Read more
We've been wanting to try this place out for a while. We were not disappointed. We had oysters and soup to start. The clam... chowder was very good. I had the crab grilled cheese that's was excellent. My wife had the hot lobster roll that she did notlike at all. However, when we brought this to the waitress' attention she removed it and brought the cold lobster roll insteadthat was also excellent. I appreciate a restaurant owner who understands that not everyone will enjoy an item on the menu andis willing to make it right. All this, and they have Narragansett beer on tap! We'll be back.

The place was great. We met the owner and were happy that he was our bottle opener! Oysters were great and tasted fresh. Good... selection. I would highly recommend crab grilled cheese. Read more
Excellent food, atmosphere and service! Best oyster place we have found. New England clam chowder was amazing. Fantastic... experience and we will be back. Delicious! One side note, beautiful and clean washrooms! Always a bonus. Read more
This is one of my favorite spots in Pitt. The restaurant makes you feel like you’re at the beach with the decor. They have a... nice oyster bar and shuck them right at the bar. I think the bust buy is the clam boil. For $22, you’re getting clams,mussels, shrimp, potatoes, corn and bread. Plus, they are always running specials on Narragansett, which I only found in RhodeIsland. Service is always fast and efficient. Read more
I've been here twice, but six months apart. Everything from service to food and drink quality has been amazing. So happy the... times I've been able to get a babysitter have been worth it! We'll continue to come back. I'd also like to mention I can come inwith some dark jeans and shirt and STILL receive quality service and food! I like being comfortable and having a great diningexperience. Feels more like our days of going out for brunch or dinner in the Bay Area. 10/10 would recommend! Read more
