Reviews for The Dive Oyster Bar in Temple City, CA
My review is based off of the happy hour menu. Parking is crazy in this plaza so be prepared and careful. The bathroom was ok... and pretty clean (though I prefer paper towels over hand driers). Seating was plenty and the decorations were great!! They dida lot to make the place fit the theme very well. However, we came on a 100 degree day where it was 95 at night and the AC wasnot working!! Could not believe there was no AC. There were fans going but that just blows around warm air and dries out mycontacts. It was extremely disappointing to be sweating while eating. Ordered the sangria (it was good and sweet like I waslooking for), tried the brussel sprouts (that was amazing with the addition of feta cheese. Very tasty, a perfect duo!), and Itried the chicken wings (way overcooked because it made it dry and hard to chew and very salty) and the fish n chips (that wasmost disappointing. It had a bad fishy taste and was kinda mushy). I would recommend getting the brussel sprouts and the cajunfries (delicious and the fries were not too spicy at all). My friends enjoyed the oysters (they said it was really fresh).Everything else is a no go. The server was nice and checked up on us but whenever we really needed him, he was nowhere to beseen. So service was 50/50 to me. Read more
Great happy hour. Mon-Fri 3-6. Great specials on drinks and small bites. Inside is modern and pretty spacious. They have a few... TVs over the bar to watch a game. Went in for happy hour and got oysters, the hot Cheeto truffle mac & cheese, and the fish &chips. I liked everything. Also liked their tequila sunrise and sangria. Will definitely be coming back to try more. Goodservice. Friendly staff. There's parking in the shopping center lot but it can get full but there's also underground parking. Read more
Although not truly authentic, this place is tasty and fairly priced for what you get. Especially tasty was the mac and cheese... clam chowder bowl. As strange as it sounds, it works and is quite filling as an appetizer. For the main course we also got thejambalaya. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but tasty and quite large. Read more

Came here for happy hour with a few friends. We tried a few items off the menu and the consensus was that we thought it was just... okay. They do give out pretty large portions and the flavors were decent. I was told that the oysters and gumbo were just okay.The crawfish, fries, and salmon salad were decent as well. The sangria was pretty good so I'd come back and try other items offthe menu. The parking lot can get crowded but there is additional underground parking as well. Read more

Cajun, creole steam kettle cooking in the city of Temple City! Happy hour, M - F, 3p - 630p. $6 bottomless mimosas w/ entrée... on Sunday from 12p - 3p.

I am soooo happy to have found this precious gem of a restaurant! Delicious food, stellar customer service, great... location…need I say more? Yes I can, so I will. While I’ve had their food in the past & have been pleased, today’s diningexperience deserves mentioning. I had a hankering for seafood but was in a rush to get home before traffic got too bad. I calledThe Dive Oyster Bar & placed an order to go. Upon my arrival, my order was packed & ready to go…zero wait so I could easilygrab & go. Once I got home & ready to dig in, I noticed how well packaged my items were. The steamed clams were packed in a wayto keep all the broth from spilling out & the fried oysters & crawfish tails were packaged in a vented container to keep themcrispy. Everything was AMAZING. The broth for the clams was so flavorful & went great w/the French baguette provided to“sop” up the broth. The crawfish & oysters were quite tasty too. Everything paired perfectly w/a salad I already prepared arhome. This meal was plentiful & more than enough to feed 3 people. The quality & price point made my tastebuds & wallet do thehappy dance! Do yourself a favor & dive into The Dive Oyster Bar, you’ll be so glad you did.???? Read more
