This is my favorite place to eat whenever I visit Tahoe. The seafood is incredibly fresh and delicious. Almost everything on the menu is a winner. The oysters are so fresh that all I need is a bit of hot sauce and lemon juice to enhance their flavor. The clam chowder is thick and chunky, filled with generous pieces of meat and potato. My top three dishes are the Crab Legs Seafood Boil, Jambalaya, and Gumbo. Everything tastes truly authentic, and the chefs prepare everything to perfection. The last time I ordered the jambalaya, I asked the chef to make it extra spicy, and he certainly delivered! It was really spicy, but I could still appreciate the flavors of the dish. The sausage was perfect...
On a positive note, the rolls were quite good, but they came in large Costco-sized bags and were served straight out of the bag without being warmed up. I paid the bill and left a tip, but I won’t be returning. The worst part was that the restaurant shares a door with an expensive establishment next door, and it felt especially disheartening to see the Nugget completely empty on a Wednesday night. Thankfully, our friends had other plans, or I would have felt worse about it. I had been really looking forward to trying this place out. I had no issues with the staff—probably because I didn’t send anything back and chalked it up to a less-than-great experience.
We came here cause of the reviews. We went on a weekday and there was a small line only took about 15 mins to be seated. Please note this place has very limited seating. All seatting is around a bar type thing so you can see them make your food. We order a few different dishes. We try to get the clam chowder, but they didn't have any that day. The oyster shooter were good and strong. We order half a dozen oyster and that was good too. What wasn't good was the crab boil. It had no flavor. It just had crab and onions, we were very disappointed. The shrimp pasta also hdidnt have any flavor.
Located inside the Hard Rock hotel and always has the longest line. It's basically a counter style bar with few seating (hence the long line). Dishes are made to order as well. My absolute favorite is their pan roast which you can get with your preferred seafood. The clam chowder is also a good pick. Definitely a must try when you're in Tahoe. Giving 3 stars this time since oysters weren't the freshest and the wait staff can be hard to track down.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a small bar located inside a casino, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! The gumbo was absolutely fantastic—just perfect! It had a nice little kick without being overwhelming. The roux was a beautiful deep brown, just right without being too heavy. The seafood tasted incredibly fresh. I will definitely return for more. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.
It's surprising to find seafood in the mountains! The place is typically bustling, so if you spot an available seat, make sure to stop and dine if you can. This time I had the gumbo, which was delicious. The okra was exceptionally fresh, and there was plenty of shrimp and andouille sausage. It was quite hearty. The service was fast and friendly, too.
The guy with the pony tail, Zach, letting 5 people cut in line with a group of 8 . We were a party of 2. Not proper etiquette if they are arriving late. We were so excited to come back here but not willing to wait another 30 min due to bad line management
Local or not local...Oyster Bar is a MUST! From the staff to the food, 10/10. The New England Clam Chowder is outstanding, as well as everything else! OUTSTANDING!

Emily is awesome!! We come here everytime we are on vacation and have always loved the food here. There are a wait sometimes but it's totally worth it!
The service was lacking, but the atmosphere was quite enjoyable.
