It was such a nice place for a dinner. It's located in half a basement, so there isn't much view, and it also gets quite noisy once busy due to the low ceilings, but it's still nice. All the ratings put their chowder very high, and I agree with that. For the main, we shared seafood bake, which turned to be more of a "half a lobster with clams", not what we expected, but we still enjoyed it very much.
We were in town for a short stay and decided to try out B&G Oysters as we were craving some fresh seafood. It did not disappoint! The oysters, mussels, and calamari were all delicious and at *peak* freshness. In fact, we had mussels again at a different restaurant later in the day and immediately noticed the difference in quality. The service was incredible as well. It was a hot day so we sat inside, but their back patio is perfect for an intimate meal. I highly recommend stopping in at B&G when you're in the mood for fresh seafood!

B&G never fails to delight me with a fantastic no frills yet perfectly executed high quality meal - every single time! We always sit at the bar because you can watch the chefs in action. I would recommend this the most for smaller groups - solo or with one other person. If more ask for the corner.
We always start with a dozen oysters chef selection, almost always perfectly shucked and always fresh and delicious. I have had the shrimp cocktail and clams - all wonderful.
A MUST get are the fried oysters. Fresh, perfectly seasoned batter that is light, over a bed of their delish tarter sauce. Simple but perfectly executed. This time around we also got the friend ipswich clams platter - SO good! Clams were fresh and juicy, friend to perfection to maintain its tender juiciness. Their fries are also some of the best.
We always finish our meal with the whole branzino (though the scallops always look so good too!) and let me tell you, there is only clean bone left when we are though. If you’re not eating the crispy head and getting all the fish rib meat, what are you even doing?
A note on service - even though they are so busy, they still brought my cousin a little bday dessert and candle when I disclosed to them that it was his bday. So so appreciated. Love this place so much.
My husband and I went to Boston for our honeymoon and we were recommended my many people to try B&G Oysters. Wonderful atmosphere and great food, our waitress was so nice and made us feel welcomed. We shared a bottle of wine with our fried oysters and lobster roll. All was delicious and would love to go back again if given the chance.
Grade B (87) Food was good in general but a bit overpriced. The Lobster roll was ok, but $40? The ceviche is ok, but it was in ababyfood jar in the middle of the clams 😂. Clam chowder was very good, so was the fried oysters. The oysters were good according to my buddy (I don't eat raw oysters specially when traveling) all in all it was good, but overpriced.
Great food and fantastic vibes. The best lobster roll I’ve ever had in my life. The clam chowder here has lardon in it, making it very hearty and has a homey feeling to it. Highly recommend!
We love this place! It's an amazing atmosphere. Of course the oysters are fantastic and so was the clam chowder, Black bass, and the bouillabaisse. We finished it off with the chocolate mouse and the beignets and both were delicious!
Went for a spontaneous light lunch, which ended in a oyster binge.
Very fresh oysters, great taste and good selection.
great place... easy walk from Backbay and Copley... you can sit indoors or outdoors... we sat inside to the right as you walk in... a cozy corner from where you can watch all the action, and dine too... for us it was a relaxed atmosphere all around... the kitchen was not rushed so the food was very well cooked... liked the french fries and the coleslaw was NOT dripping, just perfect... the calamari appetizer was wonderful... the fish and oyster entrees were wonderful too.
Great oysters and an absolutely delicious lobster roll! Would definitely love to come back!
Take a look at the photos, these are pretty large lobster rolls overflowing with lobster! You’ll have trouble keeping it all in the bread, every bite is great!
