Grand Central Oyster Bar, Inc.

Great food - one of the best NE Clam Chowder I've had. The two options for seating is several bar- style tables, as well as full service. If you do the bar style, expect to wait. You'll wait for the menu. You'll wait for them to take your order,. You'll wait, and wait to pay. So service is a bit longing. But loved the food, so I'll be back - probably on the full service side though.

Iconic for a reason! We needed to take the train north of Manhattan and wished for delicious seafood. After walking from the Tenement Museum to Grand Central station, we were hungry…The Oyster Bar was perfect! Start with oysters Rockefeller and order anything on the menu because it’s going to be some of the best food you’ve ever had. We had shrimp linguine (amazing!) and jumbo fried shrimp platter (incredible!) Key lime pie is a fabulous finish! Great service and atmosphere and central location.

One of the coolest places in all of Manhattan. Fantastic oyster and seafood bar hidden under a grand Central Station with a menu that changes every day to highlight the fresh deliveries. Choose between a super casual counter seating area, a saloon or a fancy section. Tons of choice and honestly rather cheap for NYC.

Definitely a bit of a touristy spot but it is worth trying out. Already it is meaningful that we can grab a glass of wine and seafood in the historical restaurant. Don't expect great service, amazing foods or anything, but if we could enjoy the hustling bustling atmosphere and beautiful architecture of the space, then that'd be enough.

I used to make a pilgrimage here on my annual layovers through the city, and have wanted to get back here since moving here a couple years ago. Sadly they were closed during the pandemic and now only open during weekdays, making it difficult. Happily I was finally able get over here last week though. The oysters are good and they have a nice variety though prices have gone up a lot since my last visit. The clam chowder is also a must. It was nice for the nostalgia though and the architecture is iconic. A good place to bring any out of town guests that are oyster lovers.
