The Hourly Oyster House

Avoid the cocktail sauce that comes with oysters - it has gluten! Just have a lemon slice with your oysters. I came here a few months ago and asked about the cocktail sauce after reading an earlier review. The waiter said it was gf but I asked him to double-check and he said the earlier reviewer was right, it has gluten. I think it has malt vinegar or some kind of gluten-containing vinegar in it. The menu does not make it clear that this sauce contains gluten, and the staff might be unaware. Otherwise, the oysters were great. I tried the lobster bisque, it was nothing amazing, but it was gluten-free and safe.

Love coming here for oysters, and their lobster bisque is GF! Their lobster roll is also a good sized portion and tastes great- just have it on greens with no bun. If they had GF bread and a better cocktail list, I’d be here way more often.

We visited for oysters and drinks and sat at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and let us know that the chips on the tables were not safe for my celiac partner (shared fryer) She also held the cocktail sauce for the oyster tray as it was not gf. Giving 4 stars as we haven’t been for a full meal but would be down to come back and try!
