I came here in January with my sister and it was a little vibe. And you can see off the pictures that the food was good. We both ordered the charred oyster trio. I forgot the flavors but 2 of them were like a mild sauce and the other was a loaded oyster. They were very tasty. Along with my whiskey sour. Not expensive at all. We sat at the bar and chitchatted and the bartender was very nice. I would definitely go back again

Snapper
Alexis H.

10/10 NO NOTES LOL. The red snapper... delicious. Perfectly crispy and sauced. The truffle fries with garlic aioli.YUM. the cucumber salad, a nice light refreshing side. The flatbread ?!!!!!! The oysters??! Everything was perfectly executed. If that wasn't enough the bread pudding and honey graham ice cream had me about to go into a food coma !!! It was worth the nearly 2 hour drive. I will be returning my very soon! This restaurant was very small and quaint. The servers were so attentive and they have great bar oyster specials.

Drink menu
Khadija D.

What can I say. What a gem of an establishment. It's cute, not too overwhelming with a gigantic menu & crowded seating. My wife & I went straight to bar and snuggled in next to a lovely couple. The bar tender was nice, despite being obviously tired & a bit in demand as she was the only one tending the bar. The food, drinks & people were great! We had raw oysters, and grilled oysters. We opted for the spicy and garlic chargrilled oysters. My wife enjoyed the taco flight which was: fish, shrimp & fried oysters. I had the snapper bites. All was perfectly seasoned and well-proportioned. Delicious. I'm excited to go back again soon! I love that it's in a community who loves all!!!

Wings
Shaelyn H.

Came here for happy hour with my friend and sat at the bar. We ordered a variety of items including the wings, charbroiled oysters, tacos, and brussels sprouts. Everything was pretty good I liked the variety of flavors for the charbroiled oysters and the shrimp and catfish tacos. The brussels were a little too sweet for my liking. The service was really friendly and attentive. The ambiance is super cute and nice.

I celebrated my birthday at The Urban Oyster on Sunday afternoon. The decor was exquisitely designed. It gave elevated casual with a touch of elegance. We were immediately seated upon arrival and given a choice of seats/location. I started with the Pearanoia cocktail which was refreshing. Then I tried the Luck Be a Lady cocktail. This was a pretty drink and a bit sweet. For appetizers: -Devil's Eggs were perfect! -Taco Flight (2 shrimp and 1 catfish) was very filling. Could have had this as an entree. -Chargrilled Oysters were unfortunately my least favorite of everything ordered. Nothing stood out. For entrees: -Grilled Branzino was a solid choice. There was an up-charge to replace the cauliflower with broccolini. -Seafood flatbread I had the bread pudding for dessert. I enjoyed the starters more than the main courses. The drinks were luscious and the food was good. The service was attentive and friendly. It's located in a quaint neighborhood of Baltimore reminiscent of Adams Morgan in DC. I will certainly be back to hangout because the ambiance is a vibe! Having metered parking directly across the street provided convenience. For rideshare riders, they have a vestibule so that you are covered while waiting.

Happy hour menu
Ama A.

I came here specifically for happy hour and really enjoyed myself. They offer a happy hour special that is not listed on the menu: six oysters (two flavors), truffle fries, and a drink for $35. That alone felt like a great deal. I tried the volcano and teriyaki oysters, and they were so good. The truffle fries also held their own, and I am very particular about my fries, so that says a lot. I also ordered the happy hour tacos (oyster and catfish). They were okay, nothing to run home about. Since the restaurant clearly has some elevated sauces, I would love to see those same sauces incorporated into the tacos to make them stand out more. Otherwise, they feel pretty standard. Also, try the deviled eggs topped with a fried oyster. Very tasty and worth ordering. I would absolutely come back to try dinner, but the happy hour menu definitely gives you great value for your money and excellent service.

I had an amazing time here. I had been at a professional development work conference the week of my birthday. Honestly, it felt like a complimentary getaway because I got to work and play. In the day time I went to cohorts and talks. In the evening I got to explore Baltimore for the first time. This was at the top of my list because it's Black Woman owned and had a menu selection worthy of my birthday dinner. I shared a few plates with my colleagues but also got to indulge in a main. It was a warm and inviting space. I had such a great time and I'd definitely go back.

Seafood flatbread
Kristina D.

Food: 7.5/10 Ambience: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Food I tried: hot honey old bay wings, seafood flatbread, half dozen oysters and bread pudding The bread pudding and fresh oysters were the best things I ate. The wings needed more sauce and were a little dry (and were not spicy despite the name and the description mentioning hot sauce) and the seafood flatbread was decent. Two others at my table had charbroiled oysters and didn't like them at all. The ambience was cute - the music was fun upbeat R&B and the decor and lighting was very chic. The service was mixed. The good - our server was friendly, endearing and quick and the manager checked on us and was very gracious. The bad - I ordered a mocktail and was brought a regular cocktail (thankfully I didn't drink it but our server didn't realize her mistake for quite some time) and someone else at my table told our server her allergies but was still brought a cocktail containing one of her specified allergies. I'd go back for happy hour at the bar if I was casually catching up with a friend or 2 but I'm not sure I'd go back for a formal dinner.

Raw oysters
Kelly C.

I was really excited to try this spot on my birthday after seeing some glowing recommendations online. The hostess was really friendly and the interior is chic. Our server was overall friendly and attentive, refilling our drinks and checking in regularly. The raw oysters were very fresh. The chargrilled oysters were drowning in bbq sauce and cheese, and I think the sauce/cheese took away from the oysters. The seafood flatbread is delicious. However the seafood pomodoro is a bit disappointing and overpriced. For $42 it was really just pasta noodles with an extremely small amount of seafood. There was also a ton of crab shell. I found pieces of shell in almost every bite I took. Not sure if I would order full prize entrees here again but definitely a solid option for raw oysters and happy hour! Automatic 20% gratuity regardless of party size- we were a party of two.

The Urban Oyster is a beautiful Black, female-owned restaurant in the neighborhood of Hampden in Baltimore. I decided to pop in to connect with a friend for her birthday dinner. Getting a reservation and parking was really easy on a Sunday evening. Here's all of the things that I loved and didn't love as much while here, Loved, - crab cake was good, not the best I've ever had but good - Our server was really friendly and attentive - Interior is beautiful, I love the family style table at the front and the fact that they have a large window that opens out to the street letting in fresh air. -my friend says she loved the fresh oysters and the cocktail she got Didn't love as much, - Snapper bites were decent, chewy but decent. Loved the presentation - charbroiled oysters -- didn't really taste anything but cheese and it was a bit burnt I'll be back to check out their happy hour or when the menu features some different options. I saw someone mention an oxtail lasagna and babyyy let me tell you. I would scarf that down really quick.

Deviled eggs with fried oysters
TaNeisha J.

I waited until I was able to visit The Urban Oyster a few times before I settled on my overall rating. The restaurant is a bit small -- decor is really nice. Since I didn't have a reservation, I sat at the bar for a quick meal. Service was speedy. I tried the crab cakes with potatoes and broccolini. I also tried their deviled eggs topped with a fried oyster. The crab cakes were a hit! No filler! I loved the potatoes too. My critique for this dish would be the broccolini; it was a bit too charred for me. The deviled eggs topped with fried oysters were tasty. The deviled egg filling was mixed well - smooth. The crunch from the fried oysters gave a bit of balance to the soft egg. Thoroughly enjoyed! All-in-all, I enjoyed my food and the experience. Will definitely keep this one in rotation! Cheers!

Old fashioned
Amanda S.

And prep for my trip to Baltimore, I researched black owned restaurants to visit, and I was delightfully introduced to a Black owned oyster bar in the city. Luckily for me, it wasn't too far of an Uber ride from the harbor area where I stayed and so I took a quick trip to enjoy the oysters and a nice cocktail. The restaurant looked like it was located in a really nice area from what I can tell. The restaurant is small in size but very well decorated; it has a bit of a sophisticated flair. My server, Erica was really nice and knowledgeable of the menu. The oysters tasted very fresh and the old-fashioned was very well balanced. I noticed there was a bit of a small smaller menu so just keep that in mind. But overall a really nice restaurant and I hope they stick around.

Becky C.

Back again and it was my sister's first time! We loved the vibe, the oysters and greatly appreciated our lovely waitress Anyela for being so kind and attentive.

Great meal at great restaurant and I look forward to coming back soon to try some other food here…read more A couple reasons for this not being a five-star review, first of all somewhere along the way our server left and another server took her place and we're not sure why but once the other server took over which luckily was right before dessert things slowed down to a snail's pace. It took forever for us to get our desserts and then the same to get our check. Not really sure why our server disappeared halfway through the meal, but she did. Secondly, I ordered a catfish sandwich which was delicious but I ordered it with no tartar sauce and our server said that that's the way she put it down but the kitchen didn't prepare it that way they prepared it with tartar sauce slathered all over the sandwich which I promptly sent back. Not being a big oyster fan, I did get a couple of raw oysters and actually really enjoyed them and will be back to have more in the future. My mom had the snakehead which was very delicious but also a very small portion for the amount that we paid. The website indicated that for those who are gluten-free, like my mom, the menu had stars on them but the menu that we had did not nor was there a menu with stars indicating what is or could be made gluten free. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice. We chose to eat outside because it wasn't too hot and we could sit under cover and enjoy the beautiful June weather. It was nice inside but it didn't look to be a very large area inside and could have been very noisy with the high ceilings. Not sure willl try in the future and report at that time. There are many things on the menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back. If you love oysters come here and they won't disappoint. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Aside from the two issues that I experienced, they were minor in the scheme of things and I will definitely be back.

We were right in front of the oyster shucking area which was entertaining to watch. We ordered a dozen oysters, six of two different kinds. The oysters are priced by the half dozen here just FYI. I feel like Dylan's has some of the freshest oysters in Baltimore. I love that they're not all huge ginormous dinner plates but some are small and petite with a light brine. We also ordered the french onion dip, potato skins, caesar salad, and brussel sprouts. The french onion dip had great flavor and went well with the potato chips (I subbed extra chips in place of the crackers to make it gluten free). I only wish the dip was served warm. The brussels were absolutely delicious with great flavor and texture, and not swimming in the sauce like some other places. The stern fern martini is one of my faves but I can't drink more than one and once the other salty dishes started coming out, I needed something different so I opted for the yuzu cider. That was really refreshing and delicious! The basque cheesecake for dessert was good but not the best I've had. Service at the bar seemed a bit rushed but it may have been because the place was packed. It was a Tuesday night but at 6:30pm, every seat was full. By 8pm the place really cleared out so we'll time our visit a little later next time. The owner, Dylan, was working the floor alongside his staff and was nice enough to offer us some of his home-made hot sauce. It was really good! My only wish would be for the menu to be better marked for gluten free options.

Dylans has a variety of northern oysters that hits the spot, they also have a menu for some tasty bites too. The menu isn't very large but adequate for a bar with seafood. The seating is quaint and I like the loud vibe of the bar atmosphere there. I wish they had more menu highlights and choices, since I don't drink much. The parking was not too crowded on the street and very reasonable in cost. A small town location in a nicely lit neighborhood with a main street feel. If I am in the area, I will stop by again!

I'm not sure why the simple menu offered can't use fresh, farm to table ingredients. Or, simplify the menu but make it fresh and great, It's just sad.

Unfortunately, my overall experience was disappointing. Starting with the drinks, our group ordered lemon drops, smoked old fashioneds, vodka sodas, and an espresso martini. The lemon drops tasted like they were made with lime instead of lemon, the vodka soda was very weak, and the espresso martini lacked flavor and strength--we ended up ordering an extra shot just to make it drinkable. As for the food, it was a mixed bag. The Brussels sprouts were cold, stale, and easily the biggest disappointment of the meal. The honey Old Bay wings were decent, around a 7/10, with good flavor. The catfish nuggets arrived cold, and the fries that came with them were cold as well. The fish tacos were actually the highlight of the meal--they were flavorful and well-prepared, although they could have used a sauce to bring everything together. The burger was solid, about an 8/10, but the fries had an unusual seasoning that didn't pair well with them. The quesadillas were also underwhelming and lacked flavor. The prices felt excessive considering the quality of the food and drinks. One thing to keep in mind is that there's a noticeable difference between the cash price and the card price, so be prepared if you're paying with a card. Overall, I left disappointed. Between the weak drinks, inconsistent food quality, and high prices, this wasn't an experience I'd recommend, and I don't see myself returning.
