Use to go for the tuesday oyster special..a dozen on the half shell for under $10 bucks? I know its dumb to eat raw seafood in the middle of the desert..but sometimes u have to stop that craving.
Now they jacked the prices up, the oil in the fryer seems like its never been changed, and both locations are just getting too old....it used to be charming and local, now it looks plain dark and dirty.
The bartenders are still pretty cool though, bc they probably have steady regulars already...could get a little rough when the bikers come in..lots of local patrons and all kinds of characters.
Both locations of the Lone Star Oyster Bar are pretty stellar, but I choose which one I visit depending on m y intent for the night. If I am interested in getting drunk, I visit 34th. If I am more concerned with my empty belly, the Slide Road (58th Street) location is the placed to go.
Don't get me wrong, the food is good at both locations. But the Slide Road location is more family friendly, and for some reason the food is higher quality. The menus are slightly different, and I prefer the one at this location. I know it sounds funny, but even the salad is really excellent at this place.
Just a few recommendations:
Try the fried oysters. So good.
Crab cakes are delish.
They have really amazing nachos.
Screw it, everything is good. I don't think I've had anything I don't like. Maybe the catfish, but I don't really like catfish anyways.
Just go check it out, trust me.
