    Next to the Pokeroom, I saw Big Sur. Oyster Rockefeller, Clams Casino, Raw Clams on the half shell, Clam Chowder, and much, much more I could not stop eating; all of it absolutely delicious, and what a generous price point. They also (Next Door) have a wonderful breakfast buffet. Great Service.

    The Big Sur Oyster bar is a sibbling of Palace Station Oyster bar which started it all. I love the clam chowder here. Oysters are on special daily until 4 pm. They are huge and served with a sort of sweet cocktail sauce and Mignonette. They have a reduced price menu till then on selected items. Service is efficient and refills of water or sodas do not have to be asked. it's a big U-shaped counter with a few tables around the counter. They are famous for their pan-roasts served with rice. I enjoy the combo roast including shrimps, crab and lobster. You get to order spice level from 1-10; 10 being spiciest. I usually get a 4. just delicious. It's a great pit stop before or after seeing a movie at South Pointe. One of these days I'll figure out how to add photos to the reviews lol.

    Came to Big Sur Oyster Bar as a party of 2 and sat at the bar. Service was excellent but food came slow. Restaurant is open kitchen which I really liked. Restaurant is not that big in size, but there was not a wait when I stopped by on a Saturday mid-afternoon. I really enjoyed the Clam Chowder! Highly recommend coming here at least once when you're in Vegas.

    Half off clams until 4 daily.  So good

    Happy hour review. Half price clams and oysters. Until 4 daily. Freshly Shucked. What a great deal. Dozen clams 27 before the discount. Really fresh tasting. Cocktail sauce included. I'll definitely be back here again and again. Oysters. Gold band 32 a dozen. Before discount. Kinda big but still very good. Clean tasting. I love it. Sat at the bar. Had great service. Really fun spot inside south point for great raw seafood

    Crab pan roast - SUPER salty

    We came in a pretty large party of 7 and were seated pretty quickly all things considered. That being said, my husband was misled by the concierge at our hotel that this was the same oyster bar that's at the Station Casinos. It is not. The pan roast was a salt bomb and the veggies in it were still raw and crunchy when I got it. They have no kids menu so that was a little upsetting too. My kids ended up sharing the fried shrimp and scallops with fries. They did not eat the scallops but they enjoyed the fries. Husbands oysters seemed to have been fine, he had no complaints. Overall this was not for us and we'll probably end up at Santa Fe station in the future for pan roast and seafood when we're out in Vegas.

    New England Clam Chowder

    Great dinner with friends here on a Friday Evening around 5:30pm. We had a party of 5 and wveeyonenjoyed what they ordered. We started off with the Tempura Shrimp which was very tasty. The dipping sauces are great- a Wasabi one and Plum. I haven't had the Fish & Chips in a while and I forgot how much I like them. It's a big portion for $31. It's Beer Battered Halibut. Fish and Fries are perfectly crispy. My friend had the Fish & Chips also, but with the Homemade Potato Chips and those were just as good. The Shrimp Scampi is also delicious, the garlic, buttery sauce is so good. Our server was so pleasant and was very good with checking to see how we were doing. Always an amazing meal here.

    Manhattan clam chowder
    Michele M.

    This is a small open kitchen restaurant in the middle of the Southpoint Casino. We were seated fairly quickly on a Friday evening. The reviews are not stellar but everything we ate was good. The warm rolls were very good. I had the manhattan clam chowder which was really good. It's hard to find Manhattan clam chowder as opposed to New England clam chowder. Here's where the little issue is with this place. I wanted to have the chowder and share the halibut fish and chips with my husband. They said that he had to order $10 worth of food for the split plate charge. He wanted a bowl of New England clam chowder but at $7, it wasn't enough so then he ordered a $13 Caesar salad. It was way too much food but what else were we to do? And to top it off, they didn't even split the plate, it was served as is. The halibut fish and chips were good which was a plus. Service was friendly and nice despite the $10 split plate rule.

    There is an old saying, "Good things come in small packages." That would be the Big case for Sure with oysters. A big deal Especially for this oyster bar in the BIG SOUTH POINT CASINO HOTEL. Always immediate seating with a welcoming server ready to take your order request. Nevertheless, oyster bars should be notable as a food source for the rich. Rich concentrations of zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and iodine. They also provide magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and calcium. These minerals support immune function, DNA synthesis, bone health, and energy metabolism, making oysters a highly nutritious food source. And all that good stuff is supplied in one meal. A Big thumbs up for Sur, Oyster.

    Dozen oysters
    Kat E.

    Missed half off oysters by 30 mins,boooo. Guess we'll settle for just 1 dozen instead of #dozens. Parked in the garage and sped walked to the restaurant. Seated immediately at the bar and hung my stuff on the bag hook. Take my money please, we'll take a soda, dozen oysters, combo panroast, and 1.5 Lbs of crawling crab legs. Food slowly came out 1 by 1 and my goodness so refreshing and tasty. However, the panroast for some reason tasted thicker than usual with lots of veggie bits, not the best,so hopefully better next time.

    All the items they serve.

    Service is always wonderful! Ambiance is calm and relaxing. Decided to try their classic clams casino which never disappoint. The yummy breading on top with butter sauce was delicious. My husband always enjoys their oyster on the half shell. Definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner as it never fails to please our palates.

    Lobster Roll, chips, and cole slaw
    Michelle N.

    Been wanting to try a lobster roll since I stay at SouthPoint often and have only tried their white clam chowder, which is really good. The lobster roll was made lobster salad-style as opposed to the lobster, mayo, butter style I usually prefer. But the flavor was good and the roll was nice and crunchy. The cole slaw was crunchy and tasty. But the house made chips really put it all together for me. They are lightly seasoned and just paired so well with the roll. I'd get it again; but there are other things I want to try, so we'll see.

I showed her the confirmation email I received from ChowNow, and she asked another employee to help. Both ladies were very nice and tried to figure it out, but they still couldn't locate the order. I then showed them my bank account, which showed the payment as pending. The older employee told me that because it was pending, the payment probably didn't go through and that I would need to purchase the food again. I explained that a pending payment does not mean the payment failed. I just left Walmart and my purchase to Walmart was still "pending." They called the owner on the phone , and I was told that I would need to purchase the food again. Even after she too a picture of my bank statement so she could send it to the owner. At that point, the older employee decided to call ChowNow customer service herself. They confirmed that my order had gone through, and while she was on the phone, they sent over the order confirmation. I showed her the confirmation, which stated that my food would be ready at 2:05 PM. Even after that, I was told the kitchen still hadn't received the order and that they had to wait for it to come through before they could make it. I completely understand that technical issues happen, but I don't think it's reasonable to put the customer in the position of having to prove that they actually placed and paid for an order. I placed my order at 1:13 PM and didn't receive my food until around 2:00 PM , nearly 45 minutes of waiting for a shrimp po'boy sandwich. The employees were polite and did try to help, but the overall experience was frustrating and could have been handled much better. Having to wait nearly 45 minutes, prove that my order was actually placed, and almost be asked to pay for it again left a pretty disappointing first impression.
