    Mystic Oysters

    Mystic Oysters is a little hidden gem--just a small shack with a takeout window and a few metal tables, tucked along the river near a recreational sports spot, slightly off the main touristy street in Mystic. Don't let the casual setup fool you--this place serves some seriously good seafood. With "oysters" in the name, I was surprised when I tried to order them and was told they were out. No oysters that day. But what they did have more than made up for it. The lobster roll was one of the best I've had--jam-packed with fresh lobster, served hot with butter, and absolutely delicious. Paired with a simple bag of Cape Cod chips, it was the perfect New England lunch. I also tried the clam chowder, which was the Rhode Island style. Unlike the creamy New England version or the tomato-based Manhattan style, this was a clear clam broth that really let the flavor of the fresh clams shine through. Clean, briny, and authentic. The service was friendly, the atmosphere low-key, and the food top-notch. Bottom line: Even without oysters, Mystic Oysters is worth a stop. If you're looking for authentic, fresh seafood without the tourist-trap vibe, this little shack delivers.

    Stumbled upon this stand while visiting Mystic. Learned that they harvest and raise their own oysters. The oysters were cold, shucked perfectly (no pieces of shell), and were the perfect match of briny and sweet. Small/flat cup size but beautiful shells. Speaking of shells, they had a basket to recycle your shells. These oysters were amazing and I hope to have an opportunity to taste them again!

    Loved their take on the clam chowder... real thick. Seemed like the potatoes were boiled down into a soup thickening goodness. Oysters were solid and the lobster from the rolls was super fresh.

    Friendly staff, kids enjoyed their del lemonade while my husband had a lobster roll and mama enjoyed a dozen oysters. Super fresh and perfect spot for a hot summer day!

    Fresh oysters currently priced at $24 for two dozen. I got the ones to shuck at home myself. The oysters came with some mignonette. Super fresh oysters and they're open during the winter. This is take out only. There is also a limited menu of soup to select from.

    Best lobster roll ever.

    Pretty good. Hot dog was amazing; a classic. Was not too expensive, and the staff were very friendly. Small little spot

We made the 1hr and 15min ride from Fairhaven Ma. Order was placed Tuesday for Saturday pickup with instructions of how they do it...freshly made which was apparent. We got the Spicy Yo Po Noodles, Chicken Jin Jin's and Pork buns. Pickup was easy and we took our food to Tower Hill Brewery which was 8 minutes away and had excellent beers and Seltzer. To the food...everything was excellent! Yo Po noodles stole the show, the sauce is like nothing I've ever had. Downright delicious! 2nd for us were the Chicken Jin Jin's. Probably 2 orders next time. Last in our opinion were the Pork Buns. Hear me out...I love pan fried Peking Raviolis! I order them every time I order Chinese food. These buns were delicious, with the pillow like bun. However, they are similar to Peking Raviolis, just a thicker wrapper. Will we make the trek again...absolutely! Will we make the trip again? Absolutely!

This isn't just great, quality food, this is a culinary EXPERIENCE. Never tasted anything like it and doubt I will again. If you have any second thoughts, don't. JUST GO!!

    "My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this 'n that…read moreBut with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this 'n that" (Pete Seeger) My final review of 2022 will describe the worst customer service we encountered all year. We had an errand to run in Sturbridge and figured we'd include a lunch stop in town. The Yelp app brought us to Soup to Nuts. #1) I love soup and #2) it's located inside the Sturbridge Marketplace, so we figured we'd do some shopping and browsing too. When we approached Soup to Nuts we saw a sign that said they opened at 11:00. The front door had another sign that said they opened at 12:00. Since the door was locked, and it was about 11:30, we figured we'd check out the Sturbridge Flea Market and come back. At 12:02 their front door was unlocked, and the sign announcing the 12:00 opening was gone. As we entered the restaurant, we were "greeted" by four words spoken (or more accurately snarled) in a very gruff and rude manner - "we're not open yet". Tone of voice matters, and I will look you straight in the eye and put my hand on a stack of bibles and tell you his tone was beligerant and angry (to the point of aggressive). It was beyond rude. It was shocking. So we turned around, left and never came back. Happy New Year ya filthy animal.

    This was our second visit to this establishment, I came back specifically for the corn chowder…read morebecause it's so good. I will say that on our first visit we thought the owner was initially a bit gruff as others had mentioned but we quickly realized that's not the case and he is an incredibly gracious host. We've had both the corn chowder and sandwiches here and they are delicious! Keep in mind with some reviews that people are the problem and not the establishment.

But the kind counter worker helped me thru it. Our meals were great! G ordered the Wunderkind Salad with Tuna Salad. The counter worker said it was the healthiest salad in town . G said it was one of the best salads ever. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup (finally). And I loved it -- thick, rich, and tasty. But next time... a cup of soup and a mini sandwich.

I'm driving and on a work call but all I'm thinking about is my Clam Chowder. Mmmm... Freshly shucked clams with oyster crackers! Give it to me now! I have a parking spot right in front and I'm scanning the soup board. There's no clam chowder listed? I approach the counter and ask the woman about Clam Chowder. A guy wearing a Red Sox Hat said to me, we only clam chowder on Thursday. We have Corn Chowder today. The woman behind the counter shakes her head in agreement. It's very good! I agree with them, I grab my corn chowder and head to a Tesla charging station in Rhode Island. Once I plug in the Tesla, I open my container of hot soup. The Corn Chowder is good! Very creamy and dreamy. Is it Clam Chowder? No. I kinda feel the same way when the Red Sox lose to the Yankees. So close. So close! Haha

    Great sandwiches, great soup and even better customer service!…read more We ordered online-we customized our sandwiches (the only thing I would say is that their online system could use some love, it seems a little all over the place and the customization could be a little more in depth) But despite that, we ordered sandwiches and we both ordered the loaded potato soup. We debated on tasting it when we got there and then deciding to buy it (which is actually such a great idea) But we decided that we'd just go for it and ordered the soup too. The soup was phenomenal, so flavorful and warm, it was exactly what we needed on a snowy day. Our sandwiches contained everything we had ordered and they were beautifully made, not too messy but not lacking anything either. A footlong turkey, cheese, L,T, Bacon and Mayo was around $20. My husband's roast beef footlong with L,T, mayo, pickles, peppers, and provolone was a little over $22. A little pricey but like I said before-the sandwich wasn't lacking by any means. I think the best part was walking in and every single person working greets you so warmly. They seem so thrilled to do what they do every day and that alone makes me want to come back.

    I heard about this place so grabbed a sandwich, it was $12.95 put with tax and tip was over $15.00…read more The sandwich was tasty but a little dry. I still split it with my son but he said it was small, again this is chicken breast breaded so we determine if to think it's a good value.
