Wednesdays are officially St. Rich's oyster days. Get 50% off on their west coast oysters. Absolutely delicious. The bbq shrimp is nothing like it sounds, it's a deeply rich spicy curry shrimp sauce. Incredible. Excellent service as always.
St. Roch has been on my Raleigh dining list for a while, and after finally stopping in for happy hour, I can see why it has such a loyal following. We started with 3 dozen Daily Happy Oysters, which at $9 per half dozen. The Southern Salt oysters were incredibly briny. I don't mind a salty oyster, but these crossed into overwhelmingly salty territory and masked some of the nuanced flavors I usually look for. The snacks, however, were absolutely spot on. The Crawfish Hushpuppies arrived piping hot with a crisp exterior and tender center, loaded with crawfish flavor. The Crispy Frog Legs were equally impressive--perfectly fried, wonderfully seasoned with tom yum spice and vadouvan, and paired with a Vietnamese mayo that tied everything together beautifully. To wash it all down, we enjoyed a few beers, including a crisp pilsner, a refreshing wheat beer, and a local IPA that paired nicely with the oysters and fried snacks. Service deserves a special mention. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. They kept the oyster trays moving and made sure drinks never sat empty for long. Overall, St. Roch delivers a fun oyster bar experience with happy hour pricing, creative snacks, and top-notch service. If the Southern Salt oysters had been a little more balanced, this would have easily been a 5-star visit.
Service was top notch. They deserve a place on the triangle's Michelin guide just for the service alone. We tried many dishes on the menu and price wise they were very reasonable. My group was satisfied with our drinks too. The salmon dish could use more salmon and less potato. We didn't try any oysters since we went on a very hot day so were a bit worried about food safety but it was unsurprisingly cool on the inside.
I was super excited to add a visit to a Michelin recognized restaurant to a work trip & St. Roch did not disappoint! Excellently inviting & attentive service. Beautiful bar that encourages enjoyable interaction between diners and oyster/bartending staff. Phenomenal menu with a broad array of seafood options. Deciding that I wanted a bit of everything, I opted for the fried seafood platter--excellently seasoned, perfectly crisp, & intriguingly presented--and the beignets. Look forward to checking them out again on future visits!
This little spot is tucked away on Wilmington St. it's small but quaint. They even have seating in the window if you're a people watcher it's perfect. It's dimly lit perfect for date night, also for a family dinner or work dinner. They have a bar and happy hour. We arrived just in time with 15 min left in happy hour so we ordered 3 orders of oysters. Dressed them up. They are the only place I have been that charges for the dressings (horseradish, cocktail sauce and the mignonette). .50 each. They also come with fried Saltines, they are so yummy. We ordered the Tuna (it's raw). Which I don't mind at all, but this tuna was a no for us. We never send food back but this one went back. It didn't have any taste. Idk it was off. We had the Pork Belly Cracklins this was amazing and the best thing we had. The Cracklins were good and the pork belly was nice and sticky. The Pomme Frites were good and that garlic aioli was the best. And it was my birthday they gave me an order of Beignets with a candle. They were cooked fresh and so good. They are a must have and if you're missing New Orleans Beignets this is your best bet!
Went here to celebrate my friend birthday m. We arrived at 5:45 and we were promptly seated! They have happy hour oysters from5-6p. Our waitress Bree informed us and we started off with 24. They were so fresh, and delicious. What I did find odd was that they charge for cocktail sauce, the horseradish and the mignonette sauce. If anything they should charge for those fried saltines they provided. Those crackers were so good! They could sell them! It's a nice restaurant and they do have outside seating but the way this heat has been lately, we ate inside. We also had the pork belly which was very tender and flavorful. We also ordered the tuna, but we didn't care for it, and Bree removed it from our bill. The fries were also good, nice and hot and the sauce they serve with it was the best! Ohhh and then they brought out the beignets for my friend birthday and they were also good! The bathroom was clean, and I appreciated the flossers in the bathroom. We would definitely go back!
Continued excellence! Our fabulous server was very helpful and friendly. We started off with some great, perfectly shucked oysters. We don't like them briny, and the ones the shucker selected delivered on that! I chose the Lox Latke, two foods from my childhood. WOW! A crispy latke with some deliciously flavorful smoked salmon on top--very creative and definitely a super dish. My wife got the Shrimp and Grits, always consistently good. Glad we made it over here after touring Artsplosure.
In town for "bidness" and popped in to St. Roch for happy hour 1/2 priced oysters. I enjoyed three varieties from Washington State, paired with Roch's homemade crackers. For the main course I chose the menu for "Raleigh Restaurant Week." I started with three NC oysters. They were very good. The next course was the "No bullshit" salad. The salad was so fresh (greens come in weekly from a farm in SC) with the champagne vinaigrette and goat cheese (I honestly could have added a protein and stopped there). The final course was rice and beans with shrimp and andouille sausage. Wow! Amazing dish, seasoned to Perfection and so filling. Run, don't walk to St. Roch--Wednesday night 1/2 prices oysters!!
Let me get straight to the point, St. Roch is terrific! The restaurant interior has a relaxing, classy vibe to it. It had that perfect noise level where it doesn't feel hushed, but it's not so noisy that you can't hear your date across the table. Also our server was both attentive and extremely helpful. She had an air of confidence and knowledge about the menu and could offer up an explanation for whatever questions we had, but also was not overbearing about imparting her knowledge like some waiters can be. "Enough, enough! What about the food?!" The food was TOP notch. We started with an arancini which came as one large shareable portion instead of several pieces to divvy up. It's perfect for a date night. And it was possibly the best arancini I've ever had. It might have been the highlight of the meal for me. We both then followed that up with seafood platters which were also top notch. Easily some of the best seafood I've had in this city. I'm tempted to get the same exact order next time I go, but I really can't wait to try the red beans and rice dish which has andouille sausage in it. This is now one of my favorite Raleigh spots and I can't wait to go back.
I made a reservation for Sunday night for two people with Resy. They do require a credit card and will charge a no show fee of $25 per person. We were seated promptly once arriving. The food and drinks were so good. I got the Harvest mule to drink. I really liked the pumpkin spice and ginger flavors in the drink. We started with the boudin arancini and wow! I didn't expect it to be one giant arancini, but it was delicious. It had a nice kick and was like nothing I've had before. For my main entree, I got the calabash platter with fried shrimp. I don't like fried pickles and they let me get an extra hush puppy instead. The fried shrimp and fries were both great. I liked the aioli with the fries. The one miss for me was the hush puppies. They were kind of dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. Service was fantastic. Our main waitress came around often enough, and other staff came around to clear things/check on things too. All around this is a great place and I will definitely be back to try more!
Oysters are absolutely amazing here! Especially the cooked ones! Although we had a lot of the raw as well. The vibe overall was awesome and trendy. The service is the reason this is a 4 star instead of a 5. Right off the bat, the waiter basically said we take your whole order at once and we will bring it out accordingly. It was very much a "we are too busy for you" message, this was a business dinner: so thankfully the food far exceeded the service, however, I'm Not sure we will be doing another work event here. But I cannot say enough about the oysters. I recommend start here with a drink and oysters... and find dinner elsewhere.
St. Roch is still so good. The food never misses, the bowls are always soo yummy and filling. Staff are always super friendly and patient as well. Even though it was cooler I sat in the window which I love because it feels like a little nook. I'll always return and recommend even if parking for anything in that area is crazy lol..
I came here specifically to try their NC blue crab claws! This is on the appetizer menu. Their menu is well documented and clearly showed what was gluten free and what wasn't which is always a plus! The staff was very friendly and as I was in town for business and dining alone I sat at the bar for convenience. I ordered the appetizer and a drink. The vibe was very fun! The bar was beautiful and was very fun to people watch. Now onto the food, take this review as a single item review rather than a full establishment review. Honestly, I was disappointed in the flavor composition of the crab claws. The menu description says that the dish has "black garlic vinaigrette, scallion, and crispy chili oil". The dish was overcome by the vinaigrette, the claws were swimming in it so much that the flavor of the crab meat was totally lost. That was not ideal for me and frankly wish that they would have let the crab really shine through.
The fries were crispy, fresh, and absolutely delicious,we really enjoyed them! The fish dip was fresh, and the smoky flavor was perfectly balanced. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Walking into the restaurant felt like stepping into New Orleans. The atmosphere is beautiful and full of character, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because a dog was allowed to walk through the restaurant to access the outdoor seating area. While I understand restaurants have different policies, I personally wasn't comfortable with that. Overall, though, the food and service were both excellent, and I'd definitely return. read more
2025: Still a go to for Oysters, dinner, drinks and brunch. Don't miss out on the Blue Claw Crabs 2021: A cool vibe for some "dope things" (a section on the menu). I wish I would have found this location earlier for brunch! The food is great and flavor profiles that are not common around Raleigh. True New Orleans style. The Cajun breakfast is all of the things that you would expect- the sweet and the savory with homemade Boudin. The coffee is sever with Rock sugar and cream and the service was fantastic! Had some oysters which almost all had some lucky crabs! read more

I met family here for a wonderful happy hour in downtown Raleigh last month and it was absolutely amazing. From the stunning, upscale decor to friendly and knowledgeable service, to (of course) absolutely fresh and fantastic oysters for an amazing price...my only regret is I live almost 3000 miles away and can't go more often! We started with cocktails and a giant tray of oysters (served with all the accompaniments), and ended up loving them so much we ordered a second round. The entire experience was flawless. My only recommendation is to get there early, as there was a line to get in only a few minutes after they opened. If you're looking for a good happy hour in Raleigh, and you love oysters, definitely stop by! read more

Service was great. I sat at the bar and I had four different people come by to check on me. Came specifically for the oyster happy hour which is a good thing cause they were serving a prix fixe menu that night aside from the bar menu. It was odd for a Wednesday night so I wonder what was up with that. No worries cause like I said I was only getting oysters. Got a quick seat at the bar. Oysters were a great deal - 1/2 dozen for $9. Odd that they charge extra for all the fixings like the cocktail sauce, horseradish and mignonette sauce but it was just $0.50 each. Odd but not a deal breaker. Again maybe I had high expectations but the oysters were just mediocre. The saltine crackers that came with it was surprisingly good though. They also didn't have their full drink menu but the bartender was able to make me the "Hurricane." It was good but definitely not need up being stronger that I expected. I mean I have high tolerance and this felt like I had just drank at least 3-4 drinks. Good on a normal relaxing day but I had an early flight to catch so I was chugging water like krazi at the hotel and hoping I don't sleep through my alarm. All in all, I'd probably come again for the happy hour deal. Only con was I asked for separate checks for my drink since I couldn't put that on our company card and they forgot so I had to ask again. read more
I love St Roch. One of my go to spots for oysters. This time around we tried something new in addition to the oysters. We got the blue crab claws that come in a black garlic vinaigrette and chili oil. It was a flavor explosion. The crab and the garlic vinaigrette in chilli oil complement each other. Next we got the seared scallops that come with a potato pavé. Scallops were seared to a tender perfection. It was my first time trying a potato pavé and i like it. The potato with the tomato buerre blanc sauce was so delicious! Tip: Wednesdays are 50% off oysters so definitely worth going! read more

Oysters were fresh and tasty! I have tried other seafood based restaurants in the area and this one is top of the list. Service was excellent! Got greeted by the oyster shucking aficionado behind the bar while walking in and leaving. Waiters yes plural!!! They all were willing to help and take orders and be helpful. I can't say a lot of restaurants have been that customer focus. Over all layout and ambience of the restaurant was nice. The only negative was the part of town the restaurant was in. There was random homeless roaming up and down the street. People yelling and begging for money. I got to my car and a homeless guy was in the middle of a drug deal by my driver door. Raleigh officials need to better support downtown business owners and clean it up!!! read more

What a delight! I came here after a few late nights at Hopscotch and was craving some high-quality protein. St. Roch hit the spot. The restaurant boasts a clean, high-end ambiance with large windows, ample seating, and a lengthy oyster bar where you can observe the shucking process. It's energetic without being chaotic, though not really ideal for kids. Parking is limited to street parking only, so plan ahead. The oysters were excellent--though, as always, a bit pricey. On my visit, they offered three North Carolina varieties and three from the Pacific Northwest. I tried both and everything was fresh, well-shucked, and served with classic accoutrements. Pro tip: on Tuesdays, you can get six NC oysters for $9, and on Wednesdays, six PNW oysters for $15--killer deals if you're an oyster fan. For the main, I had the BBQ shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy with just the right kick of spice. The shrimp were slightly firmer than my preference, but overall, the dish was flavorful and satisfying. The real standout was the service. My server was attentive and warm, despite my being seated in a tricky spot, and the oyster shucker took the time to share his knowledge and even chat about his time on the Outer Banks--a great personal touch. Overall, I left happy, full, and energized for the day. Expect to spend around $40-50 per person, which feels fair for the quality, vibe, and service. If you're looking for a well-appointed spot for seafood in downtown Raleigh, this place is an easy recommendation. We will be back! read more

My husband and I stumbled upon St. Roch after a downtown Raleigh event, and it ended up being the perfect late-night bite. We're from Charlotte and weren't familiar with the area, but after walking around the square, we spotted a packed oyster bar a little before 8:30 p.m. and had to check it out. The atmosphere felt lively but welcoming, and the menu drew us in right away. We decided to dine in for a small bite and a cocktail or two--and we're so glad we did. Our server, Dakota, was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and helpful. He recommended the 'Gator Bolognese, a house-made rigatoni, jerk spice, and burrata for $31. I'd never tried alligator before, and I love pasta, so I was instantly intrigued. We also ordered an Espresso Martini ($16) and, based on Dakota's second rec, the Golden Elixir ($15), a cocktail made with brown butter rye whiskey, honey, bitters, lemon, grapefruit, and egg white. Our drinks and dish came out together, beautifully presented and smelling amazing. The pasta was well-executed: the alligator had a soft, almost beef-like texture with a gentle kick from the jerk spice. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, and that burrata? Creamy, smooth, and absolutely elevated the dish. Both cocktails were excellent. My espresso martini was rich, balanced, and smooth, one of the better ones I've had in a while. My husband's Golden Elixir was bright and citrusy with a silky egg white foam that gave it a light, tropical vibe. The grapefruit slice on top was a nice visual (and flavorful) touch. We shared the dish, sipped our drinks, and left perfectly full (no room for dessert surprisingly). For a totally spontaneous pick, St. Roch turned out to be a highlight of our night in Raleigh. Highly recommend for a "treat yourself" moment, a late-night cap, or a special occasion. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

The Michelin guide did not miss! This was such a great experience. We went for 50% off oyster night- one thing to do differently is to go earlier as they do run out of things later in the evening. However the food and drinks were awesome, the servers were super friendly, and would love to go back! read more

Come Shuck Me!!! This place never disappoints. Great place for a solo date, date night, or friends meet up Friday after work! Everything I've had here has been amazing! Love, love the oyster happy hour (5-6 pm). Tuesday oysters are $1.50 all day. You MUST try the Smoked Fish Dip with Fried Saltines, yes I said fried saltines. For brunch my go to is the Bananas Foster French Toast. Craft cocktails are divine. The service is amazing and the staff is friendly! One more thing before I go...the menu is a nod to New Orleans so "Le bon ton roule." read more
My husband and I came here on a date night. This is a great date spot but we did see several people with young kids there as well. We ordered a dozen oysters to share (main reason we went lol) and they were really good. I got the bbq shrimp and I loved it! It tasted more like a Thai curry. My only complaint was I wish it came with rice so I could have more of that gravy/sauce. My husband had the calabash which was also good. Service is really good and our waiter was great. read more
For a friend's birthday celebration - they wanted to have brunch in Raleigh. Something that wasn't the normal Briggs experience. This led one of the party members to find this location and make reservations online for Sunday brunch. From my understanding the booking was easy and no complains there. Location/Ambiance It is located near the bus station, downtown Raleigh. Parking is a little tricky, but there is a parking deck that offers 2 hour free parking within walking distance. Once you have parked - finding the actual restaurant is a breeze. Very small and quaint. You almost feel like you are stepping back in time to a New Orleans eatery/bar. The staff from start were kind and very helpful. Service First off, I tip my hat off to restaurant for their handing of someone with shellfish allergies or just allergies in general. I was put at ease when one of the first questions from our waiter was "does anyone has allergies or dietary needs I should be aware of?" YES! Thank you! Yes! Meeee lol From there the waiter came back with list of safe foods that I could have that did not have anything related to my allergies or items that would be less likely to be cross-contaminated with anything I could have a reaction to. Now, for the important part - the food Food They do take your entire order at one time, this is to ensure you have all our food passed out timely. It also (as the waiter explained) takes away from thinking about food and just enjoying your time. We did so and it did make for a very simple dining experience. We started off with a mimosas fly with fresh juices. From there as we finished our drinks, in good timing our food started to show up. We ordered: - Mimosa Party: orange and watermelon juice - Beignets (a serving of 5) - Big A** Biscuit Sammy with avocado and sausage - Banana Foster French Toast - Fried Catfish with cheese grits and eggs - Andouille Sausage with cheese grits and eggs Everything was very fresh, well seasoned, and hot. Our top enjoyable items: the beignets, the sausage, and the grits. The GRITS, the grits were so creamy and rich. But before that the beignets came out - those fried little pillows of heaven. My goodness. There is something to be said about it. Everyone at the table enjoyed them so much we ordered another to go lol I surely will tell others about this location - especially those that don't have any allergies, they will truly enjoy it. read more
We came here for the happy hour oysters! Unfortunately North Carolina doesn't have real happy hours with drink deals, so we were happy for this oyster deal. We also ordered some fries and the crab claws which ended up being my favorite bite to eat! The service here is standard and I liked the ambiance inside. It was very loud and busy though so not great for something more intimate. Also, I really appreciated all the amenities in the bathrooms!! read more

Always excellent service and fresh, delicious, well-shucked oysters! My go to cocktail here is the Of Greetings & Goodbyes. It's a nice gin cocktail that's just yummy. But of course, the reason I come to St. Roch is for the oysters, of course. They have all day happy hour oysters on Tuesdays. $9 per half dozen of chef's choice oysters is a great deal! Plus, they shuck them right way here. You don't get those random pieces of shell or muck when you eat raw oysters here. We didn't stick with just the oyster happy hour though, we had to try every type of oysters they had. Love that they have an online menu that gives you an exact description of each oyster type they have in house. They definitely go above and beyond at St. Roch and I LOVE it! Go get yourself some yummy oysters and cocktails ASAP. You'll have zero regrets. Oh and their crab claws are a tasty, slightly spicy snack too. read more

Fabulous! I've come for Tuesday happy hour and now a Saturday night, and both times were incredible. The oyster selection is amazing. It's so fun to sit at the bar and watch all the oysters being shucked. The service was fairly solid, and the hostess was so kind to snag us bar seats. Will be back soon! read more

wanted to show my family the best of the triangle and we unanimously agreed this is it! started with oysters served with the best saltines (i would order these by themselves if i could!) then followed with a round of drinks--the "sharp dressed man" was smooth and perfectly balanced, and we also enjoyed the hurricane (left) and the kentucky colonel (right). believe me when i say the dish that will keep me coming back was the "no bullsh*t salad"; perfectly dressed in a tangy champagne vinaigrette and smothered in pillowy goat cheese. my family tried the BBQ shrimp and gumbo dishes and left no crumbs. shoutout to sawyer and the hostess for impeccable and genuine hospitality :) read more

My friend and I had the most amazing time at St Roch. We had creamy espresso martinis and shared the roasted garlic oysters and the greens salad with fried oysters on it. They aren't shown in the pic because they forgot them. I snapped the pic before they came out. Everything was amazing! I can't remember our servers name because of said martinis...he was great though! read more

Ask the Community - St. Roch Fine Oysters + Bar
Are reservations necessary for dinner?
I recommend them. We made a reservation, and I'm glad we did because the place fills up fast.
What days and times can you get happy hour oysters ? I seen online Tuesday's , Saturday, Sunday's.
Tuesday’s 430pm-10pm and every other day from430pm-6pm, except on Monday’s as we are closed.
It looks like you cannot make reservations for Brunch. What kind of wait could we expect if we showed up at 11am on a Saturday?
I highly recommend this place for brunch on Saturdays. When I went it was on Saturday for a late brunch (around 1 PM) and there was no wait. Both tables and seats at the bar were available. I would expect the same for any Saturday unless there was a…
Dying to go for the oysters but I have friends that are vegan I want to bring with. Any choices for them?
Pickings are slim for vegans there! I suggest calling them. I am a pescatarian so I am aware of vegetable options too but that's a little hard there too.
Does St. Roch have outside dining?
Yes! We have a series of tables by our front door
