The lobster roll was scrumptious! Nice atmosphere. The short wait for a table was worth it.

Loved it! Went solo, left with a new friend! The oyster happy hour is worth it! I had a dozen oysters, a Hugo spritz and the fish dip! They give a sample of the fish dip, or did that day, and you will want more promise! I don't temper my waitresses name but it was her first day, and she had the window bar and she nailed it! Good foot, good people, good time! read more

I came here with a friend ,on a busy Tuesday afternoon,it looks like a rush hour for lunch. Greeted upon immediately after walking through the front door. Tables are filled quickly but serviced fast. Food comes out hot and fresh. Dining area is a bit loud during lunch. We ordered the cheddar hushpuppies( soft and melts in the mouth) and nola grilled gulf oysters (savory;garlic butter,herbs, parmgiano-regiano, pecorino romano,crusty bread) for our appetizers. We loved the nola grilled oysters it is so fresh and delicous. We decided to try a platter of different kinds of oysters. My favorite is the sweet jesus( Maryland oysters ;sweet and clean,less salty). Also tryed a dozen of the happy hour barcat oysters from Chesapeake Bay Virginia ( meaty texture;salty to sweet finish). The most fresh tasting oysters I've tasted in the east coast. They shuck the oysters for you too. For our main plate we both had the charleston shrimp burger(housemade shrimp pattie,lettuce,tomato, charred lemon caper tartar sauce, brioche bun). The shrimp burger is amazing!!!!The best seafood burger I've ever tasted on the east coast. I would recommend 10/10. The photo can be deceiving, quality of the shrimp pattie is unmatched on the east coast. Overall,this restaurant is excellent for fresh seafood.There is more seafood menu items other then oysters and shrimp,looking forward for our next visit!!!! read more

So the wait was 50 minutes on a Saturday evening. We got called earlier which was a plus. The food, we ordered char grilled oysters and New England Clam Chowder. The oysters were super hot, right off the grill, and good. I mean for SC it was good. New Orleans definitely does it better, I'm just sayin. The clam chowder, I've had better. Drinks - Lemon drop. It was cool. Our server was super cool, attentive, and pleasant. Thx Izzy! Oh, we were given a sample of the smoked fish dip. Mahi fish smoked in-house. It was EVERYTHING! But for the fact that I had my mind set on the char grilled oysters I definitely would have ordered it. Oh well. Next time. My mom ordered the key lime pie for dessert. She said "it's good." This is the only picture I was able to take because I'm always hungry, so no pix. read more

Oysters done right! Shucked by the owner/manager himself! Service with a smile and the freshest seafood you can get this far from the coast. Nice patio vibe and a full bar to care for your desires. read more

The Jones Oyster - Chefs choice oysters - Beverage Store Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I had a very pleasant lunch here yesterday afternoon. I informed the hostess that I was new and she made sure to let me know about their different features and explained how the oysters are available by flavor profiles. Very helpful. It's a nice atmosphere, busy, but not too busy. Felt like the kind of place you'd like to hang out after a hard day's work downtown. I kept it simple. I got a half-dozen oysters on the half shell - the chef's choice for the day. The food preparer was friendly and explained the lineup of oysters on my dish. It was just a nice overall experience. I bragged about them to some of my coworkers who live in the area. The next time I come over, if I have a chance, I'd like to revisit and try some more of their menu. A lot of the stuff I saw coming from the kitchen looked amazing. read more

Fresh oysters in downtown Greenville! Happy to find this little spot. We were so hungry and wanted some good seafood. We were seated inside. Loved the giant windows. Such a beautiful day! We started off with 1/2 dozen of oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Love that we were given a complimentary sample of the fish dip. So good! We loved the oysters too. Since we were so close to happy hour, we got another 1/2 dozen when happy hour started (2pm - 5pm). For lunch, my husband ordered the fresh grilled mahi sandwich with asparagus. I ordered the oyster po boy with seasoned fries. Both meals came with cole slaw, which I loved! My husband thought it was too dry. I don't like were Cole slaw so it was perfect. Definitely a preference thing. Both our entrees were great. My husband's sandwich was so delicious. I stole a bite. Highly recommend! Service was good. Our server was kind. No complaints! read more

The lobster roll (Manhattan) is to die for!!! We did pick up because the wait was hefty, but even with waiting, the food (including the fries) were still tasty! The service was great, and it was overall a chill vibe! I only gave 4 stars because of the slaw... that needs to be reworked in my opinion and then everything is chef's kiss! read more

Always enjoy going to Jones. I have never gotten a bad oyster there and I get them every time. Tried several menu items. Shrimp burger and shrimp Louis are my favorites. Love the fish dip.

Love this place. Great food, great service, fun atmosphere. Everything we ate was outstanding. Will be back for sure.

A true oyster bar... Great casual friendly service Fun karma and atmosphere Food was just as I hoped ...excellent and straight forward Right in heart of GVL. Went on a weeknight parked right in front, sat at the bar had a fabulous time. Go now! read more

Just an outstanding meal. The service was superb. The ambiance is great, reminding me of some seafood places in Maine. It's busy and may be loud, but that simply proves that it is good. They don't take reservations so plan accordingly. They will serve you the "bar" outside. People were sipping drinks and eating oysters outside as we waited. We struck up several conversations with people outside and really enjoyed waiting (believe to or not.). We ordered a beer and wine and enjoyed our friends who were eating with us. The seafood was excellent, fresh and prepared with expertise. The oysters were perfect! Definitely a go to seafood place in Greenville. read more

Came in for dinner on a weeknight, getting there right around 6PM they were pretty busy, but since it was just me, I got a seat at the bar. Service the entire stay was excellent and very attentive! They have a nice wine list, both by the bottle and by the glass; as well as a decent list of cocktails. They had some interesting items on their seasonal menu, like the corn bisque, so I started with a bowl of it. The serving looked great and tasted pretty good. Next up was the entrée and since the fish of the day was sablefish, I opted for it blackened in a sandwich with fries. When the sandwich came out, the fish was broken into two large chunks, which made it tough to eat on a sandwich without it falling apart. The bun and sauce was really good, so was the fish. The fries were soggy, like they needed to be par fried and then fried before service, but the flavor of the seasoning was really good on them. Overall, it was a nice visit. I liked the food, even if the fries and sandwich weren't served well. I'd most definitely return and can see why it's a popular place. So much of the food I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. read more

4.5 Great small but very fresh seafood place. They were out of most of the raw oysters . However we tried the baked oysters .... delicious and don't forget the bread in buttery sauce. Amazing! Fish (Catch of the day) Cobia sandwiches.. fresh tasty tender and amazing. . Also i dont like hushpuppies.. but theirs are amazing hot and fresh. Service was good. Only " bad " thing was smell of cigarette smoke from people waiting for a table.. this smoke filtered and diffused through the first two rows of seated patrons. (Note windows to the street were open as this was a warm evening ( We will still go back but hope management can adjust smoke in some manner. read more

We just happened by this place. It was quaint, small place so it fills up quick. They were nice and we sat at the bar for lunch. The bar tender was very friendly. The food was so flavorful. Being from New England the whole belly clams were on point. Crispy with no sand and a French bun; how it's supposed to be served! I'll be back for that!!! The clam chowder was creamy and full of clams and potatoes (diced nicely and small). The oysters were cooked to perfection with garlic and butter and cheesy topping. Freshly fried potatoe chips and coleslaw was plain, the way I like it. Bon appetito! read more

I was recently passing through Greenville and decided to take in a leisurely lunch. We got lucky and picked this fine establishment. They have a fun, casual, yet upscale interior. A full bar, excellent wait staff, and a fine raw bar with varied seafood menu are all available here. I had the Charleston Shrimp burger and my friend had a fabulous lobster roll. The food was amazing and fresh. They even run a happy hour half shell oyster time starting at 2:00, which was a fantastic value. read more

The Jones Oyster - Happy Hour Oysters - Beverage Store Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Stopped in Greenville for a night while on our way to Charleston. We decided on this restaurant for dinner. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. We tried both the Maine and Connecticut Lobster Rolls, both very tasty. My mother loved her grilled red snapper. Oysters were perfect. Ambiance is a little bright for dinner, but it makes sense for the type of establishment this is. Wait time was 20 minutes, so we stopped in to Connolly's next door for a drink and they texted us when our table was ready. Very satisfied! read more

The Jones Oyster Co. is probably the best seafood I've had in Greenville. Perfect for a quick bite with a friend or partner and then go for a stroll downtown as it is central to everything. Very kind and speedy service, the waiters are very friendly and knowledgeable of their menus. I came here for a birthday lunch with my boyfriend and the food was absolutely amazing. We opted for a mix of oysters and dip as an appetizer and I had a lobster roll with chips as the entree. The ambiance is also super clean and fresh with seating by the window to people watch. Overall super tasty, delicious, and fresh seafood, we will be back here! read more

Been here a couple times now, and I haven't been disappointed yet. I recommend the clam chowder, charbroiled oysters, and lobster roll. The crab rice leaned overly salty with all the bacon, and the shrimp burger was so-so. We sat at the bar, and service was attentive, friendly, and engaging. Loved watching all the chefs cook and smelling all the smells! This is a very popular spot, so the wait may be a while but certainly worth it! read more

Awesome all around place. We were in town from Kansas City and it was great to have this fresh of fish. You could tell the difference. I had the lobster roll which was phenomenal and so did my wife.

We went to this restaurant twice during our trip to Greenville. The food and service was good both times. My husband ordered a dessert cocktail today and when it was brought to the table, the glass was half-full and very unappetizingly presented. He brought this to the waitresses attention and she said she thought it looked fine. It was $14.00 and looked like a dirty glass someone had already slurped out of. We sent it back and asked for it to be topped off and the bartender brought it back in a smaller glass with a smirk on his face. We realized right away what he had done and we were surprised that he had not made it right. I realize they do a lot of business and one review is not a big deal to them, but I wanted to recount our experience so patrons who enjoy nice cocktails know to expect skimpy drinks that look unattractive when choosing this restaurant. read more

Food, service and ambiance, everything gets a 5/5! A very popular seafood place in Greenville, the restaurant is cute and fills up very quickly. If you do not come for a late lunch or early dinner, expect the wait to be long, especially because they don't take reservations! We tried the restaurant mid-week but it was still pretty busy. We were lucky to get the last table. We were party of 3 adults and a child. We ordered two appetizers, the hush puppies and the smoked Carolina fish dip. We also ordered three Pull and eat shrimp plates and a dozen grilled oysters. The appetizer is served with crackers and is just the right amount of crunch, fish, etc. the shrimps had a deliciously delicate flavor. I really enjoyed them. The hush puppies were cooked perfectly, and so were the oysters which tasted perfect with Parmesan on top accompanied with bread. This place is a must try if you are in Greenville. The next time I visit, it'll be the first restaurant on my list! read more

Best place for oysters in Greenville. It's worth the wait. The Jones Oyster Co. shucked me right outta my socks. Walked in expecting a casual seafood fix--walked out wondering if I could legally marry a grilled oyster. The NOLA Grilled Gulf Oysters? Smoky, buttery, and borderline seductive. The mahi-mahi spread + hush puppies combo? Let's just say if it were a band, I'd follow it on tour. Service was next-level friendly--one of our crew had mobility issues and they handled it with such kindness (plus a surprise dessert that made us feel like VIPs at a coastal seafood Grammy party). Heads-up: no reservations, so expect a wait. But honestly, I'd camp outside for this place like it's 1999 and they're dropping concert tickets. 11/10--will be back, and probably writing love poems to their oysters in the meantime. read more

A great spot! Food is consistent, service is prompt, and the menu isn't fussy at all. The only downside is longer wait times as you can't make a resy in advance. The crab fried rice was amazing! The flavors complimented each other well. Loved the oyster varietals from west to East coast selections. The vibe here is laid back, but you could easily turn this into a date night if you wanted to. read more

South Carolina has some great places to eat. If Greenville is in your plans, make time to this spot. I drove by on a previous visit and vowed to have a meal on my next trip and was not disappointed. The focus is obviously on oysters but other items on the menu stand out. Having spent time in the northeast, soft shell crabs must be done right and TJO done it right. The crabs were seasoned well and the fries were yummy. Seating is tight so be prepared to wait...the food is THAT dayum good... read more
