    Fish and Chips
    Jen C.

    As someone from the east coast that lived really close to the water, my expectations were initially not good for the place. I was happily mistaken. The warm bread and butter is a must. The fish and chips are abundant, flaky and well seasoned. The dipping sauces elevated it and the fries were definitely cravable. The service was super friendly checking in several times throughout our meal and offering great suggestions. The portion sizes are definitely equal to the price charged. The ambiance is a bit busy but fast moving.

    Seafood boil special
    Morgan B.

    This was well worth it. $90 (with our expedia discount) for two seafood boils, 3 oyster shooters, and a dozen oysters well worth it. We had dinner, lunch, and dinner the next day. We could have shared one and still would have had leftovers but bf was starving and said he could eat one himself. The oyster bar was bright and we sat far in the back by the bar so we could barely hear the slot machines at 9.30 at night mid week. Between 6 and 9pm it was packed. By the time we walked back after bowling it had quieted down.

    Shrimp crab and lobster pan roast rice on the side.

    Made the trek out to the Santa Fe station because I was craving the famous oyster pan roast but didn't want to wait 2+ hours at the palace station. Went around 130 on a Friday and there was plenty of seating. We ordered 1dozen oysters, the shrimp crab and lobster pan roast an extra side of rice and side of pasta. The oysters were huge but not super flavorful as the ones we have had before at the other location. The pan roast was just as amazing though I wish there was a bit more lobster. I think I would stick with the shrimp crab chicken and sausage pan roast next time. We got it mild and it didn't have a kick at all. Overall it was definitely worth the drive out. If you have kids with you, you can actually take them because there are tables.

    Santa Fe Pan Roast
    Anabelle D.

    I was craving a pan roast but didn't want to wait in line at Palace Station so we came here instead. The Santa Fe Pan Roast has crab, shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage. It was good but still not as tasty as the version we get at the other casino. It's nice not to have to wait at the other location but it's obvious why they have the wait to begin with. This location is much bigger but the pan roasts aren't as flavorful. Still a good option for something that comes close without the wait. Service was fast and friendly and our waters were refilled before they ever got to the bottom.

    I had a great experience at the Oyster Bar inside Santa Fe Hotel & Casino. The server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about the guest experience. The oysters were big, juicy, and packed with amazing flavor. Definitely fresh and well worth ordering. The little neck clams were just as impressive, especially paired with the sourdough bread. That combination alone is enough to bring me back. My only downside was the $18.99 shrimp cocktail. It felt a bit steep for the size of the shrimp. If they were large prawns, I could understand the price more. Overall, the food was very good, and I especially appreciate that this location offers a true restaurant-style setup with actual tables. No standing in line for hours, which makes the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I'll definitely be back.

    Everyone in Vegas has their favorite, goto oyster bar and honestly, there's always room for another great one. With so many options around town, each one brings something special. The Oyster Bar inside Santa Fe Casino definitely delivered on every point. My wife and I stopped in for dinner before movie night, and I walked in with a hangry wife (you know the mood ). Let me tell you... mission accomplished. By the time we left, she was happy, full, and already talking about enjoying her leftovers for breakfast the next day. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Portions were solid, service was friendly, and the wait was well worth it. Everything came out hot and tasted amazing.

    OMG rush here! Don't stand in line and wait for a table at the Fremont Street location. This location is a snap to get in. Enjoyed the clam chowder and fresh oysters! The staff was absolutely friendly and efficient

    Cucumber Martini
    Brianna M.

    The place is nice! The service was good. We love Santa Fe and couldn't believe we still haven't tried this place yet. My husband got the fish and chips and he said it was very greasy and couldn't really eat it. The fries were good though. I got the oysters on the half shell and they were huge! They give you a caddy with all the different topping options and crackers and then it comes with cocktail sauce and horseradish. Those were delicious! No grit at all. I also had to try the New England clam chowder. That was also delicious! Highly recommend! The cucumber martini was not the best bc it was not chilled very well. Almost as of the glass came out of the steamer and still hot when they poured the drink in it. But overall, it was a good experience. I would definitely go back!

    Bouillabaisse (their version is basically same as cioppino with more fish and 1 small lobster leg, for $5 more)
    Truman W.

    4 stars for the bouillabaisse ($35). It tasted exactly like the cioppino that my friend ordered. I guess the only difference to justify the $5 upcharge is the extra fish and 1 small lobster leg... you won't find the fennel and saffron in the classic French bouillabaisse. Next time I will just get the cioppino and save $5. All the seafood tasted very fresh. A large bowl like this in L.A. would easily cost $50. They also have étouffée, gumbo, pan roast but those are thick stews with heavy flour and butter -- not for me. Santa Fe Station is mostly unknown to tourists, so their Oyster Bar is rarely crowded like the more famous Palace Station. This is one of Vegas' best kept foodie secrets.

    New England or Manhattan Clam Chowder
    Row P.

    Oyster Bar inside the Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino is a pretty legit spot for seafood, salad, New England or Manhattan Clam Chowder, cocktails, beer, wine and drinks. I like the bar seating and table seating that is available. Atmosphere is nice. It is my second time here and for my Fiancé many. I have to say it was another enjoyable dining experience. Ana was great! Also the Chefs on duty were great they were active on the floor, at the bar seating area, helping the staff and friendly with the guests. My absolute fave is their Pan Roast. I really like that I can choose the chicken and andouille sausage only Pan Roast with steamed rice. The Pan Roast was made perfectly the stew was rich and creamy. When we mentioned we were sharing the Pan Roast it was served in two separate bowls which was awesome. We also had a cup of New England clam chowder, fish and chips, calamari and a bread basket. The sauce caddy had a good selection of hot sauces, etc. We liked everything we ordered. So good!

    oysters (blue points) on the half shell
    Stefan R.

    We had a decent comp today and rather than going to the charcoal room, we decided the oyster bar sounded good since we hadn't been there in awhile. We were seated right away and Shauna was our server. We ordered a dozen blue point oysters... not bad, but really kind of small. But tastier (at least to me ) rather than the standard gulf oysters which may be neater, but don't have the briny taste of east coast oysters. We ordered the $1.99 bread basket (a small baguette sliced) to me that is something that I feel should be included with the meal, but I get the fact that it adds to their food cost, but still..... Entrees.... I had the linguine and clams (white) and my dining companion had shrimp scampi. Both decent size servings of pasta, mine had four little cherry stones as a garnish and a decent amount of chopped clams. The pasta was al dente and there was plenty of broth, but sadly we didn't hang bread left since the small sliced baguette didn't last long. My dining companions scampi was decent, fairly large shrimp and a decent amount of pasta. All in all, pretty good, very good server helped with our thoughts about the meal. A negative to me is the fact that the oyster bar does not do a military discount.

    White Sangria
    Taelor J.

    I'll start this off by saying maybe I just went on a bad day. I have heard nothing but good things about the oyster bar for years. My grandmother , who is a huge gumbo fan stated they had the best in the city. When I tried it, I was not impressed. It actually tasted more like curry than gumbo. My spice level was a 5 but tasted more like an 8 to me, I could barely get through it. The oysters were delicious and very fresh. The sangria was light and fresh as well. The server was very nice and the atmosphere was good considering it is in the middle of a casino. I will definitely be back to give them another chance at the gumbo.

    John P.

    Had dinner here and weren't impressed with the Jumbo Shrimp platter since the batter on shrimp was thick and greasy, and we ended up discarding the batter. The Clam Linguine we ordered on the otherhand was very good and loaded with clam pieces. Of course, the warm sour dough bread was also great (please note bread is not complimentary and is an item you have to order on the side). The service was a little disappointing since our server was not very personable and a bit impatient. She also forgot to bring me a tea refill at end but brought the check instead. Overall, we didn't think the price was worth it and our experience was just ok.

    Ask the Community - The Oyster Bar

    Do they have an oyster happy hour?

    Can you make reservations?

    Is this affiliated with the famous oyster bar in palace station casino?

    Two Oyster Bars are located in Stations Casinos. The third one listed is in the Hard Rock hotel but I would believe they are all related.

    I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

    I absolutely loved the Pan Roast Signature Plate! I ordered Level 6, and every bite was packed with…read moreamazing flavor--you just can't stop enjoying it! The spice level was perfect for me. Level 6 has a nice kick while still allowing you to fully enjoy all the flavors. Level 10 is the spiciest option if you're looking for more heat. The unlimited white rice and sourdough bread were the perfect additions to the dish. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Tip: Make sure you arrive with enough time, as there can sometimes be a wait to be seated. It's definitely worth the wait!

    Accommodating my daughter's recent & voracious obsession with crab legs, we tried Crab 'n Spice on…read moreW. Lake Mead about week ago. We arrived for an early dinner --4:30-5p, & were seated promptly --about 5 min., as it was not too busy yet. The vibe was welcoming & friendly, & the ambience very casual & chill, in contrast & irony with the price point for most entrees. This is not meant negatively though: everybody knows fresh seafood is not cheap! Our server was upbeat & informative, explaining the structure of the menu & the all you-can-eat options. Unfortunately, that's where the positive feedback ends. We both opted for the AYCE snow crab, which is served in 1 pound portions in plastic bags. The crab clusters are swimming in whatever sauce is chosen to accompany the legs, of which there are several. You also pick a couple sides with each bag. For my 1st round, I chose the Cajun coconut sauce. Daughter chose the garlic lemon. The sauces were very rich, greasy & salty. There was too much of it, but also, the delicate flavor of the crab was completely dominated & overwhelmed by it. Butter seems to be the 1st ingredient in the sauces; I don't normally complain about butter... but it was SO much, & again so salty. Crab legs are a delicacy that do not require any condiment other than lemon & butter, in my opinion. We could've asked for the crab legs plain. They probably allow that right? But there is no simple lemon/butter option We didn't finish our 2nd bags for these reasons. I felt like I had consumed a stick of butter, & the flavor of the crab legs was lost in the sauce. I started to feel a bit queasy. For that 2nd bag, I chose the "all in" sauce, which is a mix of all the sauces. It wasn't distinguishable from the Cajun coconut. Regarding the sides, I chose corn & sausage w/ the first bag. (They are thrown in to the bag with the legs & sauce. ) Immediately, I knew the corn was a terrible choice. It was water-logged, & covered in sauce. yet flavorless. Over boiled. The sausage was OK: there was exactly 1 bite. We had fries & rice also which were served separately--not in bags. The rice was plain & boring, but that's steamed white. In this context, it was better served plain because again, the overwhelming sauce with the crab legs was more than enough for the palette. The fries were tasty: Crispy & had good flavor. Our service was attentive at first, but became a bit lax eventually. Nothing too bad though.... We had to ask to have our bucket, (for the shells & trash that accumulates during the messy feast) which was overflowing, emptied. I also had to flag down a server for refills on our drinks. It is worth noting that the first round of drinks,, (water for my daughter, Diet Coke for me) was fine: Water tasted good,, & both drinks were cold & refreshing.. My Diet Coke had adequate carbonation, which is not always the case at restaurants! Upon her first sip of the 2nd glass of water, my daughter's face scrunched up, & she looked appalled. She said, " Mom, taste this water. Something's wrong with it. It doesn't taste right. It's gotta be tap water or something...." So I did. I've lived in Vegas for 30 years & I've had all kinds of water here, including the city's tap water, though I don't consume it regularly. This was worse than any tap water I've tasted in any city. I don't think it was tap water--at least not the kind that comes out of my tap at home. I don't know what it was. Dirty dish water or dirty fish water? It was not consumable. We asked for a replacement & received drinkable water once again. We both decided we would not return to Crab 'n Spice. The water was a one-time fluke I'm sure. Even though the service fell off a bit over the course of the meal, it was not below-average, & I liked the friendly server. There's only one reason we will not be patronizing the restaurant again: Sauce. Too much. Too greasy. Too salty. The check was a bit more than most everyday family-style restaurants, but it was not unreasonable considering we both had the "AYCE" crab legs. In fact, it was about the same as what we would've paid for 2 entrees & side almost anywhere. So price is not a factor in not going back. We had a good time and don't regret going. We had to try it out. Based on the crowd that was there by the time we left, we must be in a minority in not savoring the saucy meal style. I would have given 3 stars but the nasty water served to my daughter took away a star.
