    I almost passed on this place because it's literally a small oyster bar located outside The Charcoal Room restaurant. Luckily, there were only seven people in front of us. Now, the wait was still almost an hour. I can't even fathom standing in a longer line here, therefore we stayed. And omg. Omg! Amazing! After reading many reviews, we were tempted by the pan roast, but eventually settled on the Bouill-Roast which is a secret menu item that's revealed when you request it. The gumbo also received such rave reviews that we ordered it instead of a pan roast. We loved everything here, including the drinks. I have promised myself a return visit, regardless of the length of the line.

    This place was absolutely phenomenal. My family and I were on vacation and we didn't know what to eat. After stumbling across this spot on social media, we knew we had to try it out. Needless to say, they did not disappoint. Everything we ordered here was amazing. We had the New England clam chowder, house gumbo, seafood jambalaya, and pan roast. Everything was so delicious. For the new england clam chowder, the bowl was huge, so recommend to stick to a cup if you want a starter/appetizer size dish. All the portions in the entrees section was huge as well. I think this could feed 1-2 people, possibly even 3 people per entree. Each dish was seasoned just right and was so good. Service was amazing and they are such nice people. Only downside is there are about 18 seats so there's limited seating.

    This was my second time coming with my husband we waited a good 2 hours and of course worth the wait . Our server was Dan and he was attentive and helpful to us when ordering our food . The cook and everyone is really great and it's a great way to sit with many different people and share good food . I recommend !

    Oyster bar, I will always wait for you. Every. Single. Time. Though the wait is usually super long, I will always wait in this line and this line only. The staff is nice and genuine. Food is something I think and yearn for until I come back. The seasonal oysters are better than the big ones they got. We usually get a spice of level 6. Nothing crazy but nothing bland. Ambiance changes based on who you sit next to. It can be chill and quiet but one time, there was a loud man who was fibbing amuck. He made this intimate 16 seat oyster bar into a comedy show. So yeah, depends on who you sit with. The people in Vegas are always so interesting.

    If you're debating whether the wait is worth it... it absolutely is. My best friend and I came here in the evening after a couple of shots, so I honestly couldn't tell you exactly what time it was . We waited in line for almost 2 hours, but somehow it didn't even matter once we got inside. The second we sat down, our food came out in what felt like 2 seconds. Everything was hot, fresh, and seriously delicious. Every bite lived up to the hype. The chefs kept everyone entertained, cracking jokes and making the whole experience fun while they cooked. You can tell they love what they do, and it really adds to the vibe. The wait is definitely long, but now I understand why. Great food, great service, and an overall unforgettable experience. I'd happily stand in that line all over again!

    Came back because we loved it so much last time but we brought friends along. My friend does have a shrimp allergy sadly so the only thing he could have is the Cesar salad with chicken. He thought he might be able to eat chicken gumbo but the base uses shellfish. I decided to try the combo gumbo at level 3 and it was very delicious but still doesnt beat the pan roast. My husband finally got to try the pan roast and he loved it especially at the level 4. My other friend tried a level 7 and while that was also delicious the spiciness added up. Service was great and the ambiance was great for a weekday brunch. We luckily only had to wait 5 mins.

    Had not been here in a very long time and I had forgotten how long the wait was.I was by myself. Everyone was nice but the only problem I had was with was Nora. I had explained that I was diabetic and I saw a few single seats available and if she could seat me as I saw she pulled others out of the line after me. She said with a very rude tone--"if there was an empty seat, I would have seated you already." The food was just as I remembered and very good. I may go back again but not in the middle of the afternoon.

    Palace Pan Roast

    Literally my favorite place in Vegas to eat! There will be at least a 45 minute wait to get a seat but once you are seated the food is amazing. We waited 59 mins to sit and that's the only reason they are getting 4, if I could give them a 4.5 I would. Last time it took us 3 hours to be seated but again the food was amazing and we can back knowing the risk. Servers, even though they deal with some crazy customers asking silly questions, are quick and attentive. Had the bowl of clam chowder, only $12.99, that's amazing for the size and the taste. The pan roast was meaty and rich, we got the 4 level spice and it was great. Next time we are going to try level 6 to see just how spicy we can handle.

    FLAVOR (5/5): My mom licked her bowl clean. This place was recommended by a friend who said this is her favorite spot in Vegas. Pan Roast here was a hit. Definitely would recommend the bouillabaisse, second best was the palace pan roast, third would be the pan roast combo. Oysters were fresh as well! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): It's such a small bar seating in the hotel there's not much to look at. You can see them make your soup right in front of you with all the fresh seafood laid out. SERVICE (4/5): It's a minimum of a 3 hour wait during busy times. They're open 24:7 so you can eat at 3am in the morning if you don't want to wait. Servers were patient with us that our party size kept changing. Food came out pretty quickly! TAKEAWAYS: If you have people in your group that gamble at the tables in this casino you can ask them to ask the hosts at the gambling tables for a dining credit to eat here. It might just cover your meal. Also, I met Jimmy O Yang at this casino just casually gambling.

    Eating at 7am line..3 people ahead of me only Food: great flavors; this place always impresses me. Tastes so much better than other Station casino oyster bars. Service: amazing staff 24 hrs dealing with long lines. Worth the wait depends on the time. Ambience: in casino vibe. Bar top seating comfort setting

    Always a great spot to feed my CrAvInG of Clam Chowder whether it's 113 degrees or 49 degrees located in the Palace Station 2026

    I rarely ever wait in line. The most I do is 20 minutes. My best friend asked if I trusted her & that if we waited it would be worth it. So i told her yes & we waited what felt like eternity. & it was worth it. Oh my god it's worth it. It's bar seating & they will make the food in front of you. It's completely you and a bunch of other seafood lovers just salivating. We were all in. The next time I will come in the morning just so I can order for the rest of the day. Haha

    Riese L.

    WOW! That's where we started and finished. It's only bar seating so you have to stand in line until seats open up. We were lucky and it was only a 20ish minute wait which I heard is unheard of because of how busy this place normally is. We tried a bit of everything and the combo pan roast was amazeballs. You can choose your level of spice which makes it even better to be able to customize that. They make everything fresh right there in front of you. Service with a smile, even tho it's expected isn't always guaranteed. However our chef was miss Vee and she was spectacular. She was so friendly and made our meal that much more pleasurable. I can't wait to go back!

    Ask the Community - The Palace Station Oyster Bar

    Can order to going?

    You still have to wait in line for to-go orders!

    Do they allow oyster to go?

    Can the food be order from room service?

    Unfortunately, you have to go in person and order your food to go if you do not want to eat at the bar. If there is a line, you will have to wait your turn before you can place your order. I highly suggest to go between 7:30a-9:30a. There usually… 

    Can u reserve?

    No, you must stand in line. One thing to note is that they will seat customers in order, meaning if you're next, and have a party of 3, and there are 2 seats available, the next party of 2 will not be seated until you get your 3 seats first.… 

    Heading to Vegas next week and I will definitely check this place. It says open 24/7. Do they offer the lobster boil 24/7 as well? Their lobster boil special ends this month. I heard the best time to head over here is around 8am?

    Not sure what you mean by lobster boil? They have a set menu and everything was fresh and delicious. Everything on the menu is available 24/7. I got there at 8:30am on a Friday morning and there was no line at all.

    Is this really opened 24/7? We went on a Thursday night at 8pm and they were closed.

    They are. But they have 1 day in every month that they do general cleaning and closes early so you probably went on that day. I've experienced the same last December.

    When is the best time to dine here to avoid the wait?

    Early in the morning like about between 5 to 7am. No line....

    Saw that Chef Eze posted he is in 4:30-midnight F-Tues just wondering if this is still the schedule? Our fav chef :)

    Off Tuesday Wednesday Thursday works 330pm to midnight.

    Can a minor dine at the oyster bar?

    No they cant

    Can you order the Pan roast without the crab?

    Just like Burger King..... you can have it your way!

    Do they have happy hour?

    No. There's no happy hour. But you will be happy an hour you dine here :)

    Is there any table for patrons in a wheelchair?

    At the Palace Station Oyster Bar there is only bar seating. BUT at the Santa Fe Station hotel they have table seating that can accommodate wheelchairs.

    Is there any age restrictions for the oyster bar/ tables?

    21 years old to be in the casino , this includes the 16 seats at the oyster bar , there are no tables . (Be prepared to wait for a seat up to an hour sometimes more .) they don't have text notifications or buzzers like any modern restaurant offers… 

    How long is the wait?

    Depending on the day it could be an hour to 2 hour wait sometimes you can get in within 30 minutes to 45 minutes if you're lucky depending on what I said the time and the day weekends are really busy weekdays are a little better But it's well worth… 

    Can we order Togo?

    Typically you'd have to wait your turn in line like everyone else and when you get to the front, order your takeout.

    Is there still happy hour oysters from M-Th 5am-10am? Where in the website can I see that?

    They no longer have happy hour on oysters. They stopped that about a year ago

    I have been this oyster bar from 13 years ago? Before the write guy and the other waitress already leave! Now all the stuff change! And unbelievable bullshit serice! Maybe our Asian people help them feel so strong now! Really unbelievable respect!

    What happened? I been there last 2 times and never had issues. I'm Asian btw

    Is this place a buffet?

    This place is not a buffet.

    Best time to go for no wait?

    Like 7 or 8 AM is your best chance to grab a seat without a wait.

    What's the current take-out rules?

    You can order a meal to be eaten at the bar and also add 1 to go. You still have to wait in the line to be seated.

    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.
