    Crab grilled cheese
    Leizle A.

    Seems to be a local favorite! It's crowded at 8 pm on a Friday. They have a good selection of oysters and you can watch them shuck it at their oyster bar. They have tables and outdoor seating with balcony heaters. The staff was attentive and friendly; the service was awesome. Will definitely recommend and come again.

    Mussels
    Lilly B.

    Hopped into the oyster House on a Sunday night. A lot of the other restaurants in trolley were closed. On Sundays, they offer crush specials all day long with several flavor options. There were three different mussels that you could choose from and they were delicious! The cauliflower bites were good but could have been crispier. The burrata peach salad had black salt with was yummy but the peaches were very hard! A good bite for a Sunday night! Attentive bar tender!

    Fish and Fish N Chips
    Amie Z.

    Delicious and fresh oysters! This is a must visit if you love oysters because they're only $1/ shuck. It did take a while to come out but it was worth the wait. We also ordered the fish and chips and calamari, which were fried well! Crispy and not too oily. Atmosphere isn't too loud so you can still have a conversation. I just didn't like the chairs since they were just metal stools with no backing.

    I was craving some seafood for a birthday treat and we hadn't been to the Trolly Square area yet - TS Oyster House gave us the perfect excuse. We came for a late lunch and the place had plenty of open seating and were guided to a table right away. I would highly recommend starting with a 1/2 dozen oysters & glass of bubbly, which I did and it was the perfect pairing. The waitress was able to steer me to the briniest oyster options and I'll be back again for more. The Clam chowder is the perfect balance of creamy/potato/bacon/clam that most restaurants get wrong (too much cream, not enough bacon, light on the clams) - light enough that I wanted more! I chose the White Wine Mussel Pot - a VERY hearty serving of mussels simmered with a lightly fragrant wine & garlic sauce. Only feedback I have is I wish there was more garlic toast, but I think we all wish that. We also ordered the Fish & Chips which had an airy batter with great seasoning. Paired with Old Bay fries, it's a winner. Can't wait to come back and try more on this menu, very happy with our visit!

    Lobster Roll
    Dyamond D.

    Great option for decently priced seafood and good quality!! I had the fried pickles as a starter and they were super good. I recommend them with the ranch and aioli sauces. The raw oysters were super fresh and had the standard toppings you would receive. Definitely helped fix my craving for them. The lobster roll was also very fresh, but my main complaint was how little lobster they include (see the pictures) especially since it's a $28 roll. I took only one bite and looked and said wow where is the rest of the lobster They had great customer service and our server was super helpful. The interior is kind of small (and they only have a few bathrooms so you may end up waiting in line). There's also outdoor seating which seems like it would be favored during the warmer months. It's a nice patio area with speakers to hear the music they're playing inside. I recommend and would definitely come back if I'm in town!

    Buck a shuck oysters
    Deborah J.

    Still one of my favorite happy hour spots. You can't beat a buck a shuck! The oysters were fresh and delicious! Bartenders were on point. Place is not huge but very warm and inviting.

    Amanda K.

    Great food, good service, nice ambiance I can see where in the evenings coming here and seeing the shucking would be a neat experience. Loved the old bay seasoning on the potatoes.

    HH oysters
    Jenny W.

    Love this place for their HH $1 oysters! The oysters are fat and juicy (size of finger for comparison to the oysters). They also have different happy hour deals throughout the week. When we went on Friday it was the fish and chips. The fish and chips were also wonderful. Super crispy and fresh. We've been there multiple times whenever we're in DE. Service is also nice and fast!

    Crab grilled cheese sandwich with diced tomatoes. Delicious
    Jay J.

    The food is always amazing and I highly recommend the seafood pasta!!! But this time I wasn't super hungry because the pasta can feed atleast 3 ppl so I got the Lump crab meat grilled cheese.

    Aliya B.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the Oyster House. It's way bigger and nicer than it looks from the outside. They have 2 floors, a rooftop and an outdoor space. There are multiple bars and tvs everywhere. Unfortunately, our waitress was very distracted talking to her coworkers and wasn't the most attentive, but the food was good, and they have a great menu. We will definitely be back!

    Des R.

    Nice vibe, good food and drinks! The music was great and the crowd wasn't too old nor too young, it was pretty mixed. I would definitely return. Perhaps on a nice summer night to enjoy the outdoor section.

    Ask the Community - Trolley Square Oyster House

    Do you take Reservations?

    Yes for parties of ten or more

    We are always looking for someplace new to go .We go by there coming from Kid Shelleens parking looks like a challenge,any suggestions?

    There is ample street parking available. You may need to walk a block or two, but we can typically find parking within that distance.

    The Yelp website says you are not a handicapped accessible restaurant. Is this accurate that a wheelchair can't get in?

    I'd agree with that. It's super small and narrow with a few steps to get into so I don't see how you'd be able to get a wheelchair in. I'm sorry!

    Are dogs allowed at the outdoor seating area?

    Sorry Sean, we don't allow dogs or pets out on the patio here

We arrived at about 5:30 in the afternoon and it was already crowded. We had to park a couple blocks away, but the weather was nice and cool, so we didn't mind. There was no cover charge, despite a band playing. The band was called The Jimmies, and they played music from the 80s (A Flock Of Seagulls, Billy Idol, Springsteen, Prince, etc.). Although I didn't eat, I noticed they had food for sale (burgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc.). An extensive craft beer selection both on tap and in cans was also offered. I had the Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues brewery and the Hazy-O from Dogfish Head brewery. Both were pretty good. The place was pretty big with lots of tables. In the center were people playing corn hole. There was a sand area for kids to play (beach theme?). Once the sun went down, lights hanging from rope above us were turned on, creating a nice ambiance. For a city that doesn't have much (this came from people who live there, not me), this was a nice way to spend a Saturday night.

We will not be returning unless they accommodate more for families. There is unused space that they could easily put a child's sandpit or even some play stuff. Really disappointed we made the trip out here. We also found scrap metal in the sand area.

During our visits, we had the pan seared salmon, grilled pork chop, crab eggrolls and fried mozzarella. The salmon and pork chop were delicious! The eggrolls had a great crab flavor and a sauce that had a slight kick. There is inside and outside seating. I recommend River Rock Kitchen if you are staying at the hotel or in the area.

The food we had was fine. The mussles and frites were good, I would have thought the fries come with the sauce but they didn't. The risotto was slight malt under seasoned. The beet salad was really tasty! This resturant is always thorough when it comes to allergies. They have a hard time with the two server communication aspect. I've been here twice and both times they seemed one beat off from each other. Also for having two servers they don't check on you often enough. That could also be a communication/timing thing. (if you think someone else was there or not) we only ordered one drink because we didn't want to wait after we finished our food to order another. The drinks here are fantastic though. We dined for 2 hours and only was able to order one drink and apps. We probably would have enjoyed more but personally I didn't have to time sit any longer. I would give them one more try but 202 is a pain and this might not be worth the drive with so many comparable options of fine dining in Wilmington.
