The Raw Bar at Island Creek Oyster Farm - Duxbury, Massachusetts

This is a gem for many reasons but the view is the most special thing about it. Layer in the fact that the food is delicious as are the drinks, and it makes for a very special place. It’s a great option for gluten free and dairy free restrictions, but you definitely need to like seafood or you won’t be able to eat much. (It is a raw bar after all…) It does have sushi bowls and kids options. The cocktails are incredible, some served over crushed ice which I love and feels like a treat. Great spot for a date or family outing (including the dog) with lots of options for seating. It can get crowded st the height of summer. We usually try to get there right when it opens or an hour or two before close to get a good table. There’s also a really nice indoor seating area with rec room vibes.

We spent the afternoon here and loved it! The fresh air and natural setting make it a great spot to unwind and grab a snack. The oysters were incredibly fresh, and the lemonade was delicious. The place itself is stunning, and they offer tours for interested visitors. Come check it out, it's beautiful! 🤩

Best experience! Great food, good vibes, had our baby with us and didn’t feel out of place! Loved it!

What stood out to me the most, though, was the sense of community. From the friendly staff to the family-owned roots, Island Creek feels less like a restaurant and more like a gathering place for those who appreciate authenticity—in both food and people. It’s the kind of place where you can tell every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the menu to the environment. They’ve managed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that pairs perfectly with the fresh, local fare.

Went here a while back, and the service was good. The oyester are some of the best I've ever had. There was a nice view of the ocean. Good beer selection, too! They are also dog friendly. This dog looks like my dog!

I'll start by saying that we had a great time! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The oysters were of course amazing, and they had some very interesting food options as well!

The thing that soured it? A 10% "admin fee" slapped onto the bill for our party of 2. The only way this is legal is if it was posted somewhere on the way in, or on the menu. I didn't see anything, but even if it was there, I go out to eat for a good time and don't expect to have to find the fine print. I wouldn't mind if the menu prices were just higher, but this fee nonsense. It just feels disingenuous and ruined what otherwise would have been a great experience.

Great place to have oysters 🦪 and a cold drink with a beautiful bay view. Bees can be annoying but they’re friendly. Facilities are nice many bench style seating.

Our server was very nice, but they don’t tell you there’s a 10% “admin fee” for the kitchen workers share of tip? not sure why you don’t just pay your workers more, but that’s besides the point. The view is fantastic, but the pricing for the quality of the food here is interesting... Roughly $60 for what is essentially just a subpar Alaskan Roll and 8 (sandy) oysters. Expected better from the high ratings, but it might be outdated. Probably won’t be coming back.
