"There is a definitive answer to the question of where to find the best selection of raw oysters in Dallas, and that answer is Rex’s. No other oyster bar has the daily range of this place, with multiple options from the East Coast that go way beyond the standard Blue Points or PEI found in most oyster offerings. It also has one of the best martinis in town, and nothing goes together better than oysters and a martini. The rest of the menu is full of hits — namely, its seasonal seafood dishes — including a steamer bowl (mussels, clams, crab fingers, and sausage in a hearty soup), red snapper, Chilean sea bass, crab pasta, and more. It’s not dressy here, even though the quality of the seafood makes it a bit pricey. To eat in, head to the Northwest Highway location — the one at the farmers market is more of a fresh fish stand." - Courtney E. Smith

"A Northwest Highway seafood market-and-restaurant in the Park Cities known for an excellent selection of oysters and martinis, tuna nachos, a plate of Texas redfish, and a key lime pie that makes for a light, summery finish in a casual atmosphere." - Courtney E. Smith

Must-try dish: For happy hour, Rex’s offers a three-oyster-and-a-martini for $15 deal that is a wonderful way to try raw oyster varieties you haven’t had before." - Courtney E. Smith
"We would be remiss not to mention the killer happy hour deal for a date at Rex’s Seafood. It offers a martini and three oysters for $15 from 3 p.m. until closing time Monday to Friday. Low commitment (it’s just three oysters!) and an excellent destination for seafood lovers — this spot has the greatest selection of oysters in the Metroplex. It’s a totally relaxed dining room too, so no getting dressed up. Just a chill first hang with the option to get a second round. There’s plenty of free parking out front." - Rachel Pinn
