New Orleans-style seafood, oysters, gumbo, and BBQ shrimp.
"Have a Boston or NYC-style oyster experience with Gulf seafood right here in Dallas: just dip into the exposed brick space of Uptown’s S&D Oyster Company. Oysters on the half shell, served in a 130-year-old building, give that old-world feeling of the East Coast, while the extensive menu of New Orleans-style dishes transports diners into a Gulf state of mind. Don’t skip the gumbo here, which is made with a dark roux unlike most places serving the dish in Dallas. It’s also a solid spot to land for a basket of fried seafood. If the dining room isn’t doing it for you, a hidden patio out back will make you feel like you’re dining in a courtyard in the Big Easy. S&D is open for lunch and dinner." - Courtney E. Smith
"Head to this longstanding restaurant for Creole food, with a heavy eye towards seafood — oysters specifically, obviously. Other than a dozen raw or grilled oysters, try ordering the oyster loaf sandwich, New Orleans barbecue shrimp, or a bowl of the seafood gumbo." - Courtney E. Smith
"The stately McKinney Avenue building that now houses S&D Oyster Company was originally built in the 1890’s as a grocery; in 1976, Herb and Mary Kay Story turned it into a Louisiana-influenced seafood restaurant. People still flock here for po’ boys and shrimp cocktails." - Eater Staff
"At the McKinney Avenue location we’re quickly transported to New Orleans, enjoying a good po’ boy, oysters however you’d like, and some delicious gumbo." - Courtney E. Smith
"Downtown, S&D Oyster Company is an old-school spot that strictly serves Gulf seafood; they offer Gulf oysters on the half shell, fried, and grilled. A fried Gulf oyster is especially lovely, and I tend to pair that preparation with bourbon or whiskey." - Courtney E. Smith
