S & D Oyster Company

"Have a Boston or NYC-style oyster experience with Gulf seafood right here in Dallas: just dip into the exposed brick space of S&D Oyster Company in Downtown. Oysters on the half shell in a 130-year-old building gives that old-world feeling of the East Coast, while the extensive menu of New Orleans-style dishes transport diners into a Gulf state of mind." - Courtney E. Smith, Daniel Rockey

"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

"We’re quickly transported to New Orleans and can enjoy a good po’ boy, oysters however you’d like, and some delicious gumbo." - Courtney E. Smith

"S&D Oyster Company is an old-school spot that serves Gulf oysters in various preparations, including half shell, fried, and grilled." - Courtney E. Smith
