Park House on the market.

Oddly my thread was deleted? Why? It says duplicate thread? What is the duplicate?

Don't know what happened to the list, but I guess we can just sort of post them here. Who knows? I figure we are losing 50-60% of our restaurants. To be honest, they aren't very good anyway, I will miss some.

The original oyster house is still going strong. And quite frankly that’s all that matters.

The other restaurants are good if you are constipated. Especially hambones. Poor quality food and liquid gut rot as a result.

Oyster House is another place that’s more nostalgic than good.

What is good at the original oyster house? They don't have "oysters", so what is good there? It is garbage? Do you live in the area? I think you don't really.

They most certainly have oysters. I enjoy their Maryland crab cake and fried fish. They have been in Pittsburgh for 150 years and made it through the changes downtown even through the good times and when it resembles skid row. I think you need to get out more. You should also be a little nicer on here. Most people aren’t sympathetic, but I respond to your posts where it is just you talking to yourself. Until erieguy feels the need to have the last word on my response this thread had zero responses.

I live in Lawrenceville but I’m looking at surrounding communities to make a move. I’m not overpaying for old dated garbage.

They have some breaded oyster. That thing is probably some frozen item from Sysco or whatever. It isn't like they are shucking oysters there. Maybe they have an okay fish sandwich or something.

I've been there many years ago. I was looking for oysters and assumed they had them, but they don't have fresh ones.

Funny how you say, "you need to get out more" and then you claim I am unfriendly. Got it.

Nobody better mess with the Oyster House. Ten generations of O'Connor's and Caligiuri's have eaten there...!

Heck I saw Frankie Capri do a show there a couple years ago. Awesome musician!

Having been to the Oyster House on more than one occasion, nostalgia and “because historical” are mostly the only things going for it. Same went for the “O”.

I don’t know anyone, other than those looking for a lot of food cheap, late at night, saying “we have to go to the O to eat because the food is so good.”
