Have some colleagues from Texas coming over in a few weeks, I was hoping for opinions on charbroiled oysters? Already getting food requests from them. Thanks.

Mansour's or Acme Oyster House are the two best choices around. Mansour's is a little bit nicer and more expensive place than Acme.

I always thought Acme had good charbroiled oysters.

Would you invite people you work with to your house for dinner? Just joking. That would be the best solution, but its easier to take them out. Mansurs is an interesting option, I haven't been there in years.

When I want them, that's what I do. Two nights in a row, or a Saturday then Sunday while watching football.

They gone,

A sack is usually 5 good dozen or so.

Out of town guests?

For oysters an a nice dinner - Mansur's
For oysters.... And cold beer - City Cafe/ACME


Quality of food at Mansurs is far superior to the others, imo

I just called Tony's. They don't have any.

I did have some at Parain's yesterday, raw.

They are pretty good right now. Good salinity.

I agree. its the only thing I really like at City Cafe but they do a great job on them there and the oysters are always a good size. Im not a fan of Acme's though. Parrains is good but they are a bit different.

Mansur's. Sit in the bar and watch them being shucked and grilled.
