Rhinehart's Oyster Bar

I've been to quite a few oyster bars, but this one is not all it's made out to be. I went with some friends on more than one occasion and it's the same every time, average at best. The wait is always too long, staff is pre-occupied with other tables (they do try, i'll giv'em that), food is alright but nothing to brag about and it's very overpriced in my opinion. I've been to places where you can get a bucket of oysters, cheaper than you can get the amount they seem to count out for every plate at this place. I guess for it being the only oyster bar in town it'll have to do. Not somewhere I would make it point to go or recommend unfortunately. Pros: Pretty good locations Cons: average food and staff more

Rhinehart's projects itself as a relaxing place to enjoy great seafood. I can get past all the writing on the wall with markers/crayons etc.., but the place was dirty. The smell (and I am not talking about the seafood, I grew up on the coast), the sticky picnic tables you sit at in the restaurant, and the ""stare down"" you receive from the ""regulars"" who were are sitting on one side of the bar in order to scope out whoever walks in, it's just a bit too nasty/creepy. The crab legs were over cooked (seemed like they were boiled and not steamed - very hard to get get out of the shell), the jambalaya was very dry and food is WAY overpriced. Save your money and your time and pass on this place. Pros: I have the freedom not to eat there again Cons: Dirty / Nasty more
