What User likes about J's Oyster:
Just eat one of my favorite spots in Portland with an incredible lobster roll. The location is great. You can't beat it on a beautiful day as you can sit right on the water. Service is always good. Love their oysters and the adult grilled cheese. Clam Chowder is also top notch, so be sure to get at least one cup. Are we honest? You have to try the lobster roll. It is fresh and buttery and the bread is soft and tasty.... View all feedback.

What Bruce Holmes doesn't like about J's Oyster:
DISGUSTING is the word. The food was O.K. but the bar was DIRTY. When you make the mistake of trying to use the men 's room you will NEVER, EVER finish your meal. The overwhelming stench of urine coupled with the sticky floor says it all. Try to wash your hands and you find there is no running hot water. When you mention the condition to the staff they laugh and say not my job and there is nothing I can do about it .... View all feedback.
