Love it here. It is a fun place to go with friends and the food is great. Love their oysters, they always have a fresh selection of oysters. I had their lobster a few times, they however did over cooked my lobster once but took it off my bill, so it wasn’t too bad. The scallop, the mussels are amazing. I would defend recommend this place for a chill night out and I would definitely go back!
Every now and then I go through an "oyster phase" where all I think about day in and day out are raw oysters. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, having oysters to start a meal is something I may never get sick of, well...I've never done it but if only I could! And so being in the middle of one of my phases, I decided to visit Rodney's Oyster House.
We went during happy hour and the quality of the oysters are pretty nice. Lots of beer choices and the crab cakes were delish. I like how I have 4 different condiments to go with my oysters too. Will come back!
Honestly the Yaletown spot always seems too busy and a bit stuffy. The second location is a bit smaller but has the same great food and staff. If you want a solid meal and love oysters this is a must visit. (The food is great at both restaurants)

I jumped off the plane and before I could even get downtown 3 people told me this was the spot to hit if I wanted oysters. Sold.You get in and its a cool spot, small but its got a nice feel to it. I sat, had a glance at the menu, grabbed a pint and ordered a half dozen oysters. I told the waiter I would happily let him choose which ones I should try and was not disappointed. You can tell they did their homework, what I should be tasting in each oyster and where they all came from. All in I ended up having 18 oysters. The oysters came from 9 different locations and all had remarkably different and unique flavor profiles. Especially when comparing east and west coast. This alone would have been enough to keep me happy, but each platter came with fresh grated horseradish and lemons, on the table they had 5 or 6 homemade sauces ranging from shallot vinegar to fiery inferno hot sauce and vodka pepper sauce. I've never really done oysters other than your standard hot sauce and lemon so this was quite a good experience for me. I was planning on trying some of the other menu items out (mussels and fries were on special) but I was enjoying the oysters too much to stop. I had a side of fries to soak up the 4 beers and 3 rounds of oysters to fill the tank. I regret nothing.The staff here are the bench mark of friendly awesome service. Bad service can ruin a meal and good service can often go unnoticed. This deserves some serious kudos. I was meeting some friends afterwards and the staff even helped me sort out some of my logistical issues. 20/10 guys and gals. Thank you for making me feel so welcome in your city.Overall these oysters are very high quality and I'm sure if the rest of the seafood is half as good it'll be great too. Local beers on tap, good wines and some great people. What's not to love?
Ask for Sherwin, the king of oyster shucking! We came here after a great experience a few years ago at the Yaletown location. Everything was good, especially recommendations on sauce choices and a first time tip of black pepper. Life changed.
Had a really nice dinner here yesterday, the staff are amazing! Really friendly and know their menu well. Down to have a shot with you! Our waiter even bought us a shot :)
My friend and I had 16 oysters, waiters choice. The only thing I insisted on were that we eat kusshi oysters. All really great and fresh, nice complimenting sauces to add on top or classic lemon and Tabasco.
We followed with sharing crab cakes. Actually pretty good! Not the best I've ever had but pretty good!
He had the encrusted halibut and veggies and I had the seafood stew. Thankfully I had other food prior because the stew wasn't that substantial but was yummy. The encrusted fish was pretty decent.
This place is all about the atmosphere! If you're looking for a fun dinner out this a good place!

Came here for low-tide (happy hour) I had smoked salmon and fresh oysters with a couple beers and have to say the value is unbeatable. If you like seafood like I do check this place out. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a well put together menu. Will come back 👌🏼
Location: very convenient in gastown. Can either drive n park or skytrain to the Waterfront station then just a 5 min walk. Btw, a very nice walk at night time with all the lightings on, just make sure you don't cross the border to Chinatown...
Ambiance: a cool place with oyster bar. we went there around 6'30 and most tables were already reserved but people not shown up yet so it was quite empty. But around 8-9pm, this place got busy and quite noisy
Food: We let the server choose for us a raw oyster plate with variety to try out and i must say they are good! Quite impressed with the condiment selection...these guys are serious about oysters! We then ordered the steamed mussel, very yummy!
Service: friendly and comfortable. We are not really oyster experts but our server did explain about his selection and the best way to enjoy them
Price: quite pricey but well, good seafood is worth it!
We were walking by one Friday night and were drawn inside by the music and the promise of cold beer inside. We didn't have reservations but we were offered seats at the bar which turned out to be a good idea. Chatting with the servers and the patrons on either side of us, we spent a couple of hours before a concert at The Imperial tasting the various oysters and washing them down with a few beer. Great atmosphere. Good music.. The servers were attentive but not hanging over us. Next time, and there will be a next time, we will explore more of the menu.
Always a blast to visit Rodney's when in Vancouver. Beer, and great variety of Oysters to choose from. Went with the 'Low-Tide' selection today. Very tasty with the sauce selection Rodney's offers. Staff is quick to sit and serve. Would definitely go back again.
During our winter vacation, we decided to do something that we haven’t done since we were wee little kids… have a lunch date down in Gastown. We generally don’t come down here that often because it seems like such a touristy spot.
Loved this place. If you go, you must order their Caesar! Excellent service, great atmosphere. Will definitely revisit!
Love it here! A little different than the Yaletown location. The guys seem to be a little calmer and not so in your face. Will go back for sure!!
So happy Rodney's is in Gastown! Kushimoto oysters are my favourite
Went here on valentines day with my partner. It was a pleasant experience and our server was very attentive to our needs! it took a while for us to get our food, which our server took of and apoligized for it and gave my partner a couple drinks on the house. Will definitely come back!
Rodney’s Oyster House has opened a new location in Gastown. The have taken up the space of Cobre that used to be there. They have the same items like their Yaletown location. My coworkers and I came here for their happy hour from 4pm till 6pm. Oysters are $1.50 and their other items are on special too. The interior is decorated similarly to their other location and has 2 floors too. They servers are really nice and know how to make their guests at home. Complementary bread comes to the table with a lump of butter. Zydeco Stew aka Caesar ($10.25) it contains the usual stuff with fresh grated horseradish and topped with a lemon and a huge shrimp. It was a really good caesar and the shrimp was fantastic. Low Tide Oysters ($1.50) can vary in variety when ever you go. These were from Denman Island and are somewhat similar to a Fanny Bay Oyster. I found that this time around, they shucking wasn’t done as cleanly, so there were bits of shell when I ate some of them. When the oysters arrived,

Amazing food, the oysters and streak are a must have. Lobster rolls were to die for, highly recommended.
Great ambience, staff were attentive and super friendly.
Food was delicious, I’d highly recommend getting the cheesecakes as well.
A must go for dates, family meals, company dinners, or just to chill and people watch.
Location is easily accessible via transit and the surrounding streets are a great place to take amazing photos.
We love this place. You pretty much cannot go wrong with Yaletown. Fresh oysters is what we are looking for. With my favorite Stella beer, what else can you ask for?
Parking is not always easy in this area. But it is a very nice place to walk around around sunset and enjoy the view, the smell and the noise in this area. Youngsters love this place and it has developed and changed so much over the years. People come and go, the spirit remains.
Chowder was quite good, and the oysters were well prepared. Would absolutely visit again. Service was also quite nice, would make an effort to return again. Would like to try more on the menu.
Was a super fun night. Food was great. Servers were awesome. I was hoping to have a lobster night with the boys but they only had one lobster available. Made the best of it though, and ordered a few steaks to go with the one lobster. They put it all on a cool platter and everyone loved it. We had lots of appetizers so we were all full by the end.
5 stars are not enough. Great staff (positive-meniscus-Bobby and positive-energy-Amanda), and a buzzy vibe. Oysters, oysters and more oysters, natural and as shots (so delicious!). The most fun. Thank you! #willbeback
Very fresh oysters and delicious new england clam soup. The tomato clam soup is okay but a bit too herbalic for my taste. The service is fast and helpful. It was our first time so I asked them for suggestion on the oysters like how many is ideal and which types etc. and he was professional from beginning to end.
