The Oyster House is dishing up their “dump dinners” again. These seasonal dinners are a hands-on way to enjoy some shellfish, which are dumped (crab-boil style) onto the newspaper-covered table. At 5PM on every Tuesday though this summer, patrons can get down and dirty with some shellfish. The Oyster House’s Sam Mink explains the revelry of their $19 dump dinners: “Old-fashioned seafood boils are a hallmark of summer, but they have a reputation for being messy and a lot of work. With our Dump Dinner, we’ve done the work for you – right down to covering the table with newspaper, toting the full steam pot from the kitchen and pouring it out onto the table.”

The dinners includes boiled shellfish like shrimp, mussels, clams and oysters. Potatoes and smoked kielbasa also add to the rich flavor in the pot. If the bucket of shellfish isn’t enough for you, you can get buckets of Miller Genuine High Life Ponies to quench your thirst (3 for $5, 6 for $9 and 9 for $12). The Oyster House is open for dinner from Monday through Saturday, 5-11PM.
