Sponsored by the Alabama Tourism Department, Alabama Restaurant Week celebrates Alabama’s diverse range of cuisine in an 11-day event, from Thursday, August 14 through Sunday, August 24, 2025. Participating restaurants offer pre-fixed two or three-course meals at an attractive set price. The Original Oyster House will feature a $22 two-course lunch special available until 5 pm, which includes a cup of its seafood gumbo, its famous oyster po’boy served wtih thich French fries and sweet slaw.
The award-winning seafood gumbo is rooted in a cherished family recipe passed down by the restaurant’s founder. This hearty Southern stew features a flavorful homemade roux simmered with crab meat, flounder, shrimp, okra, and fresh vegetables. It pairs perfectly with the restaurant’s signature oyster po’boy, generously stacked with plump Gulf oysters, hand-breaded in the Original Oyster House’s special cracker-meal blend, topped with lettuce and sliced tomatoes and served on a crusty hoagie roll. The meal comes complete with thick-cut French fries and a side of sweet, creamy coleslaw.
No coupons or discount books required. Those dining at the Original Oyster House should just ask for the Alabama Restaurant Week special. Price does not include tip, tax, or drink and is only offered for dine-in only, not offered as take-out orders.
The Original Oyster House has become the “must-go-to” place for great fresh Gulf seafood, service and Southern hospitality and for its panoramic waterfront sunsets. A top-spot for hand-shucked and fire-grilled oysters, the Original Oyster House has also become legendary for its homemade gumbo, cheesy grits with blackened shrimp, as well as handcrafted desserts including its famous Peanut Butter Pie.
