The Original Oyster House restaurants have joined the over 200+ Alabama restaurants participating in Alabama Restaurant Week. In its fourth year, Alabama Restaurant Week is sponsored by the Alabama Tourism Department and celebrates Alabama’s diverse range of cuisine in a 10-day event, from Friday August 14 through Sunday August 23, 2015. Participating restaurants offer pre-fixed two or three-course meals at an attractive set price. To qualify for participation, a restaurant must be a locally owned and operated in the State of Alabama as well as be important to the Alabama tourism industry.

The Original Oyster House will offer a $15 two-course lunch that includes a cup of award-winning seafood gumbo paired with its famous Oyster Po’Boy during Alabama Restaurant Week. Each item is a house specialty and made fresh daily. The gumbo includes crab meat, flounder, shrimp and more stewed in a tasty homemade roux. It’s a great complement to the Oyster Po’Boy which includes a generous offering of plump fresh Gulf oysters, hand-breaded in the Original Oyster House’s special recipe, served on locally made, fresh crusty bread. It comes accompanied with crisp French fries and sweet cole slaw.

No coupons or discount books required. Those dining at the Original Oyster House during August 14 through August 23 should just ask for the Alabama Restaurant Week special. Price does not include tip, tax, or drink.
