"There's only one place in Pittsburgh where hungry customers can experience the "Cod Father" of seafood while stepping into the shoes of celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Rocky Marciano, and former president Jimmy Carter. It's a place where the walls are covered from floor to ceiling in old-school movie memorabilia and photographs of famous patrons, and where nearly every person you meet will have a childhood story to share about grabbing a bite at the city's oldest bar and restaurant."
"The Original Oyster House has been a Pittsburgh staple for over 150 years, catering to the state's long legacy of dishing out oysters, clams, fish, and other seafood. The historic restaurant is known for its beloved Famous Jumbo Fish and Monster Fish Sandwich, but it also offers a hearty menu filled with crab cakes, butterfly shrimp, baked scrod, and, of course, oysters, which are available year-round."
The Original Oyster House in Market Square, Pittsburgh, has operated since 1870 and remains a three-storey landmark. The restaurant specializes in oysters, clams, fish, and breaded, fried seafood, and it is famous for the Famous Jumbo Fish and Monster Fish Sandwich.
