Ford Fry's beloved River Oaks restaurant built around an exquisite marbled Oyster Bar, where $1 oysters during the weekday happy hour window have made it legendary among Houston shellfish devotees. The raw bar menu cycles through multiple East and Gulf Coast varieties, and the long happy hour window means you can come for lunch or linger into the early evening. Happy hour is the oyster deal only — no drink discounts. $1 oysters Mon–Fri 11 AM to 6 PM. One of the best oyster deals in Houston.
