This Surf ‘N Turf Hotspot In New York Has Been Serving Up Some Of The Best Seafood Since 1913

Here at Only In New York, we love new restaurants. Supporting local business in their up-and-coming days is great, and it's always thrilling to discover an eatery before everyone else does. But long-standing restaurants can be just as delicious: after all, there's typically a reason they've survived the test of time! One seafood restaurant in New York that's most definitely been time-tested is Jack's Oyster House in Albany. This upscale spot has been delighting New Yorkers for more than a century! Hardly anything remains the same as it was in 1913, but Jack's Oyster House is still serving up delicious food in a classy environment.

Jack's Oyster House was opened in 1913 by Jack Rosenstein, an oyster shucker at a nearby restaurant. The restaurant moved a few blocks over in 1937 and remains at that location today.

Amazingly, the restaurant has been owned by the same family for all those years! It's now run by Jack's grandson, Brad Rosenstein.

When the restaurant opened, the most expensive dishes were less than 50 cents. Prices have increased over the last century, but what hasn't changed is the quality here.

Jack's strives to serve up the classic dishes they have perfected over the last ten decades while adding in modern twists.

Their specialty is seafood, but they have a variety of meat and salad options as well.

These are some of the best oysters in New York, but you won't be disappointed by anything here.

Jack's Oyster House sources from local farms whenever possible, so the menu changes seasonally.
