Dock's Oyster House
Atlantic City's oldest restaurant, opened in 1897 and run by the Dougherty family ever since, known for its oyster bar and crab dishes.
Located at 2405 Atlantic Avenue. Founded in 1897 by Harry 'Dock' Dougherty, it has been run by the family for generations and was recently renovated. It has been featured on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Signatures include the butter-garlic lump crab, on the menu since 1897, along with oysters, a seafood tower, scallops, surf and turf (filet mignon with lobster tail), and the key lime pie, which is also recommended. It suits group dinners and celebrations. Prices are high, and reservations are recommended through Resy or OpenTable.
