Rodney's Oyster House

I love Rodney's! One of my favorite dishes there is the seafood jambalaya. They have great service, a fun and comfortable atmosphere, and amazing food. It can get busy on the weekends so I would recommend making a reservation, but other days of the week you're fine to just drop in. Hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in Vancouver!

Rodney's is the best spot for fresh raw oysters. They're always so fresh. I always get the Rodney's Caesar with freshly grated horseradish and their famous giant prawn - it's a great combination.

Every time we go to Rodney's, the staff are really cheerful and create a great vibe. It's a fun and friendly place to be.

Came here for happy hour and ordered a couple of apps to share with our drinks.

Halibut Bites - Tasty, lightly breaded and was overall good
Lobster Sliders - Flavourful and the slider was light and had a good crunch from the celery in the mix
Oysters - Super fresh and had a great selection of hot sauces to choose from

Great spot for happy hour and overall service was also great - will definitely be coming back!

Rodneys is a no frills, delicious seafood restaurant.

I especially love their selection of oysters. They also have a good happy hour.

All of the oysters were amazing today! Meaty, fresh, a touch of brine west coast oysters.

The halibut bites were super soft, fresh and delicious with the sauce, the sauce had a nice kick of spice.

The clam chowder was decent.

Definitely always a must when visiting Vancouver BC


Our server Ian was delightful and gave wonderful recommendations.

Had dinner our first night in Vancouver at Rodney's. I would suggest reservations, as it is busy and small. We arrived early for our reservation, but they were able to seat us. Little did I know, Vancouver is a happy hour town! We followed our server's suggestions and got some oysters, lobster and shrimp sliders, garlic prawns, and sourdough. I HIGHLY recommend dipping your sourdough in the sauce the garlic prawns are served in. I would skip the lobster and shrimp sliders next time. A fun stop while in Vancouver!

I'm usually not super crazy about raw oysters but Rodney's has converted me. Went for happy hour just to try these oysters and it was so fresh and such a great experience. The raw oysters come with a variety of sauces from mild to super spicy. The Server was very attentive and checks up on you. Their restrooms are also clean which is a plus.

I found this place accidentally but I'm glad I did because it was a vibe! It was a pretty busy restaurant in Yaletown. I just wanted oysters but I got lobster and shrimp roll sliders, pickles, oysters, and great service. First, the music is what made my experience amazing! The staff at the raw bar were jamming to the tunes, and so I felt the freedom to do so as well !

The oysters were delicious but the one downside is they don't serve them with a mignonette, just horseradish I believe. But lobster and shrimp roll sliders were on a brioche crispy bun and served with the pickle. This right here was my fav. I had no idea I'd love it but I did. I highly recommend.

My group didn't make reservations for dinner because we weren't sure what time people would be hungry or where we would be wondering to. We initially wanted to check out Fanny Bay Oyster but they had no reservations available. So we called Rodney's to see if they had space for our group of 10 people. Luckily, Rodney was available, so we made our way to the restaurant!

We really wanted to try the seafood here. Half of us wanted to eat oysters, while the other half wanted to eat other food besides oysters. So I sat at the non-oyster eating table.

-Ocean salad (5/5) - I've never had a seafood salad before, but this salad was so refreshing and nice to eat. Must order.
-Atlantic lobster poutine (5/5) - Since we haven't gotten poutine in Vancouver yet, we might as well order some here. This dish was really good. I just keep eating it. Must order.
-Hokkaido scallop pasta (5/5) - I love seared scallop anything. The pasta saucy was went really well with the linguine noodles. Must order.
-Manilla clams (5/5) - The clams were really good. I don't usually order clams since not all restaurants do a good job with cleaning clams before cooking them. The clam sauce was really good, so we dipped some of the artisan bread that we ordered in the sauce!

The restaurant was pretty busy. Another bach party also had a dinner celebration here. The staff was really nice. When it was time for the check, the staff was nice enough to help us split the check even thought we didn't ask for it haha. The seafood here was really good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stumbled across this hidden gem on a quite part of Gastown. We sat at the bar and had great service with some friendly conversation. The fresh oysters were great served with freshly grated horseradish...amazing!
We also ordered the seafood sliders they where tasty.
Good vibe atmosphere with good music playing. I would definitely go back.

We were a large group of 8 coming in without a reservation, but luckily we were off peak and they were a Joe to seat us right away. Our server came quickly and greeted us and told us about the happy hour specials. The wine happy hour special was good and very generous pour. The oysters were pretty good as well, I think I'm a sucker for east coast oysters, but these west coast ones were a pretty close second. We just came for apps and drinks and a place to watch the game and this was perfect. Next time we're in town we'll likely come back.

I came into Rodney's oyster house on a Thursday night during happy hour and man this may have been some of the most delicious oysters I have ever had. They oysters were fairly big in size which I love, the freshness was absolutely insane. They tasted phenomenal. Being from Vegas we don't get to enjoy fresh oysters much so anytime I'm traveling I like to go all out.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was fun and lively it's not a huge location but it fits a good amount of people. Our server was very attentive and nice. The drinks and draft beer were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to coming back here and enjoying this restaurant!
