Oyster Cafe

3060 Cobb Pkwy #101
Kennesaw, GA 30152

The Oyster Cafe is located on Cobb Parkway south of the “old” Walmart.  If your coming north on Cobb Parkway it will be on your right.  If you are coming south on Cobb Parkway you will want to turn left on Blue Springs road and make a right just before the day care center.  Otherwise you will have to drive halfway to Kennesaw in order to turn around and come north.

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it had a Chinese buffet-style feel.  Not sure why, it may have been the layout, the style of table, or the pictures of the food hanging on the wall when you walked in.  Don’t get me wrong the place was clean it just had that feel to it.

The second thing I noticed was that everything on the lunch menu was fried.  For someone that is trying to lose some weight, and watch what I eat, there was not really a “better” choice.  I ended up choosing to try the fried oyster sandwich since we were at the Oyster Cafe.  I can’t comment on the oysters since this is the first time I have them.  What I can say though is that a fried oyster sandwich is a little clumsy to eat.

There are some non-fried options on the menu if you want to stray into the $12 to $14 range for lunch.  By staying on the lunch menu and drinking water my lunch was $7.37 plus tip.

Will I go back?  I may be willing to try the dinner menu at some point if I am out with the wife and no kids.  For lunch, I would pass.
