West Hartford Week: Max Oyster


For a seafood lover, you can't get a better happy hour than Max Oyster on Main Street Farmington Ave in West Hartford. At a "buck a shuck" it's as straightforward a deal as you will find. One dollar per clam and oyster to see how many you can suck down during happy hour. In addition to the shellfish, there's a menu of $2 items that is always rotating and always contains tasty items. As tasty as that might be, the joint is called Max Oyster for a reason. Seriously, suck it up and slurp down some raw shellfish, you can get a fish taco anywhere.

  3. Never had a bad meal here. Also have the best chopped salad around. It is, however, a lighting designer's nightmare.
