Some places truly stand the test of time. That statement certainly applies to the Union Oyster House, a famous Boston restaurant that’s been open since 1826, serving some of the best New England cuisine, especially seafood, ever since. It also happens to be the oldest restaurant in Massachusetts. Let’s have a look:
The history of the Union Oyster House began all the way back in 1826 when food was served out of the pre-Revolutionary War building it’s housed in. A National Historic Landmark, this restaurant is a Boston fixture located along the Freedom Trail.

Open for lunch and dinner, this is a popular place to get your seafood fix in the city of Boston. Start off with a cup or bowl of the famous Oyster House Clam Chowder and perhaps some freshly shucked oysters or baked stuffed clams.

The mussels are an excellent choice on the menu as well. They come Basque-style, steamed with garlic and white wine and a slice of crispy garlic bread. Delicious!

Lobster is one of the most desirable menu items here. Served boiled or broiled, you can order a medium-sized lobster at 1.25 to 1.5 pounds or a large at two pounds.

Of course, a classic chilled lobster roll is about as New England as it gets. Served with cole slaw, fries, and a dill pickle, this is one enjoyable meal.
