Restaurant Review: 316 Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill
During a recent trip to Fayetteville, NC, I had the pleasure of dining here. The decor reminded me a little bit of Denny's,  , but the food was excellent. I had a mixed seafood grill with grilled shrimp, scallops and salmon. Came with, among other things, corn on the cob cooked in something good -- I don't know what. I found the prices very reasonable compared to city grub.  We drank Yuengling lager -- I never did see the entire beer/wine list, but there's a cocktail bar.
The highlight of the place is the Oyster Bar. They feature this thing called The Rooster, which is a saltine topped with a large pile (at least a tablespoon, maybe two!) of horseradish, a thick slice of jalapeno pepper, a large oyster, and a lot of tabasco and coarsely ground black pepper! If you eat three, you get a free t-shirt.
Here are photos of my three Roosters and the t-shirt they gave me for finishing them.

Too bad Hay Street was long ago changed as it would have made an interesting follow up to that evening's festivities for you. Rick's Lounge comes to mind....
I remember my first visit to Hay Street in the late 70's. It reminded me of how the old west might have been.

I visited the 316 Oyster Bar this past week and had the tuna steak with corn on the cob and a couple of Yuenglings. It was a great meal with excellent company. The next time I visit that Rooster is dead.

Are you perhaps, confusing 316 Oyster Bar in Fayetteville with 42nd Street Oyster Bar and Grill, in Raleigh?
There is only one 316, to my knowledge.
