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.

Don't wait for a gunshow, just go! (Besides - why would you waste time on a Fayetteville Gun Show when it's only 10 minutes more for you to go to Raleigh and attend a decent one?)

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

We stayed across the street from this restaurant and went there for dinner on a Wednesday night. Being from Alabama I grew up with a deep south style of seafood which is different from what this restaurant serves.
The hush puppies are made with honey and a large percentage of flour and no onions where I am used to a cornmeal style that is heavy on onions and black pepper.
The deviled crabs were heavily herbed to the point that there was no crab flavor detectable and were not served in their natural shell. They were left unfinished on the plate.
The grilled scallops had been exposed to the air for too long and were dried out before they were grilled and they were left unfinished on the plate.
The Fat Tire draft beer was good!
So for $92 I was pretty disappointed and I am a person who likes to eat fried crow and squirrel so I am not too finicky about my food.

You just lost all credibility as a food critic.
