J's Oyster

Portland, Maine

October 2011

Do you have a favorite restaurant?  I do.  It's J's Oyster.  If I had to pick what to eat for my last meal, it'd be my Dad's spaghetti sauce and everything off of the menu at J's.  Owned and operated by woman since it opened in the 1970s, J's is a rare jewel.  It's the type of place that refuses to change.  I've been going there for 4 years and haven't seen a single change in the menu, and I imagine it's been that way since the very beginning.  It's always jammed packed and I've met some truly great people there.  In fact, I don't think I've ever met someone I didn't like while dining at J's.  It's probably because the food is so good that it's impossible to be an asshole while eating it.  They should send a plate to Sarah Palin.
