Tucked behind the well-known Soby’s restaurant, The Jones Oyster Co. occupies a historic building with roots tracing back to the Civil War era. Originally a dry goods store and later a wholesale grocery, the space served as the Jones Furniture Company’s North Main location from 1929 until the late 1960s. The restaurant’s name and legacy pay tribute to that past, and the interior reflects that heritage with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a palette of muted blues and crisp whites. The space functions as both a dining room and a lively bar, where guests can watch skilled shuckers prepare oysters and enjoy handcrafted drinks. The menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients and traditional techniques, with daily selections that highlight the freshest catch.
