The Stubborn Mule Oyster Bar & Grill

Loved the live music and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. We had the crab hush puppies, grilled tuna, and a soft shell crab special. The drinks and appetizer/salads were great. Would not get the same entrees if visiting again.

Awesome addition to downtown Washington! Of course we had to try oysters and they were fantastic! We also had a steam basket and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we ate every last bite! We sat at the oyster bar and were impressed by the service we received from Brandon! Highly recommend if you're looking for seafood!!

They built a menu that perfectly matched our country-western “Mule-tide Christmas” theme, and it was a hit. Guests raved about the food, which was beautifully presented and thoughtfully arranged in stations throughout the restaurant—exactly as I’d hoped—so no one had to wait in long lines. The staff was attentive all evening, constantly circulating and keeping everything running smoothly. They created special drinks for the event that were delicious. The oyster bar was especially popular, encouraging everyone to wander, mingle, an
