We at Black Family Hospitality are excited to create a concept that is dear to our hearts, and allows us to bring balmy summer coastal vibes to the amazing city of Waco! Named after Black family matriarch Opal Faye Hendershot, Waco’s culinary scene just got a whole lot richer with the arrival of Opal’s Oysters. Specializing in fresh oysters with a unique selection and elevated presentation, Opal’s Oysters has already become a must-visit spot for anyone craving an upscale, coastal-inspired experience in the heart of Texas.
From the moment you walk through the doors of Opal’s, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that’s equal parts refined and relaxed. The interior boasts soft lighting, oceanic accents, and an open oyster bar where guests can watch skilled chefs shuck and prepare each dish. The knowledgeable staff are as passionate about the food as they are about making each guest feel at home, ensuring an experience that’s as memorable as it is mouthwatering.
But it’s not just the ambiance that’s capturing hearts—the food and service are truly top-notch. Opal’s Oysters goes beyond traditional raw oysters, offering a variety of regional and international oysters on the half shell, beautifully plated and perfectly paired with house-made mignonettes and sauces. The bar is equally impressive, serving crafted cocktails and having one of the biggest wine lists in Texas, curated specifically to complement the seafood offerings.
