Doc-Magrogan’s Oyster House
Posted by Alex Tewfik on April 26th, 2013
This guy; cotton candy oysters guy; Mr. Kildare’s, himself. Dave Magrogan is a big deal, and barely anybody knows it.
Philadelphia Business Journal reported that Dave Magrogan, owner of Harvest Seasonal Grill, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House, and Kildare’s Irish Pub made a little over $40 million dollars last year—and he’s on track to make $50 million in the next. He owns 14 restaurants, and employs 1,200, and is planning to open his 15th (another Harvest) in North Wales, PA this summer.
Those are the kinds of numbers that even make Starr sweat. But then again, that’s not really saying much.

I was once with cheesesteak mogul Tony Luke at some Beverly Hills restaurant (long story), and he ordered these big, fat oysters that–I swear–were the size of small cheeseburgers. These Elkhorn oysters from Washington State are kind of bringing back those memories. Read the rest of this entry »

Doc Magrogan’s in University City and West Chester does buck-a-shuck oysters from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays. Tonight those buck-a-shuck oysters include 15 different varieties of bivalves, Nova Scotia to Washington. That’s a heck of a lot more variety than your average dollar oyster happy hour.

Given that yesterday was National Oyster Day, I popped over to the just opened University City outpost of Doc Magrogan’s to enjoy some bivalves and cocktails. (And the smoked fish dip and grilled mahi-mahi). Bartender Brian gave me the heads up that today is the first of Doc’s weekly Buck-a-Shuck Mondays, with a few varieties of oyster priced at just a dollar — not just during happy hour, but all night. Today’s buck-a-shuck selections: Sewansecott, James River and Delaware Bay.

Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House is coming to 3432 Sansom Street in University City. It will be the fourth location of
Dave Magrogan’s (
Kildare’s,
Harvest) oyster house concept.
Doc Magrogan’s will feature fresh seafood around the country and a raw bar with an array of east and west coast oysters. Executive Chef Karen Weinstein comes with seafood experience at several New York restaurants. Specialties will include:
- Miso Marinated Halibut
- Grilled Swordfish Caponata
- Wood Grilled Filet
- A “Simply Grilled” section will feature hand-selected fish, wood-grilled and brushed with herb gremolatta and served with roasted fingerling potatoes, truffle cauliflower and grilled asparagus.
Doc’s takes over the La Terrasse space on Sansom Row and is the first of two Dave Magrogan projects for University City. Magrogan’s Harvest (seasonal grill and wine bar) is opening later this year at 40th and Walnut in the former Marathon space.

On Wednesday, the first 350 people to head over to Fleming’s in Marlton from noon through 2 p.m. will receive a free mini-cheesesteak sandwich grilled to order in a tent outside the restaurant.
Steakhouse cheesesteaks are good, and this one’s got all the right ingredients: prime steak, sautéed onions, red peppers, and melted swiss on a homemade potato roll. But it gets even better — the first 200 people to arrive will also receive a gift card for a complimentary selection from Fleming’s new “5 for 6 til 7″ menu, a selection of five cocktails, five wines by the glass, and five appetizers, each priced at $6 and served till 7 p.m. nightly.
