Local tip
The entrance is opposite Timberlake Village, which is a useful landmark when approaching along the N2.

Oysters R Us is a relaxed seafood restaurant on a farm between Wilderness and Sedgefield, with an entrance opposite Timberlake Village on the N2. The setting combines a rustic character with an outdoor dining atmosphere, making the venue suited to an unhurried Garden Route lunch or a convenient food stop between the two coastal towns.

The menu centres on freshly shucked oysters and hand-crafted sushi. The oyster offering includes different toppings, while the sushi is prepared to order and brings a lighter, coastal style to the restaurant. Bubbly can accompany the oysters, and picnic platters are also available for a more casual meal.

A live oyster tank system forms part of the venue experience, keeping oysters in suitable conditions before serving. The feature adds an informative element to the meal and reflects the restaurant’s focus on seafood freshness. The atmosphere remains informal rather than formal, with a farm-style setting that works well for relaxed daytime dining.

Families are catered for through an outdoor kiddies’ play area, and the venue also welcomes pets. The combination of open-air space, straightforward seafood and a laid-back setting makes the restaurant suitable for family outings, casual gatherings and travellers following the N2 between George, Wilderness and Sedgefield.

The location is in Wilderness East, close to the Garden Route’s coastal attractions and within easy reach of Sedgefield and Knysna. Its position also makes it a useful stop on longer coastal journeys towards the Eastern Cape. The entrance location opposite Timberlake Village is an important navigation point, particularly for visitors approaching along the highway.

Oysters R Us operates as a daytime restaurant, with service from Wednesday to Sunday and closure on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sushi orders have a cut-off before closing, so timing matters for guests planning to include sushi in a meal. Booking enquiries, menu questions and dietary requests can be directed to the restaurant before arrival.
