Our Story

It started with three words: "I bought a café."

In 1989, Tom came home and said those words to Sandy. That café led to a restaurant, and on February 4th, 1991, Ferris' Oyster & Burger Bar opened its doors. A place where everyone's welcome, the oysters are always fresh, and every burger is made with love.

"Good food, good people, good times. That's what Ferris' is all about."
