Oysters are meat! What kind of vegetarian restaurant serves meat?
There is no indication that Philip and Barbara are eating at a fast food restaurant. "Oysters" (salty mollusks which grow in shells, considered a delicacy) are not usually offered at fast food restaurants. Common fast food offerings are hamburgers and French fries.
