First time here. I must say this place was really good. It gets busy. We made a reservation. Waited for about 20 minutes. Sat at the bar and ordered a drink while we waited. Had live music. Got to our table and our server introduced herself. She was attentive. Great menu options. We ordered oysters and some appetizers. Everything was delicious!! I do recommend and would come back.

I went for brunch and let me tell you I’m mad this establishment has been here in Little Rock for years and I never came to experience the goodness and vibe of this place. Let’s start with the staff first. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was on her stuff and showed excellent customer service. She made sure we were tended to. The drinks are on the lemon drop pomegranate didn’t let me or my friend down. I would love to come on a leisure day and splurge because their menu is everything if your a true seafood fan. The gumbo was meaty and full of flavor and the oysters im just let y’all see the pics….A+.
This place is a vibe and it’s more for the grown folks. I’m sure a family would enjoy this restaurant as well but the vibe is giving let me and the girls or the fellas get a good drink and eat some good seafood. Will be coming back very soon!!

This place was awesome. LR has been fantastic for food and this place was no exception. The oysters were shucked about 10 ft from us and they were incredible. I forgot which sandwich my coworker had, but it was very good as well. He was extremely happy with the food. The service was top notch, they were on top of it with drinks and checking in with us at decent intervals. The place had a nice seaside bar feel too it even though we are far from the ocean.
Thanks guys!

A jewel in a sea of mediocrity. Typically, I wouldn’t eat oysters so far away from the sea but I decided to take a chance. The Oyster Bar is a winner. The food is simply amazing from the signature oysters to the Manchester grits. The food was so good, I went two days in a row. The only downside is the portion sizes are small for the price but worth the taste. Check it out if you are in the area. Horrible parking

My family recently visited The Oyster Bar in Little Rock for the second time, hoping to share a wonderful dining experience with our guests. Initially, everything ordered exceeded our expectations fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. However, the experience turned sour when my daughter ordered a Tito’s Bloody Mary. The drink had a noticeably off taste and sour smell, perhaps due to an expired mixer.
We politely informed our waitress, Amanda a pleasant, soft-spoken young lady—to request an exchange for something else similarly priced, like a simple margarita. Surprisingly, Amanda declined, claiming Arkansas law prevented drink exchanges, a claim I’ve found unsupported. Despite another guest at our table confirming the unpleasant taste, Amanda remained dismissive and only offered to add ingredients to improve it.
To our disappointment, the issue became an unsettling spectacle. Amanda openly discussed our concerns with other employees, including someone we identified as possibly the owner or manager. Several staff members glanced our way, laughing and whispering. Amanda’s subsequent attentiveness diminished significantly, particularly compared to other tables, creating an uncomfortable sense of being unwelcome.
When presenting the bill, Amanda made it a point, with a sly grin, to highlight that gratuity was already included. This overall dismissive treatment deeply saddened us, especially given the excitement we initially felt to celebrate a special occasion. The unprofessional conduct, perceived racial undertones, and visibly poor customer service overshadowed what should have been a delightful evening. This should have been a celebration of life a fun, eventful birthday dinner—but sadly, it was anything but that.
We hope our experience serves as feedback for improvement and that future visitors won’t face similar disrespect or disappointment there food is amazing.
FYI-We still have yet to find that Arkansas Law to where bars can not exchange alcoholic beverages as told by our dismissive waiter Amanda.

My husband and I had lunch on a Friday afternoon here and it was amazing! I ordered a half dozen of oysters raw on the half shell, a half dozen of oyster Rockefeller, a Tito’s Bloody Mary and the crab cake! The hubby ordered the catfish and shrimp basket. The batter was so good, so flavorful and crunchy just the way we like it. Everything was 20/10 no notes, perfect I can’t wait to get back here!

Chargrilled oysters are a must! Fried shrimp is magic, grilled catfish was nom nom nom yum!! The warmed lobster roll is a decadent
The rum cake was a bit disappointing – I was expecting something fancier for a dessert

Our first experience at The Oyster Bar and they knocked it out of the park!!
We started with an appetizer of both shrimp scampi and also the tuna poké. Both were amazing. I don’t even like raw tuna, but my goodness that poké was superb.
For the main course, my husband and son both had a dozen assorted oysters. They were so good that my husband ordered another dozen. They also had the shrimp poboys.
I ordered the shrimp creole as well as 6 oysters (3 cooked Rockefeller style and 3 Bienville. They were all delicious! I also had a Rosé wine as well as Mojito. Perfection with the food.
Our 6 year old got the grilled cheese and fries. Plenty of food for her and she loved it.
Jaime P was our server and boy did she know what she was doing! She made our experience fantastic. We knew going in that we were going to drop some money on the meal, but honestly it was worth it every penny. It’s so nice having oysters that are fresh and also a few different varieties.
Overall, I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for a nice, clean atmosphere with friendly staff and great oysters (and shrimp options as well)!
