“My husband and I drove all the way from England to eat here. The service was poor, the building is old, it was hot inside. It took 10 minutes for us to get our drinks. The appetizer was not that good. The coleslaw was warm and after waiting 35 minutes and still not getting our food, we went to the front and said we'd pay for the drinks and appetizer and we will leave. The waitress was lazy and slow. Walked by our table a few times when there was an empty basket sitting there and our drinks almost empty. Didn't bother to take the basket or refill drinks. A table behind us was getting cleaned, people sat down and not 10 minutes later got their food and we were still waiting on ours. Never again. What really got me is when the manager or owner...not sure who he was, said something to the waitress and she said something about it being a Saturday night. Im assuming she was saying it was busy. There was literally 10 tables full in the whole place and there was 4 waitresses. Im sorry, but if you think that was busy, you'd never make it somewhere like Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn on a Friday or Saturday night. Maybe waitressing is not for you.“

“NO! i actually do NOT RECOMMEND! terrible... I will leave a longer review later as we are just leaving, but I've never been more disgusted in a restaurant and disappointed! Jamal should be fired! 1. ordered medium well steak, got well done... sent it back... got less than rare.... 3rd time it was right... not acceptable... more to come, stay tuned. 2. Bathrooms DISGUSTING! to use the urinal, you would have to stand in piss... il post video and pics of this..... stay tuned for #3 3. I called our reservation in on Wednesday. Today is Friday. We were 5 minutes late, and they STILL did not have or tables ready... stay tuned for #4“

“I used to eat there several years ago in Jacksonville, so glad to go to Little Rock and get the same greatness!“

“Food was great, as usual We had the 2 items combo with wings and catfish steak, totally recommended“

“The best fish and Chicken !!“

“Food is always hot and fresh. I Drive from Bryant just to come to this location only“

“Food was absolutely AMAZING!!! Best Bang Bang Shrimp Best sautéed Scallops“

“amazing food, the catfish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. sam was great and very helpful“

“I heard this place is legendary in Little Rock so I went and got why. They serve catfish and buffalo fish ribs that feel like crunchy treasures from Southern history. This diner has serious roots—civil rights leaders used to meet here, and it has that badge of honor from the James Beard people.

I had a plate of catfish hush puppies and coleslaw sat quietly and felt like I was part of something much bigger than fish and grease. Price was modest mood was deep food was memorable.“

“I have eaten at the University location several times and the food and service have always been great. Mom and I went there on Sunday 8/25/24 and ordered our food to go. I went into the bathroom and there was ZERO soap to wash my hands. I was also there a month ago and an employee was using the handicapped stall in the restroom and left without washing her hands. These two experiences raise concerns over cleanliness. I’m not sure how clean the other locations are but please remind the staff to wash their hands and please keep soap in the restrooms. Thank you!“

“I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience at Oyster Bar. Not only is the food consistently amazing every time I visit, but the level of care and hospitality from the staff truly goes above and beyond. During my last visit, I unfortunately became overheated and fainted on the patio. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming situation was met with nothing but kindness, quick action, and genuine empathy from everyone at the restaurant. Emily, in particular, was an absolute lifesaver—I am beyond grateful she was there that day. From making sure I was okay to offering support in every way possible, her kindness did not go unnoticed. Our waiter had already provided excellent service before my mishap, ensuring a fantastic dining experience. The entire staff demonstrated what true hospitality looks like, and I am incredibly appreciative of their care and professionalism. If you’re looking for a place with phenomenal food and a team that truly cares about their guests, look no further than The Oyster Bar. 10/10 recommend!“

“I love this place the server’s are absolutely amazing they margaritas are so good and the food omg I practically live at this place they know me on a first name bases“

“Great food and service overall. The tables placements are a bit crowded... and there was no table scrapers service. But overall a big recommendation for the area. The drinks were high quality even though there was not an experienced server with wine.“
