The server ignored us. Cina. We asked to have a table rather than a high top. When we moved, she basically didn’t talk to us unless we ask someone to get her. She wasn’t easy to find either. The food order was wrong and we had to flag down the manager to get him to exchange out the side. Meanwhile, our water was never refilled unless we grabbed the runner to refill our water. Finally, when it was time to pay, we had to flag her down to get the check as well. Probably the worst service I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time. It doesn’t take much to please people you just have to be at least a slightly attentive. The food on the other hand was good! We are frequent diners over in Middleburg and we’re disappointed with the Leesburg location.

Our server Dakota, was great. Despite how busy it was,he was very attentive. He answered all our questions and checked on us/our table quite frequently. The food was ok. We were there on Saturday during Happy Hour.

We live close to the KSOB in Potomac, MD, which is much larger, but this is a nice little spot with a variety of oysters and a decent menu.

Crowded into an old store front, this place has a 100 year old atmosphere. Very noisy inside, and the outside is actually quite bad. The food makes up for it. Try the lobster salad - lots of lobster claws (apparently the tails are saved for the lobster rolls). I like lobster claws better, so go for it. The rest of the seafood is excellent (I don't eat raw oysters). If you want atmosphere go to the one in Middleburg.
Parking: Municipal parking garage one half block away (down the alley across the street) is free on Sunday, pay during the week. No street parking at all, no lot.

Service was poor, food was fine. Mac and cheese sauce was a little funky. Lobster roll was over chilled. Had the wrong food brought to us multiple times, couldn’t buy a second look from our waiter though in fairness it was busy. Wasn’t the worst experience but also wasn’t one I intend on repeating.

We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday at King Street Oysters. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our parents of 6 on a busy night in the time slot we preferred. From the minute we got there, until the time we left, the staff, and our server couldn't have been better. Drinks were promptly served and were great ( we're picky about types of alcohol). We got there in time for Happy Hour raw oysters, and got 4 dozen delicious Chincoteague oysters! Then our food was served, and as usual, it was wonderful. The staff then came out with desserts and sang Happy Birthday!! In all, the evening was magical. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you Kings Street Oyster House!

The food was delicious and the place was cute. Our server was attentive and did a great job making sure we were taken care of. The Oysters Rockefeller were the best I’ve had and I’ve tried them everywhere I’ve been able to. The crab cakes were like 98% meat and ridiculously good!

We have been meaning to go here for a while, and we were not disappointed at all when we finally went. This small restaurant on King Street in Leesburg serves classic seafood and pub favorites, including a good selection of oysters (obviously). We went on a Saturday afternoon for happy hour, and were delighted to find a nice variety of food and drink on the discounted menu. We tried a couple of cocktails, some wings, the po boy, and the crab cake sliders. The food was delicious. We followed it up with two different types of oysters, which were equally great. We are not big oyster people, so we asked the waitress for a recommendation. She nailed it, and was happy to give us some pro tips regarding the sauces that came with. This turned out to be a lovely dining experience, and a great way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend!
Parking: Parking is scarce in this part of town. Best bet is the public garage around the corner. Pay during the week, free on weekends.

Awesome place in historic Downtown Leesburg. We enjoyed the oysters, lobster club salad, blue cheese chips and shrimp bites!! Amazing restaurant with five star service. We hope to return someday. Unfortunately, we were so hungry, we were only able to get pictures of the oysters.
I’ve just moved to Leesburg Street will become a staple more to come

It was my third time here, and I thought I'd give a review.
I usually sit at the bar and have great service. Their bar tenders are very nice and accommodating.
I enjoy their menu items: oysters, muscles, clams, fries... these are my go-to's. They have a good selection of spirits as well.
Quality products overall, great spot in Leesburg to socialize and relax.
I have not seen this spot jam-packed. Every time I visited (Fridays around 2-4) it's not crazy crowded.
Overall, it's a solid little spot!
Parking: There are a couple spots you will have to look for to park... your walk to the restaurant will be a ~block.
There is a parking lot and parking garage the next block up from the restaurant

First time at King St. Oyster Bar and it was great. Delicious fish and chips!! Corn-filled hushpuppies were great. White-chocolate bread pudding was amazing!!
