I assume the seafood is steamed. I selected shrimp without heads, and snow crab legs with (at the recommendation of manager) "cajun" spice. I asked for extra hot spice level. Things to consider. 1) their approach is interesting and I was pleased with what I received. 2) allows for a variety of spice levels and type of seasoning. 3) I am from New Orleans, but avoided crawfish because: a) August is not in season and I do not like frozen/Chinese crawfish. b) I do not think the "in a bag" method would work.. rather have them cooked properly 4) when you unpeel your shrimp or crack your crab legs.. you need to sip it in the juice. i simply emptied the contents of the bag on the tray. 5) they NEED to get good bread. they did not have any bread available but the juice is good enough that it warrants nice fresh bread.. real poboy bread from New Orleans would be perfect.. basically just like BBQ shrimp, dipping your bread in the juice would be popular. I will be back, and might even try to sneak in some bread lol

Yes, Unicorn is a must try, I will be ordering it again on my next visit. The grilled shrimp was excellent, I enjoyed it more than my wife's lobster which was slightly overcooked. Although I finished the crab cakes, I was hoping for something thicker with more crab and less breading. Our server was nice enough but she seemed a little nervous, as if she was under a spotlight. She didn't ask if we were celebrating anything, which we were 39yr anniversary. She also went straight to the entree and didn't ask if we'd like any appetizers. The overall ambiance was excellent.

Given the restaurant's reputation and price point, I expected the overall atmosphere and food to feel a bit more elevated. Service: Our service was okay overall, but our waiter seemed pretty busy and wasn't always very attentive. There were a few times when we ended up clearing some of the table ourselves because his hands were full carrying dishes. Food: The edamame unfortunately tasted undercooked and was very plain. The calamari was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. We ordered several rolls, and while I don't remember all of their names, I will say the portions were generous, which was nice. However, several of the rolls didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and we felt the same about the sashimi plate. Overall: I'm glad we finally got the chance to try Oceans, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations I had going in. There were some positives, especially the generous portions, but for the price and reputation, I was expecting a more memorable experience.

New Orleans Approved!…read more As New Orleanians and self-proclaimed foodies, my wife and I have pretty discerning palates when it comes to seafood. While visiting Little Rock, the technician who was doing my wife's pedicure recommended her brother's restaurant, The Oyster Bar. We already had reservations elsewhere, but after looking at The Oyster Bar's menu, we canceled our original plans--and we're glad we did. Food (10/10) Hush Puppies (10/10): Quite possibly the best hush puppies I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, with jalapeños that added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor. Crab Claws (10/10): Outstanding. They reminded me of a favorite dish from Copeland's back home in New Orleans--hot, buttery, flavorful and served in a generous portion. Seafood Combo (10/10): Fried Oysters (10/10): Perfectly fried with a crisp exterior and a creamy interior. Well seasoned and absolutely delicious. Cheese Grits (9/10): Rich, creamy and cheesy. We paired them with the shrimp scampi and essentially created our own version of shrimp and grits. Shrimp Scampi (8/10): The shrimp were plump, juicy and cooked well, though I would've enjoyed a bit more seasoning. Crab Cake (10/10): The standout of the meal. This crab cake was towering, packed with what seemed like 99% crab meat and full of flavor. The seafood combo is a great value. Chocolate Cheesecake (9/10): Smooth, creamy and chocolatey. Cheesecake isn't usually our first dessert choice, but we're chocolate lovers, and this one definitely delivered. Piña Colada Mocktail (9/10): Sweet, smooth, refreshing and loaded with pineapple flavor. Exactly what I look for in a tropical mocktail. Service (9/10) Our server, Tallon, was friendly, attentive and genuinely hospitable. She was efficient, checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It's always refreshing to have a server who doesn't disappear after the food arrives. Ambiance (8/10) The atmosphere is casual, bright and airy with a comfortable noise level that makes conversation easy. If a couple from New Orleans--where great seafood is practically a birthright--can enthusiastically recommend The Oyster Bar, that's saying something. We'd happily return the next time we're in Little Rock.

Located a short drive from downtown Little Rock, the oyster bar is in a cool strip of bars and restaurant on west Markham street. My dad has raved both their Rockefeller oysters, so we had to make a pit stop. Lively, two open dining areas, central bar area, and a well lit patio makes for a good sized restaurant for any occasion. We just missed the oyster happy hour, but that's more reason to come back for more! Our oysters were good sized and stuffed full of spinach, cheese and breadcrumbs. Drinks were great as well. We walked in at 5:30 and by 7:30, there was a waitlist, live music and some big groups dining in. Definitely worth a stop in if you're in the mood for oysters, the Oyster Bar didn't disappoint!

We dined at this location on July 22, 2026. Making a reservation for 2 was fairly easy and once we arrived there was ample parking. We were seated on the patio with a beautiful view of the pond they have. I am very happy we were seated where we were because it was just perfect for the type of night I was in search for. Upon getting walked to our seat, we saw people in Christmas/Holiday attire. Walking in and out of the bar. I asked the hostess if there was an event and she told me they do a Christmas in July event that is always a hit! That was absolutely freaking awesome!! There was a bar room inside the restaurant that was decked out in Christmas decorations and I told my friend that after dinner I needed to check that bar out! Our server was amazing and incredibly accommodating. I am a vegetarian and I waa very happy with the amount of options I had to pick from!! My friend and I split the Strawberry and Goat cheese salad and oh boy that was delicious! Definitely a memorable salad because it is now October and I am still thinking about it. I got the Yonder Burger with mo pickles or tomatoes and it was so good!! The cocktails I ordered were Something about Terry but asked for a shot of Vodka in it because that one is on the cocktails section of the menu. I also got a few other cocktails I can't recall their names but they were all delicious. At the middle of our meal I think it was the manager or owner, he came over to us dressed in holiday decor and checked in on us. I took the opportunity to rave about the service, drinks, food, and ask him more about the Christmas in July stuff they have going on. He was marvelous and answered all the questions!

Unfortunately, my experience was EXTREMELY subpar. There were only THREE menu items available and were extremely overpriced for the ingredients used as well as the quality and portion size. I only had $20 in cash on me, because by the way, they're mostly cash only, so the only thing I could order was the " hood noodles". That honestly should've been my red flag right there, but I wanted to support a local black business. Not only was the owner or the food truck manager, extremely RUDE and DISMISSIVE to concerns I had about my order accuracy (at the time of ordering), but the wait time was 25 minutes for some REHEATED Ramen noodles, jar Alfredo sauce, overcooked shrimp WITH the shell on, and OVERLY salted and seasoned food. I'm someone who loves flavor, but that plate was walking hypertension. Also, eggs were supposed to come with my order, and there was none in sight. The most edible thing on the plate was the sausage and that was after all the excess seasoning was washed off. I'm not one to trash small businesses, but even the presentation of the truck was underwhelming and concerning. Handwritten and torn up menu signs and NOT the cleanliest either. I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND this food truck, or the actual restaurant business in Little Rock to anyone. Even though the owner specializes in "hood meals ", I don't think quality has to suffer. My friend and I who came to try the business out, ended up throwing our entire plate away and wasted $20.
