Oyster Bar & Grille in Shreveport, LA, has quickly made a name for itself among local seafood enthusiasts and casual diners alike. Renowned for its superb oysters, patrons rave about the fresh and flavorful offerings, particularly the mesquite grilled varieties. Becky Keller highlights the delightful experience with complimentary chips and salsa, emphasizing the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The appetizers, such as fried calamari and chimichangas, have also received positive mentions, showcasing a lively menu that appeals to diverse tastes. However, feedback indicates room for improvement, particularly regarding the restaurant's ambiance with slippery floors, as noted by several customers. Riko Texas appreciated the outdoor seating but voiced concern about restroom cleanliness. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive. The bar features an excellent selection of wines, enhancing the dining experience, particularly during happy hour when house margaritas shine. While some dishes, like the gumbo, might need a flavor boost, the standout items, such as the grilled oysters and the expert preparation of seafood, create a compelling reason to return. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a visit to Oyster Bar & Grille promises an enjoyable culinary adventure that captures the essence of Southern Louisiana dining.

Food was delicious! Complimentary chips & salsa came with our friendly server. We ordered 3 versions of the oysters and shared a chicken quesadilla! Chicken was fresh and grilled perfectly! We were lucky to be there for happy hour, house margaritas were amazing! They have outdoor seating available & a nice bar area. Gave a 4 star for atmosphere because the floors were slippery. They placed floor mats to help but they were sparce. Overall amazing experience! We will be back!

The food was super good. The place was nearly arranged with tables inside and outside -in case you got too cold inside-. Flavor was good, color and consistency. The flavor was unique and very tasty. The only one thing is the restroom, there was too many flies inside. Overall, we loved it and would come back and eat again. Thank you

This place had one of the best oysters I've ever had. Living in Maryland and Virginia, I thought they had the best.... But forgot about Southern Louisiana oysters.... They are amazing. Their mesquite Grilled oysters are also amazing! Their homemade chips and salsa are on point too. They had no business just putting them in front of for no reason. Here I am eating a whole bowl of their chips ...

We had our office Christmas party there, and it was a wonderful experience. The server, whose name I wish I remembered, was fantastic and very attentive. He did a great job accommodating our large group. While I found the food to be lacking—specifically, I had the catfish and shrimp—the rest of the group seemed to enjoy their drinks. Overall, we had a great time!

I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. The oysters are the best fried or grilled. So fresh. The gumbo and tortilla soup could use some work as far as seasoning goes. The bacon wrapped shrimp were ok. But over all it was a pleasant experience.

If you haven’t been to Oyster Bar, you’re seriously missing out! I had the half raw, half mesquite-grilled parmesan oysters for around 32, and let me tell you—they were next-level delicious! The raw ones were fresh and briny, while the grilled ones had that perfect smoky, cheesy goodness. And the best part? They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa (because who doesn’t love a little extra snack while waiting?). The service was just as great as the food, and if you go, be sure to ask for Aaron—he’ll take good care of you! If you’re an oyster fan or just love great seafood, this spot is a must-visit. Who’s coming with me next time?

Ordered oysters on the half shell first and while the oysters were good they were very dirty. Just need to be shucked better and they would have been better. The ahi tuna tacos were amazing. They came with a soy dipping sauce and it was the perfect amount of food. The lucky bread was also really good and hearty. Some pieces were more spicy than others so beware. The peach margarita 10oz came frozen but it doesn’t say that on the menu. It was really good! There is plenty of space between the tables. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive. It was a good atmosphere and we were able to watch the hockey game on the TV.

This place rocks! I order and pick up large orders to take to my guys in the oilfield. All I have to do is walk in the door and Larry just has to ask how many and he knows exactly what to prepare. He goes over and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. This makes me shine in my job. You deserve a raise and ten stars Larry for perfection in customer service!!!
