The Orleans Oyster Bar

I love oysters very yummy and delicious
The cook was very nice and friendly!!! Gave great customer service I didn’t know what I wanted to be my main course I have a hard time making food choices lol so I told him to surprise me he gave me the «rosa» it was AMAZING I will totally come back very yummy and fresh food

The worst service in Las Vegas. This is my second visit. Never again. The food is below average. The South Point among others are much better. Pretty obvious when you walk by. Big Als is never crowded even on event days.
My food arrived in good time but the potatoes in my crab boil were raw. Not just undercooked. The server asked me to get the potatoes out of the dish so he could replace them??? He didn’t want to take the dish back. He spent the rest of the time chatting up the other servers. No one in the place seemed interested in the customers. I had to flag them down to get refills on drinks. If this were a stand alone restaurant it would have been out of business long ago.

Gross. This place has bugs and flies everywhere. I wish we just got up and left but we ended up getting oysters and soup and I probably could have just heated up canned soup. Not good.

A group of 5 coworkers and I came for dinner around 6 p.m. There was no wait (woot!). It is a casual restaurant that offers primarily seafood. It is embedded in a «locals» type casino so it’s not fancy and there’s a smoky environment.
There aren’t any real options for non-​seafood lovers. Luckily, I am a seafood lover and was excited to eat here.
The portions are generous so for the entrees, consider sharing one dish for 2 people. At the suggestion of our server, we ordered a appetizers and then shared entrees… this worked well for us.
Appetizers:
Oysters on the Half Shell… very good
Seafood Sampler (cold platter)…delicious!
Shrimp Ceviche… good but not great
Shared Entrees:
Shrimp Scampi Pasta… more of an Alfredo with bell peppers, it wasn’t garlicky like you’d expect. But the shrimp was delicious. It is a rich and creamy dish. 2 of us loved it; the rest thought it was good but not great.
Ran Roast (combo crab and shrimp)…this is what we came for and it was good. It is shredded crab and whole shrimp in a creamy bell pepper sauce served with rice pilaf. I thought it was going to knock my socks off but it didn’t. However, I did enjoy it.
Steamed Clams…3 of us LOVED this dish… primarily the broth which was perfect for dunking their bread into. Of the 2 who didn’t love it was one who doesn’t like clams to begin with. This was light and delicious.
The only things we didn’t really like were the drinks. I ordered the mojito which had melon syrup in it?! The wine was ok. The vodka tonic had very little vodka in it.
Otherwise, we liked this place but in Vegas, there are many other phenomenal options which may prevent us from returning.

They oyster shooters are declicious! They’ve got some very very spicy ones too! I have a high tolerance for spiciness, but damn one of those really got to me. Wish I remembered the name. The next time I go I want to get all the good deal they had to try all of them.

Yum!

Oyster shooters are the shit!

This oyster bar is a pretty good place. I came here several times with my then-​BF. As with most oyster bars around town, it’s a small restaurant. I don’t think that I ever saw it crowded either. The service is good.
The dinner pricing is similar to the Oyster Bar at the Stations casinos– $ 13.99 chicken scampi, $ 16.99 gumbo (mmm, I love gumbo!), $ 19.99 bouillabaisse, $ 17.99 combo pan roast (BTW my fave oyster bar being Palace Station, which is now open 24÷7− yay!). Also available are Po Boy sandwiches. The entrees are served in huge deep bowls– tremendous.
Also available on the dinner menu are: Soups– chowders, Appetizers– oysters, clams, dip, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, ceviche, Salads– cobb, garden, caesar, and Desserts– cheesecake, tiramisu, bamba– fruit & sorbet covered in chocolate drizzle (but if you finish your meal, I doubt that you will get this far!). I always left pretty full, so I didn’t get to enjoy dessert, but when you get good seafood, who cares?
I want to come here with my husband so I can get his opinion on the best oyster bar in town.

Seafood is great and fresh — I had the Ceasar Salad with Crab and it was very tasty. Others in my group had the Jumpo Shrimp cocktail (awesome) Crab Cakes (good but small) and lump crab cocktail — (very good!) with Clam Chowder (Thick and rich) — Overall a nice choice when at the Orleans — dress is casual and service is very good!
