Reviews

Great little mom and pops hole in the wall! Friendly staff and a relaxed local atmosphere! Was in town and wanted oysters for dinner, found this quaint little restaurant/bar and am very glad I did! Going to be my go to anytime I am in Leesburg! I come from the Atlantic Coast in a seaside city and know oysters! These are top notch! Eat at Magnolia Oyster Bar, you won’t be disappointed!! Not bad price’s either, $40 for a Coors and two dozen oysters.

So I’m from out of town and I found this place and of course I love oysters. So I decided to stop in and check it out. I was not disappointed. I sat at the bar had one beer and I got the fried oyster platter and then I finished off with six oysters raw. I can say if I lived here in town, this would be my local hangout because it was really a nice atmosphere very family friendly fun. They have outdoor seating, indoor dining and bar seating. So they open a 50 pound sack of oysters, pour them into the ice and then shuck them in and open them right in front of you. Stop by and check them out. They’re pretty cool. Enjoy !! I sure did

We love this place. Yesterday was my wife's birthday and that was going to be our birthday dinner location. Because many locations in businesses are closed on Monday. In lake county, we checked the website twice. It said it was open at 3. I believe so we drove a 1/2 hour and we're excited to eat there. And celebrate her birthday. Unfortunately, when we got there, it was empty. There was a sign on the door that said gone fishing . Please update your website when you do this. We will come back, but it was a bad experience.

This is one of our favorite restaurants!! Best oysters and shrimp we've ever had! It's family owned and they're super nice people!!

My uncle and I went to this hole-in-the-wall seafood joint after some local recommendations; We were not disappointed. We enjoyed 12 raw oysters and a couple of beers for appetizers and my were they delicious, and very fresh. For our entree, we had fried grouper sandwiches with fries. We were a little disappointed they didn't have a grilled or blackened option but hey, what can ya do? The sandwich was big and flavorful, the Tartar sauce was delicious and the fries were crispy. The owner came out to bring our food and checked on us frequently. We had a nice conversation she was very sweet. I look forward to visiting her and this gem of a locally-owned restaurant again soon.
