King Street Oyster Bar

I live nearby and really love KSOB. The staff are friendly. The food is great. Happy hour is a crazy good deal. It does get busy at peak dinner time. You can park on the street nearby or 2 hours free in the Park Potomac garage. The only weird thing is that if you order a dozen oysters, you only get 2 crackers. Asking for more crackers only works maybe 1 in 5 times. Can't explain it...

This is such a great happy hour place in the Rockville/Potomac area. Really good happy hour menu. The star for happy hour is the $1 oysters, the Chophouse burger and the wings. It's great you don't have to sit in the bar for this. We recently came to celebrate a birthday, and to my surprise the dinner entrees we ordered were really good. This place is quite empty after happy hour is over which is a shame. They are missing out on all the other dishes not on the happy hour menu such as their Grilled Sea scallops, served with pasta, lobster and mushrooms and their lobster roll and seafood pasta.We will be back for dinner and happy hours!

Found this place on Yelp and had to check it out, known for the best oysters. The service here is great you're seated as soon as you walk in. There is also outdoor seating, bring the entire family and enjoy. I had the bruschetta as a starter and it was delicious, the bread was super crispy just the way I love it. Also ordered the Best oysters I had around this area. The crab and corn chowder was super delicious. Bring the family and friends and enjoy watching sports, celebrating birthday and all events. This place is big enough for large parties. See you soon!! I'll be back to taste the rest of the menu.

I went with couple of friends on a Saturday evening for some fresh oyster. This place is great for seafood lover and should visit if you are in Potomac area. The place was packed and glad we had a reservation. We ordered some oysters steak and fish dish that I can't remember the name. All of them were pretty good. Fries were amazing. Their service was super great. Our server was always checking in on us. If you are looking for a casual place to dine, this would be a good one.

Came for my dad's birthday recently. We got there around 6 and weee delighted that happy hour was still going on. I got the froze as my drink which was good but probably would order a margarita next time as it did not pair well with the weather. I also tried the muscles which were delicious, the salmon BLT bites where were the perfect size (and price) and my favorite, the tuna tacos. My dad got the Shrimp Po boy which was topped with a large amount of shrimp and paired with very salty and delicious french fries. My mom got a lime margarita and said it was the perfect blend of tequila and lime. I recommend coming in and trying out their extensive happy hour deals.

This place has been in my list for months and I decided to visit for lunch. I wanted to sit outside, but the wind was a little aggressive. The staff was super friendly and inviting. We were sat immediately and greeted by our server. The food was fresh and arrived soon after we ordered. The food was very flavorful. The drinks were . They were fruity, so I wasn't expecting them to pack a punch at all. Man oh man was I wrong. I'll definitely be back to try some more drinks a s

Great spot in Potomac, MD. We went for dinner and ended up enjoying their happy hour menu. It was super affordable and delish! The choices on the menu were varied and interesting. We ended up getting oysters, mussels, blue cheese chips (highly recommend), and tuna tacos. Everything was wonderful. There's more than seafood on the menu, so don't worry if you aren't a fan. Plenty of non-fish options. Service was great. We didn't feel rushed and ambiance was wonderful. It was a comfy and fun vibe. If you're in the area, check them out!

King Street Oyster Bar - A Seafood Lover's Dream in Park Potomac!It was a Saturday night, and I rolled into King Street Oyster Bar with some friends, craving seafood. The place was buzzing -- packed, but the servers worked together like a well-oiled machine, making sure we were taken care of from the moment we sat down. I've been a fan of charbroiled oysters ever since a trip to New Orleans, so I was excited to see them on the menu. Now, they might not be exactly like the ones in NOLA, but they were the closest I've found in the area and definitely hit the spot.We started with a round of Gumbo, Ceviche, Hush Puppies, and a dozen oysters. The gumbo? Pure comfort in a bowl -- warm, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to feel at home. The ceviche was fresh and citrusy, though I would've loved a little more shrimp in it. But the flavor? On point. The hush puppies were crispy perfection, a great little side snack while we waited for the stars of the show -- the oysters.The Lobster and Crab Oysters were incredible -- rich, savory, and packed with flavor. But the Charbroiled Oysters really brought me back to those New Orleans vibes. I couldn't stop at just one round of oysters, so I ordered another half dozen to finish things off. From the specials, the Victory Point oysters stood out for me -- they had that perfect salty finish that I love. If you're in the mood for seafood, King Street Oyster Bar in Park Potomac is the spot. Whether you're craving oysters, gumbo, or just a fun night out with friends, this place delivers. Trust me, you'll leave full, happy, and planning your next visit.

Well well well, I wish I were writing a better review but unfortunately I did not have a great experience with King Street Oyster Bar. I have been looking for a spot to host a happy hour event and this place came highly recommended. I literally walked into the location weeks before the event to explain what we were looking for and to confirm that they could accommodate. The thing about happy hours is that you don't know how many people will show up the day of because people cancel and things happen so I requested a space for up to 16 people. They had my contact information and everything. I also received multiple text messages, see images!!! This is important because of what transpired the day of the reservation. The day of the happy hour, I arrived 20 minutes early to make sure we could get a good spot in the outside patio area. I was hoping to have an area where we could stand and mingle but they had us at tables - not only that nothing was ready because they said that they had called me and I never confirmed but as you can see in the texts, I did confirm. Someone did call be during the work day one and I asked them to please call back if they had specific questions but told them we would be there.Anyway, the area that they wanted to put us in was not set up, it was a table area and I was hoping to be standing. Then, they told me that we could only have one check!!! I specifically asked if there was a way for people to pay for their own drinks and we would pay for the food on a separate check but that's wasn't an option. What restaurant doesn't have a POS where you can put in individual seat assignments for guests and then split from there? I have worked in the hospitality industry for years and know that this is an option yet they were unwilling to do that. We had one check and spent a good 20 minutes with Venmo and apps out to figure everything out instead of letting us all pay individually. Oh and gratuity was added since we were a large party but the gratuity would have been more had we been able to order separately. And don't get me started on the service - our server, Emanuel, came to our table in a huff because we hadn't "confirmed" our reservation and they weren't prepared for us...and when we needed to add additional seats to our table, he argued with me about not confirming and told me that he would have the manager come over to confirm that I hadn't confirmed the reservation...Again, check the text! But even without that, we were there, we were ordering food and drinks, and we wanted to have a good time but his attitude as a server was not appreciated. And, the manager did come over while I was sitting and chatting to show me my phone number again to confirm that they called that number and that I never answered...but I confirmed through the text messages!!!Regardless of all the ridiculousness that ensued, they do have good happy hour prices so that's why I gave them 2 stars. As for service and ambiance, they're lucky to get the rating I provided.I will not be returning and I would highly encourage anyone bringing a large party to plan accordingly!

Love King Street. Been coming here for years. Today was subpar. Barely anyone in the restaurant and the service was slow. Plates stayed on the table way too long after they were empty. Rarely had our server come over to check on us and kept walking away before the table was done ordering. Bartender needs serious help. Beer was warm. Thought it was acceptable to send a beer out with half the glass full of foam. Again, I love this place and hope it was a bad night. But if this continues, I will not be returning to the Potomac location. It was a slow Monday night during happy hour. Not worth it
