Queen's raw bar angrile is shaking up Eagle Rock with straight South Carolina seafood

vibes.

This spot on York Boulevard popped up in 2023 thanks to executive chef Ari Collender and

managing director Joe LaRaha.

Think fresh oysters, fish heavy mains, and even derby pie for dessert.

Pure raw bar energy.

It pulls heavy inspiration from Collender South Carolina upbringing, flipping the script

from their other joint, found oyster, which leans new.

England style.

Here, it's all about those southern classics mixed with bright, refreshing raw bar

eats.

Food critics hit up tuna tostadas, mackerel tartar, and pimento cheese sliders, and the crowds

loving the balance.

That tartare nails the acids with capers and a dill kick that echoes some traditional

flavors.

They're channeling low country staples like oysters, grits, and hush puppies, keeping

it simple yet bold.

The whole setup feels like a fresh twist on coastal comfort, right in LA.

Next time you're cruising Eagle Rock, slide through Queens for that southern seafood

fix, it's hitting all the right notes.
