Huge seafood buffet restaurant in the works for Loudoun

A large new buffet restaurant is headed to Leesburg — and one of its specialities will be seafood. That’s per documents filed with Loudoun County.

Aurora Seafood & Grill Buffet will be taking a nearly 8,500 s.f. space in the AutoZone Center in Leesburg. That’s the retail center anchored by the AutoZone store in the 700 block of East Market Street.

8,500 s.f. is large for a restaurant, and Aurora will reportedly have seating for more than 200 diners.

Plans show several rows of hot and cold buffet areas, a drink station, and more.

No other details are available at the moment — including specific dishes that the restaurant will offer or when the owners hope to open. We’ll keep you posted.
