Shuckers Oyster House

"First time here, and I'm not super impressed for the money. My Lady got a bar drink, water, and the Mahi with sides, which she was pleased with. I ordered the 1lb snow crab, slaw, hush puppies, and a coke. Everything was good except for the slaw. Other than a very, very slight hint of sweetness, there's absolutely no flavor. 1lb of SC legs is = to 3 small clusters, apparently (I'll take their word for it), and you receive 1 tiny cup of butter, and have to continue to ask for the rest. (I typically use 1 tiny butter to 1 cluster), so I had to ask for butter 2 more times. The waitress couldn't remember I was drinking coke, and they weren't that busy. We were not offered any desserts or to-go drinks, just here'syour check. I did enjoy the music being played from the XM Radio, which was something to the effect of the Jimmy Buffett channel, and was not too loud. In conclusion, the atmosphere is good, food is good, I don't think it's overpriced, however I believe I over tipped. The service was mediocre, with no above and beyond. As I said, they weren't busy, so seating was right away, as was the food and drinks."

"We always enjoy the food, ice cold drinks and atmosphere. Service was great. And music was spot on. Oh, and the gumbo was awesome!!"

"My sneaky friends just had a surprise birthday luncheon for me at Shuckers bc they know it’s my favorite place. It was so fun! They planned it at 1 pm when the lunch rush was nearly over. (Smart gals!) Some had never been to Shuckers but enjoyed it and vowed to come back. I have posted reviews elsewhere so am repeating here: Food: We go to the beach frequently and I have never had fried shrimp anywhere that is as good as Shuckers. It’s even better than any at Calabash. (Seriously, I have been saying this for years - actually since the first time they opened back in 1999 or 2000.) The breading is not too thick and not too thin. It's just right. I love their shrimp basket! Husband loves their oyster basket. The fries are sooooo good and crispy. I dip them in the cocktail sauce. Sometimes the cocktail sauce is not as horsey as we like it so we ask for a bit more horseradish. No problem! The slaw is good, I just wish there were more of it and maybe a bit more or thicker sauce to marry the flavors. It always tastes fresh!!! The basket is consistently good. We never get anything else because the basket is what we like! But I will make it my goal to try something different. Service: The staff always seem happy. That says a lot! The actual service is pretty good. It's a bit spotty depending on how busy it is. As we are retired, we go late lunch or early dinner and recommend you do too. Ambiance: I love the music they play and the decorations are fun! It’s like a day at the beach! Suggestion: Could you do a week night M-Th senior citizens hour 4-5 or 5-6? That would make me love you even more!?!?"

"I'm a super picky seafood eater when I'm not on a coast line. I enjoy Shuckers so much! Everytime we go the food is wonderful & the service exceptional. There is occasionally a wait time as they get crowded fast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A bar is available with specialty cocktails (my favorite is the blueberry lemonade vodka). You can't go wrong with anything food choice, but a few of my favorites are the baked oysters (a must have!), grouper sandwich, crab legs, gumbo, & the large combo platters!"
