This place is 5 stars all the way. We were there for dinner and they had a power outage. The whole situation was handled amazing. In addition the broiled oysters were fantastic. We never got our full meal so I will need to give them another shot.

I need to update my original review, which I keep below for comparison. Wow this dinner was good. We had the mussel appetizer (apparently not on the menu), these were cooked with garlic diced tomatoes and seasoning. Fantastic. The scallop from the grill with a pineapple garnish was really good too. Had it with the Okra, which was very lightly breaded and very fresh. The raw oysters were much better than the steamed. Flavor was light and the shells still had a bit of crusties, but still a good treat. The steak, brought out perfectly rare to my liking, has such a good butter pepper flavor and paired with the broccoli was a perfect meal. Pumpkin cheese cake. Picture tells the story. Staff again were very good. This was a perfect dinner. Thank you to the team here for recommending these dishes. ——- the first visit review Going against the common opinion here, we were quite disappointed in the seafood quality. The half peck were small and dry from over steaming, the shrimp in the seafood chowder were mushy, the grilled shrimp on the salad were over cooked to almost rubbery. Yes, hush puppies were good. I do want try again, will go for the scallops, and salmon next time which seem like sure hits here. The atmosphere is nice. Unfortunately the food didn’t cut it for our dinner date this time.

My first experience with my hubby was pretty good! We went for lunch with our 3-year-old son, and they had a great selection on the kids' menu with crayons to color, which is great. We decided to do appetizers only and ordered chicken wings, chicken salad, stuffed mushrooms, and calamari along with our drinks. The food was really good, although I wouldn't order the stuffed mushrooms again because the taste was to bland for us. Everything else was great! Our server was amazing and on tip of things. Other employees also greeted us with pleasure. It is definitely a great date night setting with low lighting too

Spectacular food and service. Every single dish exceeded expectations. The oysters were super fresh. The pecan-encrusted trout was original and delicious. The wasabi tuna was better than in our favorite Japanese restaurant in New York. Our waiter Vince was a delight and manager Emma threw in a yummy key lime pie to top off an unforgettable lunch.

The atmosphere was great except they have a lot of tables on the middle floor and we felt like people were looking at us as we ate. The rest was great, the food was spectacular, and waitstaff good. We’ve been a few times and only once was our waitress delayed on our needs. The oysters are to die for and any of the desserts are promising. All around great place.

Went today for my birthday dinner. The food and atmosphere were amazing. The server was very nice but left us without drink refills several times. Apparently, there were two other women who were exceptionally special, but in any case, the food was amazing. I had wanted the Pecan Chipotle Trout, but they were out, so I had the chargrilled Mahi with fried okra. The hushpuppies that were brought put were perfect, crispy on the outside, and soft in the middle. My husband had the big sob. It is steamed shrimp, oysters, mussels, andoullie sausage, potatoes, corn, onions, and peppers. Everything I tried was amazing, and there was so much of it we took the rest to go.

Shuckers Oyster Bar & Grill. A very popular place to dine in, judging by how crowded the restaurant was. We had a wonderful meal there. Each are something different from the other. The steak, the burgers, sushi and the fried salmon. All dishes were perfectly cooked. Generous servings too.
