    Not the greatest experience. I ordered some oysters, and a few were rancid. I ordered some mussels, and some of those were also bad. The waitress was really nice but checked in twice and disappeared. This is my second time giving this place a try. I’m sure every place has an off night, but I wouldn’t go back.

    I went to Shucks Oyster Bar with a group of friends and we had a really enjoyable night overall. I tried my very first oyster shot, and our server was fantastic at helping me choose one that would be beginner-friendly. The oyster came with cocktail sauce, horseradish, and a lemon wedge, and the cocktail sauce in particular was extra good. We shared the crab guacamole, which unfortunately wasn't a hit for me. It contains large chunks of jalapeño, and biting into one was a pretty harsh surprise--I nearly teared up from the heat. That may be a bonus for spice lovers, but it was painful and off-putting for me. In fairness, I should have read the ingredients more closely before ordering. For my meal, I had the lobster mushrooms and the crab cake appetizers as dinner. The crab cake was mostly crab (always a win) and very tasty. I also ordered the Moscato sangria, which was light, easy to drink, and came with fruit slices. The atmosphere made for a fun, relaxed evening with friends. Overall, a great spot, especially if you enjoy seafood and oysters.

    Ventured back to try a few more things on the menu. The crab stuffed flounder and Mahi shrimp kebab special was good. Was disappointed with the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. Only received 4 small ones and they were overcooked. Probably should have sent them back, but chalked it up as a lesson not to order them next time. Otherwise, great service and atmosphere.

    I visited this restaurant a few times as the food was incredible! Not only was the food at multiple locations delicious, the freshness of the food was wonderful. The staff was friendly, went above and beyond, and the plating was good. All the food eaten was just tasty and delicious. Highly recommend!
