    Our waiter was a very friendly person to only one table. We were more or less ignored most of the time. Needless to say he didn't get a tip from us.

    I’ve been to shucks loads of times, pacific and downtown locations. Always good service, always good food. Last night we got to go and the food was incredible! Not only that when I was picking up my order every single server stopped at the counter when walking by and asked if I had been helped yet! Literally 4 different people which to me is incredible service and shows a level of awareness of all their servers. I compliment your management on training and making sure you hire people who CARE! Because now a days that isn’t always easy to find. Kudos to the pacific location on running a tight ship and making sure their customers leave beyond happy!!

    10/28/2025 Went for a visit because I needed my fix of oysters and the group raved about this place having fresh seafood. What I didn’t not expect was the bar scene which was fine very clean and well stocked. I got the Caesar salad with the fried fish, it really wasn’t anything to write home about dressing was alright but I did notice brown bits in the salad ( I’m not too phased by it but just a heads up for anyone else). The fish was soo good crispy and flaky just how I like it, felt like it could use more dressing. My friend got the lobster roll which absolutely hit perfectly mixed with the soft bun. We got 2 rounds of oysters my favorite were the ones from Delaware they were plum and so flavorful not so much the prince edward ones. My favorite part of the whole meal was the clam strips the taste on those bad boys had me finishing everything on the plate highly recommend. Service was great we were continually checked on to make sure drinks were full and all our needs were met. Bathroom rating: 5/5

    Went at the recommendation of friends, but was very disappointed. I don’t know if they were having a bad day or a bad batch, because many of the reviews here are good. I got the fish and chips, and was pleased with the serving size and texture of the breading, but it was SO SALTY that I literally could not finish. I love fish and chips, but this was the worse I’ve ever experienced and left feeling very disappointed.

    As an out-of-towner Shucks was recommended to me by some locals for great seafood, and they were totally correct! This place is awesome! They live, sleep, eat, qnd breathe sea food here. The atmosphere is very unique as I've never seen a fish market and bar in a restaurant before. Loved the vibes, they've got cool decor and an interesting layout to say the least. I took my food to-go so I didn't really receive much service but they were super nice at the front door as well as the counter for to-go orders. Food was amazing, I've never had grilled oysters, always just shot them raw but I may be a changed man! They were freaking amazing and I loved them maybe entirely way too much. I want more of them. Got 5 oysters and 2 pieces of grilled bread for 13 dollars and I feel that it was a fair price. I also ordered the fish and chips, not sure what kind of fish they used but it was amazing. Lightly battered and well seasoned. Good light crust that tastes great with a fair amount of crunch, I was not disappointed in the remoulade either. The chips were a little strange to me as I was expecting something akin to French fries but received something closer to hash browns instead. They didn't have much seasoning but they did also have a great crunch! Overall I wish I had known about Shucks sooner because they are amazing. If I make a return trip to Omaha, Shucks will be on my list to be revisited for sure.
