    Shuckers is back as Back 2 Shuckers. We dined in for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was slammed because it's the night for their steam specials. Luckily we had no issues being seated at the bar and parking out front. We started off with a round of drinks (a beer for me and the Dark and Stormy for him) and the crab dip. For our meals it was the coriander crusted mahi with grits and veggies for me and the grouper with potatoes and veggies for my husband. The crab dip was so good. I thought that my fish was just okay but the grouper was good. It's worth a visit if you are in OKI.

    The crab dip stole the show!!!! I wasn't too into the menu and offerings but decided to go with the dip and it was amazing. They offered good beverages. The pain killer was nice and sweet.

    Great food and low key ambience. On the weekends be prepared to wait for a table. Tonight (Wednesday) at 6 they were only moderately busy but absolutely everything was ON POINT! They really DO have THE best crab dip on the island and it's a generous portion at that!!

    I stopped in here tonight for dinner cause everywhere else was on a long wait. The hostess was very nice and I had a seat at the bar. The bar seating was very comfortable and I ordered a Bloody Mary (which was delicious). The bartender was very nice, too. I ordered a dozen clams and 1/2 pound of shrimp. Both were great! The side salad was also good with adds fruit on it. This is just a chill place if you are loping for something more fancy.

    Always amazing food and good service stays packed…read more Has a bar and a pretty good amount of seating

    We recently had dinner at Tranquil Harbour and unfortunately the food didn't live up to the…read moreexcellent service. Our waiter and the staff were all friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. We started with the fried shrimp appetizer, which had far too much breading and overwhelmed the shrimp itself. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside but undercooked and doughy in the center. My husband and I both ordered the OKI Surf & Turf. The crab cake was the standout of the meal--flavorful and well prepared--but the filet tasted more like a sirloin than a tender filet. My mother-in-law ordered the scallops, which arrived undercooked and had to be sent back. While the kitchen quickly corrected the issue, the scallops that came back had a weird texture. We also had a Caesar salad and a garden salad. Both were fresh enough, but neither was particularly memorable. The garden salad included Asiago cheese, which overpowered the other ingredients rather than complementing them. $3 extra for each salad-- not worth it. The atmosphere was beachy and casual with tons of young families. The bar had an older crowd but fun. I would suggest that the bar should have a frozen drink machine or blender for frozen drinks. Overall, the service was great and the staff worked hard to make our experience enjoyable, but the food was disappointing and not something we'd go out of our way to return for.

From the outside it…read morelooks pretty unassuming, and when you walk in it feels like a classic bar-style restaurant. That said, it was fairly crowded for a Sunday night, especially considering it's the off-season in Oak Island (though it was marathon weekend). Overall, we had a really good experience. Service was a bit slow, and they were out of several menu items -- including wings (they run a Sunday wing special), crab cakes, and fish. Even with those misses, everyone in our group enjoyed their food. I had the fried shrimp basket and it was excellent. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the fries were great as well. No complaints there. If I had to nitpick, the lighting inside was a little harsh -- the blue walls combined with bright daylight bulbs made the space feel colder than it needs to be. A softer lighting setup would go a long way. A few TVs weren't working, and as mentioned, service was slower than ideal, but nothing that ruined the night. Bottom line: good food, a lively atmosphere, and a place we'd definitely come back to -- especially now that we know what to expect.

They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.
