They also aren't afraid to add a little heat, but as somebody who doesn't like their food too spicy nothing here was overdone. I'm really glad we decided to stop during a road trip up 95. Now, the place is loud, so if that's not your jam maybe try take out because the food is top notch. We didn't like our drinks, as we opted to be a little adventurous here. I ordered a mezcal drink with orange and pineapple, she ordered an orange version of the house marg. We both decided maybe we should just try the standard marg next time. Also for what it's worth, our server spoke very little English. Overall, I rate restaurants on if we'd come back or not. Well let me tell you, I live 6 hours away and on the way out we were wondering if it would be worth the drive for dinner. The answer is absolutely yes.

It was cheaper for us (myself & the cubs) to get the family platter instead of individual meals. Let me tell you something!! It did NOT disappoint!! Food was prepared fresh and very flavorful & plentiful. We decided on the Big Bang with a medium spice level. Our server was very nice and friendly and didn't mind answering a few questions and making sure our food was to our liking. Per usual, the hubby ordered a shrimp and fish platter which was also a nice portion. This is a great restaurant, so much so I have recommended it to several people!

I ordered the three-piece tilapia with extra rice and salad, and it was perfect. Overall, my experience was a solid 10 out of 10. Big shoutout to Eddie and Yessenia, you guys rock!

They have a big space though there are also a lot of chairs and tables around. Food was good. The brisket was tender. Options for sides include mac & cheese, collard greens, string beans, broccoli, Spanish rice, potatoes au gratin, baked beans, coleslaw, fruit salad, corn bread, yams, french fries, etc. The coleslaw and baked beans were also good. For desserts, we enjoyed the bread pudding and peach cobbler. Would have given this place a 4/5 for food but service was really bad. Food took a long time to be served. This we understood because it was really a busy day. Because the cloth napkins smelled like rancid oil, we just asked for paper napkins. This took ~30 minutes before we got some. We also asked for some condiment. Since no one was checking on our table, we had to stand up and approach one of the staff to follow up on this, not once but twice but some vinegar never came. Though our server Gracie acknowledged and apologized for the bad service, service was still crappy and disappointing.

You can usually seat yourself, and the staff greets you promptly. They offer a full bar, house-brewed tea, rotating desserts, lunch and dinner options, and TVs with closed captioning so you can catch a game or trivia. Their seafood selection is excellent, with oysters and other items served fried, steamed, blackened, grilled, and more. They list the origin of their shrimp, clams, and oysters on the wall, and the chalkboard specials change depending on where the oysters were sourced that day. The "Greggah" lobster roll was perfection--a generous portion of chilled lobster in their signature sauce on a top-cut, buttery soft bun. The slaw served with it was creamy, cold, fresh, slightly sweet, and had the right tang. The sausage and potatoes side was one of the best staples from this restaurant group. A later snack of fried clam strips and fried oysters showed the same quality. Everything was freshly breaded, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. It came with hush puppies, coleslaw, and a house-made tartar sauce that was spot-on. Another visit included a house salad with homemade ranch and the double-decker crab cake sandwich--two fresh, in-house-made crab cakes stacked together with coleslaw on the side. It was outstanding. Consistently fresh seafood, friendly service, clean atmosphere, and reliable quality make this Shuckin' Shack location a solid choice whether you're in town briefly or a regular local.

That being said, my server was very friendly and attentive! I ordered the Cappy's Roast and it was a good portion of food. I agree with others that the shrimp is not very flavorful. I do think the just boil it up and then season it after the fact. I found myself de-shelling them all first and adding Old Bay to them before eating them. The oysters were pretty good. Not top of the line but definitely passing and delicious. The corn on was NOT dry but also was not seasoned at all, nothing a little salt and melted butter couldn't fix. The drinks, on the other hand, were strong and super tasty. Definitely "bar" is their strong suit. Overall I say this is definitely worth a visit and the prices are fair on par with what you get vs quality

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

While the menu offers a wide variety of options, the overall experience at this location fell short. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, the restaurant appeared noticeably unclean. The tables were extremely dirty, and the restroom had no soap available, which is a major concern. Additionally, the ice cream machine looked poorly maintained, further raising questions about sanitation standards. As for the food, it did not meet the level I typically associate with Freddy's. The burger bun was falling apart, as if it were stale, and the bacon was overcooked. The burger itself was very basic and lacked the flavor and quality I've come to expect. I also tried the new taco item, but it was underwhelming and not particularly memorable. Based on the cleanliness issues and the decline in food quality, I would not return to this location.

Quality of food was also eh, had maybe one or two things that I can say I truly enjoyed and the rest was tolerable. I see now that pricing for what is offered was brought up... definitely an issue. Three people and two sodas was slightly over $70! We could have went to a great restaurant for that cost. It was a bit dark and outdated inside. Walking around the buffet was also tight and you had to move out of people's way. Service was friendly at least. Def would never return unfortunately.
