With our first game at 10:00 a.m., coffee was a must, so we found a little place called Coal River Coffee Company. The coffee was outstanding, and the welcoming atmosphere immediately reminded us of our hometown of London, Ohio. As we were leaving, we noticed Shuckers Seafood & Italian Fare just down the street and decided we'd give it a try after our games. We went with another baseball family, and between all of us, just about every part of the menu was represented. Seafood, Italian dishes, appetizers, desserts--you name it. Every single meal was incredible. In fact, it was so good that we came back the very next evening! I'm not sure who was happier when we walked in for round two--our waitress, Reagan, who greeted us like old friends, or our group knowing we were about to have another amazing meal. Her service was exceptional, and the entire staff made us feel right at home. From the incredible food to the friendly service and hometown atmosphere, Shuckers exceeded every expectation. If your travels ever take you through the Charleston or St. Albans area, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret it. Thank you, Reagan, and everyone at Shuckers, for making our baseball weekend even more memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

Cocktails are mid and over $15 with mostly bourbon selections. If you're going to charge like a cocktail bar in California then I'm expecting something better than mid. First time I called for takeout they made me give my cc# over the phone for 'security reasons' on an order with only two entrees. Did not quote me the price first. Second time I paid for take out is when I noticed the 15% service fee and when I asked about it, staff said 'the manager is already gone' and I was unable to get clarification. It's not COVID anymore, if I'm ordering the out, it's to make dinner more economical. However with this sneaky, and completely undisclosed service fee, I'm taking Paulie's off my rotation. The manager never even called me back when I left my number. That's service right there! Taking my business somewhere else.

He gave us a head up about the calamari that it is cooked different than most places. He was right, at first we were skeptical and unsure what to think of it. The next thing we knew we looked down and we'd finished the plate. The lobster crab ravioli may have been the best Italian dish I've ever had. The sauce was fantastic. We also had the spicy vodka ziti and added chicken. The chicken was wonderful. The sauce wasn't too spicy which my wife enjoyed. Overall this is a great experience. Meal was $125 after tip so it is on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

I sat down and received a much larger amount of food than I ever imagined for under $10. LeighAnn came by and checked on me twice to see if everything was okay or if I needed anything. The food was very good for fast food Italian, and they had to-go boxes and bags ready for leftovers along with peppermint candies. I highly recommend for a nice, clean restaurant for an inexpensive lunch.

Unfortunately, the food and service don't live up to the atmosphere. One and done for us. First bad sign was how long we waited at the hostess stand before a hostess approached. A bartender acknowledged us as we walked in - but a restaurant that's serious about service or food doesn't leave you standing there. And the place was mostly empty. The food was ok. The Arancini risotto balls were pretty good. All the food was rushed, like they were in a race to close the kitchen (but it wasn't late). Our salads arrived while we were still eating our app, and our entrees arrived while we were still eating our salads. The salad was no different than you'd get at a cafeteria or chain restaurant. For my entree, they were out of the snapper, my first choice. I had the Chicken Picatta, which was ok. No big complaints, but nothing remarkable. My wife had the stuffed peppers, which ironically were very undercooked and the meat sauce was nearly room temperature. We both had cocktails, which were good, but not good enough to have another and linger around. The waiters were nice enough, but ours (and the other one nearby that I could overhear) sure seemed to be learning their first time server jobs. These were not experienced waiters that make recommendations, describe the dishes in detail, the way the food is prepared or sourced, etc. I wonder if they even have a single experienced waiter on the staff at all, who could help train the rest? Very interesting building, but the food and service didn't live up to our expectations.

MIL got spaghetti with marinara with chicken. I splurged and got shrimp & scallop risotto... There was enough for every dish to have a take home meal. But that risotto... so cheesy and flavorful.
