We're firing one of our go to restaurants after last night. A couple of weeks ago we stopped in and I had the misfortune to order the simple shrimp basket. You'd think that's the one offering a local seafood spot would get correct. Charge what you want but get the meal right. Last night I decided I'd get the combo to see if a few dollars more would give me a reason to return. Nope. A few eraser sized oysters added to even less 40 count shrimp buried in a huge pile of fries. Did I mention huge? And the tuna appetizer was coarse. I'd guess it costs more to buy it fresh sans unchewable membranes. I gave two stars because my wife's salad looked great. It was topped with what looked like 26 count so they have them. Emily was a great server. Her efforts were wasted by horrible product. read more

Cute spot and close by. Restaurant is clean with nice restrooms. We ordered 5 dishes. We found the fries so salted they weren't edible. The fried cod had a strange texture and the shrimp are tiny. Now for the pluses: the scallops were excellent and that with a salad would be my go to. The wings were also a big hit. Best thing about our visit? Our server, Conner. He was on the ball, kind, and attentive. A stellar server! read more

My wife and I tried Shuckin Shack for the first time today. We were impressed with the food and the great service from our server Emma. The atmosphere was laid-back and fun. The oysters are a must-try,(sampler platter) whether you like them raw, steamed, or chargrilled. They were incredibly fresh and prepared perfectly. We also tried the oyster shooters and they were spicy good. The service is excellent and the staff was friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with a recommendation. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food and drinks. They have a full bar. You can choose to set at the bar or they can seat you in a booth. If you're in the mood for some fantastic seafood and a great vibe, you can't go wrong with Shuckin' Shack. We will definitely go back again. read more

Day one lunch started strong with the shrimp burger. Made in-house, chopped shrimp mixed with pure wonderfulness and fried to perfection--absolutely superb. I paired it with slaw and a roasted vegetable medley (extra roasted), which was phenomenal. The next day at lunch, I ordered the Greggah--their lobster roll. Perfectly seasoned cold lobster meat piled into a top-split, buttery roll, finished with a twangy mustard sauce that adds just the right kick, and served with drawn butter. On the side were roasted vegetables (excellent again) and slaw that was crunchy, creamy, and unmistakably Lowcountry in style. I also added the made-in-house, from-scratch crab balls appetizer. Perfection on a plate. Since I was in town working, I returned the following day for lunch and splurged a bit. It was Clam Day Wednesday. I had a dozen steamed clams, a half-pound of steamed shrimp, and a half-dozen Parmesan-style char-grilled oysters on the half shell. The clams were absolutely perfect--sweet, tender, juicy, and ready to be plucked from the shell. The oysters were delicate morsels of pure deliciousness. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, ideal with cocktail sauce. I left extremely satisfied. The restaurant sits on the corner of a shopping center with plenty of parking out front. Inside, you're likely greeted right away. There are tables, booths, and a full bar stocked with all the libations you could want. Be sure to check the chalkboard for daily specials and the current oyster selections. They brew their own tea--no mix, no concentrate. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

The oysters were great and the price is excellent. Service was also on par and very fast!

I stopped by Shuckin' Shack for lunch with my husband. This location is in West Ashley in the Plaza with Harris Teeter off of Bees Ferry Rd. There is plenty of parking. The vibe is very casual and laid back. The staff wear shorts and Tshirts. I was immediately greeted by Emma. She was super nice and made us feel welcome. She recommended the Oyster Sampler. So I ordered that and the Shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. I also ordered a "Dawn Patrol". This was an oyster shooter. It comes in a chilled shot glass with bloody mary mix, vodka, Pete's hot sauce and old bay seasoning around the rim. And there is a fresh raw oyster at the bottom. Very good. The oyster sampler did not disappoint. There were 4 raw, 6 steamed and 6 parmasan cheese and onion oysters. Crackers and cocktail sauce were at the table. Fresh minced horse radish , melted butter and a sweet Thai pepper jelly were served with the platter. The shrimp cocktail was a little disappointing because the shrimp were small and not jumbo as stated on the menu. The service was outstanding. I was thanked for my business and felt appreciated and valued. They offer many different types of seafood and some non- seafood choices. They offer daily specials and happy hour. I highly recommend that you visit. I will be back to explore more of the menu. read more

Such a fun spot. Visiting Charleston we stopped by Sunday afternoon for lunch. Relaxed atmosphere, we saw friends gathering at the bar to watch football, others for a great lunch. Menu was fun, staff was friendly and attentive, and food was excellent read more

I normally don't like to leave negative reviews but I think this warrants one. I always order from this place every time I visit Charleston because the food and portion size were decent except for this time... I called the restaurant to make sure that it wasn't a mistake. The person who answered the phone had no idea how many shrimp and scallops came in the combo. This is just sad for $16. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

THEY DO NOT SERVE LOCAL OYSTERS! Even during oyster season in our coastal town. When you try to buy the 3 buck per oysters they offer, you cannot get them steamed.. what? If im paying $3.00 per oyster, why cant i get them any darn way i want? Not a local restaurant! read more

I finally made my way back to Shuckin Shack last night. I had stopped coming due to the poor service last time. Well, I'm very glad I did. Shayna was my server and I could not have received better service. If this review were based on the service alone, this would be five stars. Everything was prompt. She anticipated my drink order, everything was accurate. Couldn't have been nicer. Thank you, Shayna!!!! The food was really good. I ordered oysters, a lobster roll, crab legs, mahi, and a side salad. Only had the salad and oysters at restaurant. All else was takeout. The lobster roll, just ok. Was filled with more cartilage than actually lobster. But on the whole, everything was great and I will be coming back again soon. read more

The atmosphere and the service here are the jewels of the experience but the food leaves a lot to be desired. I enjoyed the oysters the most, they are reasonably prices and likely some of the cheaper ones youll find in Charleston. I've been to this location twice and the first time they left little crabs inside of my oysters without asking if I were okay with that. They did remove them with no complaints, however. The shrimp quesadilla was very greasy and unpleasant to eat. Im not sure if it was the cheese but the greasiness was almost unbearable. Lastly, the salad was pretty good bc I enjoyed the size and I mostly ended up eating that. I honestly prefer the Summerville location as the food seems fresher and tastier at that one, so if you can choose I would say go to that one for better food! read more

Not the greatest but it's near and easy to get in. The people are friendly and helpful and the food is above average. I had shrimp app and steamed clams and raw oysters. The oysters are great but pricy. I tried 4 different small size. read more

This is a bar/restaurant scene. The raw oysters were fantastic. The peel and eat shrimp are very tasty. If you don't mind the bar scene, try out the seafood. read more

It's okay . Some pros of this new place is that if you live nearby in grand oaks, Shadowmoss, village green etc then you may appreciate having close access to a seafood place . They offer both indoor and outdoor dining options . The outdoor patio overlooks a drainage ditch but hey , something is better than nothing right . They have a full bar and lots on the menu . I ordered the shrimp . I didn't like it . #1 - They don't devein their shrimp . it's just lazy not to and basically they just give a big slap to the customer's face by saying , "eat shit! " (Shrimp shit that is ). #2 - it's definitely not local shrimp (not that they claim it is but still it's Charleston , ya gotta step it up ). #3 - I didn't care for the breading on the shrimp , just flaked off with no flavor . I'm sure I'm gonna go back due to the convenience of the location but it won't be on the top of my list . read more

Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar - Seafood Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

So my husband and usually have a rule with new restaurants... rule being, we wait a while until they work out all their kinks cause let's face it, it's hard to run a tight ship especially during a two year stint of Covid. Anyhow, we've been excited for this place for awhile and decided to just give it a whirl just one week after opening. Once arrived we put our names in as there was a wait. The wait was only like 15 minutes or so. Once seated we waited about 5 or so minutes and were greeting by our server. One thing, (and this is not just here) but man I wish when people saw a baby or toddler they would understand that you will tip well and not try to be "needy" but we want to eat and get out! Lol! We told our server we were ready to order when asked for our drinks and we stated we weee already ready. She said she'd be back but she has to take her book. So we waited, then she came back and we told her our order and that we just needed a kids water and two waters for us. And to bring his out as soon as it was ready. We waited about 15 minutes and then I asked her for our waters. Mind you it was steady, but she apologized and said she forgot. Shortly after our sons food came out and then another few minutes ours came out. My husband ordered the Low Country Boil: Shrimp, Sausage, Potatoes, and Corn steamed in Old Bay and served with Cole Slaw. I ordered the appetizer of six steamed shrimp dipped in old bay, chilled, and served with scratch made cocktail sauce with a side of sausage & potato's. And we ordered our son chicken fingers with chips and salsa. I'm normally picky with chicken but their chicken tenders were pretty legit and that honey mustard dip was amazing The portion of the broil was surely filling enough but the portions looked smaller than what you'd see at those places they shove it all in a bag, lol! But it was fresh, and not soaked in butter or sauce, in fact they serve it in a soufflé cup on the side. My shrimp cocktail was perfect and fresh and the cocktail sauce was superb. The sausage and potatoes were a perfect and I thought it was great to have this as a side item. Biggest complaint! It was sooooo loud. Like not only the people but the music. My son disliked the noise level too. It was so hard to even have a conversation. I like to be comfortable in a restaurant, this made it hard. Other than that, it was great and I'm sure, in time, the little kinks will be worked out! I think we will stick to before dinner crowd next time and hope that's all it was. Oh they also are working on happy hour! I asked if it was just food, drinks or both and she said she didn't have more info and they were working on entering all of the info into the system. What I can tell you is they write their daily everyday deals on the chalk board, (sorry I forgot a pic) and they all are appeasing! And then once happy hour is available it's from 4-7 Monday-Friday! read more

We got there at a decent hour to beat the crowd so to speak. Around 3pm. I wanted crab legs so here we went. My husband got the mahi sandwich with fries which was plenty to fill him up. I had 1/2 a pound of crab legs cooked perfect. I would've had another but they got swamped and service slowed considerably. Slaw was good and I would definitely recommend getting this again. Plan to go back and give some oysters a whirl. read more

So this is our place but I have to say...the dude cooking in the kitchen with the nasty ass beard is too much. How does DHEC let this happen. We have literally left because he was in the kitchen. His beard looks like Grizzly Adam's and he scratches his beard and head over the prep table. Takes his nasty hat off and wipes his forehead..scratches his head..and puts his hat back on and continues to prepare food. Even if he had gloves on..you have to change them. So gross! Either trim that nasty beard or put a hair net over his beard. He would still take his nasty hat off and scratch though. I think the owner seriously needs to educate him on hygiene or get him out of their window or the kitchen. read more

This was our first time there. we ordered two low country boils and shrimp and potatoes were perfect. The corn was soggy so we did not eat that. oysters were so yummy. Service was pretty good. ambiance was typical of a sports bar. yes we will go back but we all agree we will have the oysters. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here. Not that I had my doubts, but it was still a nice surprise. I came in last night with my family for a late dinner. I ordered the cold crab dip and calamari for an appetizer. Calamari was cooked really well and wasn't rubbery at all. It came with what I believe was a red pepper jam. The cold crab dip came with small buttered bread wafers, which I liked, but my daughter preferred the saltines. For an entree, I ordered the oyster po boy, and honestly, I ate all the oysters and left the bread behind. There were so many fried oysters. Excellent. My kids got a steamer bucket and ate the entire thing. Thank God because that bucket was wicked expensive. I know the market prices are not the best lately, but dang. Service was friendly and prompt at all times. Will be back, but no more steamer buckets for us. read more

This restaurant is wonderful friendly servers and great seafood! Good atmosphere in a neighborhood setting.

Service was amazing. We absolutely loved our waitress. Food was delicious but the clams and oysters could have been cleaned a lot better. Definitely prefer the W Ashley atmosphere over the Summerville location read more

Nice, clean, good place for a quick meal. The waitress was extra nice. I wish I got her name. My lobster roll was excellent. Shrimp and grits were good seemed very saucy but everyone puts their own spin on things. My only issue were the seats. They were so uncomfortable so if you are not small think of where your butt is going to sit for about an hour. They do have nice seating outside but it's too hot for me to sit outside. read more

Really good food and service! Get the blackened scallops and the corn! The shrimp basket is also excellent!

Great food !! I always get the shrimp scampi and the lobster rolls. I also enjoy the oyster shots as well.

We tried this place on a Sunday night after a long day at the beach. I had a friend visiting from out of town and she was really wanting crab legs. Service was friendly, menu was expansive and everything we ate was delicious. We got 1/2 lb. crab legs, a single low country boil and a lobster roll. Sides were also delicious (we opted for hush puppies instead of fries with our lobster roll). All of that was plenty of food for 2 people (we brought home enough left overs for at least 1 or possibly 2 more meals) and the total was only $60. Very reasonably priced for seafood and for the portions. read more

Excellent service and tasty food. As a person who enjoys dining solo, the experience can be hit or miss. Far too often, the server seems to assume I'm in a hurry and I feel like they are rushing throughout the entire meal to get me out the door as soon as they can. Tonight's experience was the opposite. Raelynn was very friendly and attentive from the start and never made me feel like a side note or inconvenience. Her personality and sense of humor had me smiling and relaxed throughout my time there. With such good service, the restaurant could have gotten away with average food, and I still would have given a positive review, but it turns out the food is fantastic too. I had the oysters on the half-shell and my only complaint (if you can call it that) was that a few of the oysters were mutilated when they were shucked so they didn't look appealing but tasted just fine. The Hermit sandwich with blackened tuna instead of cod was delish. I ordered the tuna rare, and they nailed it; although we're a seafood town, many places struggle with that request. I will definitely be returning. read more

Two places in a row on the "exceeded my expectations" train. Priced about as fairly as seafood gets these days. Charred oysters were great. Maybe a little spicy for some with all the toppers on them, but I like spicy and you can always get them without them. The combo Po Boy. You're still not in NOLA but it's a heck of a lot more carefully done than a lot of the other options in this town. It scratches that itch just fine if you got it and don't feel like driving for 9 hours. Service was very friendly. We didn't have any alcohol today but the options on tap and liquor looked like there's a good amount of options. read more

Fresh local seafood. Everything freshly prepared and delicious! Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgable staff. 75 cents steamed oysters!! Great burger. Kids meals very well executed with fresh seafood options. Fun sports bar atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

The oysters were so fresh and sweet! So delish. Tasted like caught fresh out from the ocean. I did not like the lobster roll. It was not worth the price and tasted just light salt. Lobster in it was a good amount but the whole item is a miss. Server was nice and knowledgeable young man. read more

Nice atmosphere, fantastic fried fish and shrimp platter with yummy French fries. Tried the crab ball appetizer - liked it, but want to try others. Had a nice oyster shooter for $5 - started the meal well. Stay tuned after we come here again, for we surely shall! (My wife from New England wants to try the lobster roll). read more

Middle of a Sunday afternoon. Had the place almost to ourselves, but as more people came, it got super loud. Very echo-y. Sound absorbers, people! Food was okay, but I'm not thinking my fried shrimp were local. Still good. The shrimp in the boil (15% off on Sundays) was plentiful, but not cleaned. Old bay flavor was okay, maybe next time we'll try the lemon pepper. Best thing was the bread served with the crab dip. Yum. Service was quick. We'll come again, but fix the deveining, the "localness" of the seafood and the sound! read more

Love the atmosphere here! Pretty blue lights and games on the tv to play along with. Service has always been welcoming and friendly. I recently had the lobster roll and that's all I can think about!! The flavors were bursting in my mouth, I love the hush puppies they are very flavorful! Prices are a little high but everything is now a days. Thanks for having us! read more

We came to the West Ashley location on Mother's Day for dinner since the Summerville location was packed. And I'm glad we did! The service was excellent. They were so attentive and refilled our drinks several times. I was craving seafood and was happy to get some yummy oyster appetizers and then some crab and shrimp. The crab was a decent serving and the shrimp in lemon pepper were so tasty! The crab didn't even need any butter because it had so much flavor. We will be going here again....and now I'm craving it while I'm writing this review! read more
