Was in the area at another event, came downtown to hit the popcorn spot next door and decided to pop in. Glad we made that decision. Walked into a warm welcome, real neighborhood bard feel to the place which is not a bad thing at all. Order the grilled oysters both garlic parm and jalapeno. The jalapeno was good but the garlic parm was great. Also order the blackened chicken nachos. These were some of the most well rounded flavored nachos I had. Next time in the area will surely stop back by. read more

Carol was an excellent bartender--attentive, friendly, and very professional. She took great care of us, suggested a variety of drinks, and even let us taste them before choosing. Everything she recommended was delicious, especially the oyster Bloody Margarita shot. We had a truly wonderful experience with her! Highly recommended this place . read more

this tends to be one of the places downtown Frederick that a lot of people frequent. Depending on what you're looking for it's decent bar space and the food is not bad for bar food. 1+ is being able to get a whole chicken wings at a decent price and having flavor options. Bartender was very kind. It was a busy bar and she was able to take care of everyone in a timely manner and seem to be very familiar with different drink options and even offered suggestions. read more

Recommend the 716 wrap. Pretty good, bar/college vibes with lots of screens great for gameday. Read your bill carefully as we had some issues with the market price not as advertised by our server so we had to correct it. Small thing but otherwise recommended. read more

I had the lobster roll which I believe was one of the more popular items on the menu. It was a bit pricey but decent. I would have rated this place a 4 but there was some inconsistencies with the pricing on the menu / said by the server vs. what we were charged so we ended up staying there longer than we wanted to. The vibe is very much sports bar so fine if you're info that. read more

Food was great. I had oysters and the chicken tenders. Homemade mignonette was super delish. A very busy Saturday night so it took a sec for drinks, no problem tho. The drinks were poured nicely and me and my group had a great time. No soap in the men's room, I told a staff member and they seemed they couldn't care less, still no soap an hour later. With this many people packed in, giving everyone access to soap seems pretty important. But still a fun place to visit if you don't mind a packed college-bar vibe on the weekends, and if you love oysters they do them right. read more

This spot is almost always an entertaining place to have a few drinks with friends. It's also great for Sunday Football watching.

Night life there is fantastic and security is also top notch gets people throw the line quick and effective

This place is great if you're looking for good food and good drinks, their oysters are always fresh and local. The service is usually pretty good. If I had to make a suggestion/ complaint, my shrimp Po Boy had wayyyy too much shrimp on it, and it wasn't really a Po Boy in the traditional sense of one. But hey, what do I know, I'm just from Louisiana. read more

This place was so good we went TWICE in one day. When I say so good I don't mean it's the best I've ever had, I just love a place with oysters, crab legs, beer, and bar food all in one place. I live in Philly so we don't get to do this often. Prices were great and service was decent for a bust st paddy's weekend. read more

Sunday, while on Tony's Birthday Trip, We stoppedin Frederick, MD for lunch. We went down near the canal way to the Shuckn Shak Oyster Bar. I was very excited. I was trying to show him we can have good seafood and not be in Florida. We took a seat midway through the narrow restaurant. Tony ordered PBR in a can and I went with Unsweetened Tea With lemon & lime. I ordered a half dozen Baked Oysters with Jalapeño & Cheese. It said Char-Broiled but it tasted more baked. They were very good! Tony ordered a Steak Burger Medium Rare with Tomato Lettuce & Onion, topped with cheese & a Garlic Sauce with fries & Cole Slaw. I went with the LOW Country Boil with Jumbo Shrimp, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob & Sausage slices in Old Bay Seasoning with side of Cole Slaw. No room for dessert! Highly recommend and will definitely go back if we are ever playing around that area again!!! read more

Ok. Don't get this wrong it's a dive bar. But in the best way. Great service. Good food and great value. I had fun. There is way more science to oyster than you think. Opening them correctly so no grit is there is not easy. I will definitely be back. read more

OK, I just have to say I had the most fabulous experience at the shucking shack oyster bar! The variety of oysters were all delicious, the local oysters ludicrously tasty! The blackened shrimp poutine was divine as well. I really appreciate that I could buy one oyster at a time as opposed to half a dozen as I wanted to try a variety of different oysters, ended up buying a dozen anyway because they're just that incredibly delectable. Our waitress Tiffany was absolutely wonderful, service all around top-notch! Fantastic ambience, I am talking high-quality food here folks... so good in fact, I would be more than happy to scrub the kitchen floor in exchange for a few local oysters and some more of that poutine! read more

This has become our happy hour go to. A dozen house oysters and Lb of steam shrimp. They interesting selection of beers. Not to mention happy hour crush.Staff is always happy and helpful read more

Shuckin' Shack isn't typically on my regular rotation, mostly due to its small size, how quickly it gets packed, and the historically underwhelming service. In past visits, the staff has rarely come across as welcoming, and unfortunately, this visit was no different. I stopped in just for drinks this time, and to their credit, the crush menu is pretty extensive. The drinks tasted as expected--nothing groundbreaking, but they get the job done, and the pricing is fair. That said, the staff still seemed less than enthusiastic to be there, which continues to be a recurring theme. There also appears to be a pattern of catering more to their regulars, while new faces feel more like an afterthought. If you're looking for a quick drink and don't mind squeezing into a tight space, it's fine. But if you're expecting warm service or an above-average experience, there are better options nearby. read more

Spousal Unit and I went on a pub crawl with a bunch of neighbors. The Shack was our last stop - and a good stop it was. Really nice beer selection, a blackboard with a lot of crush drink options (as befits a proper seafood shack in Maryland), and a really nice menu. To start I ordered nachos for the table (ok, not great) and oysters on the half shell for me. Oysters (or as we say in Bawlmer "ersters") were sourced from Virginia waters. They were sweet with a little briny taste, and were served with three sauces: mignonette, ketchup, and an interesting horseradish/chopped red pepper mix. For dinner SU had an oyster po' boy and I went with the fried oyster plate. Fried oysters and cole slaw were really good but fries were pretty blah - they needed to be saltedwhen hot from the fryer, and some malt vinegar would have been great. Service and server were great, and prices were reasonable. Nice place, will go back! read more

A BLT at a seafood restaurant? Yes please. The bacon was in abundance and crispy, the bread was toasted and buttered and layered with a decent amount of mayo, the tomato was fresh as well. The fries were crispy hot and seasoned. The coleslaw was dry though, it def could've used more sauce but it was fine as a side. I also got a side of potato salad but it was not it at all, sadly. read more

I visited for Happy hour (M-F 3-7), they don't have any food deals but have pretty good drink deals. Also, they offer a dollar oyster, so I got a dozen. Oysters were big and fresh. I also got Char grilled oysters ($1.5 for HH) it was delicious. They have a decent selection of draft beer. The restaurant is always packed with regulars and quite loud environment, but enjoyable. I haven't tried any food other than oysters but wings smelled so good, so I'm going to visit next time for wings! read more

Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar - Oysters! - Bars Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I came here for brunch and sat outside! While brunch isn't their main business here, we will enjoyed it! My friend got the crab cake Benny and I got huevos rancheros nachos. It was fairly quiet in the restaurant with plenty of places to sit and we chose to sit outside in their side patio. I also tried the mimosa flight! The nachos weren't my favorite because it was a little too greasy for breakfast IMO but the crake cake Benedict was flavorful and a good size portion. I'll have to come back for happy hour or dinner. It's also conveniently located by Carroll creek so you can go for a post-meal stroll. read more

Went to check this place out for the AFC Championship game after posting a Facebook post in a local community group asking for the best spot to watch the game with audio playing through the speakers and this place was the most mentioned. It's located downtown Frederick so parking may be challenging but there is a parking garage located right off the alley that's a few feet left of the bar/restaurant. The decor was unpretentious and supported all of the local sports teams, multiple renditions of the Maryland flag, and coastal/seafood themed props - as a Maryland I love it! It's a little dive-y but it had a strong sense of community. The bartender took a longer than I appreciated to come get my drink order considering I had already dropped my Wife off and she had already grabbed two seats at the bar and ordered herself a drink from said bartender. However, she finally did take my order she tended to warm up and check-in on us throughout our stay as one would expect. They had a great beer selection and they had some great specials ($1 wings, $1.50 baked oysters, and $5 crushes). We ordered the wings and the seafood sampler (calamari, shrimp, and cold crab dip). The best thing was the crab dip but most of the other starters on the menu did seem fried. I can't speak on the raw oysters (I plan on trying them next time) but I probably wouldn't come here necessarily exclusively for the food. However, it's a great place to have a few drinks and watch the game in a fun atmosphere!! read more

Great little bar and restaurant specializing in oysters and shellfish. We just stopped in for a beer and an appetizer. The bartender was working the bar and all the tables but she was on it. She greeted us when we sat down and she took our order within minutes. We decided on a couple of beers and Shrimp Nachos. The shrimp were grilled perfectly and the nachos were topped with queso and was just the bite to eat we wanted. This place is popular and busy. If it's too full, just come back. You won't regret it. read more

Second time in a week. Im obsessed w crushes so the first time was for some drinks. They do orange crushes right! Tonight we went for some crushes and seafood. I really debated on giving this place a five. I will come back again and edit after a few visits. I love the chill atmosphere with friendly staff. The name says it all- not over the top or pretentious - seafood served right. They make the cocktail sauce in house and it is perfection. Just enough kick. My husband and I had the pick 3 steamed and chose the mussels, shrimp, and crab legs. It was at MP, under $30 each and the perfect portion size. I ate everything on my tray! This might become our go-to joint... read more

Great dive bar to watch games. Perfectly cooked whole chicken wings which was a pleasant surprise. Good oysters and great crushes of course.

I don't like breaded wings. But I love their breaded wings. Stopped in on a Sunday night. When u order a crush ask for unflavored vodka and fruit, vodka and some club soda. Or you will get a sweet drink. Darlene makes a great drink. And she is sweet and deserves a raise ! Sunday whole wings $1.50 each. What a deal!!! read more

How have i not gone here before? Swung by with a friend and went smack middle in the afternoon! We were able to share a table with two gentlemen and just by seeing their dish i knew what i wanted. We did a dozen round of their raw oysters forgot the name but they were slightly salty and huge. So fresh and delicious! Then two orders of those shark bite shrimps i believe their happy hour special the breading was amazing on it but that sauce.... WOW! Then we had a lobster roll each the lobster itself tasted fresh and so flavorful. I won't lie it was kind of small compared to others i've had but it was also a small place for fredrick MD. We ordered two michelada does the first time needless to say i will be back for more food! If you haven't tried it please swing by! Our waiter did leave us without saying anything but the bartenders are sweet and helped us out! read more
