The fried oysters were great. Can't wait to go back and try some other stuff in their service. It was good it's a small intimate restaurant they have live music some time which I enjoyed cute date night place and I don't really drink beer but the pineapple cider was good. read more

This is a very popular location. It's worth the wait. I had the surf and turf the wings were fabulous. They were meaty and well cooked. I recommend the blackened shrimp. Others had oysters in all different ways-they too were great. The crown jewel was the Shrimp and grits. Seems like every we ordered was excellent. read more

I was thoroughly impressed with this little seafood joint. The oysters tasted almost like I was back home pulling them fresh out of the creek and shucking them on the bow of a boat. Service is the primary factor to prompt a speedy return visit. I will be back very soon. The atmosphere and live music sealed the deal. The ONLY thing that I would change is the name of your crème brûle cheesecake to a Cheesecake with caramel. read more

The food at Shuckin' Shack is more than abundant, but so is the price. However, it's not too crazy ridiculously expensive either. I had seen Shuckin' Shack when vacationing at Carolina Beach and Wilmington. When visiting my mom in Salisbury, and she told me they'd just opened one there, we decided to try it for lunch. We walked in and were seated right away - it wasn't a super busy day. We were able to order quickly and get our food. I'm a huge fan of fried shrimp, so that's what I got. It was delicious! I enjoyed my meal at Shuckin' Shack. The price is what will make it an occasional place to visit (when I'm in town), but not a place I visit every time. read more

This was my first time eating here as I am not a big fan of seafood. However, I needed a change from my norm and decided that this was the place to go. My fiancee and I got the crab balls and a shrimp appetizer. Both were delicious. He ordered a flounder basket for his main course. It came with 2 pieces of flounder and a side. Usually it comes with french fries, but he was allowed to substitute those for corn on the cob. He had to let food cool. It was freshly cooked and too hot to eat right away. He was fine with that because he was being entertained by a fight that was being broadcast on one of the restaurant's many big screens. After his food cooled, he ate and stated that the flounder was thick and well seasoned and he was also satisfied with the corn. I ordered shrimp and grits. This dish was also freshly prepared and piping hot when it arrived at the table. Let me tell you, this dish was absolutely divine. Lots of goodies ( shrimp, andouille, tomatoes, etc. ) with just the right amount of grits. It made my taste buds dance. Very flavorful. The serving size was more than plenty and I ended up taking half of it home. Since we came in kind of late, the place wasn't crowded and the service was great. Our server was helpful at answering any questions I had about the menu or the items on it. She was very attentive at keeping our drinks filled and stopped by the table regularly to check on us. The only downside to this place is the prices. It's too expensive to make a weekly visit to, but not too expensive as to scare me off. It was approximately $49 for the 2 of us before tip. The main courses were priced fairly, but the apps were rather costly. The only reason to validate the prices of the apps is they are shareable. I will go back and highly recommend it. read more

Shuckin' Shack - Best shrimp and grits I've ever had! - Seafood Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

I was in town looking for lunch and most of the seafood choices don't open until 3-4pm so I decided to give this place a first try. I was skeptical b/c as I approached on foot, there was a very long line at the hot dog joint right next door. My fear jumped even more when I looked inside the screen door and noticed the place was nearly empty at 1300 on a Friday! It's normally a bad sigh when u have a very long line stretching down the block and an empty place right next door. But alas, I was pleasantly surprised!! This place looks like a hole in the wall but it was really great; very much the small town wonder!! The service was great, the food, delicious, and the price very reasonable. I had the grilled shrimp quesadillas with nachos. The quesadilla was chock full of hot, juicy shrimp and cheese filling; everything was fresh and good. As I was leaving the line next door was down to a few. I looked at them and smiled, so full and pleased with my choice, just wanted to say, u guys are missing out!! read more

This is our go to place in Salisbury. The food is always excellent, I like the steamed shrimp and my wife is a big fan of grilled oysters with cheese. The staff is exceptional and always friendly. The beer is always cold and sometimes you get lucky and catch live music. read more

My fiancé and I came here yesterday for a lunch. The decor is intentional dive bar and the bartender made us feel like locals. The food was right on point, I had shrimp and it was really fresh and perfectly breaded. The fries were a touch under cooked and could have used a dusting of Old Bay, no seasoning at all. They don't have Heinz ketchup which, for a Steelers bar, seems really off key. Overall this was a great experience and absolutely will return. read more

Great location on the main drag in Downtown Salisbury. We noticed that many places were closed on Mondays. Shuckin' Shack presented themsevles as a destination spot to eat with 75 cent Shuck Yourself Oysters and $4 draft beers. It had a local seafood bar feel. We did not know this was a regional chain until we talked with another customer who had been coming to this location for years. Our server Kaitlin was very knowledgeable on the Oyster variety both raw and steamed. The raw oysters were unbelievable, and we tried all 3 varieties available: Raspberry Point, Blue Point, and Jamestown Bay. Great hot sauce selection and condiments to eat with oysters. The Oyster Bombs were intriguing. This is a raw oyster with a custom made shot. We tried their two premium shots, but overall it was underwhelming. This is a must try when you are in Salisbury or even passing through. read more

Been here several times now and they have changed so therefore amending my review: -No longer have Moscato wine (found out that what I had before was "left over from opening" -Servers are slow to refill drink glasses, even at the bar -I had to ask about our appetizer. the "forgot" our appetizer -finally got the appetizer and the server dropped and ran..had to flag down to get plates and silverware -ordered a sampler plater with oysters/crab/shrimp: oysters are their specialty and steam well, so they were good; crab was over cooked and chewy; shrimp boiled to death!!! the shell was melted on the shrimp and had to peel off some shrimp to get it off, nasty, chocked 2 down...3rd had to be spit out...guess I am getting a Wendy burger on the way home -at least the server realized what was going on an did give a discount for the wait for food and the inedible food delivered Not sure if I will be back...guess if friends really want to come and I can't convince them to go somewhere else. read more

Shuckin' Shack - The oysters are a good size and very tasty. - Seafood Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

We came to this restaurant last week. I wasn't impressed with it at all. If you like fishy tasting Shrimp on Nachos and a very loud atmosphere, this is your place. The nachos would have been better if they would offer chicken or ground beef as other options. They only had shrimp. Which I assumed would be great. But honestly I order Shrimp at other restaurants all the time and never had such a fishy taste. Just gross. My crab cake sandwich was ok. My husband ordered a burger, a couple of beers , and I had a tea . The bill was like near $60.00, which was very high for no more food than we got. I guess I should have sent back the nachos. Or something, but usually I don't like to complain. I just don't return.. lol.. But it was also very Loud. We were there with another couple, and couldn't hardly hear them talk, without hollering at each other across the table. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Very quiet - only a few customers. Ordered a peck of steamed oysters - they were good....but the kitchen normally does not shuck pecks! We asked if they could because I'm not too handy with an oyster knife. They did, but only because they weren't busy. We also ordered a seafood bucket - oysters, clams, shrimp and snow crab legs. The snow crab legs were very good...nice salty taste. The clams were a disappointment. They were the size of a nickel (if that big!). If I went again, I would order something without the clams since that was a waste of money. They won't substitute either. All in all, the food was good. Our server at the bar was excellent! Total check was around $95 which included 2 beers and sweet tea. read more

It was pretty empty when I visited my my mom and grandmother. The food was very good and fresh! I got the lobster roll with broccoli. On first sight I thought for the price the roll was small but they really pack it with lobster. My mom and grandmother got the po boys grandmother had oysters and shrimp and my mom had the blackened shrimp. Their food was delicious as well. Y'all know we gotta taste around the table at a new place. My only concern is the prices. Not that it isn't priced right, but Salisbury locals are cheap. Not by choice, for some since there aren't many decent paying jobs to go around but that's a different story. Most people here jump for joy over platters of food that tend to cost $10 or less. I'm hoping people will acknowledge the quality and not the quantity (truthfully we don't need those huge potions). I really hope this place does well! read more

Great Happy Hour Deals...1/2 prize appetizers before 6pm. Drink specials are also available. A great little restaurant in downtown Salisbury . Customer service was great. Food was good and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The chargrilled oysters are ok..nothing to write home about. Desserts are available, we tried the key lime pie. It was just ok. Four stars because of the variety of options on the menu and the customer service. read more

I've been seeing flyers for this spot for a few weeks now and finally got around to trying it. First off, it's already cute when you walk in. It is appropriately decorated with an "ocean" vibe. It feels as if you're at the beach eating seafood by all the decor. It is a bit on the smaller side and feel like you're on top of each other but that didn't stop me and my guests from enjoying the atmosphere. The blueberry lemonade was a great drink and the painkiller as well but a bit on the sweeter side. The crab balls were ordered as an appetizer and they were delicious! If only they were bigger but you could definitely taste the freshness of the crabmeat. Me and my sister shared the Saul T's Steampot which was a large portion that we couldn't finish all of it. I wish the oysters were a bit juicer and larger in size but were still good. The shrimp were to die for and such a great size. The crab legs were excellent. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience and it even beats some of the seafood restaurants I've been to at a beach! Will for sure be dining here again. read more

Shuckin' Shack - Amazing place they know how to cook seafood - Seafood Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

Must admit I was torn on what I wanted to rate this place. We were excited to give it a try and the food was actually pretty good overall. My hesitation really comes from the experience we had with the service. When we first walked in the place, it was unclear whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. We were finally greeted after several minutes of awkwardness by who I assume is the owner/manager (who had been busily chatting with someone at the bar the entire time). No big deal but certainly an opportunity to make things clear I think... after being seated we ordered drinks which took longer than I would think should have been required but again ok no problem. Our poor waiter seemed to be running himself ragged so I'm sure that was part of the issue and I don't want to beat him up because this is obviously his first restaurant gig. We finally ordered our food settling on a dozen raw oysters and the low country boil for two. Then the wait began... I honestly did not keep track of time but it did take quite a while to get our food and after it finally arrived we did not receive refills on our drinks until we were done with our meal. I should also note that the owner did finally put a "seat yourself" sign up after he sat down at a table with some friends (but not before two couples came in and stood around just like we did waiting to be seated). They were clearly in his view and he did nothing to greet them nor thank us for coming as we left (and he was sitting right beside us). He also could not help but notice our drinks were empty when he asked if he could take one of our chairs so he could join the group beside us but said nothing. I did not ask because I simply wanted to see what he would do. I certainly plan to go back and want to go for lunch to try the lobster roll. I am hopeful the service is a lot better and can redeem the overall experience for me. read more

I have been to this restaurant many times and we have always enjoyed the food. However, this last visit was really bad. I first must say our server was really good, but everything else was really bad. Too many people in the place, no social distancing and people entering without a mask on, despite having a sign outside stating that a mask is required. The manager blew it off stating "we can't enforce it." read more

Another great meal here on 10/3. Hands down the best seafood in the area. BIG Shrimp, clams, oysters, tuna.....so tasty. This place makes you feel like family....especially Jordan.

Ed will definitely return and recommend to everyone. read more

Read the following in your best Mickey Spillane's detective voice: It was a dark and cold night; it was Halloween 2021. We (Gorgeous wife Erika, Marine friend Jim and his wife Glenda) were getting a bite to eat for dinner here at the Shuckin' Shack. We have given this place a once over earlier and decided to come back for more. It is located down the street from a favorite 'Speak Easy' of ours and we wanted to stay close...very close to our get away cars. There is parking outside the front door on the street, which made 'close' comfortable...'if, you know what I mean.' In the diner we ordered the Ahi Tuna, the reliable fish'n chips, the clam chowder, the shrimp, the sausage and potatoes and more. We followed it up with the Key lime pie. Not to my surprise everything was good, very good...'if, you know what I mean.' I recommend this joint, and a rather strange fellow named left-hand Larry considers the TV screens to be beneficial to those looking for a game to lose their life savings on. I take that as wisdom to live by. So, stop by at Historic Salisbury and have the 'catch of the day.' read more

I live in New England and was told by my boyfriend not to expect to have good seafood in North Carolina. However after finding the place on Google and seeing the reviews I told him we should give it a try. The raw oysters were fresh and fantastic. They had a great selection of beers on tap. Their hush puppies which were homemade made me realize I had never eaten a good one in my life. They were absolutely heavenly. I had a fried oyster po boy which was more than generous. My boyfriend ordered their local grass fed burger which tasted as a burger should. I wish it were local to us because I would eat here all the time. One of the best dining experiences I've had since before the plague. read more

I really liked this place! The food was very tasty. I enjoyed the shrimp and crab balls! I liked that they had high top high chairs for kids.

Our four top enjoyed their food and will be back for sure! The seafood selection was worth the price! read more
