The service was good. Thanks Jennifer. The food was substandard in that their "signature" appetizer consisted of several slices of garlic bread, 5 ounces of cream cheese and about a half a cup of crab on a bed of lettuce. Cost $9.99. The mahi tacos had a decent amount of fish but were served cold. Considering that it took the kitchen a fair amount of time to produce these two dishes I would have hoped that the food would be served hot. I did enjoy the oyster slider- $5 I will not return anytime soon. read more

Seafood Bloody Mary (or whatever the correct name is)was amazing. It is spicy and hot and offers a shrimp flavor on your pallet. We each ordered the pick three. Shrimp and crab. The crab was a little over cooked as the meat stuck to the shell a little but still presented a nice flavor. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was delicious. This restaurant offers live music in a small restaurant but the music was not too loud. Staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed that it is not a chain restaurant in a local small community. Quite the gem! 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

Food was fabulous...Nothing but great service from Erica on Saturday and Bethany on Sunday evening........Much success to this unique establishment.... read more

Shuckin' Shack - AWESOME DINNER with friends. Bethany was very attentive..This is a must visit when in downtown Salisbury....... - Seafood Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

Shrimp and Grits. Best ever! Nuff said. Yelp wanted more words so . . . It's all good; shrimp, crab, fish. Had a Mojito it was good too.

We just walked in and glad to see they were open and taking patrons. We got a table at the front. Restaurant was packed! Always a good thing in Salisbury. Took a bit to order our food. The clams had sand all over them and in them. The hangover fries were meh. Definitely didn't taste homemade. Half way through our meal a large party came in and were more or less yelling at the server that they had reserved a different table then the one they got. She kept apologizing and saying if she has made the reservation she would have made sure they got the correct table. It just seemed very disorganized over all. I don't know if this is standard or just with the pandemic. Would maybe try again next time were in town. read more

So let me preface this by saying I grew up spending Summers in Bourne MA so I ate alot of Seafood. I had the Jones so I got the seafood chowda which was exc3. I also hot the tripĺe app & LOBSTER ROLL which was just ok. But will go back 4 the chowda. Ordered chk wings 4 kids they complained there as too much ol read more

Great food, Waitress was awesome however the kitchen time could have been a little better. Took too long to get the food to my table considering they were not very busy at all. Other than that it was was good. read more

Shuckin' Shack - Seafood Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

I adore this place! I wish I lived closer. Monday night all you can eat oysters is my all time favorite! Is totally worth it!! Great atmosphere, decent beer selection, and friendly staff. read more

Jordan is the bomb!!!- excellent experience - excellent service - excellent seafood - Nice to get a fresh selection of seafood at a reasonable price. See you again soon! read more

I can't say enough about this place. Awesome food and Jennifer our waitress was phenomenal. We've been 3 times now and get oysters each time but one time with shrimp one time just oysters and one time shrimp, oysters and clams. All of it beyond good!!!! It is our go to place. read more

Don't like shellfish at all. I would love to see a more diverse menu with some great fresh fish dishes. Place has a lot of potential but I don't have a reason to go. Sorry guys keep you chins up read more

This was our first visit and found it to offer a very appealing atmosphere. The service was also good. My reason for the low rating is due to the low proportion of seafood provided. I had read in other reviews that the portions are huge. We both ordered the combination basket (fish & shrimp). It had only 6 small shrimp and one very small cod filet. The rest was fries. The plate was full, but it was 75% French fries. The taste was good, but with 2 beers it felt like we had a received a large order of fries and a miniature appetizer for $35+. Because the place did have a nice appeal inside, we will give it another chance, but hope that they balance the portion sizes so that we don't end up with mostly a plate of fries. read more

I recently patronized the Shack for the second time. I again was somewhat disappointed in how they built their menu. Even more so with the fact that if you order certain types of oysters, they are only served raw, others can be steamed, grilled, etc. If you order more than a dozen, they refuse to shuck for you. Our bartender claimed it was NC law.... hmmm, really? When I mentioned that we traditionally went to Mooresville for oysters but wanted to patronize a local business, she was quick to tell us that the owner was very well off and it wouldn't make any difference to him. Unfortunately, the combination of my two experiences, hefty prices and a thankless owner/staff has convinced me to, once again, venture outside Rowan County to spend my money when I want real seafood. read more

Have been here 3-4 times and it's has been pretty good but tonite they lost our order and when our food came out the crab legs were rubber, the oysters were ok and the shrimp was over cooked and rubber. The severs was good but the food was not very good tonite. read more

Everything on the menu is made fresh, great lunch specials, and generous portions. The service is always really good. I recommend the crab balls, poboy sandwiches, and lobster special on Friday nights. read more

I had high hopes for this new restaurant in Salisbury. It is a franchisee of the Carolina Beach, NC based Shuckin' Shack. I have eaten at the one at Carolina Beach and the one in Surf City, NC. I understand there are several other franchises of this brand in Cary and in Wilmington to name two. While the two franchises I tried in Carolina Beach and Surf City were both very good, this one is not. As another reviewer said, the seafood in Salisbury is frozen. This did not seem to be the case at the Carolina Beach and Surf City franchisees. Maybe that is simply due to the fact those two are at the beach and they are able to use fresh seafood. That may not be an option in Salisbury since it is more than 4 hours from the beach. As for the food itself, the Po' Boy I ordered was just ok. The bread was hard and stale tasting. The oysters my friend got were rubbery and extremely chewy. There is not much more I can say about the food other than it was unacceptable for the prices we paid. Expect a tab of somewhere in the $35.00 range for an entrée and a couple of alcoholic beverages. For the $70.00 plus tip we paid, I did not feel that the meal and drinks were worth it. On the plus side, they do have several taps and a good number of canned or bottled beer. The only problem is that I like my beer on tap. The beer selection they had on tap was not to my liking. Therefore, I was forced to drink bottled beer. As for mixed drinks, they do have a nice selection. The mixed drinks all looked nice and I was told they were "pretty good" by my dining companions. The service was quite slow from the bar. The bartender seemed to be more interested in making sure his buddies were having a good time than making sure everyone got their drink orders in a timely fashion. The waitresses were very apologetic for him. They were the only bright spot though. The owners were there also. Usually this is a plus. But, not in this case. The guy was very outspoken and loud. I have to second what one other reviewer said about him - he seemed to enjoy loudly letting everyone know he did not think very much of the residents of Salisbury. I don't know where he is from but I do know this was not a very good business tactic. He successfully talked me into never patronizing this establishment again. Save yourself from this restaurant. Go to Castaways Seafood instead or even the Blue Bay. read more

Would never give this place business again . All the food is frozen and there is nothing fresh about the shrimp or oysters. Oysters are very small with no taste what so ever. Go to a real oyster bar not a fast food chain for good fresh seafood. Poorly run and can tell owners know nothing about customer service or the food industry read more

I ate here with 2 friends on Wednesday night 1/18/17. Two of us had the 1/2 lb boiled shrimp with Old Bay seasoning and slaw. The shrimp was under seasoned but it was the freshest shrimp I've ever had. We both sprinkled on extra Old Bay seasoning. The slaw was the "white" kind so it was mayonnaise based and it was a perfect complement to the shrimp. The cocktail sauce had just the right kick of horseradish. My other friend had the shrimp & oyster Po Boy sandwich with fries. She shared the fries with us & they were crispy & flavorful. The place was busy with a great ambiance. I will definitely be back! read more

Went here with a date, it hadn't been open for long (maybe a month). When we walked in it wasn't clear if there was a hostess or if its seat yourself and no one acknowledged us so we proceeded to sit at the bar. We ordered the low country boil for 2, oysters, and calamari. This has to be the only place I've ever been that serves their calamari with sweet and spicy sauce (almost like a sweet chili) instead of marinara. We also each ordered beers (I a Blue Moon), the bartender brought my date his, but said they were changing the keg. I proceeded to watch a glass of beer sit on the bar for at least 5-7 minutes, then she brought it over to me and said she'd bring more when the keg was changed. As for the food it took a while for the boil and when it came out the food wasn't even warm, mostly room temperature. Overall I wasn't impressed and I probably won't return. read more

Great staff and wonderful oysters, if you want to watch a game there's no place better in Salisbury. This is also a STEELERS NATION BAR! I also love their Key Lime Pies and Rum Cakes. read more

Great environment, they had live music and it was awesome. Our waitress was great and the shrimp and oysters were phenomenal! Will definitely go back. read more

There was not enough help, not much seating and not very family friendly. The food was ok, but definitely not worth the money. They got both of our shrimp orders wrong, the waitress was absolute awesome but run ragged. Would not go back. read more

Awesome experience. Laura was amazing! She helped us celebrate a very special day with our daughter from miles away! Highly recommend!

First time here and an evening out with just the wife, Service left a little bit to be desired Steamed Oysters were great, Low country boil not so great, taste like frozen shrimp, had ok sausage two half cooked ears of corn and a potato that had a little good spot on it, disappointing never the less, a very confused wait staff at our and surrounding tables maybe because of the mixed up computer they kept talking about, but an offer of a refill or another beer would have been nice. read more

Had a great meal at the Shuckin Shack on Sunday near opening time. Staff were friendly and food came out very quickly, Grilled Mahi Salad and fried Oyster and Fish Basket were both winners. Will be back, great addition to downtown Salisbury. read more

Here you get what you pay for. Fun place to eat and the sea food is great! Not your typical frozen then deep fried kind of place. Everything was fresh with good friendly service. I will be a regular, for sure. read more

Very cool atmosphere and good service. Food was good, but they got 3 stars because the chips served with my mahi fish tacos were incredibly stale. Also, my tacos didn't have any sauce on them and were very dry. Everything else I tried was good. I would recommend doing oysters or the low country boil here. read more

Everything was Great will be back soon. Hubby got the fried white fish and he is picky over fish and he was really impressed. read more

Beware the shell food. Shell food alert. Allergens. Would you really want to bring your kids here? I just don't see it. Who would chargrill an oyster? read more

Ordered the shrimp and it was heavily breaded. Not what I would expect from a seafood restaurant and the portion was very skimpy. Showmars actually has much better shrimp with generous a portion. My bill was also not it line with the poor quality of the shrimp, average service and high prices for a lunch menu. Cost with tip was pushing $20 with a side and I left hungry. Might give them one more try, but I may wait to hear more feedback from friends. read more

Finally tried this after hearing so many good things from my coworker. My husband and I shared the lobster roll and a fish and fried shrimp combo platter. We are hard pressed to say what we liked best. The lobster roll was FANTASTIC. Lots of lobster and nicely seasoned. The shrimp were fantastic as well...super crisp with an awesome batter coating and the shrimp themselves were so good. The fish was also super crisp and tasty. Also loved their tartar sauce. Our server Morgan was absolutely the best! She knew the menu well. Offered lots of suggestions and was super attentive. It was my birthday so she offered complimentary cake but we were both so full she gave it to us to take home. We will definitely will be back. The best seafood we've had not on the coast but in downtown Salisbury!!! read more

Ate lunch for the first time here today. Was told they have a really good oyster po boy so I thought I would give it a try. After looking over the menu I see the po boy is $14.99. Wow!!! Needless to say not wanting to drop twenty bucks for lunch I got the lunch special which was fish tacos for $8.99. Little if hardly any Mahi in these tacos. Couldn't taste the fish, just the toppings. I received two tacos and some cold chips and a small portion of salsa. Sad to say but when I left I went right next door to Haps and got a hotdog. read more

I thought fresh seafood in Salisbury was a dream or joke until I came here. Tastes like they just caught it out of the ocean. Great beer menu. I HIGHLY recommend Monday night. All you can eat steamed oysters for 20 bucks, can't beat it. Limited seating though so get there early read more

Blackened fish tacos were bland, no sour cream either. They need to be kicked up a few notches to be good. Some fresh pico, sour cream and spicy! Blackened means spicy not bland. Chips were stale and serving sizes were way too small for the price. Might try this place again but my excitement for this new place fell flat with my first meal. Hope they tweak the recipes... read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and really enjoy dropping in here -- friendly owners and knowledgeable staff; delicious fish and shrimp (haven't tried the oysters yet). Service has been terrific on my recent visits. read more

We love this place! We went on a Friday and it was Lobster for $15! It was very good! It came with corn and potatoes.

Stopped in for lunch one day with a co-worker and we each had a dozen oysters on the half shell and split a pound of old bay peel and eat shrimp. The oysters were great and so were the shrimp. I tried to duplicate the old bay seasoning at home, but couldn't come close to the ones at the Shack. Great atmosphere, food, and service. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Excellent food and service. Just a nice place to go have a casual dinner and not get raped over the price. Good variety on the menu food for all. read more

We eat here a lot since they've opened. The staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming. Their bottle beer is the coldest around and their mixed drinks are the best! Try the low country boil or the shrimp tacos. The oysters, any way you order them, are always great. The Shucking Shack is a great addition to Salisbury's resturant scene! read more
