    Onion rings good. Bread delicious, I ordered halibut and it was good but nothing special. Requested Fries and they were steak fries but not hot and not crispy. Saw someone else with shoestrings fries that looked better. Dessert, the apple cobbler was good. Service very good.

    My steak was underwhelming, but that’s on me I cannot say enough good things about the server Rishi He was charismatic and kind, he took time to explain details about oysters that I haven’t heard before. I had a great time and my food was amazing. The Calamari was top notch, The oysters were as advertised. Full of flavor. Amazing. If you’re looking for a great experience, I highly recommend Shuckers, you won’t be disappointed.

    Shuckers is a great place for both food and service and I always enjoy my time there. The elegance of the old wooden carvings that make up the interior are spectacular.
