Shuckin' Shack Oyster - Hickory

My friend and I wanted to try someplace new. Loving shellfish we decided on Shuckin Shake. Upon walking in, we loved the ambience and general atmosphere. Soft music, tvs entertaining bar patrons, and laughter from a table of birthday revelers. The server was extremely welcoming and friendly. We got oysters on half shell, wild American shrimp and fish tacosl Everything tastes fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting and do plan to return asap.

Excellent experience. We got a flounder basket and a shrimp basket each with fries and a side of hush puppies. Grace did an excellent job and checked on us just enough and kept my husband’s Diet Coke refilled. He would have given them 5 stars but their special on Monday night is a select IPA but they were out of IPA and did not offer him another choice for the $3 price.

Excellent place to catch some great seafood and watch a game at the bar on a cold winter night. This was my second visit here, and I enjoyed it like last time. I went with the jalapeño Oysters and Garlic Parmesan Oysters as my main meal, and my wife got the Mahi Mahi tacos. Also, order the crab dip, you can't go wrong with it. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be back.

The steamed oysters were great reminding me of when I lived on the coast) and the Cape Fear Nachos were delicious. The Macaroni Cheese Bites were so-so, but I found them to be tasty with the ranch dip that came with it. My girlfriend found the Greppa ?, the lobster sandwich) to be okay, but she would have preferred it more if it was hot/warm. Their Sunday and Monday oysters specials are worth it if you want to eat your fill otherwise you're looking at a variable market price. Today it was $3/ea. if you didn't eat the house oysters that were going for $1/ea.My two biggest issues were: 1) that since I was shucking my own oysters it would have been better if they were cleaned better. I ordered a peck and at least half of them still had mud on them in places. A little more time rinsing them with a water hose would be nice. 2) Our waiter could have been a bit more attentive to my girlfriend. He kept my drink filled, but she went a long while with an empty glass and was socializing with another coworker.

Visiting from Los Angeles, first time here. We came in and asked LeAnn , (who was super sweet and helpful for recommendation, decided to go with a dozen of James Rivers Raw oysters $3 each very fresh and sweet! They were delivered just that morning. Ordered the Low Country Boil which was a perfect size for me and my sister. I also ordered the lobster roll , to split because well why not? An IPA for me and a Shucking Shack drink for sis to wash it down with and we were happy as clams: This place is such a jam! If I lived there, it would be my regular go to spot! Love the atmosphere. Sports Bar with an excellent fresh and quite elaborate seafood menu! Everything was cooked to perfection! And I am not easy to please! Noticed how young the chefs working the kitchen were Chris (head chef is 26 y.o and the front manager (who was not there is 21y.o. I asked LeAnn about the owner of the restaurant. His name is Brian Rogers, apparently a great boss to work for, he also owns East Coast restaurant. Wish I could try the rest of the menu! Next time! Thank you LeAnn and chefs
