Reviews for Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar in Hickory, NC
First time at the Shuck'in Shack but will not be the last. The steamed mussels were amazing. The fried oysters were lightly... fried and tender. The raw oysters were salty as they should be and tasted amazing. The fried pickles were super crunchy. Thewait staff were attentive and the food came out really quickly! Read more
I had the blackened scallops and cold crab dip. The scallops were ok the issue was portion, the menu says sharing but how can... you share 3 scallops. Crab dip was not enjoyable. Very disappointing. Read more
I've only ever gotten the raw oysters here and I've never been disappointed. Most of the time, the lower quality oysters will... have pea crabs in them. If you don't eat raw oysters regularly, then you may find them unappealing but they are safe to eat.They also have a good mixed drink selection and a really good bloody Mary. On Sunday's, raw oysters are $1 each. Every other daythey are market price depending on the selection or $16/doz for house oysters. Read more
We stopped in for a mid afternoon meal. Waitress was by herself but managed well. There were maybe a half dozen customers at the... time. Food came out quickly. The calamari was very good, fried but not too chewy. I also had the low country boil. It was goodbut I like a Louisiana style so I would of preferred some more spice. However they have a variety of spices and sauce available.The floor in the restaurant was an issue. It was bubbled up in some places and just need to be redone. Otherwise, it was a goodexperience. I would eat here again. Read more
Seafood was very good and prepared very well. Flavors were what the description said and staff was super helpful. Also if you... want the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer just get the shrimp you have to peel yourself with a side of your dipping sauce. It?smuch cheaper and you actually get more! Waiter told us that one????????Seafood tacos are a winner too. Get blackened Mahi onyours and you won?t regret it! Read more
We were met by a warm friendly welcome and chose our table easily because they had just opened. I ordered the lobster roll and... my wife the shrimp and grits. Read more
If you?re a fan of seafood and not the typical fish camp stuff, this is the place for you. The service was great and the food... was amazing. I didn?t leave hungry! Highly recommend!! Read more
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 oystersspecials are worth it if you want to eat your fill otherwise you're looking at a variable market price. Today it was $3/ea. ifyou didn't eat the house oysters that were going for $1/ea. My two biggest issues were: 1) that since I was shucking my ownoysters it would have been better if they were cleaned better. I ordered a peck and at least half of them still had mud on themin places. A little more time rinsing them with a water hose would be nice. 2) Our waiter could have been a bit more attentiveto my girlfriend. He kept my drink filled, but she went a long while with an empty glass and was socializing with anothercoworker. Read more
