Reviews for Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar in Ocala, FL
Good atmosphere and the food was good. The real problem we had was there was only one waitress taking care of the entire... restaurant the whole time we were there. She was very nice and did the best we could but a quick stop for lunch turned into a2.5 hour ordeal for some raw oysters and 2 sandwiches. The owners need to seriously reconsider their staffing situation forlunch time. Maybe dinner is better staffed but we will never know because we will probably never be back to find out. We stuckit out but 2 tables left because their food was taking so long. Read more

I've got to say .... what a disappointment.. We talked about Lobster Rolls all week and couldn't wait until we got here to... indulge. To each of us they were nearly tasteless. Maybe we are all spoiled from the great ones we've had from Maine down toBoston .. I don't know... We will come back and try other items at another time but for now... we aren't impressed....

I've driven by several times but never visited and this was my first time. Sports bar type feel with many TV's playing with... several sports playing, a garage type door in the front that opens up into a bar, very unique and great for winters here.Arrived on a Sunday and it was moderately busy and we sat at the bar and was welcomed by a friendly blonde waitress who wasgreat. Ordered Bloody Mary's and they were delicious with Old Bay seasoning on the rim, different...could use more horseradishthough. Both of us ordered the fish and chips, and the portion was a little small, especially the fries. Fish was very goodbut the fries were almost cold. Looks like they cooked the fries first, let them sit then cooked the fish, it should bereversed since the fish can hold the temperature longer. Great place and we will be back. Read more
First off. This has to be one of the nicest/cleanest places ive been lately. Absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. The... atmosphere is spectacular with the outside bar area. And the staff and management are excellent. Now to the food. OMG, theoysters are so fresh and clean. The chargrilled are an absolute must have. Such flavor and just the right temperature. I mustalso recommend the crab balls. So flavorful and light, they are seasoned perfectly. An absolute 10 from me, and i hope mytravels take me back here. Definitely a keeper. Read more
Oh boy. What a difficult place to review. The service was absolutely amazing. We sat at the bar. There with 12 other people at... the bar. Zero people in the restaurant. Our bartender served us all with speed, accuracy, and friendliness. The restaurant isliterally sparkling clean. The food however, is not so good. We had three things. Seared tuna, hangover fries, and calamari. The tuna was rubbery and served with a cup of soy, a cup of tartar, and a clump of wasbi. It may have been better if the fishwere not rubbery and the soy had some ginger, rice wine vinegar, or scallions or something. Of the three things we ordered, itwas the best. Unfortunately, the fries arrived uncooked in the middle. The fries on the bottom were more cooked through, butwere soggy from sitting in a sauce. The entire plate had no flavor. The last appetizer was the calamari. To me, it tasted likewhat a fish market would smell like on a hot summer day. I took one bite and spit it out. The people next to us looked like theyhad some amazing sandwiches. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. Like I said, the service was amazing and the restaurant wasimmaculate. Read more
