Service was excellent! Much better than the experience I had at the Wilmington location last year. Tried the wings for the 1st time and they were amazing! My steamed oysters were small but I guess that's out of their control. Overall. I enjoyed my meal and the service I received.

The food was good. Not great! We dined outside and a fly was in our french fries, waiters response was well your outside it happens. Had to ask for another serving. Well aware that it can happen but where is the courtesy. Very non-chalant attitude!!! Then looked up to see a 92.5 grade I wonder why. Thank God for coverage.

Great place for seafood. This was a first visit and won't be our last. Drive by this place all the time and finally stopped. Only thing that would make it better is if they got some size small t-shirts in the coral color. I wanted to buy one but they didn't have any.

We are regulars at the Durham, locations. We absolutely love this place. The raw oysters are always amazing. We love there drinks too. I read alot of post about the lobster roll being so good.... but I have to say I it tonight and it was very bland. I was very dissatisfied. This will not detour us from coming back because everything else has been amazing.

Amazing! Tastes like the coast of NC seafood in the Bull City. Jalapeno Grilled Oysters smashed!. The fried shrimp is DEVINE! Even the french fries were good. Tarter and cocktail sauces taste homemade and and a great pop to my food. A variety of hotsauces and condiments for multiple palates. Our waitress Cheryl was one of the BEST wait staff I have encountered ANYWHERE PERIOD!

First time there was phenomenal! Second time there, 6 weeks later, this waiter says,"I remember you!" Yes, he did remember us, even to the drinks! Food, service, drinks...always exceptional.

Hidden kids menu! Good wings but breaded. Wife loved the crab legs or it's been too long. ;)

Great service. Nice atmosphere and some really good seafood. I'm a seafood lover, I've had their raw oysters, calamari, fried shrimp and french fries. All of them are excellent and I'm a returning customer. They usually have some drink specials and food specials.

My family went there for dinner. The food was exceptional and the service was great. My wife is a big oyster fan and she said they were some of the best she's had.
Can't wait to go back!

How did I not know about this place?!? Monday through Thursday $1 raw oysters?! Are you kidding me? Appetizer specials, draft beer, and delicious shellfish? Friendly service, folksy atmosphere, good food? Seriously, what more can I ask for? The only thing I can complain about is that I haven't come here before. I assure you I will come here again.

First of all, being from the northeast, I'm picky about my seafood, especially lobster rolls. The lobster roll here was phenomenal. Bread was fresh, lightly toasted and buttery. And there wasnt too much of it. Tons of lobster, big chunks even, no filler, light seasoning and not overly wet and full of mayo. Sooooo good. Fries were super fresh and hot. Also had some clams on the half shell that were fresh, perfectly chilled and went great with their horseradish. This may be my new favorite restaurant in the triangle! Atmosphere is super laid back and the decor is cute. Perfect for date night.

Went on a Saturday night and it wasn't packed surprisingly...Food was amazing, the mixed drinks were great. I recommend the Painkiller! Our server was nice and attentive. Fried oysters were great, the seafood boil was great with just enough seasoning!

Good quality food, cocktails and a nice view. Supports outdoor dining. Waitress could do a better job of keeping their masks covering their noses, during COVID-19. However everyone was very welcoming. Order the fish and chips!

Service was good, food was alright. Ordered seafood tacos with blackened Mahi, came smothered in shredded cheese. Chips and salsa were pretty bland. Overall pretty mediocre. Atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was clean.

I just found my favorite place! I can't wait to bring my friends here! It's a bit expensive, but cheaper than a trip to the beach. I love seafood. Kyle was my bartender/server. He was great! I had lots of questions & he offered to answer even more questions if I had any. I'll be back! I've been looking for a place like this in Durham for almost a year.

Had a wonderful time at the Shuckin' Shack. The sever was attentive and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious! Definitely recommend trying the oysters!! The restaurant atmosphere was fun and vibrant. One downside, however, would be the size of the restaurant... It was a little small and tables felt relatively close together. But overall I would absolutely recommend Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar to anyone!!

Food was great!... however, couldn't give the five star... we got the steam pot and again it was very good... my problem was the AC was but much and it cooled our food a little too quick. Not a deal breaker and we'll prolly be back but will be on guard whether to order the pot or even the boil.

They seem to be having a challenge like so many restaurants now, having adequate help. Our waitress worked hard. But we had to shuck our own half peck of oysters. Ordered another dozen shucked and experienced a long delay. Oysters were good. Perhaps I should encourage you to go to get their revenue up that would allow higher wages to attract more help and provide a five star dining experience. They are at risk of going into a downward spiral. Tough business these days.

Good oysters and appetizers, but sandwiches need big improvements. Ordered a takeout of half dozen oysters, cold crab dip, and a po po boys sandwich with fried shrimp. Oysters were nice and fresh. Crab dips were also nicely seasoned, and the baguettes that came on the side with the dip was perfectly crispy.
However, the Po Po Boys sandwich was a huge mess. Sandwich baguette was lukewarm at best and not crispy on the outside. They also put too few veggies (lettuce & tomatoes) compared to shrimp. The thick cut fries were also soggy and not evenly seasoned.
If you're looking to get some light meal to go along with beer, I would recommend this place. However, not the best place for casual dinners.

Food and service were extremely good! The fish and chips was cooked perfectly. Flake cod, good batter, not to heavy! Plenty of fries! Crab bites were good, except for the shell pieces left in the crab mix, but the bright side, I know they aren't frozen! 🤣 Everything was really good! Will be back!

Very very good. The only downside was a good bunch of their appetizers were out but thats not their fault so I cant get mad at them. Distributors can only give so much. I will DEFINITELY return when im craving seafood!

Great food, drinks and especially service. The staff is very friendly and helpful when asking questions about menu items to ensure our gluten and dairy allergies were taken into account when making our food and beverage selections.
Will 100% return our next time in Durham, NC!

I’ve been coming here for a few years now. My first few visits were amazing. Being from the North I have high expectations when it comes to seafood and I’m glad I was not disappointed. The food was flavorful, service was great, atmosphere was nice. The place is a bit small but cozy, almost like a family environment. However, over the past two years the food quality went downhill. It was dry and bland and the service was not that great, presumably due to COVID. I stopped going last year but decided to try again a couple of weeks ago. The food was plentiful, flavorful, and honestly better than it was when I first started going. New chef? Maybe! Definitely worth a visit now. They just need more staff because the place was crowded inside and out with only one server.
