Had a great meal. Renee our server was an absolute delight. Good prices and delicious seafood. We have been here multiple times and will be back again.

This location is perfect for small get togethers. It has a bar and outside seating. I would love to host a book club meeting for our next beach/coastal themed read. Food was soooo good. Full of local durham history as well. Our waitress was super kind. Definitely will be back.

Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar in Durham sits in a shopping center where the parking is posted as one-hour, but if you’re a customer, you can stay longer without issue. That’s the first thing you notice—plenty of parking. I had no trouble finding a spot on two separate visits this week.
Inside, it’s a cozy setup with a bar, table seating, and an outdoor patio area. It has that laid-back oyster shack feel. The patio looks like it could be dog-friendly, though I didn’t confirm.
The place is clean, and the staff are genuinely friendly across the board—welcoming without being overbearing.
Food-wise, it delivers. On my first visit, I had steamed clams and steamed Gulf shrimp. Both were phenomenal. The clams were sweet and perfectly cooked, and the shrimp was just as impressive—simple, fresh, and done right.
Second visit, I went a different route and ordered a hamburger—yes, at a seafood spot. Running keto, I skipped the bun, and it turned out to be a great call. Cooked exactly to order and full of flavor, it held its own against the seafood.
Whether you’re coming in for oysters on the half shell, fresh seafood, or even a solid burger, this place covers it. Make sure to check the chalkboard specials—that’s really where the menu shines, with daily deals that are worth the visit. -
Excellent food, but always understaffed. One person in the kitchen can't keep up. 45 min waiting time. To the owner: manage the place, hire more staff at least for peak periods. Guests are leaving due to the waiting time.

We stopped in for lunch and got the Salt T's steam pot. The food was really fresh. It comes with 12 oysters, 1/2 lb gulf shrimp, 1 lb crab, 12 clams, 2 half corn cobs and slaw. The service was really good and atmosphere is great. Try the painkiller mixed drink.
