Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar

Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar was exactly the kind of laid-back seafood spot we were craving. We started with a tray of raw oysters on the half shell served ice cold with lemon, cocktail sauce, and horseradish and they were fresh, briny, and super clean. The shrimp boil platter was a hit too big, perfectly cooked shrimp with great seasoning, plus corn on the cob, slaw, and plenty of melted butter and lemon to make it messy in the best way. Bonus points for the fun seasonal drink specials the creamy holiday martini-style drink topped with whipped cream/sprinkles (and the gingerbread garnish) was basically dessert in a glass. Friendly service, relaxed “shack” vibe, and solid seafood all around. We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent. We sat at the bar and ordered food and drinks. They have an outdoor covered area also but chose to sit at the bar. They have about a dozen beers on tap and full bar for drinks. The place was steadily busy but the service was perfect. We had steamed shrimp, corn cob and a fish basket with oysters, shrimp, fish, fries and coleslaw. Lots of food. And beer.. Excellent service. The price was reasonable. Definitely go again.

Shuckin’ Shack in Wilmington is such a solid spot for fresh seafood. From the moment we walked in Kendall at the bar had us taken care of! The oysters are always cold and clean, the shrimp is seasoned perfectly, and everything tastes like it came straight off the boat. It’s also one of my favorite places to catch games on a Sunday because the vibe is fun, the TVs are everywhere, and the beer specials are actually worth it. Super easy place to relax, eat good food, and hang out. Definitely recommend.

New Years Day we drove downtown Wilmington and were hungry for oysters beer and dinner! Had our favorite oysters, southern salts from Hold Fast oyster, got a cup of amazing clam chowder my wife opted for the seafood gumbo with grit cake and we must have thought that wasn’t enough and ordered a couple wings and steamed shrimp! Everything!!!! Was excellent including our bar staff Mallory and Jill! Couldn’t ask for anything more for our first meal of the trip!

I went inside to try their signature Holiday Drinks at the bar, but their service was amazi.g. the menu looks incredible, & affordable. The atmosphere was very festive. They had a man playing live music in the corner. The place was very clean, the other customers had a friendly & welcoming vibe. I have to say this is now my favorite place to go for drinks downtown!
