Some of the best seafood I have ever had! I came here with a party of 4 on a Tuesday night during the fall and got sat right away, but I imagine this place is very busy in the summer. This place is a great value for all the seafood you are getting. My party of 4 split two shrimp dinners and we were all stuffed at the end, struggling to finish it all. They give you some shrimp to try when you get there which is a nice touch. It helped us figure out what we wanted. We needed up getting 1 shrimp dinners with the shrimp fried, and 1 shrimp dinner with the shrimp broiled. The fried ones were eh, not bad but nothing special. However, the broiled with butter ones were spectacular. If you don't like a TON of butter, you can ask for it on the side. We didn't know about this hack until after and I wish we had done it. Whatever you get here, you have to try the hush puppies!! The best hush puppies I've ever had. They also give you a soap bath for your hands after which is a very nice touch, as your hands get really dirty from all the butter. read more

Food was good. Service....not so much. Ordered gin Martini; came in a short glass on the rocks. Ordered ice tea; had to ask another wait person to get it for me after ten minutes. Ordered raw oyster appetizer. Dinner came two minutes later. Had to send the dinner back to the kitchen. I wanted to rate it 2 stars but my wife said no. read more

We went to check this place out based on the Yelp reviews. We had just finished with our very underwhelming tour of Jekyll island, and when we arrived the restaurant was closed for their day shift (closes between 3-4pm) so we waited an hour outside until they reopened. We were the first ones there and received a very warm welcome from the staff (i believe one of the managers). He was very friendly and thanked us for waiting. Service was decent, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't the greatest either. We felt that our server was a little too casual despite the setting we were in - it is understandable that we're not in fine dining, but we're also not in a fast food restaurant. It's kind of a weird in between place. The service we received from the managers were excellent. They stopped by our table every so often and asked how we were doing , and if everything tasted great. It is a cute restaurant and it gets filled up very quickly. The inside dining is very nice and neatly decorated. There was also outside seating. As I mentioned , we were one of the first people to arrive when they restaurant open for the second half of their day and it quickly filled up after that. Oysters were ordered with, I believe "shuck sauce", which was a combo of butter garlic/lemon pepper and cajun seasonings. The sauce was amazing, but it kind of overshadowed the point of ordering oysters. I think I prefer to keep it simple from now on. Their butter garlic sauce is amazing. I ordered 5 blue crabs with it and it was actually a lot to try to eat at 1 sitting, so I ended up taking them home. I ordered a side of Hush Puppies and the Hush Puppies were as the reviews said - delicious! obviously seafood is expensive. Eating out is expensive. I do feel that the price was fair as an occasional dining experience. At the end, we were given a bowl with warm soapy water to wash our hands with and a slice of lemon to get the seafood stench out Overall pleasant experience read more

A new addition to the island! Hurray! I have been to the Brunswick location and was do happy to see them on the island. A nicely decorated space with both indoor and outdoor seating. Don't miss the fish tank and the great pictures on the walls. I had the famous garlic shrimp , potatoes, hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. All was delicious and cooked just right. My waitress was super sweet and took excellent care of me. I will visit this restaurant every time I go to the island! read more

Mr Shucks Seafood - fresh oyster - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons Island, Georgia

I wanted to dine here when we first checked in our Airbnb ,however they are closed on Sundays. I am glad we had an opportunity to dine in for lunch the next day. Their menu has a lot to offer. From salads, appetizers, sandwiches, entrees and more. If you are new the restaurant, they give you samples of their signature garlic butter shrimp. I'm glad they did because it was so good that I ordered it for lunch. They even have great drink menu. Pricing is very reasonable. We ordered: -Dozen raw oysters -Shrimp basket (garlic sauce) w/ battered potatoes -Fish and Shrimp w/ side of coleslaw -2 crab cakes Drinks: -Creature Comforts Tropicalia IPA -Reserve des Marandes Pinot Noir We didn't have to wait long for the food. Omg! The shrimp and crab cakes were amazing! The oysters, were shucked to perfection and fresh. The potatoes were awesome. The batter complimented so well with it! We all had a huge smile on our face including my mom. She loved the crab cakes so much that she ordered an extra to go. I loved the garlic butter so much, I ordered a bottle to take home. Veronica our server was very down to earth and helpful. We loved the food so much that we wanted to meet the owners, Ms Natalie (the wife) came out and talk to us a bit. Very down to earth. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was our favorite out of all the places we went. Service and food were amazing! Southern seafood at its best with great flavor! read more

This spot was by far the best one my lady and I tried on this trip. The service was top-notch, the food was beyond excellent, and the atmosphere was definitely laid back. We wanted to dine here on Sunday night but they were closed so we went Monday for lunch. Veronica, our server, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She brought us samples of their signature garlic butter shrimp to start, and we liked it so much that we ordered more. Here's everything we got: -Dozen raw oysters -Shrimp basket (garlic sauce) w/ battered potatoes -Fish and Shrimp w/ side of coleslaw -2 Crab cakes -Creature Comforts Tropicalia IPA -Reserve des Marandes Pinot Noir Even my lady's mom enjoyed everything, especially the crab cakes, so much that she ordered more to go. The oysters were perfectly shucked. We enjoyed the garlic butter sauce on the shrimp so much that we bought a bottle of it too (ask about the sizes for sale if you like it too). We also met Ms. Natalie, one of the owners, and we told her how much we enjoyed everything. We'll absolutely be going back on our next trip to the area. read more

What wonderful dining experience tonight with excellent service. The phenomenal young man (IYKYK) was so attentive and attention to details. Worth the drive for the service alone. The flavor is brilliant and ingredients fresh! The ambiance is phenomenal with whole Shuck family. Love this place. read more

So yummy! Visiting from the west coast and the shrimp in their garlic butter was to die for. Such a delicious seafood boil, so full of fresh seafood and flavor. Super friendly service as well. Would be our 1st stop if we ever travel this way again. read more

The actual food was delicious, but getting it was a pain. Their website only points to the Brusnwick location, leaving us confused whether the St. Simons location was even operational, and once we'd double-checked it was and called in our order, we were incorrectly told when arriving to pick up the food that we'd called and ordered the Brunswick location instead, before they found our order where it was supposed to be. As said before, however, the food was great. I had blackened shrimp with a side of fried green tomatoes, and another member of my group had the catfish basket with fried okra. All the fried items were crispy without being too greasy and the seasoning on the shrimp was perfect. Just wish it would have been less complicated to get. read more

Don't miss the amazing crab sampler FEAST! Snow crab, blue crabs, and Georgia shrimp, plus sausage, potatoes and corn, bathed in garlic butter. This was our favorite meal anywhere in St Simons. read more

Went today 12/8/25 to have lunch on my wife's birthday! She had the Whiting & Shrimp lunch combo w/potatoes in spicy butter which she said was excellent! I had the garlic oysters with cole claw & fries. The oysters were cooked perfectly and served on top of a garlic butter sauce with the 2 sides in separate dishes. The folks are always friendly and provide very good service. As an FYI, they are in the process of enclosing the front patio which will be a great addition to this cool spot in the Pier Village area off of Ocean Blvd. As I said before in my prior review, you need to find time to check this place out. You will be happy you did! read more

Mr Shucks Seafood - Garlic Oysters (front) & Whiting w/Shrimp in back - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons Island, Georgia

Food, professional service, very clean atmosphere. Recommend everyone go if you love seafood.

Dined here tonight for the first time, really wanted to enjoy some good seafood on vacation. They were very busy , which was to be expected for a holiday weekend. Got sat around 6:50 possibly 7pm, ordered then proceeded to wait for over an hour for food. The entire time we waited we were never talked to again by our server, no check in, no drink refills, even just a heads up that the kitchen was backed up would've been greatly appreciated but didn't happen. After waiting about 45 minutes for food with nothing and our server CC never once approached our table I flagged down another server, a blonde guy, tried to order an appetizer because our kids were hungry, but was told I couldn't because the kitchen was too busy and was talked down to like I don't understand a busy restaurant. I've been a chef for over 25 years I know what busy is. The restaurant was half empty while we waited but then a 17 top got sat and within 25 minutes had food. Didn't get and at wipes or anything at the end of the meal to clean up with and the server sighed at me when I asked for paper towels to wipe our hands. Food was very overpriced for the portion sizes. A $100 seafood platter shouldn't come on a tray the size of a regular dinner plate and brag that it serves 2-3 adults when it wasnt enough for two adults and two kids one of which can't even eat shrimp. It was an all around bad experience, and a huge waste of time and money. Very disappointed that we paid $150 and all left hungry and let down. read more

We have eaten here several times and have had 2 large family dinners here and every time is fantastic. We had 11 people on Dec 23rd and it was delicious. The service was great and the seafood is fresh and great. Their fish (red and catfish) were both cooked perfectly. The crab and shrimp were awesome as well. Their potato skins are serious winners and we all left happy and not grossly full. We LOVE this place and it is a staple for our large family gatherings and even when we have just our family of 4 read more

Mr Shucks is beyond delicious! The food is fresh and the flavor is unique. Something for everyone. Our friend has shellfish allergies (cross contamination not an issue), thus he chose chicken wings in several flavors - each one delish! What a great option! read more
