When you approach Oyster Shuckers the neighborhood looks like post apocalyptic America. Every house and business in a 300 yard radius is boarded up or destroyed from last Year's hurricanes. But standing proud about 100 yards from shore is a solid concrete pedestal with Oyster Shuckers perched on top a good 8-10 feet above the waterline. 2 handicap parking spaces at the bottom of a gently sloping ramp lead you to the door. Inside the first impression is dive sports bar. The concrete floor has chipped paint and the 15-20 tables are battered and scarred. 10 large screen TV's adorn the walls and 9 large ceiling fans circulate the cool air around 2 long bars that go the entire length of the building. My wing man Gary and I were told to sit anywhere and since the dining room was completely empty at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon we chose a corner booth so Gary could park his walker nearby. Our Waitress Rita followed us to our chosen seats with menus and explained the happy hour specials: Surprisingly inexpensive beer, wine, and flat bread. Every seat at the bar was taken up by locals watching a game, but We weren't there for drinking. We wanted seafood! Started off with 1/2 dozen raw oysters: 3 East Coast, and 3 West Coast. Then added another 1/2 dozen of the larger West Coast Oysters ($25). Rita responded to my request of extra lemons and horseradish with a large portion of both. No skimping there! She also brought out 3 different hot sauces, crackers, and a large supply of extra napkins ( We used em all). Next we tried the Calamari ($15). Lightly breaded and fried just right. No rubberiness. Impressed by the Calamari I also ordered the Octopus Appetizer ($19). One huge tentacle with a subtle sauce, also perfectly grilled and very tasty. Gary ordered the Fried Shrimp Dinner ($18). The shrimp were abundant and nicely done. Hand cut French fried potatoes with the skin on were a nice touch. I opted for the Blackened Shrimp Dinner ($23). 8 large shrimp on 2 skewers seasoned perfectly. No additional sauce or lemon needed. Plus Roasted asparagus spears and French fries. I topped off my meal with an Oyster Shooter ($8). An excellent meal for a $115 + $25 tip for Rita's excellent service (yes, We were her only customers in the dining room but she was diligent). It was worth every penny. I rate the decor and atmosphere 3 stars, the service and food 5 stars. So Oyster Shuckers gets 4 stars. If the decor and atmosphere don't matter to you, this is a great place to eat. The food was top notch. Discount on the bill if you pay cash. Upside App users get 6% cash back

Fried shrimp, red skin mashed potatoes and coleslaw (vinegar base).

Oyster Shucker Craft & Draft did not disappoint as always. We managed to stop in twice during our stay this week because we needed another fix of their amazing food. On top of the great food, Rachel is a boss. She's handling the bar and serving. We come in once a year and she remembers our order which is extremely impressive. We just wish we lived closer or we would come more often. Jim, bring back the beer cheese!

The best fried shrimp I have had in Florida. The shrimp is fresh and cooked perfectly. Their breading is phenomenal.

Some of the best fried shrimp I have had. Whatever they put in their breading is so good. Unmatched

Service: Got seated right away but then sat there for 20 before anyone came back. Right now not seeming great. 30 minutes no water or waitress. Leaving Food: ? Ambiance: Looks like a hole in the wall place which is typically my favorite buuutttt. It is off season I'll try again some other time!

Almost didn't check this place out bc it had less stars then the other restaurants around it and it was empty however the fact that it was empty made me want to go in since I knew it be chill, lol I was so glad we checked it out! Great selection of beers, only only in cans but on tap! The calamari looked different then what I had tried before, but was very fresh and delicious, I liked that it was more breaded then fried. We had the Spinach w mahi salad which was as crisp and delicious and the pesto, ricotta, shrimp flat bread which was so good!!!! Our server was so nice, and attentive! Would definitely be back.

got here just after they opened, had the patio to myself service was attentive, but not intrusive, once again the barbecued oysters were amazing as were the grouper tacos.

Bar, great to watch sports.

It's our first time here in a month since our two hurricanes hit our area at St Pete beach. We were delighted to see the Oyster shucker restaurant made it and is open. My husband ordered a blackened chicken breast burger with homemade potato salad and I ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries. I'm not usually fond of potato salad, but HELLO! Mama in the kitchen killed it with her homemade potato salad. My husband's chicken salad was so juicy and delicious, wow. Margarita, meh. My Cuban was delicious and hand cut fries were nice and crispy. The staff is very friendly. PLEASE come support them.

Great food. Nice views. Friendly staff. Had a great birthday dinner here. No clue why it wasn't as busy as the place next door.

Oysters were opened but not correctly unattached from shell. Very difficult to eat. Wouldn't say it's much of an atmosphere

We were visiting a friend and staying nearby so stopped in for lunch one day. I am oh-so glad we…read moredid! It's cute and has a great fun skate vibe. It's located in a strip mall, and for some reason I was surprised to find it as cute and yummy as I did (I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover). Our waitress was great about helping me make sure I didn't get anything that I can't eat. I completely forgot what my seatmates order, but I ordered a burger and it was really good. It's served on sourdough toast, which is definitely one of my fave ways to get a burger!! The fries were good, too (I *really* wanted to eat more than I did, I just didn't have the room). Everyone enjoyed their dish. We were there for a late lunch, it wasn't noisy so we were able to have a good conversation (noisy places have always turned me off, I'm there with friends and want to talk for heaven's sake). If you're scrolling through reviews trying to decide where to go. STOP NOW. Look no further, this is where you need to be. I promise! :) Thank you for reading my review. (ps, I don't take pictures of food, I leave that to the pros)

Hands down, our favorite place! The beer is ice cold and…read moredelicious. The food is amazing! Don't sleep on the specials! The dessert is our favorite place...but really it feels like home, because of the fantastic people!
