Great restaurant for happy hour oysters and seafood dishes! Incredibly fresh seafood, even in the soup! The fried oysters weren't overly breaded or oily and the tartar sauce was the perfect dip. The lobster roll was great as well, however the lobster meat seemed a little small compared to other restaurants I've been to. But flavor wise it was still great! Service was good, our waiters were attentive and knew the menu well - they gave great oyster recommendations. Interior is pretty cozy, not overly tight or loud. It was decently filled during happy hour on a Sunday. Overall I definitely recommend coming to this restaurant to get your oyster fixing and have a relaxing time with friends, family, or solo read more

One of the best Happy Hours on our trip to the Island! Great quality and well priced oysters, the octopus ceviche hit the spot, and an amazing crisp lager to boot! The mignonettes and house sauces are each really good. The service was fantastic and prompt, and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. It gets loud when it's full, but you can still have a normal conversation level at your table. I would definitely come back again for the yummy oysters! read more

Really good food experience in Vic, BC. The food was fresh and service was quick. Not a whole lot of menu options but the variety of oysters offered was really sweet and fresh. Their in house sauces in bottles were interesting too. But wishing there are more hot sauce options tho. read more

A small-ish cozy restaurant with seafood. When we arrived, they had already sold out of quite a few items so we were optimistic. Unfortunately, the place didn't reach expectations. The frites were too salty, the clam chowder had two tiny bits of clam, and the crab dip barely had any crab flavour. read more

Great food! I'd been wanting to try a Connecticut style lobster roll forever and it didn't disappoint! Also tried the garlic prawns and Salish sea steamers & baguette which were also very good! Service was great! Restaurant is nice and clean inside, and of course has an ocean theme! Definitely give this place a try! read more

First time at Shucks. Super relaxed, I love Seafood. I had the Oyster P'Oboy, it' is oyster place after all. I loved it. The oysters were perfectly fried and still juicy. The sandwich is delicious. Service was great. Definitely returning. Give it a try you won't regret it. read more

Shuck Taylor's offers fresh oysters right in front you! I went during happy hour, which runs between 2-5pm and got a variety of oysters for a great deal! The oysters were briny, salty, and sometimes sweet which made it very refreshing. Along with the oysters I got a caviar bump. This was my first time having caviar but I've had similar fish roe like salmon and other fish. The caviar was buttery and creamy with an elaborate flavor. It was spectacular! Shuck Taylor's offers other seafood options but those are all I got with my partner. We ended up eating a lot of oysters. The employees were helpful in informing us about where the different oysters were from and what tastes differently. They were very welcoming and attentive from the moment we got in. If we had more time we probably would've stayed longer but we were going to go home that day! read more

Shuck Taylor's - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Go to Happy Hour, which runs from 2-5 pm on Tuesdays to Sundays. You will be able to eat delicious oysters with no consequence. I came on a gloomy Tuesday evening and the server was cool yet attentive to our needs at all times. There was a selection of four different sauces for the oysters on our table to choose from. With the Happy Hour discount, we got rounds of $2 Fanny Bay oysters and $3 Sweet Red oysters. I found the Fanny Bay oysters much better due to their briny, salty, and juicy taste! We also ordered a caviar bump to add to that. Would highly recommend it! read more

I had been wanting to try their lobster roll after seeing photos/videos on instagram - it did not disappoint. They recently increased their lobster roll (was $45 and is now $56) due to increased food costs - the quality of lobster meat is excellent (claw and knuckle) - no fillers and is not pre- cooked! It's worth the money as you are getting high quality ingredients. Fries were crispy. Ordered off of the HH menu - the deep fried oysters were delicious with the tartar sauce (you got 4 pieces for $16). The clam dip with chips ($12) were also on the HH - they refilled the miss Vickie's original chips - which was nice! We also did a caviar bump ($7), which was a first for me and my friend. I enjoyed it, but I think it's better to have if you are ordering raw oysters! Staff were chill but attentive-the overall vibe of the space and staff was cool. I can't wait to go back to try their brunch (although I'm a little sad that their Bennie's are served on an English toast-not a fan of English toast) and try their other items on their menu! I will be back for their lobster roll! read more

Oysters were very fresh. The lobster royal was a little dry. Service quick and friendly. Good vibe and great music very welcoming.

Shuck Taylor's - Fanny Bay oyster--can't get any fresher - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

While on a recent trip to Victoria, my boyfriend and I were looking for a joint with fresh oysters and a nice drink menu for Happy Hour. We stumbled across this little gem. Shuck Taylors is a delightful little restaurant where the star of the menu is undoubtedly the oysters, which are served with an array of exceptional house-made sauces that enhance their natural brininess to perfection. The mussels and clams are another highlight, cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Each bite bursts with flavor, striking a harmonious balance that showcases the kitchen's culinary skill. Don't miss the pan-fried oysters, either. They're wonderfully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a delicious contrast in texture that's hard to resist. Overall, Shuck Taylors is a haven for seafood lovers. With its fantastic oysters, flavorful mussels and clams, and delectable pan-fried oysters, this cozy restaurant promises a memorable dining experience. No wonder they had a line up by the time we were leaving! read more

Oysters, oysters, oysters omg Waited way too long to go here and it was incredible. The range of oysters delivered a taste overload. Even as a purist i have to recommend the baked oysters. The attitude of staff and the atmosphere was perfect for an oyster bar. read more

Stars of the show were the fresh shucked oysters with the freshly grated horseradish and the buffalo fried oysters. It was so good we ordered another round of both. It was on the Happy Hour menu. We went on a Sunday when they first opened. Shrimp cocktail and pickled veggies, steamer clams, and lobster roll were okay. The lobster roll would've tasted better if the bun was buttered and toasted a little more. This is a place we would definitely stop by each time we visit. read more

We decided to try Shuck Taylor's during their soft opening, and I can't recommend it highly enough. While they aren't taking reservations at the moment, the service and food truly shine. The owner came and greeted us as well, and checked if we had everything we needed, which is truly appreciated! The fresh oysters were impeccable. We tried Evening Cove Trays BC - Cortes Island and Evening Cove Beach BC - Mudge Island. The chimichurri and the other sauce sauce were the perfect condiment to the oysters. We also indulged in the lobster rolls and oyster po' boy, both of which were absolutely fantastic. We got the fresh herbs & mayo lobster rolls and they are rich/decadent and packed with tons of lobsters. I believe that they could have added some celery salt on top of the bun to give that extra kick/layer of flavour which would have been paired well with the lobster rolls. Nevertheless, the flavours were exquisite, and the portions were generous. The ambiance is a perfect blend of cozy and inviting especially with the high top table and bar seats. I appreciated the decor as well. It's unique in Victoria If you're a seafood lover, Shuck Taylor's is a must-visit. Highly recommend!!! read more

Shuck Taylor's - Freshly shucked oysters, delicious as always! - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Was really looking forward to trying this spot- walked 30 mins out of our way to check it out; place was hopping when we arrived but there were two open tables- unfortunately, the server wouldn't seat us since we were a party of two and "those are the only tables that seat parties larger than 4." Easily could have sat us and another party of two at the table, but instead made folks wait on the chance that a larger group will come in. Didn't feel wanted so we left. read more

Very cool little place! Great service and atmosphere with a great seafood selection. I prefer this place for happy hour as it's a fun place to have some drinks while sampling a great variety of oysters. read more

Casual and friendly atmosphere with a punny sense of humor (lol), oysters yummy, cold beer, service with a smile

Jess and Raj are amazing!!!! Best oysters ever. Thank you!!! The drinks were incredible the vibe is great. Highly recommend!

Go here! Anything your order will be great. Conn lobster roll was fantastic and so were the other items (drinks, oysters, dip). We got their at start of the HH which was good since their lobster roll qty was limited (check their ig). Don't just stick to their hh menu as everything else is well priced and you'll be happy with. read more

Our family went there today and had a fresh oyster selection (fanny bay, sun seeker, sand dunes, and kumamoto). They were delicious and fresh and had a variety of accompaniments to go with them. We also had the chicken sandwich which my daughter loved and then the rest of us had lobster rolls (in butter). We also got "half n half" which was a side of fries and coleslaw. Nice folks, good food and fresh. I recommend. We got there at 1130 am when they opened and within 10 minutes it was full. No reservations so get there early. read more

I love to eat and I love to support local. I'll start with the good, the friend oysters and the divine tartar sauce that comes along for dipping.....both were out of this world delish!!!! The Caesar was ok, but I would never order it again. It was completely unappetizing for me to suck up crab bits through a paper straw. The lobster roll, for $45, was a complete miss for me, I'm sorry to the people that have raved about it, but I would never order it again. It fell flat with flavour... It's a bun, lobster and melted butter to pour iver... The bun was the biggest waste for me, it was too much and absorbed all the butter and gave zero life to the lobster. Brownie points, the coleslaw was amazing. I ended up not eating the bun and just picking out the lobster with a fork. Would I go back, absolutely, I just wouldn't order the lobster roll or Caesar drink, for me they were both not worth the money. read more

A friend to me to Shuck Taylor's for my Birthday lunch. What a treat! It was amazing. We both had the lobster rolls with fries and coleslaw. I love me some fries and these were some very good fries, I would go back just for them. But, the coleslaw was outstanding. I ate every last bite. That is not really like me at all so that must have been good. Now the real start on the plate was the incredible and mighty edible lobster roll. It was over stuffed with prime chunks of lobster. It looked like I had ordered a whole lobster stuffed into a bun. What was not to like? The bun was fresh soft and a bit chewy and the lobster was fresh, flavourful and abundant, everything you need in a lobster roll. I will go back and try it will the hot butter next time. read more

Great atmosphere and service. I have asked the owner why they served rancid oil instead of clarified butter with the fantastic lobster roll, but have not received a reply. I want this restaurant to survive as the other dishes looked so good. We asked the chef twice to check the pale oil that was served but he repeated it was butter. Not sure what happened. read more

$45 for a *powerfully* mid lobster roll. Good caesar, good oysters, and their house hot sauce was great. Service was a mixed bag--some staff were friendly and helpful, but one was maybe having a really bad day or something? Novel little spot, but I can think of better ways to spend $45 than on a lobster roll that left me hungry. read more
