I don't understand the bad reviews! We rolled in with 4 adults and two kids under 3 near closing time on a Saturday and had a delightful, fresh, well-priced meal served by a great, accommodating, friendly team. Would definitely go back, especially with kids so as not to disturb the fine dining establishments nearby. Ambiance is casual. read more

This place has the win for the view. And the service was good. We had reservations for 6pm and were seated on "the barge". By far the best seating in the place. The food was expensive and the drinks disappointing. The Bloody Mary was small and not spicy .. although it should have been given it was marketed as such. The olive was just an olive sitting on a toothpick. The sangria "special house blend" tasted like fruit juice and the garnishment left me puzzled. The fish and chips were $26 (I substituted veggies for the fries, no up charge).. I had expected to not be able to finish it. It was small. Well prepared but small. The lobster Mac n cheese was $29... and just ok. The little necks were $2.50 each and not even shucked off the shell- he had to pull it off with a knife. Service was excellent so no complaints there. But outside of the view we don't see much reason to come back. read more

Went here as we knew someone working. They really do have a nice view! The food was good overall. The lobster roll had a lot of lobster and not too much mayo! They had a large kids menu, which included pasta. The chowder was tasty and thick. The service was excellent and good came quickly. read more

The price on the lobster roll on yelp was 21.95 and was incorrect. I told the waitress the situation. They offered a quarter pound lobster roll which we had and was very fresh tasting but at a higher price. Chowder was very good Service was very good read more

We had been to Shuckers years ago and it was great to return. We even had 2 meals here, a lunch one day and a dinner on our last night in Woods Hole. For our lunch we had some steamers , sharing a big bowl and some garlic toast. For our dinner night, my husband had the mussels and I had the lobster roll with a half pound of meat, all ready out of the shell as I find picking the meat myself difficult these days. My husband had a local beer from Martha's Vineyard and I had the Garden Spritz with a unique herbal touch. The service was great and the seating right on the water. One area is actually a floating barge in Eel Pond, the heart of Woods Hole. There is a cool raw bar too. Every single item was as fresh as you can get. Know that they do not serve dessert but if you have room, there is a nearby restaurant with fantastic options. read more

Let's start by saying it's under new ownership..and the place is AWESOME. The atmosphere along with the food is incredible and the staff was so pleasant and professional. A must place to check out. Promise!!! Dave Pina read more

So much to say - but I'll keep it short. our waitress was lovely. Our table was horrible, seriously. If the many poor reviews haven't convinced you to not eat here (we didn't look ahead), do NOT let them seat you on their floating dock. Drinks were bad, appetizers were ok - but I wasn't brave enough to try the mystery sauce. Our mains were marginally edible. Dont eat here, it was gross... read more

Had a nice lunch here sitting under an awning outside by the water. Very pleasant with a lovely view and nice breeze. We had the calamari (banana peppers are in there too) and the tuna poke. Both were fresh and tasty. Nice place to stop while walking around Woods Hole. read more

the food was great i went for the 2for1 lobsters and they tasted amazing. My server katie was amazing and very polite.

Shuckers is a wonderful place for great seafood in a perfect location down a cobblestone alley to the waterfront. You are right on the harbor with the boats. Tuesday twin lobster specials are a great deal. I can't imagine why some people would complain about the floating dock seating. How fantastic to be right on the water! Friendly service, New England seafood. We are here all summer and go every chance we get. Love everything about it. read more

Ok I took my wife for our wedding anniversary to shuckers and the appetizers were really good so I order a watermelon margarita and I don't know why tasted like cucumber and water anyways after that I order one of the "PINEAPPLE MARGARITA " was supposed to be the best in town I don't know but tasted just like cucumber margarita but worse. So whoever was at the bar please get somebody else ASAP and my wife got a not alcoholic drink and she told me that didn't tasted good so that was my first and last time at shuckers. The ambiance was really good and the food was excellent but the bartender just spoiled everything get somebody else read more

Great service and food was very good! Had been there before under a different owner and didn't know what to expect but we are happy to add Shuckers to our list of local favorites. read more

Great tasting food , everything looks good coming out of kitchen. Today I tried the clam chowder and fish sandwich. I wish I had some pepper for the chowder but I have to say this was one of the better chowder's I have tasted. Would come again. read more

Spring into summer and autumn is the time to visit this area. So you can enjoy the outside dock seating, with boats and ducks on the water. The staff is like family, all happy smiling people even in the heat. Say yes to the lobster roll and try the variety of oysters, to find your favorite. A MUST is a hot lobster roll with butter on the locally baked light and fluffy rolls. Perfectly portioned and definitely the star of the show. Lemonade was my choice of drink and recommended, but they do have a full bar and some good beers. Maybe do a bike ride through New England to work up the appetite for all that is good. Enjoy! read more

Although all the food looked delicious, I got the poke bowl. It was one of the best ones I've ever had! Lots of tuna and the seaweed salad was tasty. We sat right on the water and had beautiful views from our table. Our server was adorable and attentive. The only reason I give it 4 stars was because my husband left his credit card and when he went back to get it, they said they didn't have it. 10 seconds after cancelling the card, they tapped on his shoulder and handed it back to them... read more

Post-covid era visit - outdoor seating, with staff wearing face masks. Touchless menu was a nice touch -- you can pull it up online using your phone camera. Tables were decently spaced out. The calamari was nice, but we missed the fact that it had fried pickles/peppers in there, so that was an unexpected surprise. The clam chowder was nice, although not the best I've ever had. The hot lobster roll is basically lobster with butter on a toasted bun, and it was delicious. The French fries that came with it, were also well done with a slight crisp to them. I would visit this restaurant again, and try the oysters on our next trip to the Cape. read more

We've gone to Shuckers for years (previous owner). The view is great and the service was spot on, our waitress was extraordinary. Drinks are great. Last night our dinner was fairly dissapointing though :( Appetizers: -Quahog was clearly not made from clams, strange. Dinner: -Baked scrod was obviously frozen and was flavorless with an odd liquid. Potatoes were freezing. Three sad asparagus stalks. -Lobster Mac n Cheese had tasty lobster but absolutely no cheese, confusing. -Flatbread was just okay, overloaded with cheese. Come here for drinks and the view but skip dinner. read more

What a nugget !!! Looking to eat dinner by the water, we went to Shuckers. They were on the Woods Hole Harbor, took reservations, and we were able to get a 5p table ( Wed night ). Our waitstaff ( Sara) was lovely! And she comped our stuffed quahog as it was so "baked" that we couldn't get it out of the shell). Our dinners were baked lobster with mussels/steamers/corn, and the baked haddock stuffed with lobster, substituted a sm Caesar salad, and everything was scrumptious!!!!! Music playing was fabulous, we sat on the deck, looking out over the boats- gorgeous!!! All right in downtown Woods Hole Will definitely return here! Even the Cabernet was delicious ! Thanks for taking such great care of us, Sara!!!! read more

excellent seafood nice clean steamers and cocktails are delicious Loved sitting on water and able to bring my dog Frankievinvto enjoy the ambience read more

Aw, shucks. Shuckers, famously highlighted on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" has closed for the season. In season (they open around Memorial Day), they have a pleasant view of the marina&Eel Pond. In the off season, everything is packed away. It's the perfect place to be on a humid summer day, with a cool strawberry cocktail. Their fish tacos with fruit salsa are OK. They're appetizer size (and on the app menu), so don't treat them like a meal. Their cocktails are on the sweet side. The service varies, from inattentive (like the socializing hosts),to a waitress who genuinely cared about the whole experience, to the somewhat prickly&grouchy bartender. What the shuck? The prices are steep for the area. It's strictly seasonal. It's OK. read more

I believe I just got shuckered into paying $10 for some discount cauliflower drenched in hot buffalo sauce. Menu called it 'fried cauliflower' but I'm pretty sure these went to prison and lost a fight. Why is this on the menu? read more

And when walking into this place you feel like this has an opportunity based on the view of the boats. That's where it falls apart. The staff is poorly trained on the menu/bar and the kitchen executed horrifically I'm pretty much everything. I found it very weird when our waitress had to shuck our table oysters versus having a shocking station that somebody was responsible for, which delayed anybody needing anything. Again, once the food started coming out, it was not good. For example, the tuna bowl was pretty much frozen tuna and frozen rice with a sprinkle of seaweed salad. To the point where my wife got sick the next day over it. Really gross. Please heed my warning, don't go and spend your money here.... read more

Arrived on first day of the season and we found good food offered with really generous and friendly service. Oysters were absurdly fresh, shrimp cocktail by the shrimp was fresh and what one would expect, and fine dishes also available. We ate on a floating platform in the marina and had great views of the water and the boats. read more

My wife and I are on a New England road trip. Basically just cruising around to eat food and see the sights. We're from Louisville Kentucky so it doesn't take much to impress us. In fact, each place we've been so far has far surpassed our expectations. I say all that to be very clear. Shuckers is NOT a quality place. Bad greet, bad service, bad food, bad environment. Not cool. read more

Best restaurant if you around Falmouth or Wood holes highly recommended to try. Had best experiences as we ordered Steamed Lobster and Pan Smeared Salman... both dishes were yummy and good. Dillon was our server and did extremely good job recommending and helping us with nice dishes they had to offer. Will visit again read more

I'm giving 3 stars because I went during Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed my time and my food, was able to bring our dog to dine outside. Today however was a different story. I've never waited so long to get into a restaurant that clearly had open tables. The hostesses were there dealing with take out orders, even took people that came in after us that pushed their way up to the desk. We got sat in our preferred location but not one greeted us or took our order for an extended period of time. A waitress did eventually come over and take our drinks and oyster order. My boyfriend liked his Mojito, the frozè was super sweet and hard to drink. We had to ask for water, which came in a carafe which was very warm. We are used to eating good oysters and thought a place named Shuckers would be good quality. All of the oysters were still attached to the shell, there were pieces of shell in them, the worse shucking I've ever had! Really disappointing. We had to ask for our check as well, the waitress never checked on us. We were planning on ordering more food but decided to go else where. read more

I'm going to repeal my previous review of shuckers as "the worst restaurant on the planet". This restaurant changed owners a couple of seasons ago and the improvement in the service and the overall food quality is really worthy of going from 1 star to 4. good drinks, good staff, great setting. I was always eager to tell visitors how awful this restaurant was and NO local would EVER eat at shuckers. Under new ownership this restaurant is definitely a WH option and locals should give it another try. read more

We ordered the calamari, a dozen little necks the little necks were filled with sand and tasted rotten. the calamari was over coocked not covered in breading and burnt. decided to not order a main dish due to the food being so bad!! read more

Thanks to the staff of shuckers for welcoming us back to restaurants from covid with an experience worthy of this rating. The waitress had her back turned on us the entire time, brought out entree's and apps at the same time, did not check in on us during our meals and did not ask to refill our drinks. Honestly worst experience and hoped our first in woods hole would have been better. What was Guy Fieri thinking. read more

Fantastic food, service, and ambience. The dinner specials were fantastic and we loved every bite.
