    Shrimp & Oyster Basket
    Veleria L.

    We stopped in for lunch after a meeting in Salisbury NC. Wow, what a great little gem! The food was fresh and flavorful. The service was personable and the food came out fast. The shrimp and oyster basket was large enough to share; the portions are very large. I think it's pretty cool that they put a "southern" spin on the seafood! Everything we got had seasoning and flavor. Service was great and so was the ambience! Will go again

    Low Country Boil
    Erika O.

    This was our first time eating here. We've tried to dine in multiple times but they were super busy and the wait was long. That's gotta say something right? We ordered the Low Country Boil and hushpuppies. It was good, but a little plain. Even with Old Bay and Lemon Pepper, it wasn't very flavorful. It wasn't a traditional boil... Not quite as messy if you like that kinda thing. Potatoes were cut up, and the corn wasn't seasoned. The shrimp were huge and the kielbasa was good. Overall it was a good option if you don't wanna get your hands dirty... but we prefer messy low country boils lol. Drinks were good... the live music was amazing!! I don't know the girls name but she made it awesome. Atmosphere is loud even without the music... just a heads up for people who get overstimulated easy or don't like a lot of noise when you're eating. BUT it is an oyster bar sooooo that's just how it is lol.

    Food was off the chain!!! Service was seriously excellent! Love the ambiance Loved our waitress, Beamer!

    In a city where chain restaurants factor prominently on the food scene, Shuckin' Shack establishes itself as a clear star in my mind--and one that I look forward to visiting many times over. Located in cute, quaint downtown Salisbury, Shuckin' Shack is a great spot for seafood lovers--but also offers some solid options for those that don't partake. With numerous steamed & fried options on the menu, I opted for the calabash shrimp & oysters and was not at all disappointed. Fresh seafood, perfectly seasoned, & expertly prepared--with Old Bay included among the table condiments for added flavor--a total win in my book! The Pineapple Jalapeño Mule that I selected from their signature cocktail list was an excellent accompaniment--bright & refreshing with just the right touch of spice. All of my dining companions greatly enjoyed their dishes. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Cool little joint , nice atmosphere. Crab legs and Shrimp was very good and the prices were reasonable.

    Low country boil
    Daniel R.

    We got the Low Country Boil. Been past here many times trying to come in but it's always been crazy busy. Finally got here at a decent time to eat. The food was really good and the atmosphere is pretty busy. If you don't like loud, I'd go somewhere else. If you can handle a noisy background, it's a good place to drop in for dinner.

    The Louie Salad
    Jonnie D.

    Amazing service! Very polite and welcoming. Food is delicious. Tried the Louie Salad today with blackened shrimp. So good! Oysters, steamed shrimp, steam pots, etc.. have all been great in the past! 5 's

    We love Shuckin Shack for a date night. Fun, relaxed beach bar atmosphere and full bar with daily specials!

    Wings
    Vincent L.

    Local favorite, there was a waiting list at night but the crowd move fast. Menu items are plenty, you can get seafood, burgers and wings. Of course majority of people got seafood which is what it is known for. They have a lot of customers so seafood inventory is not old. if you choose the steam options, some other restaurants might serve you old and chewy clams/mussels/shrimps. Fried items are ok, bonus is their dipping sauce. Service is excellent, waitress come by and check on us all the time. They need to change the oil for their wings, I can see and taste that it is getting old. Crab legs are not in season so don't get the crab legs, it looks so skinny like a pencil. Everywhere is like that, not only their suppliers' issue

     tray of oysters with a lemon wedge
    Hannah H.

    Shuckin shack in Salisbury - who knew you could get so much seafood in the middle of the triad! So many options from crab, to scallops, oysters and more. We happened to walk by this place and had to try it out! It's vibe reminds you of a coastal beach bar with colorful decor and a long bar. Their staff was super helpful and kind but the service left a little to be desired. We ordered a dozen of their grilled oysters and unfortunately they forgot to put them in but they were super kind and had them come out quickly after they realized. The oysters themselves were a great price and came from VA. The toppings added a nice flavor bonus but if you prefer the taste of oysters these toppings may be too much as the bacon and cheese over power the oysters. Looking forward to going back and trying a few more things.

    This was our first time here and overall it was good. It was a busy day and they seemed to be somewhat short staffed, this could have affected the food quality. It is branded as a seafood restaurant but feels more like a sports bars inside. It's hard to find good seafood in this area of NC, not near the coast, and it was decent. We ordered the charbroiled oysters which didn't have much flavor and were covered in cheese. We will most likely try it again when in Salisbury but will order something different.

So we decided to get a bite while we were in the area.My wife wanted the coconut Shrimp. I decided on the wings. I just about got the Lasagna. It's all ways been good over the years. I had a salad to go with my wings. Salad was fine. My wife wanted the sweet sauce for her coconut shrimp but it came with some other dipping sauce. Which neither she or I liked. Her Coconut shrimp were cooked that had it been a piece of meat it would be Well Done. There was no sign of coconut on the shrimp. And the dipping sauce wasn't even good. My wings were cooked to death. I was rolling them in the wing sauce to possibly give them some moisture. They were cooked dry I was having to wash each one down with my beverage.

Let me…read morepreface the rest of this review by saying I have been to 1 star Michelin restaurants as well as 5 star and have had great food and terrible food at both. And I never relish giving a bad review, but I have to be honest, this was one of the worst experiences I have had in some time. The restaurant looked closed from the front but as we got close to the door could see the hostess bar lit up, though there was no one behind it. It didn't take long though for someone to walk up to seat us, so I was hopeful it would be a good experience. We were seated at a booth, which I was glad of, and over to the side, so I thought it would be somewhat private. We sat for almost 20 minutes before someone came over to get our drink order - even though there were employees going back and forth refilling their own cups at the drink station behind us. We made sure to tell her we were ready to order our food at the same time so the wait wouldn't be so long. It was almost an hour from the time we sat til we got our food. The waitress was sweet enough, but she checked on us once. We had to take our cups to the hostess to ask for a refill on our drinks, after which the waitress came over to see if we wanted anything else. She had forgotten to bring a knife to the table, so my husband was using two forks - his and mine - to break up the chicken on his salad. And the only picture I'm sharing is of the half a cup of the driest macaroni and cheese I have ever eaten, which looked to have been scooped from a pan and thrown into a paper bowl and reheated in the microwave. It was honestly, the most disgusting mac and cheese I have ever eaten. I was disappointed to have paid $6.49. Two bites - one to taste, one to make sure I was right. So dry cardboard like, when held upside down, stuck to the cup with the exception of a few top pieces that fell out. The table of 8 people who left the table across from us as we sat down, had piled their plates and cups and utensils and garbage and that was never cleared away for the hour+ we sat there. In the mean time, the music that had been borderline too loud, was turned up so loud you couldn't hear the person across from you without screaming at them! When we mentioned to the waitress the need of utensils at the end of our meal, she brought it over and I asked for the check, it took another 10 minutes to get that! And then another 10 minutes as we waited for her to return for our payment. We ended up leaving cash so we could escape. Don't go. P.S. I changed my mind, there's 2 pics. Ugh. I hate leaving reviews like this, but man ...
