It seems every time I visit downtown Anderson, new restaurants and businesses are popping up. One of the latest additions...Shucks Oyster Bar. Shucks is not a restaurant that serves oysters. They are truly an oyster bar. Raw oysters, steamed oysters or specials (like Oysters Rockafeller) - they've got them. They have a few other side items, like a delicious and spicy crawfish corn bread, but they're obviously focusing on what they want to do best. So...the oysters. We got a selection of raw and steamed. They were fresh and had a good selection of side sauces. There was some inconsistency in the shucking, with some not quite separated from the shell, and a few broken bits of shell, but not so much to detract from our enjoyment. The atmosphere is vibrant. Expect a bit of a wait for a table, and you'll be elbow to elbow with other diners, however not in a bad way. Grab a beer, relax and expect a good time.

First time here but hopefully not our last. The service was great and food delicious. Friendly staff, never waited for water and that's big for me. We had the soup of the day to start (shrimp&corn chowder) and then bar b que and peel and eat shrimp low country and we recommend either of these.

See all

Beautiful views of Anderson, SC. Be advised that most of the seating is outside thus the name Up On…read moreThe Roof. We went on Mother's Day , bright and sunny skies and HOT in the sun. The whole trying to get out of the sun was a thing. They have some seating indoors, and some seating under a roof . Everything else is outside with no cover whatsoever. There appeared to be a sun shade that could be pulled over the seating area but perhaps I was wrong because surely they would have utilized the sun shade if it were available. I think because they were very busy the manager ( from NJ) was harder to deal with than usual ( don't know as I've never been there) on the ride up in the elevator the people getting in said " Good Luck" to us . The waiter and host were very nice but apparently anytime a guest tried to get seated out of the sun the manager sounded very irritated. Anyway.... On to the food : I am extremely gluten sensitive. So far no stomach issues and it's been a couple of hours. We had a charcuterie board that was delicious. The only gluten were pencil breadsticks. I ate cheese and grapes and pickled okra. It was very fresh and good. I had the fresh trout meal which included creamed corn and a few baby grilled carrots. There were two pieces. It was really tasty . They have one gluten free desert : strawberry shortcake type deal. Almond cake with strawberry confiet. It was really delicious. The head chef is gluten free so I felt safe eating there. My other family members had a breakfast burrito and chicken lettuce wraps. They both seemed to enjoy their meals. I will most probably give it another shot on a non holiday to see if they have more luck with finding another coffee press ( they apparently were all in use or they truly just had one?) and to see if seating of your choice is more accommodated.

Other than our service being a little delayed, everything about our experience was amazing! Me and…read moremy best friend went for restaurant week to take advantage of their 3 for $35 dinner deal.. Best decision ever!! I'm typically not the type of person who orders brussel sprouts as an appetizer, but theirs are *chef's kiss*. We could've gotten full off of those and the chicken lettuce wraps alone. Our chicken sandwiches were both really flavorful and fresh. The mango slaw was the perfect addition! Desserts were also amazing. I'm so glad I finally had the opportunity to try this establishment. The location and views are immaculate. Free parking in the garage and easy access to the roof. I will definitely be back!
