Beware of the owner who is also the manager-- he is extremely rude and unappreciative of customers. My experience: I called 5:40pm Sunday Father's Day for advance seating for 7 people for the oyster bar and asked for oyster bucket prices explaining we were all hungry for steamed oysters. I was told no wait time as only 2 people were at the bar --but if there was a wait when we arrived, we would be seated first as no one was currently on the wait list. We arrived about 6pm and the hostess acknowledged we were on the list ahead of 7 other names (3 currently crossed off). The place was completely packed. We explained again we were hungry for steamed oysters and the hostess advised us we could get steamed oysters at any table too. We agreed to take the first available of either bar or table seating -- we just wanted steamed oysters we told the hostess. After waiting for about 20 minutes and noticing other parties being seated ahead of us, one of us went in to ask an estimated seating time and was told it would only be about another 10 minutes. At 7:10pm (70 min wait) we were seated. When the waitress came to take our drink order we knew exactly what we wanted and ordered our drinks plus 3 buckets of steamed oysters to start off with. About 10 minutes later the waitress returned to tell us they had just run out of oysters. We were obviously upset at this point and asked to speak with the manager. The owner arrived at our table almost instantly-- and we initially took this as a good sign. We explained our situation and then made the mistake of requesting some sort of dispensation for our experience. The owner went off on a tangent explaining what a bad week he had with distributers and upset customers like us-- and how everyone wants something from him. He kept saying "it is what it is" which i took to mean-- go screw yourself. So we all politely got up and shook his hand acknowledging his week was obviously worse than ours and we left Shuckers-- never to return.
Pros: None
Cons: Owner is rude and unappreciative of customers

Shucker's was definately a dissappointment. The drinks were weak. I would have had to drink 6 or 7 to get a buzz going and I am a light weight. My Crab cakes were at room temp. The crab was crab and nothing special. The only thing we did enjoy was the shrimp. The service was good aside from the fact the the "all you can eat crab, shrimp and muscles" is not really the case. All they bring you is crab and if you would like to try the shrimp that is suppose to come with the all you can you have to ask for it and don't think that it is going to come in a timely fashion, oh no about a half hour later. The worst part of the night was the not so honest waitress decided to accept the $20 tip we left on the table (on a $90 ticket) and then give herself another $20 tip on our credit card. Within about a week we were credited (at our request)with no explanation or anything. I would have liked a explanation or a free drink. Some sort of acknowledgment. If you really want some room temp seafood and some weak drinks go to Shuckers, you will have a blast. Oh yah don't forget to use cash only or the oh' so sweet waitress will probably buy herself something a little extra with your credit card. BEWARE!!!!!!
Cons: The waitress's like to give themselfs tips with your credit card!
