Shuckin' Shack Oyster - Porters Neck

Dark bar eatery. Wait staff not well informed about what they serve hard for them to answer basic questions about where seafood selections are sourced, or what grade, etc. More like a bar than a restaurant in atmosphere. Didn't stay to eat.

It's a cool spot. Calamari is tasty and wings get the job done

Food was fine. Service was polite but a bit hovery for most of the meal and then slow at the end. 2 BIG Issues: 1. We watched 2 roaches circling tables the entire meal. 2. We arrived at 6:30pm and it was pretty empty inside. Besides the bar, there was only one table. They sat us at the worlds smallest 2 top but over half the table was taken Up by buckets and a box of sauces that neither of us used. I could not use my right hand to grab anything without knocking things off the table we asked to move to the surrounding 4 or six tops but were told no. However, the only other people who came inside for tables was a party of 2 like us and they got a 4 top. By the time we had our dinner and our drinks at the table, there was literally no room for anything and crab legs, lemons and other food kept falling on the floor because there was literally no room. It was the most ridiculous thing. Would go someplace else next time. Do NOT recommend. Parking: There are several paid parking lots… Parking decks blocks away

Had a lovely meal Tuesday evening, enjoying the specials: oysters, wings and shrimp!

After a 8hr drive we could not wait to get our hands on some food. This place came highly recommended by some friends that used to love in the area and it definitely held true to the hype. We were able to call in our order ahead of time so that we could take it to our final destination. The person that answered the phone was friendly and very helpful. My husband ordered blackened mahi and tuna tacos, both were delicious. I ordered the crab cake sandwich with fries and coleslaw, also delicious and a warm welcome back to Carolina. Would definitely recommend to friends family, we will return on our next trip to Carolina.
