The Shuckery has some of the freshest oysters. The Happy hour menu is a good value. However, the seafood cocktail had rubbery and bland tasting prawns and crab claws. The Caesar salad was over dressed with an overly acidic dressing. I recommend sticking with $2 oysters and a bread basket with grilled bread and a tasty olive garlic dipping sauce. The pickled mussels in a tin with pickles and bread were a winner as well. Service was excellent.

Went to the Shuckery before heading to a concert at the Mystic Theatre. The Shuckery's lively dining area was a nice opening act. The cod arancini special was delish! The oysters were super fresh and the food is always amazing.

The food was delicious and so beautifully served. I have never been disappointed. All of our anniversaries and birthdays are celebrated there, and the cocktail itself was a party.

We came to the Shuckery for my girlfriend’s birthday, and Hannah was an amazing waitress, incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the items that would be gluten intolerant safe, and when she didn’t know, she went and found out and made sure that we were taken care of! We will be back again soon because of the experience and the quality of the food.
