A W Shucks Raw Bar & Grill

Best Mac n cheese! So creamy. Solid seafood place, oysters were yummy.Service is always a little slow

I came here last saturday with my family ad we were VERY happy with the service and the food we recieved during our visit. Our server was the wonderful Amanda, and she was very patient, kind and knowledgeable about the menu and the specials of the day. We had tried the wings, the stuffed jalapeños, the tomatoe and crab soup, the Halibut special, the jambalya with blackened catfish, the fried red snapper, The the mac n cheese, the kids burger, the Bread pudding (DELISH! ), the coconut cake ( soooo rich), and the Chesapeake Beer. All of the food was top tier and we intend to return when we are in the area. I am very excited to experience the next round of specials in the futureThe resturant is a casual set up, with the bathrooms situated near teh front doors. The are some nice decorative elements and the restroom was clean.

My family came here while on a group vacation. We were craving seafood and looked for a good spot in the area where we were staying. They were pretty packed and there was not much seating in the main dining area so we had to sit in their front room, near the entrance. It wasn't too bad but service was affected a bit.The serving sizes are huge. The food was a bit bland but it was definitely very filling. Their hush puppies were not the best but they could pass. They were too big and hard for my kiddo. She did not like them with her fried shrimp.We had fried fish and shrimp po'boys. The Mac & cheese side was so tasteless. Hubby had a chicken sandwich and that thing was completely dry. There was no sauce on it at all. It was just dry, grilled or baked chicken breast on thick dry bread.Our biggest gripe was with the service and time it took to get everything, overall.

Actually it was a little cold for me in the restaurant but that is me I got the blackened tuna sandwich and it was good and my friend got the oyster stew which looked really good. Service was excellent.

Stopped in for a drink at the bar. Casual vibe with a long bar and lots of tables. They have a good raw bar selection but we didn't try anything. The food also looked good. We got a couple cocktails and they were done well. Service was friendly and fast. Next time I'm in town will have to try their food!

Bit expensive. Husbands po boy had like 5 popcorn shrimp and was $16. Service made me feel rushed. And ambiance was old, felt outdated. Oyster Romano is what saved the score

We have family visiting from out of town and they were craving seafood so we decided to come to A W Shucks Bar because it's been on my bookmarked list :) FOOD: Caesar salad was good but not spectacular. The blackened rockfish was great and so were their garlic green beans. The bread and butter were okay, I won't order it again. SERVICE: Friendly service! So nice and courteous. LOCATION: It's a huge space that I could totally miss if I wasn't looking for it. Located in Ghent, right off of Colonial. Would I come back? Heck yeah! Looks like they have a bunch of random specials during the week that I want to try.

It's high time I provide another Shucks review. They've treated me so well over the years and I've come to know and love many of their staff. I want to thank them for everything they've done for me.Probably the kindest gesture they provided me was after my dad passed away in July 2020. He was suffering from diabetes - we caught it fairly late and his entire body was slowly shutting down. After he had heart bypass surgery, things took a dark turn and he was gone 7 days later. Obviously, I was devastated. At the same time, it was tough to process everything because my mom was grieving, too (she unexpectedly lost her younger brother 2 months earlier). I put up a front by staying strong for the both of us, but it was extremely difficult. Anyways, I didn't do much for about 2 months, but finally made myself get out of the house. I ended up at Shucks, where I was greeted with hugs and well wishes from the staff. I had some meaningful discussions with them, too, and, wouldn't you know it, they wouldn't let me pay for dinner. They didn't have to do that, especially with the shutdown affecting all businesses. I felt them offering their condolences was beautiful enough. They went out of their way to make me feel normal again because they treated me as part of their family, which I cherish.Thank you, Shucks, for everything. You are the best. JV

Everything we've ordered has been great! They have some good happy hour specials, the service is always friendly, and the restaurant itself is really nice. Highly recommend for good seafood!

A hidden gem! Walking past, I never would have expected this spot to have such fresh and tasty seafood. The interior looks like a dive bar that only serves burgers and onion rings. While I have heard great things about their burgers, I was sticking to seafood. The seafood menu is pretty vast with plenty of options to choose from and a fresh catch of the day. I ordered the salmon special which came with a veggie and potato hash topped with a herby chimichuri sauce. So delicious and the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and service was great. I'd definitely come back.
