O"Shucks
I like to see a local establishment do well.
O"Shucks presented a good time in a Humble environment. They served a great fried shrimp dinner and other items. Just went tonight and primarily noticed very few patrons. Ordered our usual fried shrimp and it was memorable in a bad way. The shrimp were half the size and rubbery. Celery sticks served were brown. Brought the issue up and were told, I never eat it and it comes in a bag. Not worth the effort to speak with management and will simply remove from our list. |
I haven't been there for awhile, but I only go for the raw oysters. They really should pave their parking lot.

I have enjoyed probably 80% of my visits there. Mostly stick to the fish n chips on Fridays. The fish and the fries are both excellent every time. Have had the burgers there too which are decent. Pricing is very good.
I don't expect most places to be great every time. They're definitely more consistent than most for a local restaurant like that. |
Stay away from outside seating area. The mosquitoes out to get you
|
It's always been a tiny dive bar with a pretty good, but limited, seafood menu (burgers were pretty good too). Shouldn't be surprised that a dive bar can fall down.

Food was good but kind of lost my appetite. The outside area borders a garbage dump |

$1 drafts may be a factor why the parking lot stays full most of the time.

Mosquitoes are bad in their outdoor seating area. Get bitten every time I sit there.

My experience: dusk is worse than well before dusk, when we have not experienced mosquitos. Also, when driving by the restaurant recently, I have observed fewer cars that I assume means fewer customers. |
Does anyone know how the planned Wawa’s location affects the O’Shuck’s property? I recall reading about a Wawa’s entrance on 301, and well as on 44.

Still in business?
We drove by there one afternoon and didn’t see any cars in the parking lot and it looked abandoned.

Yeah it looks kinda dumpy, but has a friendly staff and decent food. The oyster trays are reasonably priced and delicious. This is a family run restaurant which is rare around here. For each complainer you'll find plenty of happy patrons.

We've sat outside every time we have gone and have never had a bug problem. We usually go around 2 PM so that probably makes a difference.
Yes it's a real dive bar of a place but we have always liked the food and the prices. This thread reminds me that we have to go back. |

We've had mixed results the several times we've been there. The food is mostly good, haven't had the issues with the mosquitos sitting outside but I can believe it based on our subdivision bordering a large swampy nature preserve, our issues have been with the service. Specifically, the last two times we went we sat outside both times, had two different waitresses and the service was terrible, seriously bad. It's like we didn't exist for the most part. What was weird is they seemed to be servicing the tables around us just fine, don't know why we were different? We haven't been back but probably will go at some point, maybe.

My observation is that no one cared and that any amount of complaining would not ensure that it was improved. If the kitchen downsized the shrimp and doesn't care, then I will care and make my decision that "one bad meal" wasn't a mistake but was acceptable to them. |

All I can say after 1 visit is, "EW!" One health inspector visit away from being shut down. If you like greasy fried food, this is your place.
