Not worth the effort to speak with management and will simply remove from our list.
We’ve been there many times and really like the food. Why come on here blasting the place when admittedly you didn’t even speak to a mgr?? Not fair to the establishment.

Default Still in business?

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

I believe in free speech. Negative restaurant reviews are always offset by positive reviews, if deserved. But, any review that contains accurate and detailed information, is useful.

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.

Took me a long time to go to O" Shucks, but after some good notes from friends gave it a try and absolutely loved the fried shrimp. No complaints regarding that menu item until this time. The item was a large shrimp platter, well prepared. This time it was a crispy small shrimp on a platter that looked half empty. It was rubbery and tasteless for ~$17. The celery stalks were brown and soggy. The waitress comments were that she didn't eat celery and they use whatever came out of the bag. Regarding the shrimp she says that is the kitchen responsibility.

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.
