About Shuckin' Shack

"Shuckin

When the founders opened the first Shuckin’ Shack in 2007, their goal was to provide the highest quality seafood and drinks while removing all the pre-conceived notions of only getting great food a few times per year. Opening the second location in Historic Wilmington in 2012 brought similar success, even in a market flooded with seafood restaurants, taverns, and bars. One thing remained clear - Shuckin’ Shack was different than the tired “fry it all” seafood houses found all over the Southeastern United States. After a warm reception and a number of awards, as well as being featured in Coastal Living Magazine’s “22 Best Seafood Dives in America,” 2014 brought a new adventure: franchising. Sticking with the same mantra that brought two successful restaurants in North Carolina,

Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar can now be found in multiple states with over a dozen locations. The formula that works for “The Shack” can be found in their mission statement: “To show each guest ‘A Good Shuckin’ Time’ through fresh seafood, high-quality spirits, and exceptional customer service.”
