Ordered the poke bowl the ahi was perfect. Also had a few oysters on the half and were very good with the house made cocktail sauce and horseradish. Definitely will come back with friends. And I would recommend Shucks to anyone looking for a great seafood meal.
Our first time here and chose it because they have a large amount of gluten free selections. When celiac eat at restaurants that say they have some gluten free items and you find they meant the salad minus the croutons, you revel whenever you can eat at a place like Shucks that has many main menu choices as GF. What's even better is their food is delicious too. We will be back. Often!
Another great meal. Tonight's special was the shrimp poblano and it was amazing. Don't forget to order a cup of the lobster bisque. The Moscow mule was delicious too.
First time here and wow. Prices are hi for fresh but it's fresh all right. Tuna is OMG. Lobster roll in heaven. Heard this location is best. We agree
Feels like home, so good. I came in here before I had even moved into my apartment. The bartender was friendly and cracked jokes and just was in general comfortable. The food was good and I felt like it was a place for relaxing, a place where you want to become a regular.
The food was tasty and while it's not as showy as Plank, they definitely know their seafood.
Strongly recommend.
Good seafood in south downtown Omaha. Tried the Leavenworth Street Shuck's a few weeks ago with visiting friends. We were all pleasantly surprised by the items we ordered. One of us had the fried walleye, which she found delicious. The Deep South Risotto, something I'd never thought I'd say before going to Shuck's, was extremely tasty. And the bill was not overly large for what we ordered. Service was quick and polite as well. Will definitely go back.
Outstanding all around!. Let me just start out by saying that this is, by far, the best location of the three Shucks locations. The specials for both lunch and dinner are always delicious and never fail to push the envelope of creativity. I mean, where else can you get a Smoked Salmon Reuben or Sushi Tacos? For that matter, would you really trust anyone else to do seafood the way Absolutely Fresh does? As a bonus, the wait staff are always friendly and attentive without being overly so.
Gustatory. Moved into Dixie Quicks old digs. Good sea food. Keeps eyes open for sea food specials.
Po' What?. Ok, admittedly I didn't think it was possible, but man-o-man can this place make a po' boy! Ca c'est bon - as they say down in Cajun country. The jambalaya and gumbo are solid, but their po' boys are worth the trip!
Tasty. Po Boys and bloody marys. That's all you really need, right? Salmon BLT is good too, as it the jambalaya.
We had a lovely and delicious lunch here on the patio. The shrimp pivot was perfect with a yummy sauce and super fresh bread. A good value. Don't go to joes crab shack come here. We loved it
Oysters!. Got to love this joint. We've been done twice for happy hour which is a bargain. Nothing fancy but sometimes it's great to sit outside and slurp some oysters and drink some beers. Reminds me of being in New Orleans. Like the catfish fingers, too. And the gumbo is pretty darn good which is high praise coming from a Cajun who's eaten the real deal since childhood. One comment -- some of the oyster shuckers are better than others. Gotta watch for shell chips if you get an inexperienced one.
Late review: We were here at 12:45. It was a little busy because of lunch times. The food takes almost half an hour for some reason. The waitress kinda nice, but she so hurries. She did not even listen to all the orders, and of course, she came back and asked again. The food was delicious, but it would take me a while to come back here.
Five stars for the great quality seafood/oyster bar. The oysters here are great and flown in next-day, so they live up to their name. Fish tastes fresh. The shrimp is great and the clam chowder is too. Happy hour offers seafood and non-seafood options. A fun spot to hit up for lunch or after work. Decor and atmosphere nice for the whole family. Side note: personal preference is to use harder roll on the poboys, but that doesn't take away.
You are near downtown Omaha and there is this place that looks like it might be down on the docks in New Orleans, you enter, paper table coverings, a bar, good beer and very good seafood. No white table cloths, no pretentious surroundings, just a dockside bar with great seafood. The Gumbo was terrific! Omaha, NE, who knew.
Great service and wonderful easy atmosphere. The staff are very friendly asking about where your from? Are you a tourist or local.. and providing recommendations about where to go if you have any question... the food.. is wonderful. The best oysters, with a great selection of oysters available. The lobster stuffed mushrooms, great hot appetizer... can't forget the oyster shooter... best way to suck an oyster down.
My family and I were in town for my oldest daughter's dance competition. We were lucky to find a seafood restaurant still open after competition night that accommodated our Lenten sacrifice. If you love seafood, you have to give this place a try. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and had our kids wanting more! A plus for the kids was being able to draw on the paper strewn out over the table. Kids got a big kick out of that!
Just stopping by to have some good seafood while in town, I came across this gem of an establishment. I wanted a light meal and I did just that; catfish bites, grilled oysters and a strawberry lemonade that the waitress/ bartender prepared for me. The staff was helpful & friendly, even allowed to park my e-bike inside.
We popped in for a relaxed date night. Always great food, attentive and serious servers, reasonable prices. Definitely a top notch place. The patio was nice that night, in the shade, quiet, gave us great ambiance. Had some NAs for those who enjoy alcohol free options. Below is the Gruben, a Ruben using Grouper rather than Pastromi, and the shrimp and cornbread special
Great happy hour specials ! Very local with best oyster deal in town. Loved their peel and eat shrimp as well and clam strip. Wish I have more time to sample all the foods on the menu
Wonderful atmosphere! They have patio seating if it’s a nice day it might be fun to sit out there. The customer service was fantastic. I’m so impressed with their selection of allergy friendly foods! I got a po boy and it wasn’t to spicy for my sensitive palate so I very much appreciate that. It was a little chilly in there so maybe bring a light cardigan
Seafood in Omaha? I was skeptical. Shucks removed that skepticism rather quickly. I sat at the bar where I had oysters being prepared for me. The happy hour was solid, $1 an oyster. I think the oysters were called the early points? Not my favorite type of oyster but it got the job done.
The seafood enchilada was the star of the show. The slaw and rice it came with was a nice contrast to the enchilada itself. Nice chunks of shrimp and fish, it came out piping hot! You know you made the right choice when your server tells you "good choice", it's always reassuring. Lol given how good the dinner was, I had to try the key lime pie. The pie was delicious, but I've had better.
I would definitely come back here when in Omaha.
