Shucks Tavern & Oyster Bar - Durango Rd

We've been loyal patrons of Shuck's Tavern & Ouster Bar for years, and every visit is nothing short of exceptional. Tonight was no different; we returned for another memorable evening, and our server, Thomas, truly elevated the experience. He was attentive without being intrusive, checking in precisely when needed while maintaining a wonderfully low-key presence that we deeply appreciated. The timing of each course was impeccable, with dishes arriving hot and perfectly paced. The highlight of our meal was the bacon-wrapped shrimp with the caribbean sauce. And those sidewinder fries; yummy! Every bite delivered a seafood experience that keeps us coming back. Thank you for consistently exceeding expectations!

My husband and I came here just a week ago (back in end of Oct). We were really excited from reading all the reviews and seeing pictures. Unfortunately our experience did not equate to what most people got. Coming inside, the atmosphere was very fitting for what is presented as a tavern. It's not my kind of environment but I appreciate the aesthetic they were going for. It wasn't super smokey which I also appreciate. First and foremost, I honestly came here for the oysters as I love to have them around my bday (I don't like attention which is why this was not mentioned to staff). The taste were fine, but I did not find the color pleasant and the lack of shucking done properly. On top of that I had to spit out shells/debris to almost all of them. My husband's Cajun Jambalaya seemed like it was made from canned tomatoes. All we tasted was spaghetti which is unfortunate. The Shrimp boil was okay, nothing to write home about. Was kind of oily so maybe not good for someone who's sensitive. The saving grace for me was the Steak and Crab dish. They cooked my steak perfectly and the crab tasted fantastic. However, the veggies in it were soggy and gross. Our waiter was subpar, didn't seem like he cared too much about tending to our needs as much as others. Otherwise he was okay for the most part. Would we come back here? Probably not. Unless we get invited out here by family/friends.

Local My every other Friday date Peel Shrimp $10 Specialty drinks are $16 Bring $140 Lobster Mac N cheese is good Breakfast Avocado toast or Benedict All pastas are good Fries

We had crab cakes, lemon pepper wings, bacon wrapped shrimp and a seafood sampler. Our service and the food were great!! How can you beat 24/8 seafood???

It was my mom's birthday and she loves this place. I've never been. The food was amazing. I had the breakfast quesadilla and it came with salsa, sour cream and guacamole and my long island ice tea was perfect. The others had the club sandwich, fried shrimp, burger and seafood gumbo. I did try a bite of the gumbo and it was delicious.

I can say this is the best restaurant I have ever been in Vegas! The service (they’re always checking if everything is okay), and the FOOD soooooo delicious!!! Clam chowder is great! Wings were sooooo good and fish/chips (fish were really tasty and fresh)!!! I felt like i was in San Diego! Fresh Fish & Chips!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Keep it up! Excellent customer service and the foods too! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have been here twice and. both times the food was good and plentiful. I've had the lamb chops, garlic fries, ceviche, calamari and I tasted the catfish, everything was perfect. Others that were with enjoyed their meals as well. The servers has been great as well. The bar area is in the front by the entrance but there are televisions that you can see in the restaurant area as well. When you first walk in if you aren't a smoker the smell will hit kind of heavy once you initially enter, but the smell dies down once you are sitting in the restaurant for a while. I will be returning...

Lovely Vegas pub with a large menu so even if somebody in your group doesn't like seafood, there will be plenty of other options. Portions were generous and staff was quick with refills and requests. Sadly, smoking is allowed at the bar but ventilation and distance made it tolerable in the adjacent dining room.

Me and the wife enjoyed our visit. The exterior and interior was so fun. Our service was good from the beginning when we sat down to the point we left. The food we were served was very good. One point was that I ordered a bloody Maria vs a bloody Mary. They got it right! Looking forward to a revistt.

Rainy day in the hood, we were looking for a quick lunch and we were out in centennial and figured Shucks would work as we've been there before and it was pretty good. Aedin was our server, the bar had a few regulars by the look of things. There were only two tables occupied when we got there after the traditional lunch hour. My dining partner ordered the shrimp basket with sweet potato fries and I ordered a smash burger with tots. Food came out reasonably quickly, her shrimp were fried almost to the point of being over fried by the look of the breading and the sweet potato fries the same.... I guess they were ok because there were no complaints on the food, but appearance wise, just not appetizing to me.... I guess I had a different perception of what a smash burger was than what I got.... In my mind a smash burger is this thinnish burger with crispy edges and the cheese semi melted in . What I got were two patties that may have been a tiny bit thinner than when put on the flat top , but certainly not smashed or flattened. The burgers were very juicy to the point of three or four napkins needed. Again in my mind a true smash burger may have most of the fat cooked off. Don't get me wrong the burger tasted ok, I hoovered it down, but it wasn't a smash burger by my definition. The tater tots were crispy. All in all, I guess the meal was just ok, they've been better on previous visits. No military discount either

Fresh seafood and quick service. $35 for half pound cold peel and eat shrimp, shrimp cocktail, caviche, and half pound of calamari fed two people a nice light lunch. It was a little dark but its a tavern so you get the ambiance of well a bar. It was quiet during the week.

Shuck's Gaming & Oyster Bar is a 24/7 restaurant, bar, gaming type place with two locations in Las Vegas. The Centennial Location offers bar seating, booth seating, and traditional table seating. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner with of course oysters and a seafood heavy menu. We started out by trying Cadillac Margaritas. They don't have that traditional taste to me but GOSH they are mighty strong. I tried the grilled haddock. It was nothing fancy but everything was prepared perfect and it was a large generous portion. Even the vegetables were prepared nicely and seemed freshly made. My husband tried the Jambalaya. He said everything was cooked nicely and it was flavorful. He prefers Jambalaya a little spicier but still it was very good and he was pleased. Service was speedy and efficient. Prices are low. Portions are large. Service was quick and efficient. We plan to return.

This restaurant stays open late, so I chose this over some of the other open restaurants. The ambiance is dimly lit, with several TV's on the same channel playing in the background. service is slow, even though when I went (11:30pm) it wasn't busy. It appears that if you are a regular customer, you get quicker service. The food is good, especially the clam chowder, and bacon wrapped shrimp.

Service was great the ladies were kind and accommodating. Place was nice you can smoke in the bar area as they hade some gambling machines. Food was ok not bad clam chowder was out the can. Seafood salad was ok could useva bit more prepared love but ok did a Seafood salad. Tacos were tasty and the fried calamari was good. If in the area will come back.

We had another great lunch here. The clam chowder, clam strips, fried shrimp and fries were all very good (the kitchen even split our shrimp basket for us. They were extremely busy but Jordan our server was still awesome and very attentive. Thank you again foe another great dine in experience!

Been eating here for years (since we moved here in '08!), and its one of my favorite go to spots. Ive seen it grow from a Chicago Bears bar to now representing our local Vegas teams! They have pretty good seafood; however, I think my favorite time to go is breakfast. The breakfast is well priced and is always very tasty. Fabian is one of the best servers!

We ordered 4 mimosas and 4 shots of Tito's vodka and were charged $80 completely ridiculous prices for cheap champagne and slightly above well vodka. We come here because they have good chowder and typically get mussels but this time half of our mussels were so small they fell out of the shell. Shucks is no longer on our list of places to go grab lunch. The service and alcohol selection has always been sub par but we've looked past that when the prices were okay but now it's all around horrible.

Food amazing. My favorite: their shrimp broil! But honestly have never had a bad meal here. I will say the cigarette smoke is a bit much but other than that prices good, good delicious, drinks on point.

I been coming here since 2013. every item I have ordered has been good. I have never had inconsistent miss or hit food. I first tried the breakfast and very good ! enjoyed with a bloody mary.

The rock fella posters were good. The ceviche not so much. I would say it's a chill spot. I was there celebrating a retirement party. Depending on the server you get is going to be the experience you get. Our server seemed to be rushing us. Asking every six seconds if we needed boxes. It was clean on the inside as well.

Really enjoyed the breakfast, especially the croissant sandwich. Have tried the fish and chips on the past as well and they were really good. Nice and crispy breading with juicy fish inside. Only reason I put 4 stars is because of the wait. I placed an order to pick up and was told 15 minutes but waited a total of 28 minutes when there my were not that busy. Again it's not a big deal and there was a total of 4 meals made but again that's the only reason for 4 and not 5 stars

Please know, this is a bar. But it's a bar with great seafood. It's best to just get a bunch of different appetizers and also crab legs. Crab legs are always on point. The ceviche is great, ask for the habanero Tabasco to put on it too. The lamb chops are amazing. Can't beat it for 24/7 bar food.

We eat at Shuck's (Durango location) often whenever we stay at my brother's house, it's so close and convenient They're opened 24/7 and offer good quality food and have a full bar. Today I finally made it there in time to actually see their breakfast menu. I had the breakfast quesadilla and my husband had the American breakfast with French toast. My first bite into the quesadilla and I can tell how well they cook their scrambled eggs. Fluffy, airy and light. For protein I had sausage in mine. It was delicious! I've had many items here but I always forget to do a review until now. Such a large variety of food to choose from. Everything is freshly prepared when ordered and so good! Portions are generous! The staff is super friendly and accommodating! One of my go to places!

We returned here for another seafood feast at the place that has the best crab buckets I have yet sampled in the Las Vegas Valley. This time we began with delectable Bacon Wrapped Shrimp; a very tasty Bowl of New England Clam Chowder; a small deconstructed Classic Wedge Salad containing lettuce, tomato, pieces of bacon, Red Onion, and Bleu Cheese Dressing; a slice of Garlic Bread; and creamy Coleslaw. Then, while Diane happily dug into Fried Clam Strips and a Fisherman's Platter of Beer Battered Haddock, plump Fried Shrimp, and French Fries, I tore apart a Clam Bucket that included a pound of delicious Dungeness Crab prepared with Lemon Pepper seasoning, mild Andouille Sausage, and nicely butter-rubbed Red Potatoes and Corn on the Cob. The crab meat was further enhanced when dipped into Drawn Butter. We had a slow break between appetizers and entrees. As usual, this was a great crustacean-centric meal!

Great food, great bar, great company, great bartenders, great owner. We love shucks! Machines play nice here :). Never an empty drink! Plenty of sports on the tv's. Sometimes there's a wait but we don't mind because it's absolutely worth it.

How does a bar/restaurant not have any Jack Daniel's? Service was good. Food is ok

My mom was visiting and craving oysters. After taking her downtown, we were told her favorite oyster spot was no longer serving them, so I figured I'd take her here since it was closer to the house anyway! I had never been here before, but we decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did! We went on a Friday afternoon, around 4 pm. There were only about 2 other booths occupied. By the time we left, more people had arrived and the after-work crowd began trickling in at the bar. We sat in the booth section (you can seat yourself,) but the bar looked really fun with lots of cool lights, I may have to try that section on my next visit. We ordered the Crab Royale oysters and the 1/2 lb. Peel and Eat Shrimp. On Fridays, between 11 am-11 pm, they have 1/2 lb. Peel and Eat Shrimp, 1 lb. Mussels, Crab Dip, and Crawfish for $10 ea. They have other daily specials, again from 11 am-11 pm. I'll include a photo with those deals along with the entire menu just in case you're interested. I will say, my mother is the only reason I even entertained this restaurant because my husband doesn't eat seafood, but I was happy to see they offered other options on the menu, such as wings/tenders, burgers, and sandwiches. So now I won't feel guilty dragging him to Shucks because I know he'll be able to eat something, too! The Crab Royale is a half-dozen grilled oysters with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese, topped with crab. They were served warm with lemon and were delicious and fresh tasting- and to my surprise no grittiness! We ordered the shrimp hot (you can choose to have it hot or cold) and it was served with lemon and a generous bowl of melted butter. All of the seasoning was on the shell though, so we just peeled the shells off and rubbed it in the seasoning on the plate. For those who are picky about deveining their shrimp and wondering if they come butterflied, no, they don't. Our total was $29.25 for those two items ($16.99 oysters, $10 shrimp). I would have given them 5-stars but no one came to refill our waters the entire time and that's one of my pet peeves. :-/ But the servers were friendly and the atmosphere was fun, their prices are competitive, and and I really enjoyed the food! I'd definitely recommend Shucks! *If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!!

Food was good, service was friendly. I liked the atmosphere. Nothing stood out too much, nice place.

We have eaten at Shucks many times, that in itself is a compliment! It has a great ambiance and a huge dining area option away from the gaming lounge area. I can watch my favorite sports from wherever I sit and the best part of Shucks is the food and service! What many may not know is they have a great breakfast menu as well as lunch and dinner. Brunch on Sunday? Forget waiting in lines elsewhere! Telling a coworker what a great breakfast we had, she replied saying yes, Shucks always has great food! Aeiden was a great server! I also must add that during other times, they do NOT water down drinks because I'm not playing games! I always eat as soon as my plate is placed so I don't get photos. Next time I will take the moment to snap a few.

The food is very good and reasonable. I haven't been to two of their locations. The staff have been very good at both places. They have an extensive menu, really varied and had items for everyone.

Just had corned beef and cabbage! Awesome. Perfectly cooked. Nice portion. Love this place

The food was great!!! The server and staff were awesome. The down side that really made this a less than nice experience was the outdated interior and the horrible stale smoke smell everywhere even in the no smoking section. Suggestion is to split it into two spaces so those dining do not have to be a part of the bar smoking.

Again dissatisfied with our to go order!!! I don't know what's going on with this place and they're cooks lately but seems so inconsistent with how they make stuff. They were known or anyways I was told to try shucks 3 yrs ago because of they're lobster roll which we have been ordering but yesterdays order was just not it! The bread was dry and cold not buttery at all the lobster mix which is imitation crab really was way too cold and just poorly mixed up like wth what happened to the sandwich they use to put at least some old bay on the sandwich but way so disappointed. On top of it we ordered seafood bisque as well only to come home w clam chowder so husband called the restaurant to let them Know they told him to come back and pick up the soup and they gave him half of the to go cup which should have been full lol like wth is going on w the advice at this place now a days?

This has got to be the dirtiest place I've ever dined at. The floor doesn't appear to have been cleaned in over a year. The staff is friendly. The food is mediocre pricing the same cheap flatware, beware if you order a clam chowder bread bowl is just all bread and potatoes. Soup very little clams. Taste like Campbell's clam chowder. The bar glasses are sticky because they haven't been cleaned properly, I wanna go home and take a shower. Very sad it wouldn't take much for this place to be top notch. Been here several other times same experience so many new items are hit and miss. Good concept bad execution. Don't waste your time or your money go elsewhere.

My girlfriend and I were looking for breakfast and she said she'd had a good one at Schucks in the past. I was a little incredulous, thinking this was just a bar and seafood place, but I'd also gotten a little tired of the other breakfast places in the area, who seemed to have fallen in quality a bit. We sat down with a mimosa and a bloody Mary, ordered the chicken fried steak and corned beef hash. My take: Great service. Seating was easy , we had drinks almost immediately, and The waiter noticed that her corned beef had onions in it before even setting the food down, and had it fixed within a couple minutes. Which leads to the next item, the food. The corned beef was phenomenal and definitely house-made. No pre-made stuff out of a can here. Hearty chunks of lean brisket with almost no fat that were tender and flavorful, actually cooked in a skillet with hash browns. The portion was large and the price was great. My chicken fried steak was crispy with a lot of flavor in the breading. The gravy was great, though a bit thicker than I like (not that it mattered, I ate every bite), loaded with sausage and butter, and also clearly not something out of a box. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and not greasy. This non -breakfast place might have just become my new favorite breakfast place in the Northwest and I will absolutely be back again. Thank you!

This will scratch the itch if you have a late night craving for seafood. Staff is nice and the ambiance is a hometown bar environment. But if you have a choice to go to Stations Casino to do their oyster bar, do it. You will upgrade so fast. This place will do, in a pinch

2nd time hear.. decided to come again since our first time was amazing!! Ordered gumbo with 1/2 lb snow crab to-go. First the presentation suck. The gumbo was placed in a flat container and the rice in a round container. You would think it should've been the opposite.. The gumbo tastes horrible.. it looked like green slop. No substance, No seasoning, I had to add my own old bay seasoning and salt to taste.. it came with two snow crab legs three shrimp and a few pieces of okra. The rice was undercooked. The snow crab was over cooked!! I will be coming back again, just won't order the gumbo

We live in the area and had gone here years and years ago and couldn't remember if we liked it. So we gave it a try, again. Left side is bar, right side is dining. First off, if you don't like cigarette smoke, it is very heavy with the cigarette smoke. The menu is big, lots of seafood items but enough non seafood for anyone that doesn't eat it. They didn't have a selection of oysters, it just said oysters so was a little disappointed in that since it's an oyster bar. Waiter came around pretty fast to take our drink order but oddly wouldn't look at us when we ordered and didn't confirm anything. We were left confused on if he heard us. When the waiter took our food order it was the same thing. Never looked at us, and just walked away. We were still wondering if he heard us. But order came out right. The burger (Mother Shucker) was huge. Picture doesn't do it justice in the size. My husband said it was good. Fries were crispy. Very messy burger but it has a lot of stuff on it. Fish and chips were ok, tartar sauce was very heavy with mayo and honestly I think it was just a side of mayo. But waiter never came around for me to ask. But they had malt vinegar at the table so I had a back up. Fish were all the same size and shape so I'm assuming they were frozen. One was almost hollow inside , barely any fish in any of them so this is why I'm assuming frozen. There was about a tablespoon of coleslaw. My picture shows it behind the cup of "tartar sauce" but it's so little you can't see it. Fries were crispy. The waiter ended up coming around but literally just dropped off the check and walked away. Again no contact. Never looked at us, didn't ask if everything was ok, it's so odd. Waiter never once even came around to see if we wanted more cocktails or water. There were only 2 other tables filled in the dining room so it wasn't busy busy. Anyway, not sure if we would go back. It's so smoky in there it just didn't make for a good dining experience.

The food was not that good. In fact, I was really sick that night vomiting and I believe I may have had food poisoning. The waiter was great!

$9.00 pints of beer?? My wife and I had 2 drinks each and they cost $36.00?? GTFO! Food was fair and service fair but lost all respect with draft beer fees. No thank you.

Great menu selection they have seafood, clam chowder, tacos and a bunch of offerings. Restaurant quality with a casual vibe. Music is chill, people are chill and locals galore. It's cool and dark inside. Bartender is attentive and fills your cocktail upon finishing. You can Easily find a bar top to gamble most of the time. Drinks are made well. Patrons are friendly and you get great service with a smile!!! Oysters are fresh and food is good. A pleasant sports bar to gamble in, drink and eat!!! Playlist is awesome too!

This is a dive bar in the Northwest with some really good food! We ordered the nachos which were covered completely with toppings. I also ordered the shrimp tacos which had a really delicious sauce. Tater tots were also fantastic! We had a good server who made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance is ok - it's a dive bar - it's divey. We will be back!

Went there for lunch on a Wednesday. Food was delicious with attentive service. Interior design is interesting and original. Prices are reasonable.

Great place to get seafood. I love their clams especially in old bay. They also have great crawfish in peel and eat shrimp. The staff is always so nice and attentive to your tables. It is a bar atmosphere, so it can get a little loud, but overall you can hear a conversation at your table without having to yell over. It is definitely one of my top places to go visit. They do also have crab legs and a bunch of other items. They do have a whole menu so you don't just have to get seafood by the half pound or pound.

Service was really great, wasnt too busy at the time butur server was really nice, and always checking up on us. Food was great! Forgot to take pictures. However, the portions are nice! Calamari was cooked perfectly! Really crispy and seasoned. Fish Tacos were great to eat. I wish it was 3 tacos instead of 2, though. Got it with Garlic Fries, and they were really crispy and lots of fresh garlic which i appreciate! Also ordered the Steak and Crablegs, price was not bad, steak was grilled perfectly and crab legs were a decent portion. Overall great food, not overly priced in my opinion, and great service.

I ordered a small meal, thinking I could use tap pay. That is what I had planned to use, as I didn't have enough cash. Turns out they didn't have tap pay, but let me just pay $20 cash on my $26 bill. Didn't make a scene of it, much respect. The oysters were good, best you're going to get in the area.

Heard they had good fish and chips so I made a plan with a friend to come in and have dinner. Had never been in before so wasn't sure what to expect. It was cool inside, like a cross between an airplane hanger and a restaurant. Loved the corrugated metal and open beans. Was cool and I'll be back to sit at the bar. We sat in the dining room on this night, it was seat yourself so we picked a table all the way in the back Service was quick and we had water and soda before long. Our waiter came by and I asked him about the fish and chips as they had 2 on the menu. I asked if any were fresh or if they were frozen. He said the haddock was breaded in house, the cod was not. I ordered the fisherman's platter which is the haddock and 4 fried shrimp. My friend had the fish and chips which was the cod. For an appetizer I ordered the lobster fingers. The lobster fingers came out first and they are breaded and fried lobster meat with cholula butter. It smelled so good when he put it down I couldn't wait to dig in. It was hot and very sweet. The lobster was good and the butter out of this world. We ate it up. Next came the fish. Mine was as advertised, a nice piece of haddock perfectly breaded and delicious. Nice thick flaky white meat and a yummy batter. The shrimp were plump and cooked perfectly. I asked for some cocktail sauce for the shrimp and it went together perfectly. I was really impressed The fish and chips was frozen cod patties, not so impressive but good. Fries were good The lobster fingers were so good my friend got an order to go. I'm sad I've waited this long to come to a shucks and I'll be back soon!

Bar and restaurant. They got slot machines with the plastic dividers in between them for social distancing. This place is smoky so I don't recommend it for a place for kids. The bartenders are always so nice and personable. This is the only place I know that serves the best garlic fries. It's the best I've had so far. We always get the Peruvian Oysters which is my all time favorite. I also get the Rockefeller Oyster which is baked and is my 2nd favorite. I tried something new today which was the Soft Shell Crab. You only get 2 pieces but it was also so good.

First time here. I ordered the Ruben, without a doubt one of the best I've had. We also ordered fish and chips, also very good.

The crab is pretty good for Maryland style . Not as messy or overpoweringly seasoned as Vietnamese style . Sometimes slightly overcooked making the meat stick inside the shell, but other than that not bad. They're open late and usually not overly crowded , so that's a plus but they are also a bar that allows smoking ,so you might get blasted by smoke walking to the bathroom. These are just minor inconveniences and haven't stopped me from giving them my return business. If you're looking for decent seafood at a decent price late in the evening, shucks is a good option.

Slow service from the kitchen with only a handful of people in the place. Our waiter was attentive but barely spoke to us. He left the drinks off the bill, which I pointed out. He said nothing except "be right back"and just added them to the bill.

Just beware that this is a 21+ restaurant!! They allow smoking inside, both cigarettes and marijuana, so if you don't want to eat in this type of environment I would not come. The bar area is designated for that along with some small gambling games. We ordered the pick 4 cold or hot seafood choices for $30.99 - oysters on the half shell, calamari, Rockefeller oysters, and 1/2 lb peel and eat shrimp. I love oysters, but the raw oysters were too slimy and didn't seem the most fresh to me. Everything else was just alright. I've had more fresh shrimp. You do get a good portion for everything so it'll be great to split. We also got 1lb of crawfish for $9.99 and it comes with one garlic bread and one corn on the cob. The crawfish were TINY! I was disappointed, but the Cajun seasoning is good. Service was good and our waiter was on top of it.

This is my first time to order to go , the soup container not save to covered, when I take home , it spills all in the bag, I am very luck not spill to my clothes.

Been coming here for years only because of one man , Eric or as hes known FISH! His incredible attention to detail along with the incredible Food is what keeps me coming back again and again! OYSTERS!!

I ate at shucks last night 7/18 2024 for the 1st time. Standard sportsbar with lots of locals. I started with 1 dozen raw oysters. They looked like they might have been shucked earlier and kept chilled. Alittle dry, need to keep them in their own juice. Still were a treat. I also had the lobster roll. The roll was amazing and so were the fries. Not a fan of how they chopped up the lobster. Was hard to tell if it was even lobster. Not alot of taste. They have a good size menu so I will return to try other items.

Stopped in for a quick bite to take-out. I had lamb, crawfish and the crab and spinach dip. The dip was old, the cheese was so hard on the top. I trashed the entire cup disgusted. When you order at a restaurant you expect your food to be fresh.

Brian had great customer service-- help with my dietary requests with kindness & urgency. The soup he made me was delicious!!! Coming back
